Yes, I agree it's pessimistic. When he says the Lakers will need very good health from all those players, that sounds pessimistic - as it should be. I think the same thing for the Mavericks really. They will need good health to compete in Western Conference.
He didn't say they are relying on perfect outcome to be competitive in the playoffs (as you wrote in the original description). He said they are clear cut contenders in the perfect outcome. This is the point that started my response.
