    When opponents trap and CJ is our only real ball handler our offense turns to utter crap

    Dallas may be considering a hack-a-Blazer-any-Blazer strategy now

    Sometimes I wish we were a more physical team... Making the Mavs look like the Pistons right now.

    We need to get some of Dwight Howard's sticky stuff. Coughing that ball up.

    This team is almost utterly reliant on Dame for ball movement. Its not just him passing but the pressure the D puts on him even when he isn't doing anything that opens up passing lanes.

    So add a SF who can dribble and be a decent passer to the things it would be nice to add this off season as well as competent big.

    I can't see how we can win this. We can't play tough D because they flop so well. (and cry) and Dallas does a good job of trapping without fouling. That is a formula for disaster. Although if we shot our free throws better it would help.

    Looks like a game we need to keep close and then have Dame go HAM in the 4th.

    I say we rent a 747 get some strippers and head for Vegas. Whatever it takes to get the signings.

    Play some defense seriously. They're just conceding everything

    We have the most strip clubs per capita in the US. Blazers just gotta make that the main selling point of the presentation. "There is a strip club within walking distance anywhere in the city".

    I feel like Portland really outmatches this team, but the Mavs are just much sharper right now

    Mavs are just chopping away on the perimeter and when they do finally blow the whistle we miss foul shots.

    I agree. I think we are better off coming from behind then leading most of the game. Dallas is crafty at working the refs especially when they are frustrated.
