If we lose one game against a bad team, then we need to go 8-8 against teams we are a combined 2-16 against (0-16 against every playoff team we still need to play other than Houston.)

No doubt, but its very difficult to project future matchups versus earlier season matchups due to the Mavs really being 3 wholly separate teams this year: No Dirk, Transitional Dirk (December), and with Dirk. I mean, realistically we probably loose to any top 5 west or east teams (though the many of those loses have been pretty darn close). I don't think the December record reflects the potential of this team at all, especially if Collison continues to play at the level he's been playing the past month or so.
