dallas mavericks vs golden state warriors in the first round of the playoffs  

season series, golden state (3 wins), dallas mavericks (1 win). it seems so unfortunate for the 67-15 mavericks to face the only team they have a losing record in the forst round of the playoffs. heavily loaded with quality players led by jason richardson and baron davis, the golden state warriors might give the mavericks a good fight in the playoffs, or maybe an upset. but the number 1 seeded mavericks for sure will have something up in their sleeves for this match-up. dirk nowitzki, josh howard, jason terry, jerry stackhouse and the rest, it looks like the mavericks have the most balanced and deepest line-up in the league.

will the mavericks finally win it this year? or will the warriors add something to their history this season by not just ending a 13 year playoff drought but also beating the number 1 seed and repeat history (1994 sonics-nuggets)?
