12. Dallas Mavericks (Down 1-2 to Oklahoma City)
Dallas is another team that surprised people by being a playoff team after their dreams of DeAndre Jordan fell through. They have arguably one of the best coaches in the league in Rick Carlisle to guide them, however, so it shouldn’t be too surprising. It just may not be enough to compete with the Thunder, as shown by their averaging 86 ppg in the three games so far. Also, they’ve been outrebounded by 44 by the Thunder as well. It’s hard to keep games close when you can’t rebound. Raymond Felton(!!) has been a saving grace for Dallas to this point, averaging 15 ppg and 6 rpg, with 21 points and 11 rebounds coming in the Game 2 victory.
