I think they would also have a great deal of trouble against the Lakers when you throw in Hollywood's referee allies.
If they had a playoff path that avoided those four teams, then yeah.
They're at the official "pretender" level in year one of Luka/KP. That's amazing enough as it is.
Lol you realize two of those teams you listed are in the Eastern conference right? I will worry about beating an Eastern team in a seven game series if/when we are faced with that problem (which I would love to find out). In the meantime the Clippers are also a great team and thought of as the favorite to come out of the West. The Mavs right now probably cannot beat them so a) Mavs should try to avoid then in the playoffs as long as possible and b) Mavs really need another defensive wing or big or both.
