That´s the crazy part. Looking at team metics the Mavs are worse in every single category. Except for the most important one. Wins. Based on O, D or net rating the Mavs are a bottom ten team. Same for SRS.
We can give them some credit for winning a lot of close games but also have to acknowledge that those games shouldn´t be close. Relatively easy schedule and probably playing in the easiest conference (can´t believe that it finally happened...imagine the 00s Mavs in this crappy SW division).
Pacers are the direct opposite. They are underperforming badly in the W-L column. Better O, D and net rating. Better SRS. Compared to the Mavs. I guess they could blame the clutch Ls on RC because the Mavs had similar problems in the last two seasons.
