to take UTAH
Despite the thought out there that this is a revenge game, and Utah doesn't have the inside presence to hurt Dallas, I'm thinking Dallas may not matchup well with Utah. Utah playing better D and with a smaller lineup of their own, may keep Dallas as a perimeter team with that run and gun. The Mavs have been making every shot over the last 5 games and I think Coach Sloan, with a few days off, will come up with something more to bring that shooting percentage down. Utah has played very well on the road against the better talented teams this year and against high scoring teams. Utah may try to control the tempo a bit here and also is a better rebounding team. I'm hoping they let Dallas shoot away and don't start hacking away as Dallas is awesome from the line. Revenge IMO is more for the college game. Nellie letting his guys run wild again. I'll put my money on a determined Sloan to keep it close as he really wants to expose this young team to some playoff action this year against a one dimensional, but talented as all hell, Dallas team.
