I'm a Dallas Mavericks Fan

Tonight, Chandler and I went to our first Mavs playoff game. We had to win after losing a third consecutive game to the Nuggets. Down 3-0 we had nothing to lose and we played like it tonight.

The crowd was loud after every bucket and even louder after every questionable call from the refs. The third quarter may have been the worst officiated quarter I've ever seen. Dirk continued to step up in the big game as he scored a game high 44 points. The problem with the Mavs is that they depend on Dirk too much. Dallas has to have Dirk score 40 in every game to win this series.

The Nuggets are a bunch of thugs ,but I will say though that Carmelo Anthony was brilliant at times tonight. He drove the ball to the basket as good as anybody has this year. The Mavs had the lead up to eight in the fourth quarter but it was quickly cut to three after two quick Denver buckets.

Nevertheless, free throws sealed the deal and gave the Mavs their first win of the Western Conference Semis. If the Mavs continue to play like they did tonight, they have a chance to become the first team to come back to win a playoff series after trailing 3-0. But let's get real; this series is over. The Nuggets are too good to lose four straight games.

My Prediction: Nuggets in 6 over the Mavs
