There were 7 teams in the regular season that won 50 games or more: BOS, OKC, DEN, MIN, LAC, NYK, DAL.
OKC had best 13-6 (68.4%) record against 50+ win teams. MIN and MIL were 12-7 (63.1%), BOS 9-6 (60.0%).
DAL is 12-5 (70.5%) in the playoffs, playing just 50+ win teams.
This is nice information to pass time with... but in the Finals it is really meaningless. It all depends on matchups and who can win more of them. The advantage is with the Celtics because they have more two-way power... but we can hope it plays out differently. Two-way power, as in, more defensive pieces to stop the Mavericks' scorers, and more scorers than the Mavericks can hope to fully contain. The Mavs can contain Tatum and Brown with PJW and DJJ, but any one (or two) of White, Jrue or Porky could still go off for 20-30, in addition to what the Jays provide.
