Let’s go, Mavs!

Not feeling too good about this one, lol.

Good luck, Mavs fans! Hoping for a good game.

I think the Jazz are going to be throwing haymakers in the first few minutes. Mavs need to weather the storm and come out with force. I could see it going similarly to game 4

I think we'll do better if Mitchell doesn't play.. It has no sense, but probably the other guys will be more focused.

Prediction time!
The Jazz will hang around to start the game but the Mavs will eventually beat them quite handedly.
Mavs 117 - 102 Jazz

Yeah count me with those thinking Utah is going to come out hard in the 1st and if Dallas can weather that, Dallas should ultimately pull away and close it out. And if at any point in the 2nd half Dallas can get a 12-15 point lead, I think Utah might just pack it in.

I've seen enough to believe Dallas has the edge in this matchup, but Utah has enough talent and a really tough home court to get us to a game 7 for sure.

Really want to end it Thursday though.

Utah can’t play as bad as they have again tomorrow...so dallas in 7-

Congrats Mavs! On to round 2.

Got it in the bag.

Let’s play a game 7 for fun!

Glad Mitchell is okay enough to play. The way he left the court certainly left questions. Hamstrings can be tricky though so something to keep an eye on. Also impressed with him in press conferences repeatedly giving credit to the Dallas defense, specifically Finney-Smith. And worth noting only Embiid has defended more shots this playoff and opponents are shooting under 40% when defended by Doe Doe, and of course he always has the toughest assignment so he's not getting these numbers against House or Conley or O'Neale. This has been mostly Spida with some Bogdan and some Gobert.

Going to be a crime if he doesn't make an all-defense team

It's really hard to understand Hawks fans. You're supposedly super happy with Trae, but are constantly in Mavs threads.

Mavs might lose the game, but for sure not because of your jinx.

No of course not. It’s not like you used to do this in the other town or anything. Never, now your Mr. Do right. All this time you thought jinxes worked?

Btw the old town, you up and left, what happened. Not that we want you back or anything.

I don't know much, but there's one thing I know for sure, Trae will still be small next year. But hey, you might try putting reverse jinx on Trae and he might become bigger.

Trae should join the Luka summer fit club led by, you guessed it, Luka. Hammer curl some leg of lamb.. you know what I’m classier than this, we could go all day. Point is I didn’t go out of my way and sign up for an all Mavs board bro, that was a reach on your part.

Sorry, but Luka was in the win-the-pre-olympic-tournament-while-being-a-fu**ing-legend-and-go-on-do-to-the-same-at-the-olympics-Club. To make it clear: if you don`t have anything reliable to write about the series: stay away.

The result of game 5 will simply have no influence on game 6. Dallas lost 11 straight games in Utah prior to game 3.
I think it is fair to say that a game 7 might as well happen.

Stay away huh… I’ll listen to what you say I just may.

Alright I think Luka and the Mavs can pull this out!

Like others have said, Utah will come out strong and it comes down to the Mavs being able to bring the same intensity. I think they will since defense is their motto. Luka will be able to hold up the offense enough for a win.
