Whatever happened to those nice black or white or gray shoes?

[DallasMaverick]

Just need to "hold" them to 30 points per quarter.

[mtrot]

The big question is, how many lamentations will there be tonight about not being able to get Lauri on the Mavs?!

[DrMav]

Ah yes, another chance to beat the bad city and bring those happy memories of last years playoffs. Must win game.

[The Jom]

Jazz out of tune. Mavs put it away in the third.

[DallasMaverick]

Dallas up by 3, and the ESPN app says there's a 83.8% chance they win the game.  Crazy.

[RoyTarpleysGhost]

THJ on fire

Lukas guy can get an open 3 every possession.

[DallasMaverick]

Timmy for president.

[RoyTarpleysGhost]

Holiday and Frank are incredibly bad. Green needs to find his mojo again. Maybe consider giving Hardy some minutes.

[DallasMaverick]

Held them to only 28 in the 2nd quarter!

[Chicagojk]

Tough team to watch tonight against a depleted Jazz team.  Mavs got sloppy and let the Jazz back in the game.

I hope Luka is dinged.  He is moving like 40 year old Dirk out there.

[donzingis38]

I love you, Luka but.. you're starting to really annoy me.

[Chicagojk]

I know our defense sucks but the Frank, holiday, Powell and green lineups are tough to watch.

Green is in a funk.  Since he was taken out of the sterling lineup he looks to be playing rushed again.  Hope he plays through it.

[HoosierDaddyKid]

Philly took out Minny 114-94. Mavs need to win to jump to the 6 hole.

[DallasMaverick]

Did Bullock get hurt?  

Only 8 minutes so far.

[KillerLeft]

Seems like THJ has discovered a way to be effective off the bench. That's an interesting development. Need to get him more shots. 

I keep reading negative comments about Holiday...maybe it's just that my expectations were lower than others', but I am constantly impressed by what he is able to contribute out there, personally. 

Kleber is starting to knock the rust off and make a difference. 

Green showing signs of waking up. This little slump of his is the biggest issue with the post all star break team, imo, so that's a welcome sign.

[speedkilz88]

That was a pretty obvious charge.  Shoulder

[KillerLeft]

7 threes. I wonder if some teams are kicking themselves tonight for not pulling the trigger on that Wood/Hardaway package? 

I'm kind of glad the Mavs couldn't get that one done. I guess it's hard to tell without knowing what they were after...

[SwisherPrice]

Mavs defense is just terrible. Not all of it has to do with players though, the coaching and scheme are not good. Why is the defense playing so tight on THT when he's not a good 3-pt shooter? They've been playing him aggressively all game and he's driving to the rim easily instead of playing off him.
