I hate this matchup, but I have to have a little faith.

if dirk and terry do their best impressions of themselves, blaze.

clash of the old PGs? Get JJ out there to run on Andre Miller?
Over/under on amount of 3pt gestures Rudy/Terry hold up between them?
Marion guarding Gerald Wallace...uhhh...
TheMarcus is damn good.
Portland's road record is atrocious.

i'll be interested to see who the Blazers put on Dirk. that's really all the Blazers have to worry about on the defensive end.
C-C-C-Camby Dirk combo breaker!
has to be. even if he's old and slow. they won't want TheMarcus tiring out that much chasing Dirk around, and Wallace is only about 6'7" so dirk will take him down to the block and average about 50ppg

Uh, Dirk isn't taking anybody named Wallace down to the block. Against Dirk GW is basically an immovable object.
Dirk doesn't need to power through him on the block. at 6'7"...turn and shoot over. or do the dirkfade
Aldridge will not be a factor in this series.
If the last couple games is any indication, Terry will do his usual nothing in the playoffs. We have to hope that Dirk decides to be the best player in the series. If he's not, then the Mavs' chances don't look too good.

Right, but he won't be doing any of that from the block.

they really won't send Dirk to the block if he has a guy half a foot shorter than him guarding him?
Wallace might have the quickness to keep up with Dirk on the perimeter, but I don't think the Blazers are stupid enough to try this defensive matchup.

I remember when Dirk put up 46 on the Blazers during the playoffs in the Rasheed/Pippen days. Wish he'd do that again.

It's all hypothetical anyway. I don't think they'd guard Dirk with Wallace because they don't have to. All I'm saying is if by chance Dirk found himself on the block against Wallace, GW would just push him out. Wallace is much stronger.
Wallace is a beast of a man...but it is hard to give up height to Dirk.

Man, if Dirk can continue to be one of a handful of players in NBA history to average 25 and 10 over the course of his playoff career, I'll take it.
Dirk is awesome in the playoffs, its everyone else who sucks. Especially Kidd and Terry.
If the Mavs guards can't help out Dirk then they will lose in 6. Otherwise they can win it in 7.

Have you watched the last few games? He's not been the best player. Missing layups in the NBA is inexcusable. That being said, he still has a lot of untapped potential.
I'll say Mavs in 6.

His foot injury really hurt his development. I'd even say he regressed this year. He was unstoppable in the lane last year akin to Tony Parker's game. This year when he attacks it usually means a blocked shot or turnover.
Mavs in 3 (Portland forfeits game 4).
Let's see if Dirk can get some help this time around.
Good first half for Mavericks.
The Mavs are acting like they've won the championship. Terry is such an idiot.
Playing with toughness, REBOUNDING, everybody getting involved offensively.
Defense is salty right now. Wallace with 0 points. If we take away that back-door alley oop we'll be in good shape.

Terry is a clown but he's just getting people fired up. I'm okay with it especially because he's out there playing with some heart. Hustling and playing D.
Also the Mavs are driving the lane on almost every possession. I like it.

Mavs have gone almost 10 minutes without making a field goal...
Getting some calls...
