The Mahv-elous pursuit of 7-Oh
The Dallas Mavs already have the MVP.
They already have home court through the playoffs.
They already have a slick jeweled muzzle for Mark Cuban.
So what else is left? 70.
Only once before has an NBA team won as many as 70 games in a single season. The 95-96 Bulls went 72-10 and went on to win the title.
Entering tonight’s game at Denver, Dallas is 62-12 with eight games to play. Should they win them all, they would finish 70-12 and become the NBA’s second member of Club 70.
Things you should know about the Mavs:
Dallas opened the season 0-4.
Dallas is 0-2 against Golden State.
Dallas plays at Golden State on April 17, the second to last game of the season.
Kevin Willis is 44 years old.
If they played exclusively in the Eastern Conference, they would already have 70.
Dirk Nowitzki hurt his ankle last week, and if he doesn’t have to play …
Karl Hungus is a fictional character.
Their 62 wins is already a franchise record.
There’s no such thing as a Tip Off Talk jinx.
