    You could say the same for Dallas. In fact, this probably applies more to the Mavs.

    the focus on D isn't there as the quarter winds down

    GW has stopped being involved in the offense at all. He's playing hot potato with the basketball.

    The entire Rose Garden should chant, "Dirk's on drugs, Dirk's on drugs, Dirk's on drugs!!!" I swear, he is a tweaker.

    Hide the women and children. My IM team can play better D on P&Rs.

    Goddamn it, this is fucking the worst scenario. The Blazers CANNOT win a close game with Dallas. Dirk and Kidd and Terry just seem to find a way to put the ball in the bucket when they need it, and I don't trust the Blazers to find a person to do the same.

    Imagine if Portland had a player who could hit shots like Dirk or Jason Terry. That would be insane.

    Roy looks so much more comfortable playing next to a PG. He is a SG after all.

    Why is our pick and roll defense so bad?

    The Blazers do play text-book defense on P&Rs. But it's a text-book on how NOT to defend it.

    They need this! Seriously! It will destroy Dallas. If Dallas loses this game and they played well, they lose a lot of confidence.

    I'm very uneasy. This game has played out EXACTLY the same way the first two games did.

    The Blazers need to watch tape of Chicago's P&R D.

    We need it to be like this! We need to show Dallas they can bring their A game and we can still beat them. No one is more nervous than I am right now, but the Blazers have to win games like this.
