Buck Harvey's a good writer, but that article is little more than rhetoric.
I remember the Mavs saying the same things in years past when they were the ones playing long series and their opponents were done in 4 or 5 games.
It doesn't help a team like the Spurs to go 6 or 7 games in the first round. Period. And no matter what is said in the paper, the Spurs know that the next round will be much more difficult to win than this one.
