NBA Basketball Sports Betting - Mav’s Championship Chances Went Down with Dirk

My first thought when I heard early yesterday morning that Dirk Nowitzki had gone down with season ending knee and ankle injuries, was that the Dallas Mavericks were done in the Western Conference.

Then, I studied the standings, I took a look at the schedules, I ran the scenarios over in my mind over and over again. Maybe, Jason Kidd will find an outside shot. Maybe, the rest of the Mavs, led by scorers Jason Terry and Josh Howard, will prove how good they actually are. Maybe, Avery Johnson, the Maverick’s terrific coach, will fire up his veteran team – and will get them excited about the coming challenge.

Then, I looked at the schedules again. I studied the rest of the teams in the Western Conference. I thought about how good the Mavericks actually were with Dirk in the line-up.
