Is Deshawn Stevenson their starting 2 Guard??? I really do not miss him at all.

BIG game, two streaking teams.

I predict a Jazz LOSS

Hayward and Fes look like the undead. Those two are so white they glow.

And Dirk looks like a tranny.

Pretty even match up. Dirk shooting over the top of Millsap maybe an issue. DWILL has foot speed advantage on Kidd and needs to have a big game. The Jazz at home need to win this game if they are going to get number one seed. Every game counts by the end of the year.

If we win this we will be number two in the West, and could potentially be tied with the Spurs (although they will have a better percentage we will be tied record-wise) for the number 1 spot in the league.

Dallas is a hot team, winning this could go a long ways to continuing to boost our confidence.

Because of that I think it's appropriate..... I believe!!!

I think Chandler is a big addition for them this year. If Sap and Big Al keep sharing the ball really well, I think we have a chance.

I just worry we will settle for jump shots instead of working the ball inside. I think we win Jazz by 6

This would be a huge win, but Dallas poses problems that LA and New Orleans don't. I think we will see a lot of AK guarding Dirk (he usually does really well). I would like to see Deron guard Stevenson so he can conserve his energy and offer some nice help D.

When the Jazz are winning this game, I wanna see some of you guys that get to go break out the "wings"

Yeah Chandler has been a good addition to this squad

Gotta win this game. I'll have to DVR it unfortunately, but should be a good game. I think we always match up pretty well against the Mavericks, we tend to piss off Dirk when he is here.

Place will be rockin! GO Jazz! Play oue brand of basketball and we can beat anybody in this league. Right now our brand of basketball is 1 game away from being the best in the league!

i think we'll win. For some reason, ive never ever been that scared of facing Dallas. Williams is gonna dominate Kidd.

I still have nightmares about Popeye Jones' lay-up to complete their first round comeback win. The last throes of the contending era of John and Karl.

... but, in recent years, yeah. They're a very good team, but they don't put fear into me.

Two hottest teams in the NBA, this is exciting to host this game..i hope we can protect the home court, they are a good road team so it won't be easy.

I think the Jazz will do well against the Mavs. AK guarding Dirk will be fun to watch.

He knows now that some of the harsh things that happened when he was a first-round pick as a teenager for Utah worked out for the best.

"Playing with Jerry Sloan – Jerry's a strict coach and we had our ups and downs, but I think he made me stronger as a player," Stevenson said. "I try not to get mad about certain situations now.

"He [Sloan] was tough, but he made me who I am now. If I didn't go through that kind of system and that caliber of coach, I wouldn't be in the NBA right now."

Every ex-Jazz man says awesome things about Coach Sloan. It says a lot about how he develops young talent.

Booth! That's right. I'm clearly trying to repress the memory.
