GDT Blazers @ Mavs Game 2

[NewJerSpur]

Your mother's gotta get off that 14 incher first

She doesn't get down like that on the first date.

[Killakobe81]

Well no ref excuses tonight Mavs are just better.

Mavs in 5 six max

[TE]

In all honesty, if Dallas plays defense like this they can get to the finals.

[FkLA]

mav fags going crazy over 1st round championship :lol:

[xtremesteven33]

Dallas fan cant get too excited seeing the Mavericks go up 2-0

[NewJerSpur]

In all honesty, if Dallas plays defense like this they can get to the finals.

Lakers have a better offense than Portland, but Dallas' defense has been pretty impressive. No easy lobs this time around.

[sefant77]

Be pretty funny if Dallas is the only team in the West to sweep the first round.

lol adrian wojnarowski

[dallaskd]

my only concern is JET needs to start fucking scoring the ball

[tlongII]

Mavs played well. We didn't. Congrats to the Mavs. See you in game 3.

I hope the Lakers bigs are watching some of these games but I doubt it.
-Pau is probably drinking some tea at the local coffee shop.
- Odom is probably filming his show.
- Bynum is probably cruising PCH in one of his 15 cars or playing Xbox
- Kobe probably cussing out his wife.:lol

[Axe Murderer]

It's good to see a guy on the other team drive to the rim and not be guaranteed a layup everytime.

Haywood and Chandler were huge this game roughing up Aldridge and clogging the lane.

lol Jason Kidd averaging 21PPG

lol Kidd&Peja 39p combined

lol Roys contract

[MavDynasty]

tbh seems like he doesnt tweet but just has the account to get tweets and respond to ppl

[Zelophehad]

I guess this is his wife?

[MavDynasty]

is she following him? prob

[mavsfan1000]

Wow! Kidd and Peja turning back time. I think the key is that Kidd matches up real well with Andre Miller. That makes it easier for Kidd on both sides of the court and the team looks way better when Kidd is effective.

[i MAke GOod POlls]

this series is over

[Ghazi]

hope we get more out of terry/marion going forward..

that being said

Kidd w/ 18/8/4 ... DOK U UPSET? :lmao
Peja > Wallace... DARRELL U UPSET? :lmao

[NewJerSpur]

D-Fish isn't letting Kidd get those shots off, he's fighting through screens by Dirk.

[Zelophehad]

is she following him? prob

Yes. I guess this is him and his wife then tbh

This series is just plain hilarious. Blazers don't match up well with Dallas at all. Worst first round match up possible for them. Dirk is just plain clutch.

funny how almost everyone on this forum was saying the exact opposite before the series started.

[sefant77]

Roys contract is a bigger trainwreck than Arenas or Lewis

Not me. I was pissed that the Lakers didn't draw the Blazers. The Blazers match up much better with LA. Dallas would have been screwed if matched up with Memphis or Denver, but the Blazers are not a bad matchup. Nobody to take advantage of Kidd/Terry's terrible defense.

All that said, the Blazers will have a chance if they learn to defend the 3 point line (i.e. rotate) and improve their 4th quarter offensive execution. Peja is no Matt Bonner. He's got plenty of playoff experience and has played a big role in huge games. He won't miss many of those open looks.

Yeah, because the great Mike Conley would have tore Kidd up :rolleyes

[Tinystarz]

Wow did the mavs rub the chokarthritis to the blazers?

[dallaskd]

Kidd is a terrible defender?

[j.dizzle]

The Blazers have always been a weak road team.Their role players play much better in front of their home crowd but Dallas is a good road team so the next 2 should be good.

[InRareForm]

This series has come down to the 4rth quarter, mavs have the best player and two players playing exceptionally well (kidd, peja).

.mavs will win this series in 5

[MavDynasty]

tbh I think game 3 is a close portland

game 4 a blowout in Dallas favor

game 5 closeout win with portland choking in the 4th

[mavsfan1000]

Kidd is a terrible defender?
Depends on the matchup. If it is Tony Parker or Chris Paul, he would get owned.

[stretch]

my only concern is JET needs to start fucking scoring the ball

hey, as long as he is not doing a lot of stupid shit and dumb turnovers, while taking good shots, im happy with him

[dallaskd]

this is true but so does most of the league

Outside of Rondo and Rose, most PG's would prob get owned

[sefant77]

Those niggas start hitting all the 3's when they reach the RG though

truth right here my niggaz

[Jacob1983]

I think game 3 is a must win for the Mavs. They can't let this Portland team have any hope. It's gonna be tough for the Mavs in Portland. Hopefully, they can use the confidence they got from winning tonight and try to steal game 3 in Portland. Why doesn't The Mask let Chandler post up in the paint?

[i MAke GOod POlls]

I think game 3 is a must win for the Mavs.

lolwut?

Portland has to win one in Dallas, not the other way around.

[sefant77]

btw the Blazers could not even win with Miller and Camby going 2-2 from downtown...

[sribb43]

Winning in Portland is tough. If the series comes back 2-2 can't wait to see all the Chockericks threads....but this series is setup perfectly for a Mavs Fail by blowing a 2-0 lead

[sribb43]

btw the Blazers could not even win with Miller and Camby going 2-2 from downtown...

Miller hit 2 and Camby 1...those were 9 BS points they won't get in game 3

[dallaskd]

How long do you guys think we should continue to rest Roddy? I say as soon as he's ready, have him come off the bench, and play 15 min a game in small doses for the rest of the series. surprisingly, ill take what barea has been giving us

[Shank]

Go fuck yourself, Portland.

Trail Blazers guard Brandon Roy fights off tears, frustration after reduced role in Game 2



DALLAS – Brandon Roy has fought through a lot of things in his career, but never has he had to do what he did Tuesday in Dallas during Game 2 of the Trail Blazers' first-round series.

Brandon Roy, the face of the franchise, had to fight off tears.

The urge to break down came in the first half of the Blazers' 101-89 defeat to the Mavericks. It was in part because of the humiliation of being the Blazers' last substitute, chosen to play after Nicolas Batum, Rudy Fernandez, and even Patty Mills.

And it was out of frustration of being used in the most throwaway of fashions: 2:36 at the end of the first; 3:06 at the start of the second; not at all in the third; and 2:17 at the start of the fourth.

All told, the three-time All-Star played a scoreless 7:59, missed his only shot from the field, missed both of his free throws, and made one turnover.

“There was a point in the first half, and I was thinking 'You better not cry,''' Roy said. “I mean, serious. I mean, there was a moment where I felt really sorry for myself. Then I was like, nah, you can't be sorry for yourself. I'm a grown man, but there was a moment there that I felt sorry for myself. Especially when I think I can still help.''

Roy was one of the first players to leave the locker room, but when he was stopped in the hallway, the hurt and confusion were still evident.

“I'd be lying if I said I wasn't a little hurt, or disappointed,'' Roy said. “But the biggest thing is to keep moving, to try and keep my spirits up. But it's tough man. I just …. I just always thought I would be treated better. That was a little disappointing for me.''

Earlier in the day, Roy said he is frustrated that people think his biggest obstacles are his knees. His knees, which were both operated on in January, feel good, he says.

It is his mental game that needs work, Roy says. He needs to find a rhythm, regain the confidence in his shot. It's why he spent the eve of Game 2 working out in American Airlines Center from 7-8 p.m.

Roy said he believes he can still help this team, but he can't do it the way McMillan used him on Tuesday.

“I come in the last sub of the first quarter … then OK, I'm in there for (2:36), then I play, then it's the end of the quarter,'' Roy said. “Then I start the second and Bam! I'm right back on the bench again. I mean, I don't know what I could have done! Then I sit, and he puts Patty and Rudy in before me. I know physically I have to play, but mentally, how do I just go …''

Roy acts like he is being put in the game, and feigns a skipping motion.

“'It's OK! I'm going to play' and be all giddy?'''

For the series, Roy is averaging 1.0 points, 1.5 assists and 1.0 rebounds in 17 minutes. He is 1-for-8 from the field, 0-for-3 from the line and 0-for-2 from three-point range.

After the game, McMillan said he didn't use Roy more because he felt Dallas' guards were pressuring Roy and Rudy Fernandez too easily, and because the starters were playing so well.

Roy said he and McMillan had not spoken, and that he didn't plan on approaching McMillan on the team's long flight home.

“I think my nature I've never been one to confront. Never been the one to create controversy,'' Roy said. “I think coach is comfortable with his guys and it's hard for him to get me back in there. If that's what he is comfortable with, then I'm going to try and support the team. And if he can get us past (the first round), then he can. I just always thought I would be treated a little better, but … it is what it is. I'll be all right. I'll go home see my kids, and be happy.''


wtf, he dont realize he plays like a 60y old?

I'd say hold off for now. Pretty much unless Terry goes out there and lays a complete egg and they need a spark, they just need to keep doing what they have been doing. No need to change up the rotation, considering how things have been going well so far.

wtf, he dont realize he plays like a 60y old?

its hard to finally come to that realization, when you were a top 15, maybe top 10 player in the league, who was only getting better. I really feel for the guy. He had the chance to do great things, probably even have a HOF career, and it has been derailed due to unfortunate injuries.

[Giuseppe]

If it'd a been Kobe everybody would be yuckin' it up.

Fuck Roy.

[DisAsTerBot]

17 fts!!! holy shit

[stretch]

dirk is doing some serious work in that high post. using his brains to take advantage of the superior athletes he is facing to draw fouls constantly. not to mention he is playing as strongly in the post as I have ever seen him. dude is getting physical, throwing his body around and knocking people around, completely determined on scoring at the hoop. hopefully he will keep it up, because his jumper has not been falling quite as consistently the past few weeks.

It's pretty scary that he is averaging 30pgg on 38% shooting.

[Giuseppe]

Yeah, when Kobe does that he's strung up by his Buster Browns.

[Jodelo]

Nah, Kobe would average 30 ppg on 38 shots, that´s the difference.

[Otaku]

Nah, Kobe would average 30 ppg on 38 shots, that´s the difference.

Which is better than 30ppg on 42 shots. Self ownage :lmao

[stretch]

Which is better than 30ppg on 42 shots. Self ownage :lmao

i think he was meaning 38 shots a game. quite an exaggeration, but there is no question that Dirk is and always has been a more efficient scorer than Kobe, mainly due to the fact that Dirk doesnt take nearly as many bad shots. It doesnt neccesarily make him a better or more deadly scorer than Kobe, but he is definitely more controlled and patient on offense.

however, most of the shots that Dirk is missing are jumpers, which is strange for him, especially this year. I'd hate to see how deadly he would be once his J is falling again, which will likely be happening extremely soon, perhaps tomorrow night.

[stretch]

Yeah, when Kobe does that he's strung up by his Buster Browns.

because the reason Kobe usually shoots that badly is because he takes dumbass shots, like long contested offbalance fadeaway 2s. Dirk has simply been missing open shots that he makes the majority of the time.

[Jodelo]

Which is better than 30ppg on 42 shots. Self ownage :lmao

38 in a game you little ugly faggot! Dirk averages 30 ppg on 21 shots! Talk about self ownage...

apparently brandon roy started to cry at the end of the bench
