This has been my most awkward season supporting our team. During this recent tough stretch, where we increased our number of days under .500 from 56 to 65 (love that Dallas [943] and Houston [1004] are a distant 2nd and 3rd!), my wife and I have found ourselves ‘missing’ games for reasons ranging from babysitting our four nieces and nephews to helping out with the California wildfire recovery efforts to the not-yet-patented ‘grocery shopping while a major sporting event is going on’ lame excuse. Each of the Spurs losses after Thanksgiving seem to adversely affect us exponentially.
