I'm not sure if I'm quite as optimistic to think that we'll win by 15 in Big D, but I think that we pull out a 6-8 pt win. Deron can (and likely will) light up Kidd, AK needs to lock down Howard, and either Boozer or Okur need to go after Dampier and get him in foul trouble early. As long as their role players (Terry, Stack) don't go bonkers and score 20, I think that our newly found commitment to D, our bench, their lack of interior presence and the confidence we have right now leads to another impressive win.

I am cautious about this game. This is still the same Jazz team that went in and blew out Boston then got bombed New Jersey.
If the Jazz do win I think it will be a real turning point in the season, but that is because it would be an oddity and not the norm.
If the Jazz continue their strong defense the Jazz should win this game easily. If the Jazz don't play Jazz basketball we have no chance.

Trap game. Jazz should beat them, but Dallas is making a comeback. We will have to employ Kirilenko Boozer defense at times to keep Dirk cold during the wanning moments. I hear they have been playing defense, but it is the Jazz, and the better offense should win.

I look to see Ronnie Price on Terry for quite a bit this game. Unless Ronnie B gets it going against Terry on the offensive end.

The Jazz take this one. We'll keep them from scoring over 90 points.

lets keep these guys under 70
ok i may be asking for a bit to much but just a win here so maybe we can finish off our final 6, 5-1.
Go Jazz, lets get us our Homecourt in the first round

This is gonna be a tough game. A really tough game. I think that if we can play the defense that we saw against New Orleans and San Antonio than we easially have this game. If not than I'm not so sure.

Man that Mavericks team looks really good on paper.
Just think...most of these power house teams in the west are getting old and our guys are really young. We could dominate for years to come if everyone stays together.

Well I'm hoping for some deja vu... Hopefully Kidd does what he did last Sunday and play great defence on Deron like he did on Nash. They did a pretty nice job on the pick and roll with Amare (especially in the second half). Best I've seen it against Phoenix ever! We have struggled to defend the P&R in past games against you guys...
Good luck! Maybe we'll met again in the playoffs!

well this win would not only have the jazz take the season series 3-1 vs. mavs but it would go a long way in giving the jazz homecourt in the 1st
i'm not so confident though, mavs have been playing great ball as of late

This game should have been on TNT, what a horrible decision to put the Laker/Clipper game as the night cap.

There is more people in LA than the state of Utah, and Dallas combined. Money matters.
But I will retract from it, that is if Clippers beat the Lakers. I am starting to think that 4th seed is not enough. We have a shot at the first seed.

Very slim chance. We need a lot of help. Im satisfied with getting the 4th seed and HC over the Rockets or Suns then a potential Hornets matchup in round 2. I dont want any of the spurs or lakers in round 2. Not saying I dont think we could win. Im Just saying what my preference would be.

Jazz SHOULD be able to win this, with the way they've been playing lately. It all depends on which Jazz team shows up. That's the only thing I hate about this team. Will it be the team that dominated SA last week or the team that dropped TWO to the twolves...
