GAME THREAD: Dallas Mavericks at Utah Jazz

WHO: Dallas Mavericks at Utah Jazz

WHAT: The second night of a back to back

WHERE: EnergySolutions Arena, Salt Lake City, Utah

WHEN: 8:00 p.m. CT

HOW: FSSW

THE STORY: I'm not going to lie, y'all: I missed most of the second half of that Blazers game. I took my dog out at halftime, then fell asleep during the third quarter. I woke up with 8 minutes left in the fourth, saw that the Mavs were down 20, sighed heavily, and opted to go to bed instead since I had to get up at 5:15 a.m. to catch a flight from Dallas to Los Angeles. I will miss tonight's game because of being in Los Angeles.

It's Utah. Come on Dallas, I know y'all thrive on me watching, but I just can't always. There are a lot of games after all. Let's be nice to the fans and not embarrass ourselves again. Let's go.
