Mavericks Struggle

With Dirk Nowitzki being out for the last 9 games, the Mavericks have struggled going only 2-7 the last 9 games.  Before Dirk went out on December 27th the Mavs were 24-5 and were running in a close second in the Western Conference behind the San Antonio Spurs.  The Mavs have now fell to third place in the Western Conference standings behind the #1 Spurs and now #2 Lakers.  In their 9th game without Dirk last night they took on the Spurs in San Antonio and once again fell to deliver without Dirk in the line-up.  The Mavs lost to the Spurs last night 89-101 which has now left them 7 games behind the Spurs for the #1 spot.  The Mavs believe that Nowitzki will return to the court next week but are still unsure.  The Mavs continue their 4 game road trip tonight against the Memphis Grizzlies.
