ESPN - TrueHoop: "Hear me out: the Spurs don't sweat the regular season. (Witness: last night's revenge of Beno Udrih.) They just don't. It's too long. You can't peak for 100 games straight. So they play hard enough. If they played hard all the time, however, they would have been the top seed, and they would have met the strongest oppostion in the conference finals, which is not the Finals as you'd wish, but at least it's not the freaking second round. If the season were 60 games, every regular season game meant that much more, and the wear and tear on the bodies was less, maybe then there would be no reason for the Spurs not to get themselves a top seed."

Amen. They need to shorten the season by a lot. I would like to see it down to 50 games. Will thi$ happen? Of cour$e not.
