Can the Mavs Win 70?

With last nights drumming of the Timberwolves the Mavs extended their win streak to 13, and their overall record to 48-9. If the Mavs would not have lost their first 4 straight, they would be 52-5, one game better at this point in the season than the legendary Bulls team led by Michael Jordan.

With 25 games left on the schedule, 14 of those are on the road. With the Mavericks home record this season I am going to give them the benefit of the doubt and give them 11 W's. Of the 14 games on the road, many of them are against the substantially weaker Eastern Conference. The only games I could see them losing are at Phoenix, LA, or Detroit.

Summary: I think it is very possible that we see the Mavericks win 70
