Blazers vs Dallas Mavericks

Dallas is coming to Portland after suffering one of their worst defeats this season at the hands of the Clippers. 97-87. Dirk got his 20+ but the rest of the team shot a measely 35%. It was their first loss after Avery Johnson took over as coach while Nellie recovers from surgery.

The Blazers made it to the summit of that proverbial "hump" and beat the San Antonio Spurs 99-107 Monday night. All Blazer fans are hoping for a repeat tonight. I'd say it is quite possible. The Blazers have always faired well against Dallas. I look for a head to head stand off between Damon Stoudamire and Jason Terry. Both playing better than they ever have. I don't thinkwe should put all our attention on Dirk though, after a humiliating loss to the Clips, the Mavs will be seeking a bit of redemption. Bad games are often followed by good games.

Both teams have had a day off. Dallas is on a 2 game road trip this being game #2. The Blazers need to do what they did Monday, MAKE FREE THROWS, VALUE THE POSSESSION and mind those TURNOVERS! If the Blazers can do that, they will be victorious. DA and Zach are listed as probable for tonight's game. If Zach plays, it will be limited minutes. Zach will be phased back into his starting spot. I think Theo will be moved to the bench.
Tonight however, I expect the same starting line up we saw Monday: Theo, Pryz, Ruben,NVE, and Damon.
