Dallas Mavericks @ Utah Jazz GAME THREAD (Airing on TNT, January 19th, 2012 - 8:30 pm Utah time)

[Saint Cy of JFC]

well,from now on,,i hate TNT,if we wire it,would it blow?

The game is usually over by the 2nd one starts, but in the not too rare cases of excessive end game fouling or OT, it can really suck.

 

[aybars]

Alright, bring on the Mavs!

Got a Subway sub this time, cream of potato soup, bottle of Fanta, my trusty laptop to slyly watch the game on, and a 3 hour graduate level Childhood Development course. Shaping up to be a good evening. I predict Jazz win by 17 and Evans dunks over Odom, taking off just inside the FT line.

no fettucini di basilica SODA tonight?

The Analysis


Who to watch on the Mavericks:
Mahinmi: Ian Mahinmi is having a great year shooting 65%. He gets all his shots inside. Keep him out of the paint.

Odom: The famous Jazz-killer. He's having a horrible year, don't let him get off.

Who to watch on the Jazz:
Millsap and Favors

Forecast

The numbers project a L

I (my heart and mind) project a W

Go Jazz!

Wow, what kinda crazy racist are u?

This totally teh nuts!

 

[squareinthecircle]

Let's see if we get off to a hot start again.

TNT is my mortal enemy.

 

[Thee Idiotic Minivan K]

I blame Kobe and Labron.

 

[Stoked]

I just feel an excitement for each Jazz game now that I have not felt for a while. They are so much funner to watch now.

 

[Stoked]

SHUT UP TNT. I do not care what Lebron says. Go to Radium Stadium already. Appease me!

 

[billyshelby]

I'm trying not to have a bad feeling about this game. Tired Mavs on back to back after OT game, us playing well, home game. It smells like a win, but I don't trust it. I think the key is remembering that if the Mavs get up, we can get to them over the second half with depth and fresh legs. The guy that scares me is Odom. He's been playing god awful but he always kills us.

 

[Stoked]

Yeah Mr. Khloe Kardashian has a history against Utah but this really is a new team. Almost all new players, new coach...hopefully they come out going for the throat and never let up.

 

[bluenote]

Primus the soundtrack for an NBA ad? Yes! Where did that come from?

 

[Stoked]

Is the TNT feed catching for a fraction of a second every few seconds for anyone else? It is annoying the hell out of me.

 

[homertone]

Two passes from Hayward for scores..

You watching on cable or online?

You watching on cable or online?

Cable. just barely a hicup but I catch it everytime.

 

[homertone]

This team would be scary if instead of Raja we had a 3 point specialist.. With these bigs, guys like Devin, Hayward, and Raja often get wide open threes..

And as I write it Devin clanks a wide open one..

 

[Dr. Jones]

Heaven, quick, call your boy and tell him to hit.

 

[homertone]

Phew.. shooting is looking ugly.. reminding me of the first week or so..
