    Blazers getting no calls while the Mavs get everything. The Blazers will shock me if they pull this out.

    We just have to win beyond the margin of cheating.

    Hard to do when you should be up by 13 or 14 points but they're winning because two of your best players are on the bench in foul trouble and they've shot 12 or 13 more FTs than you.

    The FT disparity is almost laughable.

    Strangely enough....I'm not laughing.

    It can be done. It's not fair, but just imagine how we'll be treated if we advance and face the L*kers. We'd better get used to it.

    Yeah, but against the Lakers I expect it. This is the Dallas fucking Mavericks.

    The whole "on the bench with foul trouble" thing always annoys me. If a player is going to foul out, let him play until he fouls out. Any player who sits due to "foul trouble" but ends a game with fewer than 6 fouls missed out on minutes he should have played.

    Well, being in foul trouble changes how you play. Gerald Wallace or Marcus Camby are going to play much more conservative if they're playing in the first quarter with 2 fouls, the second quarter with 3 fouls, and so on. If you only have two fouls in the third quarter, they are free to play a much more aggressive style of defense.
