yep but that team plays with an incredible amount of ego. ego doesn't win championships and definitely doesn't keep a team together in the long run. mavs have incredible focus right now and plenty of humility from past blunders, not to mention that dirk has been the most clutch player in the playoffs by a long shot. some of these games, i don't know how the mavs have won, but the key fact is they have been finding a way to win nearly every time. compounded with the fact that the eastern conference is a bunch of junior varsity shit. quality of playoff opponents isn't quite there. shit, 8th seed in the west still had 46 wins. only 4th seed orlando had more. mavs in 6.
just imagine if san antonio had played the pacers in the first round. the outcome would have been a beat down of epic proportions.
