Portland @ Dallas

Question

I see a lot of people on the Trail Blazers ..

I want to understand WHY ? also the reason of the elimination in PO last year ...

Dallas returns to a very strong team.. their problem of early season is finished ..

Dirk has founds his efficiency and especially his shoots

Portland is not a bad team away from that but right now Lamarcus has a many problem with his shoot since 2 games.. Yesterday, without a very good Crawford, They didn't win this game at the worst team in the league ..

after loose 2 straight at Rose Garden ..

The think the under is the better bet

Well, I have Portland and the under both and here are a couple reasons. My preferred math model says so and I figure the Blazers spent last night on cruise control with a no big deal opponent like the Hornets. This is only a two game trip so they certainly are not looking ahead and the focus of the trip has to be on this game. So, like I said, they spent last night on cruise control while the Mavs had a war on their hands and a longer trip home after the game. Blazers starters averaged less than 33 minutes last while the Mavs starters were over 36 minutes. It all adds up.

are you kidding me? did you even watch the blazers game? the only reason why players were playing so little minutes is because of the lack of focus they had. no one was playing like they suppose and crawford bailed us out. i&#x27;m sorry, but i was seriously watching both of these game, and in my eyes mavs were the ones on cruise control play away and keeping 10 point distance all game. blazers made a miraculous comeback late in the half.

&#xD;&#xA; &#xD;&#xA;Agreed. &#xD;&#xA;Not to mention blazers have played an extra game this month compared to mavs. I would take a full game of not playing over a 3 minute differential in playing time from the previous games these two teams played.&#xD;&#xA;mavs n the under...bol on watever you choose though

It&#x27;s the 2nd of a B2B for Dallas, but it&#x27;s still just the third game in 7 days for the Mavs, and the full roster is healthy, so they can keep guys fresh with early substitutions today.
