    Momentum going into the 2nd half. Only down 2. Great 10-2 run to close the period

    Dallas has shot no FT's.

    I expect Carlisle will be talking to the refs about now.

    We're 12-12.

    Chandler shoved Camby in the back right before it.

    Kidd going down with 3 fouls was huge. I hope we attack him early and often in the second half and kill his rhythm by getting him into foul trouble.

    How the hell we're down only two after that ugly ass half I don't know but I'll take it. They better come to play in the 2nd half or our season is over.

    I don't understand this team man. They aren't a bunch of youngin's getting stage fright at their first playoff appearance. This is a veteran group. How do you not come out READY to play for a big playoff game? It took them over 4 minutes to score, and it took them about, what 18 minutes to get their first 20 points!

    Getting into those scuffles seems to have them revved up, but why couldn't they get themselves UP for the game to start with? I liked the way they finished, but the rest of the game has been embarassing and pathetic. I felt embarrassed that I was even watching it.

    It's either lay-uups or dunks in the key for the Mavs, with some clean blocks.

    I do expect Dallas to drive more in the 2nd half, but the Blazers are better at it, and forgot to do it in the first quarter.

    No one is playing particularly well, no reason to single out one person...

    LMA isn't Roy, at least in terms of being an every day franchise player. Old Brandon would have imposed his will on the game. LMA didn't, for some reason, and it was up to Miller to finally do what he doesn't want to do, which is shoot the ball.

    Credit to Miller for not allowing the Blazers to totally go in the tank in the first half. Without him, this game is a blow-out for Dallas.

    He seems lost on offense. He can post up Peja or Terry at will. He brings it every time on defense, though.

    Well there close jump shots but were still missing them. Here comes the Refs to make the FT disparity look better.
