    I enjoy watching Dirk. Something admirable about an old guy who's lost all athleticism but so skilled and smart he can limp around and change the game. Similar to Duncan I suppose. Hope Wes gets well. Wes is still my favorite Blazer. It's ridiculous when some Blazer fans badmouth him or blame him for anything.

    Big couple of games here as we could win the series and solidify our playoff spot. The Mavs have a brutal schedule and are probably the most likely to miss the playoffs.

    Go Blazers!

    I only have one request: PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE

    please…PLEASE!!…I MEAN PLEASE…do not force me to watch Dame get switched onto Dirk in the post over-and-over with the game on the line.

    I’ve been pretty patient with this team, but somebody better fix that problem.

    Thank you

    I'm going to say that Felton is playing better than I've ever seen him play and Lamarcus is just now getting his game back to his old level but I don't like either guy at all so I too couldn't answer the poll question. If I had to pick one, it'd be Lamarcus because he strung us along like the ugly girl at closing time

    oxymoron if I've ever read one. what would be interesting would be for you to actually start off a game with something good to say about the team

    Darkwebs, you should add a third poll choice. Someone more likable, maybe Josef Stalin.

    Wow, I didn't know they were starting Felton in the backcourt with Deron Williams. Dame and CJ should feast on those guys. Talk about not aging well, Deron's career went downhill fast after he got Sloan ousted from Utah. What a joke that was.

    How does Dallas not have the worst defense in the league? Nowitski at center? Washed up CV starting at PF? They must be tremendously well coached because their roster looks like Dirk & shit to me. Of course, many feel the same way about the Blazers.

    I think Plumlee is a good type of center to guard Dirk, he can cover him on the perimeter.

    I'm really looking forward to seeing Wes again.

    As for Felton and Aldridge.....ugh, what a hell of a question. Probably.....Felton. I really, REALLY don't like LaBitch. And I never had any beef with Felton other than the fact that I always thought he was a douche, and just not very good.

    Wes must be so slow right now with a tweaked knee and ankle. I'd like to see him try to check Harkless.

    Maybe it is just because it is an early game, but the crowd seems thin and quiet.
