They can win with and without him.
Now I'm confused about what point you are trying to make. I thought you were arguing that Powell is not going to be able to continue his current performance level in the playoffs and so we need to upgrade/add a more traditional center (of which Zubac came up as an example) to which the response was that Zubac is also not useful in the playoffs. In which case not sure why the regular season series is relevant (especially since the Luka didn't even play in the first loss and both the first two games were in November when the team was still trying to feature Porzingis--who was Dallas' leading scorer in both games). The 2020 playoffs are, of course playoffs, but it really just extends the progression you see in the most recent series--the longer Luka (or in more general terms a competent ball-handler of which the Mavs will have 3 this time around as opposed to 1+Bubble Burke in 2020), the less useful he gets.
