Mavericks vs Pacers 3/4/11

As we inch closer to the playoffs I've been keeping up with others thoughts on how the Mavs will fare in the playoffs and I gota be honest, I find their lack of faith disturbing. I have even seen some polls that had them out of the top five saying that Dallas are like droids programmed to disappoint, but if I were the other teams the Mavericks are not the droids I'd be looking for. It's a trap if people aren't taking this team serious, the seven game slump aside the Mavs could easily be in first. And to all the fans who say its impossible to catch the Spurs or beat the Lakers in the playoffs take this into consideration. It's not impossible we used to bullseye teams back home, they're not much bigger than top seeded teams. That being said this team is notorious for letting us down in the playoffs so in the end if the Mavs are out of the race remember that's no moon, just a big zero in the championship column.

Side Notes
- Nowitzki scored 29 points going 10/12 shooting.
- Kidd tied Gary Payton for third on the NBA career steals list (2,445)
