How will the Mavericks do?

The Mavericks made it to the Play-offs, Nowitzki has ignited them, Kidd has adjusted, but Howard lost his greatness. The Mavs are facing the Hornets which is becoming their rival, they've had troubles this season and I think this will be a great series. Do you think the Mavs will come together and will make it to the semis, or will they fall apart early? Who will shine Stackhouse, Howard, or Kidd? and what will make them shine? How will they turn out.
