Owner Mark Cuban was calm and collected before today's early tip off has he watched his superstar Dirk Nowitzki take jumpers. The truth is the Mavericks have lost 7 straight road playoff games. Today is going to be a test to live up to one of the best road game NBA records this season in the hostile Rose Garden. The focus in Portland sways between the emergence of Brandon Roy and the refs. It's hard not to focus on the refs if your a Mavs fan given their history circa 2006.
Tonight both teams will have to play hard to set the tone the rest of the way knowing there will be atleast a game 5 to play.
Stay tuned to our LIVE post game show after the game only on www.RFSportsRadio.com
