The Dallas Mavericks

        The Dallas Mavericks

     The Dallas Mavericks are on a roll in the playoffs. So far in the first round the Mavericks defeated the Portland Trailblazers and moved on to the second round. In the second round the Mavericks faced the 2 time defending champions the Los Angeles Lakers. Coming in to the round they were considered underdogs and people thought that they would be swept. But the shoe was on the wrong foot, the Mavericks swept the Lakers in the second round and moved on to the Western Conference Finals. Before they could play the next team the had to wait for either the Memphis Grizzlies to win or the Oklahoma City Thunder to win. That series was one of the longest in the playoffs so far. The Mavericks had about a 9 day rest until they could face one of the youngest team in the league the Oklahoma City Thunder. So can the old Dallas Mavericks beat the fast and young Oklahoma City Thunder.

       It was a long but gruesome game but the Dallas Mavericks managed to prevail and take game 1 of the Western Conference Finals. The game did not come easy for the Dallas Mavericks but veterans Jason Kidd, Jason Terry and, Dirk Nowitzki managed to seal the deal. Dirk Nowitzki one of the veterans of the Dallas Mavericks is a powerful power forward that is an amazing jump shooter. Jason Terry is a great off the bench shooting guard who put up a staggering amount of 3 pointers in the fourth and final game against the Los Angeles Lakers. Jason Kidd another Dallas Mavericks veteran is a slow but yet intelligent point guard who can explode with the ball at any given minute. But, those are not the only Dallas Mavericks there is Peja Stojakovic is another amazing 3 point shooter. There is also Tyson Chandler who is a strong and determined center. So there you go, as you can see the veteran Dallas Mavericks are a determined and intelligent team who in my opinion might win the NBA Championship. But it will not be an easy road for them, will they prevail over the Oklahoma City Thunder and either win over the Miami Heat or Chicago Bulls.
