I think if, in the next four games, they can go 1-3 or even 0-4, they'll be in a great position. After these four games the schedule gets brutal with top teams in a ridiculously tight calendar. This is gonna be like 2018.
I said earlier that if I were the front office, Kidd's marching orders would be that he was allowed to win an absolute max of 7 more games. That estimate was waaaayyyy too high. The Mavs might finish 4-5 if they don't win *any* more games. While I don't think there's any reasonable chance of them falling below seventh (that 26 wins guess would probably land them there), this year is unprecedented in terms of the lengths the bottom dwellers are going in terms of tanking aggressively. If they're dang lucky, one of the Pels, the Wizards (who are too dumb to tank right), or Utah (lulz, yeah right) will pass them in wins.
