In Tuesday’s edition, we begin our eulogies for the Spurs, label Russell Westbrook a selfish chucker, shed Dallas’ choker label temporarily, redefine Chris Wallace and celebrate J.R. Smith’s enthusiasm.
Spurs Vs. Grizzlies: Memphis Routs San Antonio, Fuels Spurs Eulogies
I might be able to accept that, but I’m still not quite there. To be honest, I’m not sure what to make of the Spurs’ future right now. It seems like we write them off every year, only to see them force their way into the picture. In 2008, we thought they were too old. In 2009, we thought they would never be healthy again. In 2010, we thought they were too reliant on an aging Duncan. What’s the issue this year? It’s tough to put a finger on it, so naturally, these eulogies have begun.
Where does that leave us with the Spurs? I’m not sure. Whenever a team relies so heavily on a guy with as many miles as Duncan, it can all go away in a second. But I’m still sticking with the theory that San Antonio just got unlucky to run into a team perfectly equipped to deal with their weaknesses.
