The Dallas Mavericks currently sit in the middle of the Western Conference pack; however, that's not letting players and coaches think that the a chance to catch the league leading Spurs isn't out of the question.

"I think we're right there where we want to be," Dirk Nowitzki said. "Obviously, our goal for the season is to catch San Antonio. It's going to be hard, but we have to go for it. To me, they look really tough."

The Mavericks will need to have one of their best second half runs in recent years, and Wednesday nights game in Salt Lake City is the best place to start.
