After a turbulent season filled with unwelcomed surprises at every corner, the playoffs are finally here. Dallas will face off against the Oklahoma City Thunder for the third time in six years. There was a slight glimmer of hope at the 5-seed, but the Mavs frittered that away by losing to the Spurs' skeleton crew. Dallas avoided the abject horror of another Spurs series thanks to basketball deity Stephen Curry and his 73 win Warriors squad.
Dallas and OKC have faced off four times this season with Mavs losing all four contests.
