Personally, I would call Dallas and SA the best contenders but I would also disqualify the Clippers as being legit contenders, as a distant 3rd.

If LA can topple Phoenix and the Clippers, all without HCA, I think that also makes them a legit contender. It's not easy to bet against PhilJax in the playoffs.
To make it sound more fair for you, I'll add this:

Unless God strikes down Dirk Nowitzki or Tim Duncan, the Mavs and Spurs are the only legit contenders.

Did I make it fair enough for you?
