Mavericks' center Erick Dampier believes that his club will be playing with a big advantage during the first two games of the Western Conference Semifinals, as the Spurs had to play six games in the first round, verus just four for Dallas.

"They played two more games than us and had to travel," Dampier said. "So I think they'll be a little tired. And we're rested."

"Game 1 and Game 2," he said. "They have to play within 36 hours [of finishing the first round]. You got to fly all the way back home, three hours or so from Sacramento. That takes a toll on your body. And then we play two games in three days. Then we go back to our homecourt. And we've been rested. So we're going to come out and run them up and down the floor."
