Agree. Fortunately, GSW realistically can't move in any direction from the 10th spot. I hope their vets will start taking it a bit more easy, with the main goal to reach play-in in full health. Houston on the other hand doesn't have much to fight for, as they are locked in 11th spot. If Mavs play as hard as they were lately, I think there is little chance to lose any of those games. As you said, it could be huge if Mavs clinch their play-off spot in next couple of games and then "cruise at half speed" in remaining games.
