GAME THREAD: Dallas Mavericks at Oklahoma City Thunder

WHO: Dallas Mavericks at Oklahoma City Thunder

WHAT: A look into the Mavericks' possible playoff future.

WHERE: Ford Center, Oklahoma City, Oklahoma

WHEN: 6:00 p.m. CDT

HOW: FSSW

THE STORY: Listen, the Thunder are really good, okay? But as Tim mentioned in his preview this morning, they've let up a little in recent weeks, going 5-5 in their last 10 games. Let's put it this way: I don't expect the Mavs to win this game. But any given Sunday and all that, I think they have a chance if they show some of that same determination they showed against the Blazers and Pacers. Coming off three days' rest they should be good to go from a fatigue standpoint, so it's the same story as always: keep the shooting hot, get the ball to the big German guy and play a LITTLE defense...and just maybe.

Gooooooooo Mavs!
