The Mavericks are playing with heart (Dirk was running a temperature of 101 degrees tonight) but they are playing uphill. Their wins so far are amazing come-from-behind fourth quarter finishes. I don't think this type of Herculean can be sustained.

I'll admit that like most area sports fans, I've become accustomed to keeping my expectations low. The track record of the Cowboys (Division Champs but no further), the Rangers (ALCS but dropping the WS), FC Dallas (losing the championship) and even TCU (2nd place in the BCS) have instilled a sense of not being able to win the Big One. After so much success in the 90's with the Cowboys, I think we can finally understand frustrations felt by Bills and Vikings fans.
