Mavs vs Utah Predictions
It's preseason, I know, but anything people want to see happen? Final score predictions? Player stats?
For me, I'd like to see some of the new guys get playing time. A win isn't as important as seeing how some of them will respond. Howard and Welsch mainly.
Of course, I want to see how the starting five (assuming Finley made the trip) play together. And to get a glimpse of Fortson and Raef.

Mavs should win, but clearly Nellie is playing this game like a practice effort. I'm sure the minutes will be spread out.

Hasn't Nellie gone for wins the last 2 preseasons? I hope he thinks differently this time around with all the new additions.
I wouldn't mind seeing some of this...

Mavs vs Utah Predictions
Mavs win, but the game is close. Competition is low. Mavs score in the mid to high 90s.
97-83?
Starting Lineup
Lafrentz 23min 8pts 4rbs 1blk
Najera 26min 21pts 8rbs 1blk
Jamison 26min 14pts 4rbs
Finley 24min 6pts 2rbs
Nash 24min 4pts 4ast 1rbs
Subs
Nowitzki 20min 12pts 3rbs
Fortson 25min 5pts 5rbs
Welsch 16min 8pts 2rbs
TAW 9min 5pts 1rbs
Howard 16min 5pts 3rbs
Daniels 8min 3pts 1rbs
Best 18min 7pts 3ast
NPs
Bradley
Mills
Stefansson? (Daniels)
Edit: october 5th- Finley won't start. That will affect the rest of the roster. TAW, Daniels and Howard all have legitimate chances to start in the SG position. Every smaller player will see more playing time because of it.

I'm annoyed I don't get to see this. Najera will log huge minutes of course. I hope he does well, gives the crowd what they want. I read Finley might not be making the trip, any word on that?
Hmm. Since the Greatest O on Earth might be minus Fin & still trying to gel w/Jamison, we'll say under 100 this time. 98-90 Mavs.
I want to see a huge boards line for Fortson.

RE: Mavs vs Utah Predictions
You won't only see 20,000 Najera's fans there, but 19,000 Mavs fans as well. This is the relevant part of this game, besides the practice.

Why not? It's better than some of the other crap floating out there to talk about.
It's not predictions so much as what we'd like to see. What we expect from the coach to the new players.

RE: Mavs vs Utah Predictions
The game, every game and its result, are the ultimate reason for us to be here, I suppose. The rest is just spice.

Pre-season predictions are pointless.

RE: Mavs vs Utah Predictions
I'm wondering if the season predictions are also pointless. Normally only one or two predictions -if any- are close and the others far or totally wrong.
But maybe what's worth is the prediction about the starters, the matchups, the IL, the tactics...
...and of course...the Chalupa! [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-wink.gif[/img]
BTW, we should consider the chalupa for this game since it's almost a home game.

Certainly the mojos and jinxes are a big plus!
