As noted yesterday, the Mavericks have struggled against teams with winning records. After losing to New Orleans last night, Dallas continued that trend.
Scary Numbers:
Mavericks' record: 22-17 (.564 winning percentage)
vs. winning teams: 5-13 (.280 winning-percentage)
vs. losing teams: 17-4 (.809 winning-percentage)
Up to this point in the season, Dallas has played 21 games against teams with a losing record and only 18 against teams with a winning record. Unfortunately for Dallas, that is about to change.
43 games remaining:
26 games remaining against teams with a winning record
17 games remaining against teams with a losing record
Scary Projections:
26 games against winning teams x .280 winning-percentage (vs winning teams) = 7 wins
17 games against losing teams x .809 winning-percentage (vs losing teams) = 14 wins
Summary:
Mavs project to go 7-19 in games remaining against winning teams.
Mavs project to go 14-3 in games remaining against losing teams.
Mavs project to finish with a final record of 43-39
Last year, Golden State finished at 48-34...and missed the playoffs. Wow.
