Game 27: Dallas Mavericks (10-16) vs. Utah Jazz (9-15)

[michaeltex]

Frustrated by Mavs leaving size on the bench at the end and during OT. Lauri and Filipowski where just too much. Gafford only got 13 minutes (I realize he's dealing with the ankle thing) but neither Cisse or Powell were out there at the end or in OT. Felt like there was no rim protection or rebounding help.

Happy to see Flagg put on a show, but it felt like the rest of the team couldn't respond similarly. Shades of Luka?

They must have AD packaged in 3 layers of bubble wrap. Plays several games where you see him hit the floor multiple times each game, but a collision with a teammate gives him a calf bruise he can't play through? I guess if it keeps him from over compensating and creating an Achilles problem...

Oh well, SLC has always been a place for weird games as far as DAL is concerned. Hope the win screws up Ainge's lottery odds.
