I'm pretty sure the answer to that is no, hence the reason why you have to buy out your players before the last game of the season. Watchdog gets turned off after the playoffs as teams get a grace period to play with their rosters trade wise etc. But in the past during the playoffs all teams were expected to comply with the watchdog.

One potential loophole would be any teams going all the way being able to buyout a player or two and exceeding their salary cap for their 48 hour period and than getting off when the watchdog gets turned back on. But that would seem a bit unlikely to go through.
