Awesome gamethread!!

Best first half performance gives Mavs an early lead, but Jazz storms back in the 2nd half to tie the game with 1 min left until Dirk hits a buzzer beater for a huge win at Energy Solutions Arena!

GO MAVS!!!

Hopefully Dirk will catch fire again.. Mavs could really go far with a win here on the road. I think the bench will play a vital role tonight as I expect the Jazz to flop a lot and get calls at home like they always do. Staying out of foul trouble and bench production are gonna have to be key points tonight.

Im excited for this one because this one will tell us if we made the right decision between throwing big money at al jefferson or making the trade for tyson chandler. So far Chandler is our best center weve had in the past decade. All im asking form him is to stay healthy.

Favored to win: Utah by 4 points.

Referees:
Monty McCutchen - Dallas has won his last 9 of 10.
Rodney Mott - Dallas has won his last 8 of 10.
Tommy Nunez Jr. - Dallas has won his last 6 of 10. Utah has won his last 8 of 10.

San Antonio 15 3 .833 --
Dallas 14 4 .778 1.0
New Orleans 13 5 .722 2.0

should be a great game! hope the mavs can keep their streak and blow Utah's.

Keys:
dirk and kidd are well rested and should come up big tonight.
marion, stevenson, and chandler should keep playing well.
butler and terry need to drive the ball if they can't find their jumpshot.
barea should not be a hero.

i dont remember the last time we won in utah, officiating is always terrible too, especially once the crowd gets raucous

Should be a great game, don't expect to win in Utah, but hoping. Deron Williams and cj miles both Dallas guys. If it's close at the end thou the mavs could steal it.

I just hope AK47 doesn't get away with one of his vintage flops on DIRK tonight.

if we win any game, we must win this one lol, i kno a jazz fan an he wont let me live this one down if jazz win.

boy the wolves are such chokers. blowing big leads to SA at the 4th. 2games now given to SA.

haywood with 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 and 1 foul in 12 mins.

right now... fesenko > haywood

weird game thus far, neither teams looked good for extended periods and neither dirk or williams has been able to impose their will on this game.

fresenko playing well was annoying, as is utah bitching whenever they dont score

Looks like a Mavs playoff game. DIRK's teammates all folding.

DIRK with only 8 shots at halftime and shooting 62.5%

Rest of Dallas shooting 39.3%.

Dirks gotta get aggresive and stop passing to JET. Utah plays to good defense for JET to be any good.


I can't believe how often they went to Marion. It didn't work.


I don't expect to win.

anyone notice how the lil momentum we had, just came to a screaching halt soon as barea came in. lol

we need a true SQ bad, id take JR. Smith right now, ship out barea and just let Jet run back up PG if we cant find a second..

Does any team consistently get more calls at home more than the Utah jazz? Whas up with that? Jerry Sloan the reason?


Mavs came to play in the 3rd.
