What you are asking for is like a five game win streak. I don’t know how frequently those are going to happen this year, regardless of the schedule.
Actually, those five games are broken up by three games against Boston, Philly, and the Nets. We might be able to beat the Nets. Boston, we'd have to be steadily improving in the games leading up. Philly, lulz. I'm just asking for a three-game winning streak before Boston, and for us to TCB finishing up this half of the season so that we're at .500 at the halfway mark. I do have concerns about those three teams you mentioned, and for the reasons you mentioned, but the Mavs *will* beat all three of them if they play decently, as in a bit better than they've played the past five games. If we lose any of those games, it will be for reasons that we'll be collectively ranting about when the horn sounds, imho.
