    Amazing heart and balls by the team to gut this one out after another crushing blow on the injury front.

    I can't believe we beat the Suns, Heat, and Mavs all within a week with our depleted roster. Maybe teams are starting to overlook us.

    Say what you want about this team, say what you want about this coach, these guys have a heart. Can't be more proud of them.

    Everyone will have to step up defensively and on the boards. Otherwise, it'll get ugly for us and we'll be lottery-bound.

    Or maybe you're overlooking your own team.

    Pretty amazing win with Juwan Howard playing center and Webster not showing up again.

    Two things I hate most about the NBA. Season ending injuries and Pathetic (and I mean absolutely fucking pathetic) officiating. And I am not even talking about the out of bounds play. Its really quite sad how they can ruin the game.

    Yesterday, all the players were not hurt you see...now it looks as if they're not healthy today...oh I believe in yesterday...suddenly, they're not half the team they used to be...There's a shadow hanging over Rose City...oh yesterday, came suddenly...Why they had to get hurt, I don't know, they cannot say. I said, somethings wrong, now I long for next season....

    Honestly, I never thought in a million years that we would have won that game. With the way we've played the Mavs the last few years and all of our injuries, that game had disaster written all over it.

    I'm really impressed with the way they fought through to the end. Big W.

    Gritty win.

    They held Dallas to nearly 20 points below their average! :smiley-wow:

    As much as I crapped on Howard, dude had a double double and 4 assists.

    :confused:
