Quite possible...
With how the Clippers are playing it seems possible the Mavs can somehow leap frog them.
But am I crazy to want to try and avoid them in the playoffs? Call ptsd or whatever, but Kawhi has single handedly bested the Mavs not once, but TWICE in a playoff series. I'd rather try and avoid him especially early on in the playoffs.
A hypothetical 2nd round matchup doesn't scare me nearly quite as much given Kawhi getting tired by then.
