True, but have a chance to make that pretty difficult for those teams if they take care of their business head to head.
ABTFLITFI agree 41times about the Mavs not catching the Spurs unless they have a injury.
However, I do think we will have a Spurs-Mavs showdown in the playoffs once again. It's destiny..I think!

Celtics won't go all-out IMO..all their core players are playing more minutes than last season, they will definitely sit out some games and play less minutes, at some point IMO..if they don't, they're going to be worn out in the playoffs..last season, they made sure to conserve their energy, and it was a successful plan..
Miami is probably the only team that can catch the Spurs IMO, so the Spurs need to win at least 1 of the 2 games against them..
HCA in the West is enough for me though..
Why would "HCA in the West be enough" for you? Given the lead they have, only home court advantage throughout should be enough. Home court is more crucial in the Finals than any other round, because of the format. If the two teams are relatively even, the difference is oftentimes home court, because what are the odds of the team without it sweeping the middle three games or winning two road games? They'd have to do one to win the series.
If you believe that 60 wins will get HCA in the West, the Spurs get there by going 14-12; the Mavs would have to go 20-6.
If you believe that 62 wins (historically average for #1 team in the West overall over the last few years) the Spurs must go 16-10; the Mavs must go 22-4.
Would really like to see Splitts get healed up and contribute.
We cannot win Duncs breaking down.
