The team has shown in the last two weeks they can play with anyone regardless of Murray missing. Even in the losses; they're ahead late or inside a single possession at the end. UTA, LAL, LAC ... they can beat anyone.
The question becomes whether or not they have the depth to do it. If Morris/Dozier/Barton aren't playing the the post-season ... no, I don't think they can get by UTA in round 2. If some of these guys are playing, then yes, they can. You must appreciate that in order to get to the conference finals, they have to beat DAL and then UTA. That's not an impossible task (or even a terribly difficult one).
