I keep hearing the comments from fans and coaches and players that all we need is to play up to our potential. That some how the games we have lost have been some kind of fluke and that we need to just get a little more form this guy and get a few more rebounds from that guy. I think it is time for this team to realize something, the blazers are not better then the mavs and they are not equals either. The blazers are a worse team across the board. In almost every position or stat the blazers are a worse team. So what does that mean for this series? It means that the blazers need to realize something, they can't simply go into the game and play their game because their game is worse then dallas's. What we need to see is a team playing better then their game. The blazers need to out work dallas in every way to win.

I dont know if they have that kind of fire in them I have watched every game this season and I haven't seen it yet, but if it is them to play like that this is the time to show it. Tonight is another back to the wall game and even if we win there is a game seven in dallas. I hope we see that heart tonight because if we don't I don't know how this team is ever going to win.
