Two years ago, the Mavs were in the NBA Finals, losing to the Miami Heat. Dallas was heavy favorites to win the championship following an incredible 67-15 regular season in 2006-07, but then came a shocking first-round loss to Golden State in the playoffs. Last year, it was the same song and dance...another first-round ousting, this time to New Orlean |

OUTLOOK: The Jazz are a solid team that must find a way to win on the road to take the next step. Over the last two seasons, only Dallas Mavericks (70-12) has a better home record than the Jazz who are a gaudy 68-14 at EnergySolutions Arena. Away from Salt Lake City, the Jazz are just 37-45. As Williams continues to mature you have to expect that number to improve but it looks as if Utah might |

| Indianapolis, IN (Best E Casino) - Eddie Jones, who was acquired by the Indiana Pacers in last week's deal that sent forward Shawne Williams to the Dallas Mavericks, is apparently thinking retirement. Jones will not join the Pacers this season, instead working out a deal for less money than he was supposed to make for the upcoming season.
