If Brandon Roy can deliver another miracle performance like Saturday? That would be awesome, indeed.

The interesting thing is that his performance IMO may be a knockout blow to DAL...it will be interesting to see how DAL comes out at home.

nice to finally see Thiago Splitter get some burn. I just don't get why Pops hasn't used him more...

[Who]

Enjoying Portland's ball pressure in the backcourt. Doing a terrific job of taking the ball out of Jason Kidd's hands and disrupting Dallas' halfcourt offense in the process.

[Who]

Aldridge is forcing the issue a bit too much. Taking a couple of low percentage off balance shots.

[samantha28]

Parker is shooting extremely well (6-6 FG, 1-1 3PT, 3-3 FT). Why is he so rarely mentioned in the best PG talk? He's not as flashy as Rose, but he is a very solid player.

[Who]

Strange to see Jason Terry on Brandon Roy again.

It sounded like from Rick Carlisle's comments that he was going to make sure Roy was given more defensive attention and pitted against stronger defensive players rather than being viewed as an ordinary reserve guard while matched up against a defensive liability in Jason Terry.

But here we are again. Huh.

[aporel#18]

I hate the iso play... Roy is a chucker. You can't win with that type of play unless you have Shaq, Pau Gasol, or the effing Scottie Pippen.

I wish him lots of health, don't hate the kid, but that playing style is "turrible"

[GreenFaith1819]

If DAL loses tonight it's over....they are done, IMO....I've been wrong before and I will be wrong again, but no way DAL recovers if they somehow lose tonight.

[Who]

I wonder what a Brandon Haywood + Tyson Chandler + Dirk Nowitzki frontcourt would look like.

Stick Kidd and another shooter (Terry or Stevenson) in the backcourt.

Tyson Chandler certainly has the athleticism to defend the four spot (Aldridge) and Dirk Nowitzki (G.Wallace or Batum) has spent a fair bit of time matched up with small forwards on both ends of the court when Portland has used small ball (or switched defensively) during this series. Have Haywood defend Camby.

Hmmm ... How does Portland score against that lineup? Does Dallas' offense decrease more than their defense improves?

I saw on the the NBA TV ticker that Kobe "refuses an MRI" and is listed as day to day as is Derrick Rose (whose MRI was negative). Why would anyone refuse an MRI?

Kobe is a warrior, MRI and all that stuff is for people who are not as tough as him

tony allen is playing good ball with the grizzlies

sure do need that d and scoring here

[aporel#18]

Conley's deal seems a bit more palatable now... he's playing well. Pops is hurting himself by sending Timmy to war against a monster like Marc Gasol. He should put Splitter on Gasol, and let Tim abuse Zach with his height advantage.

Marc is probably first in my list of players I'd like in green, right now.
