    "The Mavericks have taken four of five from the Blazers, including two of three in Portland.

    Aldridge has averaged 24.9 points in his last 15 against Dallas. Lillard, though, was held to 14.3 per game and 28.3 percent shooting in the four matchups last season."

    Bulletin board material for the Portland locker room! Especially, the last sentence. Damian got his shot back in the first half last night and seemed motivated by Trey Burke's comments to the media. I want to see him have a huge game tonight.

    Looking at the match-ups with the starters I like what I see. Those are all winnable match-ups so I would say the key would be the 50/50 balls and hustle plays. If the talent is there for us to win the match-ups its those little things that could prevent that from happening.

    As far as the bench goes to me it comes down to Vince Carter. Keep him in check and dont let warm up and have one of those throwback games and the bench match-up should be a push.

    Who do you think taught him those stellar written communication skills? It's a community college. In this world, you get what you pay for.

    As long as they don't let Dirk or some other player have a career night, they 'should' be ok.

    Monta. That's who we need to focus on.

    Dirk will be Dirk. Not really worried about him because he isn't as prolific as he once was, but it seems guys like Monta always have a big game against us. We need to work on containing him.

    Hmm... am I crazy for thinking it might be viable for us to put Nic on Ellis and Wes on Marion? I think Nic's length and quickness might mess with Ellis, and Wes is strong enough to keep Marion off the boards.

    Totally agree. Don't even let him touch the ball. A mix of Wes and Nic should do the trick!

    Monta has a way of going off on the Blazers. He does that to a lot of teams but if memory serves, he is on the Blazer opponent all-star team of which Goran Dragic is the starting PG.

    This could be one of those games where we are having a tough time putting them away. They have a shit ton of talent and scoring.
