Game Six: Dallas Mavericks at Portland Trailblazers

Ugh....

Maybe a little too much party boy after the GS win...

I didnt know that the mavs were LAST in offensive rebounding and 4th to last in rebounding all together. Does that surprise anyone? With offensive, I guess our fg % has been one of the best, but I always considered us a decent rebounding team.

Well, just looking at the box score, we are again getting out rebounded 22-16.

Mo shots got some time in the 2nd, I guess we are that thin. Barrea j5 and JET look good. Dirk has only taken 3 shots, for 7 points. Bass had a sweet block. Diop hassell and everyone else has just been... blehh..

diop

ok, diop is rebounding now like crazy... go figure... still cant get a ball to go in on those tip-ins though

by Toddy on Nov 10, 2007 10:38 PM CST reply actions

i think mavs should put balls in dirk's hand more,

but then i noticed that dirk will immediately pass the ball out to someone else.

yes, dirk is the focus of their defense, but i don't believe they are so good that dirk cannot shoot.

by bigcat on Nov 10, 2007 10:45 PM CST reply actions

yeah...

hes been timid as of late... I cant believe they are still in this game.

Good thing they have now played 2 teams in a row that cant hit a free throws, or else this would be really ugly.

Also doesnt help when you shoot 30 PERCENT FROM THE FIELD!

by Toddy on Nov 10, 2007 10:58 PM CST up reply actions

FG%

so many turn around jumpers for the mavs, and they arent hitting any of them! and now they cant connect on layups

by Toddy on Nov 10, 2007 11:01 PM CST reply actions

finally

bass DUNKS a ball...

by Toddy on Nov 10, 2007 11:02 PM CST reply actions

They are sucking

Taking all sorts of outside shots when their FG% is horrible. Bass is playing well, I have to say. The double team swarms Dirk so quickly, kind of like with Golden State.

by Marie on Nov 10, 2007 11:03 PM CST reply actions

mmm...

dirk often passed the ball out BEFORE double team came.

now they do not even bother to double team dirk. and dirk still cannot hit.

it is blazer who played last night

but mavs just seemed FLAT.

starting from dirk, they seemed to go through motions, and can't wait for the game to be over.

i know there are some guys unavailable. but those who are available at least should gave it a fight. when only diop and bass are your aggressive players on court, you are in deep trouble.

by bigcat on Nov 10, 2007 11:03 PM CST reply actions

Can they break 70?

by Wes Cox on Nov 10, 2007 11:05 PM CST reply actions

what a weird game...

all the bad calls seem to favor the mavs, we are hustling down every missed shot, but cant seem to put anything together.

Roy just put the blazers up 14. I still like like we are in it though because no one has stepped up all game for the mavs and one has to think SOMEONE will come through.

BASS

A DUNK!! I like him a lot..

only down 10 now...

by Toddy on Nov 10, 2007 11:08 PM CST reply actions

I'm watching the game through league pass

and the announcers from portland are raving about bass... how did NO let him go?

by Toddy on Nov 10, 2007 11:10 PM CST reply actions

dirk fumbles the ball

and of course bass picks it up and gets yet another dunk... still down by 12 though

by Toddy on Nov 10, 2007 11:11 PM CST up reply actions

Offensive foul on Dirk?

Pryzbilla had the same kind of pick on Terry at the end of the half and there was no call!

by Marie on Nov 10, 2007 11:14 PM CST reply actions

dirk just picked up his 5th foul

by Toddy on Nov 10, 2007 11:14 PM CST reply actions

here comes mo shots

AJ throwing in the towel?

by Toddy on Nov 10, 2007 11:15 PM CST reply actions

with 5 mins left

roy already had 29 pts, and mavs down 18

by bigcat on Nov 10, 2007 11:15 PM CST reply actions

I kind of hate these Blazers commentators

by Marie on Nov 10, 2007 11:16 PM CST reply actions

"kind of"

I do.

by Toddy on Nov 10, 2007 11:17 PM CST up reply actions

It's just that I've heard worse homers

Like the Celtics guys, for example.

by Marie on Nov 10, 2007 11:18 PM CST up reply actions

Suns

are the worst to me... makes me vomit in my mouth when they talk about how great diaw and dantoni are.

by Toddy on Nov 10, 2007 11:20 PM CST up reply actions

Yeah, they're pretty bad too, I agree

by Marie on Nov 10, 2007 11:22 PM CST up reply actions

ROY

is owning us from deep... what do you know he has a career high tonight. So much for hassels defense.

by Toddy on Nov 10, 2007 11:16 PM CST reply actions

This is hard to watch

by Wes Cox on Nov 10, 2007 11:16 PM CST reply actions

Yeah, definitely

It was ugly from the start.

by Marie on Nov 10, 2007 11:17 PM CST up reply actions

finally jet start going inside.

and immediately got an and 1.

hope it is not too little too late

by bigcat on Nov 10, 2007 11:17 PM CST reply actions

well, it seems

it is too little too late.

by bigcat on Nov 10, 2007 11:19 PM CST up reply actions

who else will have a career night

whoa!! Mo shots just had a dunk! it must be a career night for him too in his first shot within the three point line!

by Toddy on Nov 10, 2007 11:18 PM CST reply actions

Blazers

are going to be good in a few years when odem gets back and develops.

Here is nick fa-whatever... this should be fun to watch

by Toddy on Nov 10, 2007 11:25 PM CST reply actions

Barea

should play more... I know he is small, but he has so much potentially offensively. He may have been the spark that could've gotten us in this game

by Toddy on Nov 10, 2007 11:27 PM CST reply actions

hey guys

visiting Blazers fan checking in.

Every time Terry, Stackhouse, Nowitzki or Howard teed up a 3, I cringed, thinking "this team has too many shooters to stay this cold." The Blazers very very fortunate to catch the Mavs on what will probobly be their worst shooting night of the season.

The Blazers couldn't grab a defensive board or hit a FT but they played well in most other facets of the game.

I can't even remember the last time we beat you guys, so I'm happy about it, no matter how it happened.
