Dallas Mavericks vs Utah Jazz (PreGame Report)

  "The win streak is not significant at all...we got to be getting better", commented Coach Carlisle as the Mavs try to extend their league best win streak to 12-0. Tonight will not be as easy as Thursday against the New Jersey Nets. This will be the Mavs second game against the Jazz in 10 days; beating them on the road the first time. Carlisle expressed how hard it has been for his team to win back-to-back games against winning teams; i.e. Denver and New Orleans as teams they lost to the second time.
  The longest tenured coach in the NBA Jerry Sloan is no dummy. When Royce asked him what will the Jazz have to do to win this game he simply said, "make shots". Even Coach Carlisle said that they have to be ready for Deron Williams and guard him without fouling. Deron, the pride of the Colony, comes back home averaging a double-double with 22pts and 10 assists. His style of play could really hurt the Mavs if he gets the bigs in foul trouble early.
  Will the Jazz be able to do what 11 teams have failed to do the last 11 games, beat the Mavs? They definitely have the talent and the coach. Its gonna be up to the Mavs to hold serve.
