Really people, if Portland plays "in your face" basketball they should be fine. They can't come out thinking that this is all over and Dallas is running scared.
Dallas, like Portland is a streaky team. Portland was reacting to what Dallas was doing in the first three games. Now Portland is making Dallas react.
Push them around as much as possible and Portland wins tonight! In a gmae seven anything can happen and as many of you remember, it does!

This is my Outlook on Game 6
Most people thought that the series was over after the Blazers fell to a 3-0 deficit. The Blazers have successfully taken the momentum in this best of seven series. With a win tonight they can become the third team in NBA history to force a game 7 after falling behind 3-0. Every player that played in Game 5 made a positive contribution for the team. The Blazers look better than when they went on their season run. They look focused, under control, and determined to make NBA history. The so called most "dysfunctional" team in the NBA is playing like the most connected team in the NBA.
I have to admit that in Game 5 I thought Cheeks was crazy for not having Damon play in the fourth quarter. That is until I saw how Pippen was shooting, defending, and running the team. I saw flashes of when he lead Portland to 22 victories in 27 tries. The team followed his every command and he led them to a dramatic victory. Damon is also playing very well. He is knocking down his jumper and getting his teammates involved. The rotation of Damon and Pippen is one hell of a combo. Jeff and Antonio will both play very little if at all in tonight's game. Jeff may play in the first half so that Damon can rest a little, but it will most likely be Pippen and Damon the entire second half.
If the Blazers win tonight, which I think they will, they will be in the driver's seat to make NBA history. Think about what the Blazers have gone through this season and then think about what the Mavs have been through this season. It is clear that the Blazers not only are physically stronger they are mentally stronger. For a team to win in the Playoffs they have to have a strong mental psyche, and the Blazers have the strongest of all the NBA teams.
It should be a very entertaining game tonight. It is a shame that the worst announcer in NBA history is going to call the game. No matter what the Blazers do Bill Walton will find a negative spin to put on it. It is too bad that he was ever a Blazer, he is a disgrace to the organization and should be banned from ever calling a Blazer game.  |

This game is all about which team has the ability to go to a higher gear. Does Dallas have a higher level that they can play at? Does Portland?
Which team will step UP?
Go Blazers

sudden death means if a team scores, it's over. But they'll probably do some lame arse post game show.

ESPN is going to give bonus coverage at halftime of the Portland game since Hockey is screwing us!
