    Rudy, Roy, Bayless, and Batum.

    Hard to overcome that.

    Bull puckey. This one is on Nate. He is responsible for getting the team ready to play....and they came out and played like they didn't give a damn. No excuses!

    Don't discount how well Dallas played, though. Dirk and Terry made some very, very difficult shots tonight. Kudos to them.

    Did they say anything about BRoy? He just wasn't himself last night and we were speculating he had the flu like Joel did last week. I don't know if that's really the case but he looked really weak (like his arms weighed a ton) by the end of the game.

    ...And here I am playing armchair doctor when I've kind of chided people about doing that with Greg's injury.

    Woops!!! Now bend over and cough. :biglaugh:

    The bending over part is usually accompanied by the singular digit expedition.

    The cough part is, uhm, well, never mind.

    Total bullcrap. Plenty of players had good enough games offensivly to win this game. This game was about Portlands inability to defend, and the second unit that never takes the ball to the hole. Put it this way, when Greg comes back, if he comes off the bench, he will give that 2nd unit an inside presence they have been badly missing.

    I think their excuse was that Josh Howard was ejected at halftime one game. Oh that's right, that is an excuse for Dallas to not show up and play. Ok how about Josh Howard not playing the last game? Oh that's right, that is an excuse for Dallas too......

    Hmmm I guess there aren't any excuses. Dallas owns the Blazers, unfortunately.
