    Mavericks are no match for the Blazers a 17 point one sided win for Rose City. Portland can take anyteam in the league, and if they beat Minny in the playoffs, it shows we can take Dallas which could land us in the Conf. Finals. I'm more worried about Minny than Dallas though.

    Big confidence booster for the sliding Blazers. Damon Stoudamire is gelling with the first team and is playing within the system instead of forcing the issue. If he continues to play unselfishly the Blazers have a great chance to make a nice playoff run.

    I know the talk is whoever wins homecourt between the Blazers & Wolves should win. But I think the Blazers simply have too much depth to get defeated by the T-Wolves. KG is going to come out with a lot of energy, but the problem with KG is he doesn't pace himself. As a result, he's spent in the 4th quarter and when his team needs him to make a basket he can't get it done. Case in point, the Magic game. The T-Wolves went off to a blazing start, but completely fizzled at the end of the game. Without help from his teammates, KG and T-Wolves could be looking at a 5 (4-1) game ousting by the Blazers. Sheed is going to put enough pressure on KG to make spend energy on defense, and the Blazers will use Zach Randolph, Dale Davis, Patterson, & Sheed to punish KG's body on both sides of the ball. The scores in the game should be close, and I really like the depth of the Blazers to win out in any close games. If the Blazers get consistent contributions from DA and Bonzi, they are going to easily handle the T-Wolves and send them to another 1st round exit.

    Well Dallas was missing Finley last night. So the mavs are not at 100%. But the Blazers too are missing someone, Scttie Pippen. But I dont think the Blazers will get past the 1st round.

    They'll beat Minny and Dallas not cos their good but luck of the draw. Minny cant get plast the 1st round and they can beat Dallas.(Not the only team but they're not many who can). There's no way they'll get into they'll finals at all. Besides the standing could get changed and LA I think will overtake them. Hopefully cos otherwise LA would beat Dallas in the first round (#3 vs #6)

    Sorry, this was the oldest thread I could bump.... Quality posts back in the day. Wonder where these sausages all ran off to and why they left S2?

    Fez ran them off because he thought they were Timberwolf trolls.
