Best Mavericks playoff game since 2000? This tournament will find out

Over the next couple of weeks, we here at Mavs Moneyball are starting a mission to determine the best Mavericks playoff game since 2000. Even if the answer is obvious (I personally think there's two contenders for the title), the journey we take to get there is the key to all of this. We need your help. You already helped us narrow our field to 16 candidates. Now we need to get it down to one.

Here's the 16 seeds and which teams have been eliminated so far.

1. 2011 - Miami, Finals, Game 6
2. 2011 - Miami, Finals, Game 2
3. 2006 - San Antonio, semis, Game 7
4. 2011 - Los Angeles, semis, Game 4

5. 2011 - Miami, Finals, Game 5
6. 2014 - San Antonio, first round, Game 3
7. 2011 - Miami, Finals, Game 4
