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.

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.

Mavericks defeat Suns

The Mavericks got a win over the Suns. At times the game was close, but in the end, the Mavs were able to hold on for the win. Caron Butler, the Mavs new addition, played well and contributed with 14 pts. With him on the team, Dallas can handle any Western Conference team. What was the Wizards loss is the Maverick's gain.

Phoenix vs Dallas Preview

Tonight the Phoenix Suns play against the Dallas Mavericks. It will be the home debut for Mavs forward Caron Butler. He is a great addition to Dallas. I predict Butler will have a great game tonight. This guy can score, rebound and defend. The Mavericks hit the jackpot by acquiring Caron. Since the Mavs are playing at home, I predict that they will win tonight.
