The Spurs embarrassed themselves on their visit to Detroit with a 132-98 loss to the lowly Pistons. We have to hope this is rock bottom, because if there are worse games than this one coming, the season will feel interminable.
It would have been easy to excuse a normal defeat on Sunday. The Spurs have been a bad team at full strength, so dropping a game on the road without LaMarcus Aldridge (out with injury) against a team with an imposing front line was a distinct possibility. The way San Antonio lost, however, is inexcusable no matter who was missing, as the Spurs simply seemed to give up in the third quarter.
