Being 1 or 2 games higher in the standings is not much more "in control" than where the Mavs are right now. I think you're seriously overestimating the difference between being the #4 seed 10 games behind the Lakers and the #8 seed 12 games behind the Lakers. The difference is 2 games, which is not much of a cushion (if you're #4), or a deficit (if you're #8).
