(SportsNetwork. Kurt Rambis Lakers Jersey .com) - Two of the Western Conferences postseason teams from a season ago tangle early in this campaign when the Portland Trail Blazers welcome the Dallas Mavericks to the Moda Center. Theyre a great team, Mavs coach Rick Carlisle said. Theyre a playoff team, and theyre a different team than what weve seen with the quality of their big men and their 3-point shooting ability straight across the board. Its a tough matchup, and thats always a very difficult place to play. The Mavs begin this mini road trip on a roll, winning three straight and vaulting into the league lead in scoring at 111.8 ppg. Dallas will also visit the Utah Jazz on Friday before returning home. The Mavericks reached 3-1 Monday night with a 118-113 victory at home over the Boston Celtics. Chandler Parsons scored 29 points on 10-of-15 shooting, but the Mavs nearly squandered a 26-point lead. Jeff Green and Avery Bradley fueled the Celtics comeback, totaling 35 and 32 points, respectively. Bradley had a chance to tie things at the free throw line with 39.5 seconds to go but only made two of his three attempts. Monta Ellis, after fouling Bradley behind the arc, ended Bostons 9-0 run with a tough runner off the glass to give Dallas a 116-113 lead. He made two more free throws to seal the win. They are scrappy and you know that they are going to continue to fight back, Mavs center Tyson Chandler said of the Celtics. Dirk Nowitzki netted 27 points with seven rebounds while Ellis added 14 points for the Mavs. Chandler posted a double-double with 10 points and 12 boards, while Devin Harris managed 12 points. The Mavs shot 53.7 percent from the floor and 56 percent from long range. The Blazers got back on track Tuesday night. They halted a two-game slide with an emphatic statement game, a 101-82 home victory over LeBron James and the Cleveland Cavaliers. Needless to say, it was good to get a win, said Trail Blazers coach Terry Stotts. But more importantly, it was how we got it, how we played. That looked like the team that we need to be. We withstood their barrage in the first quarter, stayed with our schemes and our coverages and the next 3 1/2 quarters, we did a great job defensively. We stuck with the defense and we got rhythm to the offense. It was a solid win at both ends of the court. The Cavs opened the game 10-for-10 from the field, but tailed off offensively. Cleveland never posted 20 points in the remaining three quarters and finished the contest with 13 points over the final 12 minutes. Damian Lillard busted out of his shooting slump with 27 points. He went 6- for-13 from the field, 5-for-10 from long range and 10-for-10 from the foul line. Its the same game that Ive been playing, said Lillard. The only difference was the shots just went in. It was pretty simple: just play the game. I thought we did a great job of moving the ball and everybody defended well. Wes Matthews (21), Robin Lopez (19) and LaMarcus Aldridge (16) finished in double figures. The Blazers also held the fabled James to just 11 points. The Mavs won two of three against the Blazers last season and have captured 10 of the last 15 meetings. Dallas is 12-6 in its last 18 in Rose City. Michael Cooper Lakers Jersey .

And former Maple Leafs coach Ron Wilson certainly knows his pain.

Real Madrids stuttering form has seen them draw four successive games in all competitions and Zinedine Zidane has come in for criticism for his sides lacklustre performances. Watch NOW TV Watch Sky Sports for just ￡6.99. No contract. Cristiano Ronaldo and Karim Benzema have also been questioned in recent weeks but Bale, who has scored three goals so far this season, has been let off any criticism in the press and from the supporters. Bale scored his 50th La Liga in Reals 1-1 draw with Eibar and Gibson, speaking on La Liga Weekly, thinks the Welshman, despite not being at his absolute best, is now an integral part of Real Madrids sideBale has actually been exempt from the criticism, Gisbon said. Gareth Bale scored his 50th goal for Real Madrid in their 1-1 draw against Eibar, we take a look at some of his best goals for Los Blancos. Cristiano Ronaldos had some criticism from the press and the supporters as has Karim Benzema, but Bales performances havent merited any criticism. Shaquille ONeal Lakers Jersey. Hes been okay. I dont think hes been at this best but for me hes another example of one of those players trying to find full fitness after a tough summer.Hes become a really important player for Real Madrid, and rightly so, but I still think theres more to come from Gareth Bale this season. LISTEN: La Liga Weekly Terry Gibson and Jon Driscoll discuss more dropped points for Barca and Real After Reals run of four straight draws Zidanes approach has been called into question and Gibson thinks the Frenchman has made a mistake in recent weeks by starting Alvaro Morata on the bench.People are asking a lot of questions about what Zidane is trying to achieve with Real Madrids identity, Gibson added. I think he made an error last week when he said if Benzema, Bale and Ronaldo are all fit they will always play because thats hard on Alvaro Morata. Real Madrid manager Zinedine Zidane is under pressure after a run of four consecutive draws In my opinion, he deserves a starting spot this season which would allow Benzema the chance to get fully fit and match sharp for the rest of the season. That hasnt happened. Benzema has missed a few games and was rushed straight back into the team, particularly for big games, at the expense of leaving Morata out.Morata himself wasnt great on Sunday and thats because hes probably lost a bit of confidence and momentum. So thats the mistake hes made because he has to build his time around the front three now hes said they will play if fit.You can watch Englands tour of Bangladesh, plus Premier League football and the Japan Grand Prix on Sky Sports.
