For a variety of reasons, it wasn't San Antonio's year.
With 10 free agents, including Duncan and Ginobili, it's a virtual certainty the Spurs will lose important pieces this summer.
I read that in yesterday's piece by Dan McCarney on the uncertainty, and opportunity, of the upcoming summer for the Spurs. I hadn't really allowed myself to start thinking about the changes that are coming this offseason, but the time is here now, earlier than any of us would have liked.
For me, then, the first thing I want to get down is just how special this latest version of the Spurs has been.
