The Mavericks are great team towards the end of the season. However, to win it all, it's going to be a very tough task. At the time you ask this question, first round opponent is the Lakers which are 3-0 versus Mavericks this season.
Assuming they beat the Lakers on the first round, the Western Conference is a tough place to live. Other team that they potentially face on the next round: Nuggets (lead 4-0) and Rockets (lead 2-1). One hope is to have Portland as the Mavs have won it all (3-0) this season.
When Western Conference is done their trip would be one of these: - Cavaliers (2-0) - Boston (2-0) - Orlando (1-1) Other analysis: ESPN.

I honestly don't think they have enough in the tank to take it all the way to the championship, Dirk is too soft, Dampier is no real post presence and Jason Kidd is his way out. I think they'll win a game or 2, but get taken out in the first round.
I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
