We clinch tonite - gotta beleive

Dirk is 40-27 lifetime against the jazz. He averages 25 ppgs and has shot 73/154 (.474) on 3pt shots when he wins.

When the Mavs lose to the Jazz Dirk averages 21 ppg and shoots about 0.304 from 3pt.

Watch what the wiley rook Lyles does to Dirk. What he did last time out was masterful. Jazz need to make Dirk a Kanter-like mismatch on defense.

I hope so. That is the match-up I was concerned with. Carlise will go right at the weakest part of the defense, just like Denver tried. Lyles has to be ready to play defense, and hope is offense is on too.

Luckily I don't think dirk is really that hard to defend. I know that sounds dumb but really I think with dirk it often comes down to whether he is hot or cold on that particular night.
He doesn't really overpower you. He doesn't beat you with quickness or athleticism.
Lyles just needs to stay near him (no helping away from dirk), stay in between him and the hoop, and get a hand up/in his face. And don't go for pump fakes and give him easy ones at the line.
And make dirk work at the other end.
