Ouch. That was an interesting stat, so I checked out the Mavs record:
6 game road trip - Loss to Phoenix - 4/2 overall
4 game road trip - Loss to LA Lakers - 1/3 overall
6 game road trip - Loss to Indiana - 4/2 overall
5 game road trip - Win to Chicago - 4/1 overall
3 game road trip - Loss to San Antonio - 2/1 overall
5 game road trip - ???? to LA Lakers - 2/0 so far
So, we are a whopping 20% for our third game of an at least 3-game road trip. BUT, I think we are a helluva lot stronger personel-whise and playing as a team.
So, I still believe if Kobe doesn't play we win. If he does, then it's a 50/50 chance with the difference being just a few points.
