Safe to say that Dallas will be ready for the Grizz this time around. The key will be to keep the starters out of foul trouble.

Lets see if we can snatch another win from the mavs but playing in dallas makes it very hard to get. IF we te grizzs win that one i would start to believe in playoffs.

It was a shock that the Grizz won the last matchup vs. the Mavs a couple of weeks back. Like GGF said, the Mavs will look to not gettin played twice in a row by the Grizz. The Grizz need to start off strong on both ends. Let Dirk take the load on his shoulders. Isolate his teammates from him and make JT work for his shots.

I really don't see how beating the Mavs is such a shock. They beat them twice last season.

The Mavs are good, but not scary. Outside of Dirk, they don't provide any matchup problems for us. I do worry about their bench (if Howard and Terry are both coming off the bench), but everyone's bench is better than ours and we've found ways to win.

Last year's two wins were shocking considering make up of the team. Before the first match against the Grizz, the Mavs won 7 out of 10 games. So they were playing pretty solid bball. To lose by 16pts to the Grizz the way they did is the worst loss they suffered this season. With this match coming up, the Mavs will do their best to play up to par. The Grizz will need to continue to play aggressively on both ends of the floor and slow the Mavs offensive flow to collect another win and get closer to .500.

This will be a tough one. I don't expect a win, but they're not invincible at home (10-5) and anything can happen.

Grizzlies going to have their hands full with Dirk. If they can slow him down some and contain everyone else, they'll be in the game.

Bad last minutes. many TO, bad FT%, bad shots selection, Gay played with pain in the ankle, Gasol in the bench till 2:12 to go, Big caos that could be solved with a timeout and some changes in the line-up.

Terry killed us, he gave energy to the mavs and some threes and steals in crucial moments...
