You also have to reprogram your brain to think that a 10 point loss doesn't mean what it used to.

When scores were 99-89 then 10 points represented over 10% of the winning teams margin.

But now when games are 125-115 that 10 points actually is a closer score than it appears.

And that works in practice, too. It's now easier for teams to overcome a 10 point deficit than it used to be.

Okay. GSW vs Dallas tonight. I figure Dallas has about a 40% chance of victory at home. What do you think?

Given the comments by Luka and Kidd after game 3, I would say that they are toast. I give them about a 1 in 5 chance at most.

Well, well. Mavs up 28 in the 4th. That'll make it 3-1 with them going back to GS. Wouldn't it be nice if the Mavs won game 5?

Up 20 with 9 minutes left.

They're coasting into victory. Still, up 13 with 2 minutes left isn't a lock. They need like 6 more points.

That was Dallas' token "okay, we got our 1 win, now let's start the offseason" win.

Likely. But wouldn't you like the Mavs to come back from 0-3 and win?

Okay. Let's start the odds for the Mavs winning in GSW on Thursday.

My personal opinion is they have a less than 10% chance. Say 20:1, 5% chance of winning.
