Yes I do. ALL sample sizes are "small" in a very real sense (shoot, even 82 games isn't enough!) and so we simply take the sample sizes we have available to us and look at them carefully with wisdom and discernment.
During this stretch the Mavs are EQUALLY (if not moreso) ravaged by COVID and the Mavs are also missing their far and away single most talented basketball player. And yet despite that both my eyes and the stats say this is the best stretch of basketball they have played this season, not in the least being much more watchable and entertaining.
