This is a must win game. Sure they are the mavs and they have a good roster, but they aren't playing pretty well, and Dirk is not 100%.
It's a home game before a road trip, so it's better for us at least to be at 50% before entering the trip.

No chance whatsoever at winning this game.

Cuban went off about the reffing in the nba after their last game. Top story on ESPN.

The NBA will want stories like this to die, so the calls will be very one sided in Dallas's favor. Sucks that it has to happen against us.

Really need this one...

Whoever cut Hayward's hair should turn in their shears.

Was just thinking the same thing.

ugh. we should be leading by 20 right about now.

What a difference it makes when guys move to the side of the floor where Al is. Hayward knocks down that three with 2:12 to go because he slides over where Al can pass it to him.

Glad Corbin is giving Burks minutes. 2/7 aint pretty, but he got a big shot, 7fts in 21 minutes, 4rebs, 1stl, and 1blk. Solid for a kid who has had very little opportunity this season.

Hayward is the total package, with his length, shooting, athleticism, great shot blocking, etc... if he could only be this aggressive and confident on a nightly basis though. Still, a nice 7 game stretch here for him.

hell yeah, one of the best games of the season right there

Big Al was sluggish offensively to start, but he made a couple of big plays in the fourth. The man is clutch.

that's all i kept thinkin after he knocked down that 15 foot contested jumper with a minute left. not a lot of guys can do that.

Yeah, I was frustrated with Corbin's decision to have Big Al out there instead of Kanter who was playing much better, but Al Jefferson proved me wrong. Also, I can't believe that stat, 86% FT shooting! That's good for 21st in the NBA, and 1st amongst centers and PF's!

Great win

Beautiful win. The Jazz punched the Mavs in the mouth in this game and the Mavs folded hard.

Surprised he's had enough attempts to qualify for the leader board.

Took Corbin long enough to figure out that the Foye-Burks-Hayward lineup is the best option on both ends of the floor without Mo. Now let's make it the starting backcourt, shall we? Gordon needs to be the main creator on the floor for the Jazz and play over 30 minutes every night, enough with the nonsense about him coming off the bench.

Loved Kanter's energy as well, looked like he had an extra bounce tonight, although playing against a decidedly unathletic frontline certainly helped him. He's been playing the right way as of late and his mobility is becoming a nice defensive asset despite him not being a shot blocker. Too bad the big man logjam prevents him from seeing extended minutes, I'd like to see him get more confident with his jumpshot and maybe try out a couple of different moves.
