Tony Writing Four

Dallas Mavericks will make the playoff this year. The sports media are saying that the Mavericks will not make the playoffs because they have some hard teams to play at the end of the regular season. If they keep playing at the rate that there playing at now, they wouldn’t have a problem getting into the playoffs.

When Dirk Nowitzki, got hurt everyone thought that he injury will stop them from going to the playoffs. Nowitzki had twisted his ankle and the media were saying that he was going to be out for the rest of the season. Everybody was wondering how they were going to win without Nowitzki, but in the first game Nowitzki was gone they won and in the second game they lost. I guess Nowitzki saw that his team needed him, so he tried to come back the next game against the LA Lakers. They lost that game, but it was a good game. They had the Suns up next, and they needed to win that game.

When the Dallas Mavericks played the Suns, they are one the best teams in the league. This was Nowitzki’s second game back from being hurt, but for a man who was just hurt, he somehow came to play that night. Nowitzki had 32 points that night to lead his team to a win against the Suns. Everyone on the sports channels were talking about how they were going to lose that night. Now Dallas has come back to show them that they are not ready to go home yet.

The Mavericks had to win five of the next nine games in order to be in the playoffs. They have already won three of the games and now they have two more games to win so they will be in the playoffs. The rest of their games they have to play some teams that have been playing very well this year, but I still see them winning two or more of their last games.

The Mavericks have been in a run with the Warriors and Nuggets for the 8th playoff spot. Right now, they are in a good position for the number 7th spot. As long as Jason Kidd, Josh Howard, and Nowitzki keep playing the way they are playing right now, they will be ready when it comes for the playoffs. If they get in the playoffs, they will be a hard team to beat because they didn’t have a good season and they didn’t have Jason Kidd until almost at the end of season. It would be difficult to stop all three of them, and say that they will end up winning the whole thing. At the end of the playoffs, The Dallas Mavericks will the 2007-2008 champions.
