Dirk's house doesn't have windows

[oldeagle]

Given that he is 29 and Howard is 27, Nowitzki refuses to approach this season as the Mavs' last chance at a title.

"Everybody keeps talking that the window is closing,'' he said. "I don't look at any windows really. I see this year as our year, and if we don't make it this year, we'll go from there. We'll look at that window again next year, so I don't look past this year -- this is what we're working on for so long, and hopefully we can get better from month to month.

"I think last year we peaked a little early, and once the playoffs came, we weren't on top of our games anymore. So hopefully we'll get better, get better, and be the best team we can be in the playoffs. Hopefully we'll be all right.''

Theres still a good 3-5 years left of Nowitzki and Howard before it really starts closing, and even then, Harris will be able to carry the weight (hopefully)
