Dick Motta’s 10 game set

[Reunion Mav]

80 games in the books. What a finish. At 50 games we were 3 games behind pace. We finish plus 2 and already at 50 wins. A major reason for Dick Motta’s measure of consistency was to get to 50 wins. In the 80s 50 wins was harder to do because tanking was not yet a thing. Bad teams upsetting people more often was a thing.

50 wins is still very good. We had the least consistent 50 win season I have ever seen. It may be one of the strongest finishes we’ve ever had as well. We’ve been consistently top notch these last 10. Best of all here comes playoff basketball after a nice rest.
