That wouldn't screw things up at all if the Mavs take care of business and end up in the fourth or fifth seed, which should be preeminently doable if they don't lose games they should win at this point (like today). Most favor not having to face Denver until the WCFs. If that's the case, then you *want* them in that 2/3/6/7 bracket. The Mavs would then face the Pels or Clippers in the first round, the pretender first seed (Minnie or OKC) in the second round, and the Nuggets in the WCFs.
