Key to the game: Our execution vs the zone. Nothing more, nothing less.

[FJS]

I'm hoping Howard playing this game. His expererience will be needed.
Harris is shooting lately better, raja as well. Then Hayward is streaky, but they should break the zone with their shots.

This exactly.

Dallas is going to ride that zone from tip off til however long it takes the Jazz to break it. If we break it early, we win. If not, we lose. Simple as that.

Haywood 6 blocks per game?)

[Lava Rock Kid]

Gotta lose eventually, this would be the game I think they lose.

Don't bring me down from this high, man...

...Unfortunately I think your right. All the hype surrounding being "2nd in the west" seems like it'll doom us tomorrow night.

[FJS]

Haywood 6 blocks per game?)

My bad, he is 0.9.


Mavs individual leaders numbers aren't impresive...

[FJS]

Let's keep optimism here.
Mavs we'll be playing back to back. Maybe they we'll be playing without Carter, and they are 8-6 playing sloppy.

We have shown we can play slowy, and win without score 100 points. Our defense is good, and they have great players but they aren't playing pretty well.

[Ugly0598]

This is a big test on how we do with the zone, our team has been pretty awful against the zone, and more teams should be doing it to stop us.

[Jazz_Man_86]

i am sure that Corbin thinks the same way and will spend two days of practice to find out answers for the zone.

[Ming Kong!]

Nobody on the team really scares me to be honest. We're playing fantastic defense, even with Dirk lighting it up, we should be fine.

[tatertotsnjuice]

Our bench should dominate theirs. I think Harris will be motivated and should blow past Kidd and break down that zone.

[BJSmiles]

Hey guys, first time long time. Been reading the forum for a while and thought it was time to participate. I love watching this team right now. They are a blast to watch. I really hope they keep up the winning ways and get this young group some playoff experience. Huge props to the coaches, KOC, and the vets for making it work.

This should be a fun game to watch.

[Reckless]

Millsap never ceases to amaze me

[StocktonShorts]

Nobody on the team really scares me to be honest.

I'm always scared of Dirk, especially when the options for guarding him are Millsap and Jefferson.
