    I can't believe this is even a story.

    I am hoping that may light a fire for the Blazers. They need to grow some balls and hopefully an event like that; backed by the fans booing, may be enough ammo for the Blazers to get a little saucey in game 6 and 7. We need to be aggressive. How in the hell does a soft team like Dallas be able to push us around. That is totally unexecptible!

    I think that Matthews or whoever is being guarded by Barea in the post should turn and hit him with a hard elbow right in his rat-like nose. That's just basketball, and it's not Wesley's fault that Barea is 5'2" tall.

    That was a legal pick. The only issue that I can agree with is that it was unnecessary given the time and score. The team shouldn't need something this insignificant to motivate them in an elimination game.

    And, Patty, leave this stuff out of twitter, please. Threatening them by saying they will have to "deal with the rest of the family" makes you look weak.

    my thoughts exactly. The Mike's just sounded butt hurt when this happened as well. I didnt see it the first time so I rewound it and was surprised that, that was it.

    Unnecessary considering the game situation. But nothing illegal about it. Hope this is one more thing to get the boys fired up!

    Welcome to the playoffs, Portland. Perhaps you may consider joining in the reindeer games instead of just bending over and taking it?

    It was basically the last play of the game. They haven't had a chance to retaliate.

    The Blazers need to get a little upset and chippy. They need to stop being pushed around by Dallas, possibly the softest team in the playoffs other than us.

    It drove me nuts in game 4 (or was it game 3?), at halftime when Nate told the reporter that he was upset that the Blazers had started getting chippy towards the end of the half. WTF? That "chippiness" is what got us back in the game before halftime.

    I agree, but at the same time with the game situation the full court press wasnt needed either. I would be happy if the roles were reversed. :cheers:

    Wallace got a foul called him for less... "it's the playoffs" only works when you're on the refs' side that night.

    It was a dirty play by Cardinal. No question about it. Hopefully we will respond. These are the times that I miss Oden so much.

    Cardinal playing hard, I love it!!!!! Every single one of you complaining about this would be giddy if Joel was still a Blazer and had done that to one of their guys.

    I understand. I guess I just didn't see it as dirty or a big deal. The Blazers need to man up and stop playing like a bunch of girls. Cardinal played the right way and set a hard pick. Going 100% until the horn sounds. I just don't get what the issue is?

    I saw that when it happened. Yeah, it ticked me off. It was a hard screen, and seemed unnecessary at the time. We could use a dick head like that on our team.
