Bottom line is that the Mavs still control their own destiny. A split with the Warriors in the remaining two games puts them in a great (and I mean great) position to make the playoffs given GSW has a pretty tough schedule ahead of them and the Mavs will win the tiebreaker. Two wins against the Warriors almost assures the Mavs of a playoff spot (assuming the Mavs win against the Clipps, the Sonics twice, and the Blazers). In fact if the Mavs don't at least split with GSW, then they don't deserve the playoff spot.
