Man, I feel bad for the Blazers, this organization deserves a break. Their top paid franshise player plays 25 minutes and scores 2 points. It has to be frustrating knowing he can't do much more.
Did you see how many times POR forced a switch? Haywood was the only who could hang with LA. I still think POR takes this in 6. The played well enough to win tonight. Kidd won't make 6 threes in a game again. And their second and fourth leading scorers put up a combined 4 pts.

ESPN didn't even dare show these replays. Found this on a Blazer forum. <iframe title="YouTube video player" width="480" height="390" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/NORVvbkn0MM" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe>
Nate McMillan fined $35K for comments regarding officiating. Funny how the NBA only wrote 5 lines for this... http://www.nba.com/2011/news/04/18/mcmillan-fined/index.html?ls=iref:nbahpt2 ESPN: http://sports.espn.go.com/dallas/nba/news/story?id=6384332
How did Wesley Matthews not get drafted? I'm kinda hoping Portland wins this, cuz I don't see how Dallas can even compete with LA. They seem soft.
