    All in all though, I'm not terribly dissapointed. The Blazers didn't play to their best, but they fought hard to the end. The Mavs came in prepared (which is something I think Stotts and his crew are lacking in, as I often see little pre-game adjustment or signs of scouting) and played well, and pulled a Blazers on us.

    Yeah it's hard to get too mad... Dallas played lights out and we made some dumb errors. Dorell and Batum probably regretting those missed free throws!

    Mo Williams played like a loser tonight. Ditto for Dorrel Wright...big time fail for the bench. T-Rob is the only one that played decent.

    Eh. Scoring 106 and shooting bad makes it a game. Not concerned at all.

    Blazers could not have played any sloppier or shot any worse. Bad D on that last play. Oh well. Onto Utah.

    The thing is, the starters didn't play badly at all.

    Dame with 32 and 5.

    LA with 19 and 13.

    Nic with 22, 6 boards, and 5 dimes

    RoLo with 14 and 14.

    The bench was flat out horrible tonight, and put us in a couple of double-digit holes.

    Calderon had 5 or 6 straight line drives for layups. Our guards were forcing them baseline but our help was in the paint. Then they were all waiting for Calderon to pass but he just walked right in and scored. I don't get why we kept forcing them baseline if we weren't going to provide better help.

    Let the trolls come. 17-4 I'll take every day after 21 games. No big whoop. WE get Utah again to get our confidence back.

    Dallas bench - 23
    Our bench - 15

    That's the difference. Period.

    I think collectively, people are handling it pretty well. I mean, it still stings but every season I watch the playoffs and realize how insignificant a single, or even handful of regular season games are in the grand scheme of things. These guys play 82 games a year to decide seedings, but lose 4 in the post season and it's over. Playoffs are another animal and a loss here or there in the regular season really doesn't mean shit.

    Bullshit to everyone saying "good game" you're supposed to protect your home court, not play like shit, and keep teasing like you're going to win then fuck it up at the end. This was not a good game it FUCKING SUCKED!

    The blazers waited to turn up the intensity till the 4th, then it was too late.
