Game 56: Mavs at Spurs

Ah, baseball makes me want to "get back in the game" as they would say.

Dirk has dropped on his ppg. With Terry out, I find it hard to say the Mavs are going to do well in this game. The Mavs (33-22) are now tied with the Hornets.

The Spurs are 4-3 in their last seven games. They have won their last two. Manu Ginobili is out with an injury and should be out at least another week, maybe two. I replaced Ginobili's stats with Michael Finley.

Forecast: Well, the loss of Terry is bad and the loss of Ginobili is bad for the Spurs. I think the Spurs have more depth. The Mavericks have played well without Terry... still, I am thinking the Spurs in this one. Score: 94-90.

With Duncan being out tonight... well, that changes things. Mavs win this one 98-91.

Well, I missed this one by a great deal. Who would have thought that without Ginobili and Duncan, the Spurs would still do that kind of damage?
