The Blazers just flat-out didn’t play any defense as the Mavericks hit 55.1% of their shots from the floor.  Zach Randolph had his worst game of the year and still scored 20 points and grabbed 9 rebounds.  Jarrett Jack did a good job directing the attack with 20 points, 3 rebounds, 10 assists and 4 steals.  Juan Dixon pitched in with 13 points off of the bench.  First round pick LeMarcus Aldridge got his first playing time of the season and he played well scoring 10 points and grabbing 8 rebounds in only 19 minutes.

The Trailblazers fell to 4-3 on the season, but they’ve looked good so far.
