I also believe that unlike in year's past Pop and the team made a committment to try to win games early on and that will make in the end a 5-10 game difference in the season total, all things being equal.
Seeding is more important than ever to try to avoid if possible both LAL and the Mavs potentially and I believe the team is trying to get the top seed.
Even with the record so far that is not a lock as the Spurs have a lot of road games and tough games yet and the Mavs are still a force to be reckoned with; but they are certainly in a position to fight for it without an incredible surge at the end, as has been the case even in the high 50s season game winning years.
