Blazers/Mavericks

It's just amazing the free throw disparity when you look at the home and away games for Portland in this series. The refs should make the same calls no matter where they are, but it is the NBA so you can always expect them to be like Pac-10 refs.

At this point, it will take a miracle for Portland to win this series. I think that Dallas closes it out in Portland.

Portland comes back and takes it in 7.

I lean toward this conclusion as well. I believe the foul and free throw disparity will be discussed and checked by the officials (and those they have to answer to). Mostly the "non-calls" against Portland have to be addressed. Nate shouldn't have to be T-ed or fined to get attention.

It'll be addressed for the game in Portland, but I have no faith it will last more than a game, especially with the way NBA officials are.
