the thing with dallas is that rondo has been playing excellent d on james...so that concerns me, and when they're on with their offense, they're unstoppable...
If Matthews is done then I am a whole lot more confident against Portland, but my goodness...Dallas is so weak. Praying we draw them.
We played them in the playoffs 10 years ago, which was the first playoff series I watched so it would be nice to have that redemption. Game 5 and 7 still fill me with such hatred.

Is it wrong that I would love to have him on the Rockets? Blazers probably go with Afflalo, also a free agent I think. If we can get him for cheap, would love to have him. Actual 3 and D guy.
He is severely underrated, but I feel like he would to be too expensive for us. It will be interesting to see how long his recovery is and what his subsequent contract will be. Portland will surely move on
Not if he did actually pop his Achilles. If that happened, he'll be dirt cheap because his career will all but be over.
Afflalo is a worthy replacement for Matthews but the Blazers thin chance at the Finals is all but gone now because of their poor depth. They might still finish #3 or #4 seed but it won't matter. Matthews lost a chunk of money with that Achilles injury.
