Dallas Forward Nowitzki May Opt Out of Current Deal

There are rumors circulating that Dallas all-star forward Dirk Nowitzki may opt out of his current deal and become a free agent. I can't really blame Nowitzki for wanting to do this. He's just trying to explore his options. Nowitzki has been with this team for many years and has accomplished a lot. As a member of the Mavericks, he led this team to a winning record and the playoffs as well. I believe that when it is all said and done, he will remain a member of the Dallas Mavericks.

Arizona Immigration Law Is Causing Outrage

People overall appear to be unhappy with the Arizona Immigration Law. There is a protest scheduled later on in Phoenix today. The Reverend Al Sharpton, along with other opponents of this law, are scheduled to peacefully march in a protest rally. This law gives police the right to stop anyone they feel is here in the U.S. illegally. This law is controversial because it opens up the door to racial profiling. When it is all said and done, I think that this law will eventually be revised.

Bulls Fire Their Head Coach

The Bulls decided to fire their head coach Vinny Del Negro. Despite the fact that he took this team to the playoffs, the Bulls organization thought it was best to go in another direction. Personally, I don't think he should have been fired. He took a team that looks like it is in the rebuilding process to the playoffs. This team, under the leadership of Del Negro, competed very hard in the playoffs even though even they were over matched against their opponents the Cavaliers. The referees also screwed the Bulls with some questionable foul calls. Even though the Bulls had some bad calls go against them, they still played their hearts out during this season. The Bulls organization may live to regret this decision.

Spurs beat Mavs and Advance On

During Thursday night's game, the San Antonio Spurs defeated the Dallas Mavericks 97-87. Both teams put forth a great effort, but it the end, it will be the Spurs advancing to the next round. They will play the Phoenix Suns. These two teams from Texas are definitely rivals to say the least. The Spurs started off scoring at will. They were ahead at one point by a large margin. To complicate things even further, the Mavs star player, Dirk Nowitzki had four fouls in the first half. Luckily for the Mavs, they got a huge contribution from a player from Rodrique Baubois. Honestly, prior to this game, I didn't even know the guy existed. Unfortunately for the Mavs, his scoring wasn't enough and they lost to the Spurs. Whenever these two teams play one another, they always put on a great show for us. The next time these two teams play each other, I'm quite certain they will continue to bring their best on the court.
