Dallas Mavericks
Wish: Beat the Clippers in a first-round playoff series
As it stands currently, the Dallas Mavericks (5th seed) would face off against the Los Angeles Clippers (4th seed) in the first round of the playoffs. After the emoji war over DeAndre Jordan last summer, the perfect way the Mavericks’ season can end would be with them ending the Clippers’ – and, in essence, Jordan’s – first.
If the Mavericks would be the Clippers in a playoff series, I believe Mark Cuban will be able to move on from last summer as a happy man. Plus, it would also restore our faith in NBA karma. It’s taken a hit after what LeBron did in Miami, when he left the Cavs in such an ugly way.
