The San Antonio Spurs are definitely not crashing back to reality. No, I’d say its more of a gentle plummet, almost like a skydiver who pulled his shoot chute way too early and is now lazily making his way back to the earth. Nobody’s panicking and there aren’t any concerned bystanders waiting around at the scene — because this is all normal. This is what’s supposed to be happening.
It’s a strange feeling to watch a team go out there and lose five of their last six games and feel pretty good. There’s something almost satisfying about it.
