Will Dallas Mavericks survive withouth Dirk?  

Dallas without their franchise player is like a person without one leg. Dallas Mavericks cannot survive the playoff without him. Good news is that he can play after two weeks after he suffered an injury against my defending Champions - the San Antonio Spurs!

I think the Mavericks can definitely make it to the playoffs without him. There is something motivational when everyone counts you out. And I'm sure that is what most of the team has been hearing. I think they can even get through the first round of the playoffs without Dirk. But if he doesn't make it after that, they won't go any farther. To go all the way they need him.

I think they will still be playoff contender well that is untill they face the lakers

Last night's game against Golden State showed that despite their most intense efforts, they can't beat any teams they must defeat in order to make the playoffs without the big German.

Of course they can, they have Josh Howard and Jason Terry but the thing is, they wont win any championship.
