April 7th- Mavericks Vs. Spurs

This is one of the last games for the Mavericks in the regular season and could be a very important one to determine the playoff position for Dallas. The Spurs will again be one of the top teams in the West this season so their spot will be nearly solidified by this time.

The Mavs and Spurs will be rivals as long as the two franchises are around, but this game could be extra sweet for Dallas. Aside from the obvious years of fighting for position back and forth, this game could be the most exciting of all.

Dirk Nowitzki is only 1,928 points behind Shaquille O’Neal on the NBA All-Time Scoring List. With his season average where it is and the amount of games he is expected to play, this is right around the time that Dirk could move into the top 5 on the All-Time Scoring List.

If Dirk could do this at home against our biggest rivals, it would be one of the biggest moments in Mavericks history. Hopefully this is the game we are all looking forward to.

Needless to say, every Mavs game has the potential to excite and energize a crowd in a matter of seconds. Dallas is sure to have many fun games and an exciting season with the new personnel but, for me, these will be the games fans will want to clear the schedule for.
