It may seem far-fetched for the Spurs to take this series, or perhaps it isn’t. I strongly believe every super team’s deconstruction begins with a powerful first blow. And just as every rock-pounder knows, it’s not the first swing, but the hundred and first blow before the damage is done. In my opinion, the 2007 NBA Finals planted the seed that became “The Decision”. In the same vein, the 2014 Finals directly caused “The Homecoming”.
In order to blow up the Death Star that has dominated the NBA landscape, adjustments must be made.
