    We've won twice in Dallas, and we're 0-? in Denver and Utah, and oddly we haven't played the Lakers at Staples yet. I'd say bring on the mavs

    We seem to have a lot of success on TNT. Let's hope we can do it again one week from now.

    Remember back at the beginning of the season when some people (and our coach, apparently) preferred Steve Blake to start over Miller? Because he plays better with Roy? I hate throwin out hypotheticals, but, given all that's happened this year, we're not a playoff team WITHOUT Andre Miller. And we're not a playoff team WITH Heedow Turkoglew

    Head-to-head, Miller is clearly better than Kidd.

    That's weird, because most people on here think Nate is a poor coach, or average at best.

    Tonight, we saw another great game plan put together. I give the credit to Nate for coming up with it and the players for executing.

    We have above average talent and an above average coach. Not a bad combo...

    As a lifelong Redskins fan, "We Want Dallas" is one of my favorite chants.

    That was a playoff-level victory. This was a case where both teams played well, but one just played better. I can't believe we've beaten them three times after how they've owned us over the past few years.

    Being a Cowboy fan even longer than I've been a Blazers fan a couple times I had to catch my self from saying 'come on Dallas!'.

    :biglaugh::cheers:

    I hope one day the 'Skins will field a team worthy of the rivalry again. When our two teams are battling for NFC East supremacy, there are few things better.

    BTW, have you noticed with the Mavs how they've darkened the blue on the unis, added the color silver and put a star on the uniforms? Hmmm... Never let it be said Mark Cuban is a marketing dummy.

    As one of the more vocal Nate critics I have to say that this is one game where Nate did one hell of a job.

    I have to give credit when credit is due. The ball movement was good and the defensive game plan great.

    It's one of the first times this season where I saw the things Nate was asking the team to do actually happen on the floor. I hope it is the first of many.
