GT: Portland Trailblazers @ Dallas Mavericks

[shen]

Keys:

1. Contain the Mavs Back court
2. Be aggressive for loose balls, ie steals and rebounds
3. Start Fast!!!!!

X-Factor: Meyers Leonard! Mavs a thin front court and we are looking for a bench player to step up. This is the perfect game for Leonard to have a breakout performance.

Side Note: We win this game and we move to 3-1 and a at least 1 game lead over the next closest team in the division. While got lot of season to go it can only help to build an early lead in the standings.

i like that image bar

Do you have any idea how hard it is to find a decent in game image for each of the starting 5 in same jersey? It took like an hour for Batum and Hickson alone. Damn near everything I found of Batum either had him in french jersey or standing next to Roy. Hickson was almost all Cavs and Kings.

Getting real close to tip off! Can't wait! I actually get to watch the game! Still got another 2 days of trial league pass! I really am as excited as the ! indicate!

[shen]

Gonna be very active on forums tonight. Damn I have to watch with the Mav's announcers.

[shen]

It is not National Broadcaster Association, it is National Basketball Association, so lets stop these Mavs commentators chatter and get to the tip off!
