Two comebacks in a row would be a bit much to ask for, wouldn't it? Especially in a game where the Blazers played prolonged stretches of putrid defense combined with shabby offensive execution. They never seemed to develop any true rhythm and even when the Mavs tried their damnedest to hand them ...

ripcityproject.com 3/12/2009 — Another game against Dallas and another loss. The Mavs sweep the season series which saw 2 of the 3 games take place at the Rose Garden. A pretty big loss for a couple reasons. One the tie-breaker obviously goes to Dallas which in this tight race makes me nervous. Second, it erases the Laker ...
