That Kings loss really hurts considering what we've got coming up. We get a break until Thursday, then 6 games in 10 days versus stiff competition. I think I'd take 3-3 right now. What do you guys think?
@ Pistons
vs Heat
@ Bucks
vs Celtics
@ 76ers
@ Raptors

Though stretch, but I think we take the Pistons game in Mexico then both the home games and steal one on the road against either Philly or Toronto.
4-2 or 5-1.
Coming up short after such a huge comeback has the chance to be demoralizing, but I think the guys respond well. Despite still playing like an MVP, Luka has been relatively quiet recently and I think this loss pisses him off and he goes on a tear.

I am looking forward to this stretch.
It will clearly show what mavs have learned and where they have to improve.
Mavs are work in progress ... since October last year.
If they will show competitive consistence during this stretch that would be nice.
Not worried for Luka and coach at all here.

I'd say 4-2 most likely and 3-3 at the worst.

I'll be the realist (or the naysayer, depending on one's perspective) and say that the Mavs will go 2-4 in this stretch. Anything better is Kool and the Gang time.

Isn’t there something out there saying the Mavs are like 7-8 against teams with a + win rate or playoff teams or something like that? If that is the case, I say they should at least go 3-3 in this stretch. They are playing with house money in my mind, so even if they go 0-6, you won’t hear an overall bad word from me, I’ll of course have opinions about individual players though.

Those records are a bit... lacking, where a 6-game stretch is concerned. OP is including the Detroit Mexico game, not just the 5 playoff teams.

Not only next 6, it'll be 10G/19days rock and roll till the end of the year.

5-5 would be ok. Let enjoy and see.

He doesn’t want to play against his future team (crosses fingers)?

Just need to tread water at 3-3 and be competitive in the big games and I'll be happy enough. 19-10 coming out of that stretch still is a 54 win pace

Any 50+ win pace is something to be GIDDY about with such a young team and such a competitive league.

I think we'll go 5-1. The rhythm of playing every other night is good for a young team I think. 6 games in 10 nights sound hard, but there are no back to backs and you have 3 days rest on both ends.

I see that. I believe Detroit will be a blow out win. Now that we got that out of the way I think the only team on the 10 game stretch coming up that is going to be super slim to win will be the Lakers game on a back to back night.
I can see the Bucks win as well but have confidence we could shock them with a win.
I am hoping we can pull a 8-2 or a 7-3 at worst.
I know the stretch will be tough but we are just a flat out better team than a lot of those good teams. We could easily lose more than half of the games since anything is possible but I am feeling good about a 7-3 outcome.

Wow. I really admire your confidence after the performance against Kings the last game they played :-) I would be happy with 3-3 for the next 6 games and then 3-1 to finish the year.
