10 game segment at 60/new playoff run projections

[Hypermav]

I want these two wins bad for another reason. That would be 5-3 in the bubble, what the season averages predicted. That would be 45-30 or exactly 60%. That would equal 49 or 50 wins in a normal season.

These games will probably be very close, so 2 wins would be notable improvement in our end of game dynamic. I just want it. No matter how we do, the ten game records show remarkable consistency for the whole season.

I agree.  I think the Mavs should play to win these two games without regard to the opponents.  Have some fun before the grind of a Clipper series starts.  Not that the playoffs won't be fun, but they will be intense.
