Tonight's victory over the T-wolves brings the Mavs record to 48-9 with 25 games left to play. Here's the breakdown....
11 home games and 14 road games. I'm going to categorize the remaining teams in 3 categories Great (.600 winning % or higher), Good (.500 to .600 winning %) and Bad (below 500). The Mavs have 5 games left with Great teams (2 with Phoenix road and home, Utah home, SA home, and Detroit road) They have 3 games with Good teams left (2 with the Cavs home and road and on the road for the Lakers) That leaves the Mavericks with 17 games against teams below 500 left on their schedule. Even though surprisingly some of those teams are pretty tough like the Nuggets, Hornets, Clippers, and the Nets. I have a hard time believing the Mavericks would even drop 2 of those games. The Mavs are just on a Mission this year. So lets say they do lose 2 games out of those 17 and split the other 8 games against team 500 or better. That gives them a final record of 67-15. Who can beat that?

Your estimate looks good. I don't think anyone can beat that record. We will have home court all the way through the playoffs and it is our year. Love my Mavs!!!!!

They're better at home than on the road and they already lost against Utah, San Antonio and Detroit... They also lost against the Warriors, the Clippers and the Lakers, 3 teams they'll be playing against in their last 25 games.
They lost 9 games our of 57 and are currently on a winning streak. Even though I love the Mavericks, I think they will lose 4 or 5 more games to end up with a 68-14 record.
It this is correct, I predict they will lose 1 against the Suns, 1 against the Spurs, 1 against the Jazz, 1 against the Warriors and 1 against the Nuggets since Iverson and Anthony are playing great again.

The question must be WHO led to the cave in? i imagine Avery Johnson panicked by replacing the line-up interior the first sport, subsequently attempting to conform to the operating type of the squaddies and it backfired huge time. Dallas isn't equipped to run with any crew. And, for sure, Jerk Nowitski did not help concerns by always capturing the ball and capturing the ball and capturing even extra. He became scared to pass into the lane and at the same time as he would submit up interior the paint, someone like Baron Davis or Stephon Jackson would fairly push him outdoors the position he would shoot it once extra. Dallas did not truly choke...they in simple terms performed a crew extra appropriate than them on the incorrect time and that crew in simple terms got here about to have their former coach who virtually equipped the Mavericks and is commonplace with how they play.

My feeling was 65-17 but close to what you figure. For me home court advantage throughout is very important. Regardless, no excuses this time - forget regular season record and deliver in the finals. Don't slack off. Just do it!
