Mavs have a good chance to make the playoffs with their schedule in these remaining weeks. Here's my prediction.

Apr 2 vs Golden State -- Mavs win with Dirks return 117-111
Apr 4 at LA Lakers -- Mavs lose a close one again 100-98
Apr 6 at Phoenix -- Mavs win in a Dirk-Amare shootout 114-110
Apr 8 vs Seattle -- Mavs destroy the Sonics 102-82
Apr 10 vs Utah -- Mavs win when Kidd gets his first and only triple double of the season 94-88
Apr 12 at Portland -- Mavs win 106-86
Apr 13 at Seattle -- Mavs win 99-81
Apr 16 vs New Orleans -- Mavs lose, but it doesn't matter, they have already clinched the 8th playoff spot 105-91

I agree with the outcome, just not the process.

I would be surprised if the Mavs win some of the games you think they will, but I do hope Kidd gets that 100th triple double here pretty soon... Ill say our record for the rest of the season is 5-3 because I can see the Mavs stumbling against a team like the W's again, but I have faith that we will beat New Orleans in the last game of the season, not like it will make too much difference though

dfp, they go 4-4 - Mark it!

Dirk coming back has Mavs playing at a different level. Plus, Dirk is rested with that knee injury. Perfect timing for the playoff stretch.

I see the Mavs playing the Spurs in the 1st round. That's got me pumped up. I love it. Although with the Mavs luck they'll probably end up playing the Hornets or the Jazz. Those are the only two teams I wouldn't want to play. Those two point guards, Deron and CP are tough competition. They will replace Nash in the all star game next year.
