I made a similar prediction two years ago, but the Miami Heat and the refs ruined it for me.

After last season’s early playoff exit, I felt the one thing the Mavericks needed was a player to take the leadership role away from Dirk . Dirk is not a natural born leader and craters when the pressure is on. Every team in the league knows that all they have to do is shut down Dirk, and the castle will fall.

The Jason Kidd trade was the perfect move for the Mavericks. He is the floor general Avery Johnson is looking for. Initially everyone has noticed that Jason will bring out Dirk and Jason Terry, but the true benefactors (Mark Cuban reference) of Jason Kidd on the team will be Josh Howard and Jerry Stackhouse. I see those two flourishing with Kidd distributing the ball.

I just watched the Mavs play the Bulls tonight and I saw some magical things going on out there. Tonight San Antonio and Dallas match up and will provide a good test for the Mavericks. Once the role players find their grooves, the Mavs will be unstoppable. Hopefully the refs will stay out of the game outcomes.

Since the Dallas Cowboys are out of the picture and I can't stand cheaters,  I have to go with the New York Football Giants.  If the Pats do win, I will sign the petition to record the season with an asterisk.

We are having wings, family and fun during the game. What are your plans and or predictions?
