The Mavericks live another day

Yes, I knew the Mavs will continue to put up a good fight in game 6. The losses they have in games 3 and 4 are all closed games, only to see them losses steam in the endgame. It's hard to beat the Spurs in their homecourt with the resurgence of the three reliable players of Duncan, Ginobili and Parker. But Dallas will be in contention with the NUmber 41 player of the Dallas Mavericks continues to play the game.

game 5 is just another game for the two rivals. game 6 is an all-important game for both teams. the dallas mavericks believed that they have a team now that can go deep in the playoff. so they have to pass through a tough match-up with the veteran san antonio spurs before really realizing their competitiveness in the league. game 6 will define whether they get the right elements in the team or change some people in it (again) in pursuit of that championship ring.
