This game "should" be over and done with very quickly if the Mavs just play they way they've been playing. At least the Raptors got their road win last night, I'm happy with that.
Bargnani gets his first shot at Nowitzki tonight, hopefully the team, and Bargnani don't get blown out. I would consider anything within 10 points to be a successful road game in Dallas.
I agree with Skywalker, theres a good feeling thier for the Raps and hopefully they'll come out of the gates with a good start, as long as the obtain within 5 points after the end of the third quarter. Then they can pull of a win, I guess we'll have to see.
Raps have turned the corner, Garbs will contain Dirk like he did at the Worlds. Bosh will have a huge game in his Home state( 28pts 17boards). Our bench will outscore the Mavs bench by 15.
I predict a Mavs come from behind win by 6, with Bosh having 18/15 and Bargnani scoring 16 again. TJ will miss 5 layups, Fred Jones will hit one 3 then think he's god of shooting and launch 7 misses, Parker will score 14, Rasho will play solid but be benched in the 4th while the Mavs make their run by driving to the basket freely due to the raps' lack of interior D, and Garbo will play average but get too many minutes playing the role of this year's Bonner.
I think Ford will have a good game. Remember guys, Ford is from texas too (not dallas like bosh?) and he is upset with himself over his play last night. He'll be coming tonight.
