Mavs vs Blazers - Round 1

[clambake]

i would rather the mavs lose to ex-maverick gerald wallace than to lose to memphis.

[clambake]

Batum, Wallace, and aldridge gonna put in work guarding dirk

won't have to. jj barea gonna set the all-time turnover record.

[mavsfan1000]

No team is better equipped to stop Dirk than Portland imo.

[sribb43]

Blazers formula to beat Mavs is simple. Double dirk and make Kidd, barea, Terry, marion, etc throw up long range bricks

[Giuseppe]

This matchup is ELE worthy. I can't see Dallas having much difficulty. Mavs ain't the Lakers. Portland will lolly-gag & drift until they're at the edge of the cliff, and it's too late. Then & only then will they make an effort. Because they know it's too late and they're not responsible for the loss.

I don't do predictions as a rule because it's my religion. But, this is money from home.

[sribb43]

mavs are 2-13 in last 15 playoff road games. Both wins coming over a Manu less spurs team in 2009. Doesn't look good mavs fans

Mavs lose any homes game and is Gone Fishin'
Time

Mavs are just 2-13 in last 15 playoff gms since winning WCF Gm 6 in '06. Luck_The_Fakers_both wins coming over a Manu less spurs team in 2009.

EDIT: i take it you are talking about road games, after looking a little closer, even though you didnt specify

I had a dream that the Mavericks lose game 1. It felt so real that I had to check to make sure it wasn't Sunday when I woke up.

[DPG21920]

This is going to be a phenomenal series. I am really looking forward to it.

[Giuseppe]

C'mon, Mavs, one time for Pappy.

[Kyle Orton]

The only series in round 1 really up for grabs.

Hey deep, there are some DB.COM classics in the Marion thread.

[Texas_Ranger]

Don't know why but I want to see the Mavs win tonight.

[Xylus]

Mavs win in 6.

Game 1 - Mavs
Game 2 - Blazers
Game 3 - Mavs
Game 4 - Blazers
Game 5 - Mavs
Game 6 - Mavs

[j.dizzle]

This should be good. Only game I was looking forward to watching today. Dallas needs this game badly. They cant afford to lose this one the way Portland plays at home. Portland isnt that great of a road team so they'll be confident as if they get this W.

I saw it. It blows the mind.

[Axe Murderer]

Blazers in 5. This should be pretty easy actually.

[Sean Cagney]

Yep this clown thinks his team is world beaters all the time bro! PERIOD! YET that old er is not in here tonight to take the heat, he dished it out now it's time again. I guess that old man is gone fishing already!!!!!!!!

[HarlemHeat37]

Not sure how being a 6th seed could equal being overated.. Theres really no preassure on us at all, just gotta be compe ive.

Sorry for the delayed reply, forgot about this thread..

I picked the Mavs in 6 and said Portland was overrated, because a lot of people have been over-hyping them, due to their talent level..

As I said before the series, Portland's offense relies entirely on 1 player, despite all the talent on the team..Nate McMillan is a terrible, overrated coach that limits Portland's offense, which is why I made that comment..would you agree with that?..
