NBA Playoff Power Rankings: Is It Smart To Sleep On The Oklahoma City Thunder?

16. Dallas Mavericks (0-1)

I…just…can’t.

And neither can the Dallas Mavericks, apparently.

With all due respect to the players on this team, because they deserve it, this team shouldn’t be in the playoffs. At least not against the Oklahoma City Thunder. Dallas doesn’t have any one player on their roster that can guard Russell Westbrook, much less Kevin Durant.

And that was very well evident in the team’s 38-point thrashing at the hands of the Oklahoma City Thunder. To make matters worse, if that was even possible, J.J. Barea was injured in the game. Dallas might lose this series in three games.
