Final score prediction: Jazz 115 - Mavs 104

I think we completely blow them out. Without Luka, I'm also much less worried about having a 4th quarter collapse and letting them come back. I just don't think the Mavs have enough firepower.

Mavs defense is much better without Luka. First game will be ugly for both teams. 92 to 90.

I think Mitchell will be able to get guys like Brunson, Kleber and Bullock on a switch and get his buckets. He's good when he gets time to rest and prepare.

Until crunchtime/4th quarter anyway.

That was regular season. Forget about that. Jazz about to go off in the clutch in the playoffs.

Game is also before lunch time so I'm a little worried the weird time throws people off.

This series will determine what the Jazz will look like for the next few years. If they lose, many changes are coming. If they lose they might run 90% of this team back.

The horses are there indeed.
Problem is horse alpha1 is tired of no other horses D and horse alpha2 is tired of play 4 on 5 offense because horse aplha1 cannot take a freaking shot or get some points on lesser defenders.

That view might could change under a better coach though.

Jazz are 14-0 with 2+ days of rest and indeed Donovan is really good with 3+ days of rest. Mavs are 8-7 with 2+ days of rest. I feel optimistic now... at least for game 1

I think this goes along with Quin being great when he has lots of time to prepare a game plan. As long as Kidd doesn't have a counter we'll be alright.

Although, I'm not 100% sure Quin isn't already checked out.

Wait, so is this game a MUST WIN?

I think it's a must not collapse in the 4th quarter game. If we have a bad shooting night or they have a great shooting night, that will be easier to come back from. If we lose another big lead in the 4th quarter, I don't think we recover.
