THats 4 road wins out of the 5, none of them were that close and 4 out of the 5 are playoff teams or playoff contenders. Apparently they just frustrated the heck out of dallas.
Now they will not keep up this pace forever but I predict we see a team that plays better than .500 from today onward. The only thing that prevents them from being a playoff team is the fact theu have spotted far too many points to the opposition. They could conceivably do it but I see the "coach effect" moderating such that they settle into a winning clip that would be into the playoffs if they had mainatained it season long but which is insufficient to bring them all the way back. Heck they would have to win five more in a row just to get back to .500 and a .500 record doesn't make the playoffs in either conference
