Chandler Parsons and David Lee will be the keys for the Mavericks down the stretch.
If Dirk Nowitzki and Rick Carlisle have showed us anything in their years together, it’s that once they get into the playoffs, they are not an easy out. Just ask the 2013-14 champion San Antonio Spurs, considered by some to be the most dominant NBA Finals team ever. Those Spurs were taken to seven games by just one team all postseason, the Dirk and Monta Ellis-led Dallas Mavericks.
Each year, analysts predict that the Mavs will fall out of the playoff hunt, and each year Dallas proves that their formula of a brilliant head coach, an aging superstar, a secondary scoring option, and a bevy of quality role players is a recipe for success.
