Dallas Mavericks

PREDICTED FINISH: 11th   43-39
ACTUAL FINISH       : 22nd   33-49

What I got right: I correctly guessed the value of Harrison Barnes on this roster. And I correctly pointed to shooting accuracy. The Dallas Mavericks finished the season 29th of 30 teams in that statistic.

What I got wrong: I never saw the injury to Dirk Nowitzki coming. By the time he arrived to the team, the record was already 9-21. From that point on, the team played 24-28. Not quite a playoff team, but much better.  I saw Andrew Bogut as a solid contributor. That never happened.
