I disagree
Playoffs are all about matchups.
No one felt the Mavs could beat the Lakers back in 2011 but the Mavs had a trio of wing defenders they could throw at kobe and two bigs who could matchup with Bynum and Gasol.
In 07 the Warriors were a bad matchup foe the Mavs
I believe the Mavs would fair well vs the Clippers or Blazers but not the Nuggets or Suns.
Chris Paul scares me for the Suns because the Mavs never seem to stop that guy especially late in games.
If they get the Lakers with a hobbling AD the dynamics of a series like that would change.
