You know what I said to be true. Dirk has more toughness in his elbow that Landry tried to have for dinner than Aldridge does in his entire body.
If dirk didn't play as a sg he would hold the le.

Getting played by an ugly felon screams toughness..
Damn scrah, are you currently doing a college term paper on that subject? Do you post about anything else, ever?
Suns in 4.
Dirk's love life really interests me..
Obviously it does, considering it's the only thing you post about.
Harlem Heat, you're a little
Why do you feel that way, Ghazi?..
Ill never try to argue lamarcus being soft, its true.. but dirk takes the award over him imo.. nothing against dirk he's a great shooter, but he's a 7 foot sg.. sg's don't usually get a lot of blocks and like to settle for jump shots.. pretty much fits dirks description like a glove.
lol Blazer fan talking . Enjoy your early playoff exit.
lol we will both go ringless this year.. its now or never for you guys though..
Anyways I wasn't talking I was stating facts..
Dirk is:
Clutch
Excellent shooter
Great leader.
Dirk isnt:
Tough
A good judge of character(see crystal)
I get it, you don't watch a lot of Mavericks games. You don't have to keep making it apparent.
When you are the best shooting big man ever, its not called settling. Its called doing what you do best. Plus, he gets to the basket a good amount off the dribble. He does play more like a 7 foot SG, but that doesn't mean he isn't tough.
I'm not going to lie, I'm guilty of that. I've seen only a handfull of games this year from your mavs.. the games I saw that is what I observed. He's mentally tough imo. Physically he just didn't seem to be any more than lamarshmellow imo. I will give it to dirk that he will give elbows and the occasional pump fake to draw contact, but he doesn't seem like he likes contact other than that.
PHX is in a great spot..Portland doesnt have any bangers on their team so if Phx beats them they wont be very tired after the series..Just gonna be a lot of jumpshots & Amare will get his. Gotta give props to phx, they been shooting lights out lately & Amare been giving out more facials then porntube.com hahahaha
Blazers wait on Suns—and on guard Brandon Roy
By Anne M. Peterson
Thanks to the Colorado Avalanche, the Portland Trail Blazers can give Brandon Roy an extra day of rest.
So just how did the NHL and the NBA teams collide?
The Blazers’ first-round playoff series against the Phoenix Suns was set for Sunday to accommodate the series between the Nuggets and the Jazz—which had to be scheduled around the Colorado Avalanche’s NHL playoff game against San Jose on Sunday.
In short, it means that Portland’s injured All-Star will have another day to — possibly—get ready for the Suns.
Roy has a torn meniscus in his right knee which kept him out of the final two games of the regular season. He will eventually need surgery to repair his knee, but doctors have told him that he can’t make the injury any worse by playing on it.
So Roy said he was going to try to play if he isn’t a liability to his team.
Roy, who is averaging 21.5 points a game, will test the knee on Friday or Saturday. If there’s no pain and swelling, he may play Sunday, coach Nate McMillan said.
McMillan is well aware that Roy’s “will-he-or-won’t he” status is drawing all the attention. But for the injury-plagued Trail Blazers, it is almost routine.
“I think a lot of people are writing us off already and I think a lot of that is due to the fact that Brandon—people don’t know whether Brandon is going to play so they’re not giving us a chance,” McMillan said. “We’ve been faced with that all season long so here we go again.”
Portland’s starting lineup was completely different in the opener than it was for the regular-season finale against Golden State. In all, the Blazers have used 16 different starting lineups.
Center Greg Oden and Joel Przybilla both sustained injuries that required season-ending surgery. Forward Nicolas Batum missed the first half of the season after shoulder surgery, and swingman Rudy Fernandez had midseason back troubles. Former forward Travis Outlaw, who was traded to the Clippers, sat out for a time with a foot injury.
Roy missed more that a dozen games with a sore hamstring earlier this year before the meniscus tear was discovered.
In all, 13 Blazers missed a combined 311 regular-season games because of injuries, second only to the Warriors this season. Only guard Andre Miller and forward Martell Webster have played in all 82 games.
The latest absence was forward LaMarcus Aldridge, who didn’t play against the Warriors after spending the previous night in the hospital with a gastrointestinal virus. He is expected to be recovered by Sunday.
“At the end of the day you still have to go out and play,” Webster said. “We’re going to rally together and play the game.”
Portland finished the season 50-32, hitting the 50-win mark for the second straight season. The Blazers wound up with the sixth seed in the Western Conference.
Third-seeded Phoenix finished 54-28. The Suns have come on late, going 23-6 since the All-Star break.
The Blazers have gone 19-8 since the break. McMillan gave his team the day off on Thursday.
Portland won the season series against the Suns 2-1.
The Blazers made it to the playoffs last season and fell to the Houston Rockets four games to two. With their youth and talent, they were expected to go further this season.
Until all the injuries happened. Now they head into the playoffs as the decided underdog, and Roy’s possible absence merely amplifies that role.
“We’re not making no excuses,” center Marcus Camby said. “There’s no excuses if you’re going to win the series. So we’re coming in confident.”
Suns are playing phenomenal. If they can continue to play this way, I think they have a great shot at getting to the WCF. If the Lakers eek their way there, or get knocked off early, I can definitely see them getting to the finals.
Don't know if they can keep it up, but for now, they are playing very, very well.
Roy to have knee surgery, will miss playoffs
By Anne M. Peterson
Portland Trail Blazers guard Brandon Roy will have surgery on Friday and will miss the playoffs.
Roy, who averaged 21.5 points, needs the surgery to repair a torn meniscus in his right knee.
The three-time All-Star was injured in Portland’s 91-88 victory over the Los Angeles Lakers last Sunday. He missed Portland’s final two regular season games.
Roy originally said that he would try to play on the knee for the playoffs. Sixth-seeded Portland plays the third-seeded Suns in the first round starting on Sunday in Phoenix.
the broom is official now.. phoenix just got a second round pass
Most predictions i'm hearing from SUNS fans and anyone NOT a Blazers fan is predicting SUNS in 5.
I'm skeptical(as always). I just don't trust this team.
