    Given the way we've played against Dallas I can't blame him...

    I'm liking a healthy Nicolas Batum vs Jason Kidd though. Jason Terry is the one who kills us, not Kidd, not even Nowitzki. If Bayless could step up and defend him we'd have a great chance. Or if Oden came back raring to go the Mavs wouldn't be able to stop him.

    Nowitzki looks pretty good against us the last game we played Dallas. He can make crazy circus shots and is one of the better one on one players in the league.

    I don't want Dallas at all. Hopefully they end up with a 7 or 8 seed and get knocked out in the first round, where we get a Houston with HCA.

    I would want Portland also if I was them. We can't seem to beat them at home or away.

    They may be only team that could sweep us in the playoffs. They don't seem fazed at the Rose Garden.

    Can you name a playoff team that doesn't want Portland? With Portlands record on the road against conference foes, and the chances of Portland having home court, you would be out of your mind to not want Portland in the first round of the playoffs.

    No because if I was Mixum, we wouldn't even be making the playoffs.

    I'm with most of you. They should want PDX. But it looks like Portland/Dallas will finish 7/8 (thank God, lol).

    Yep. Given the way the Blazers have been playing on the road, any team with HCA is going to beat us. Even with HCA, a more experienced team is likely to steal one in Portland - which is all it takes. :sigh:

    Am I the only one who thinks it'd be a completely different story in the playoffs? If the Blazers came out with even half the intensity they did in the Lakers or Spurs games beating Dallas in a 7 game series would be very possible.

    dallas has our number pretty good, unfortunately they would most likely have to beat someone else to play us in the 2nd round, if we can win our 1st rounder as well.

    While Dallas had been too much for Portland this year, so far - I too think it will look very different in the playoffs. Hack - the number of off-balance unbelievable shots Dirk Diggler put against us in both home games was mind boggling. Sooner or later they will not all go in...
