It couldn’t go on forever.
As much as I was prepared for the Spurs to ride a 20 game win streak into the playoffs, a loss was bound to happen somewhere in here. It’s okay, I think. I’m sure that, like me, you all spent the last few days reading various national media stories checking back in and asking, “The Spurs: What Do They Know? Do They Know Things?? Let’s Find Out!” and it was sort of easy to get a bit swept up in our own hype again. The last time the rest of the basketball world checked in on the New Age Spurs they were tip-toeing over on the edge of tumbling all the way out of the playoffs and now, all of a sudden, they’re the Same Old Spurs who always find a way.
