The only two teams out there that are contending both reside in Staples and those two are literally an injury away from being knocked out of that status. Neither team blows anyone else away in a 7 game series, but the defense from both along with the Lakers' size are major factors that Dallas doesn't quite have the ability to address right now and without KP as the anchor, Dallas' defense is porous. If they can address those things, then it's up for grabs. Either way, the west will NOT be a cake walk for anyone.
