The Daily Nickel

1.  Mavs take 2-0 lead - Led by essentially the 2003 All-Star team (Dirk, Peja, JKidd, Marion), Dallas looked pretty dang strong and Portland is officially in must-win mode for the next 2 games.  I wouldnt be against giving Steve Francis, Jamal Mashburn or MJ a call to see what they have left in the tank...

2.  Least surprising/Most suprising Mavs - Least suprising has to be Dirk.....because he's always awesome.  Dirk's throwing down 31/game in the series, but more importantly he's averaging 16 per 4th quarter.  Most suprising have to be JKidd.  After averaging 8pts/game during the season, he's averaging 21 this series on a ridiculous 64% shooting and always seems one step ahead of the other guy.  It's obvious the guy got his hands on a stash of "Limitless" pills.

3.  Most surprising for Blazers = How bad Brandon Roy sucks.  1 for 8, 2 pts for the series and played just 8 min in G2.

4.  Danny Crawford loves to hate us - Dont be fooled into thinking the curse is over.  I'm sure we'll face him again this playoffs, probably with Kobe on the floor next time.  That's not good.

5.  Rangers get hammered - This was not a fun game to watch.  Colby was really bad and our bullpen continues to suck.  Tommy Hunter and Brandon Webb cant get back soon enough.  Not that any of that mattered.  Borbon was on the field.

  1. If you look right in between the old school high five of Dirk and Kidd you can clearly see that William Hung is a Mavs fan
