William Shakespeare once asserted that “Never was there a tale of more woe, than that of Juliet and her Romeo.” With all due respect to Mr. Shakespeare, it’s obvious that he’d clearly never seen Monday night’s San Antonio Spurs loss to the Memphis Grizzlies.
And while comparing the contest to Shakespeare’s most popular tragedy might be a bit of an exaggerated reaction on my part, (For one thing, it was nowhere as well written as any of the Bard’s dramatic works. Well, maybe ‘Two Noble Kinsmen’. No offense, but it’s an excuse for a play) falling so frustratingly short of victory on a night in which Spurs fans had prepared themselves to say goodbye to one of the last major links of the Big Three era felt like an epic tragedy.
