How much time does this cast have left on stage? (http://www.48minutesofhell.com/)

48 Minutes of Hell
Last Tuesday, Andrew wrote about the winter of the Duncan Dynasty (http://www.48minutesofhell.com/2010/09/14/san-antonio-spurs-championship-window-duncan-dynasty-almost-over/) in San Antonio. His article was pessimistic about how much the current core could contribute to an additional championship, saying “the league passed San Antonio by.’ Of course, this pessimism is not entirely unfounded.
The Spurs haven’t won the vaunted NBA title since 2007. Duncan is 34. Ginobili is 33 and Parker is 28 and coming off an injury-plagued season. Andrew is probably right to suggest tempered expectations, but do these lowered expectations mean that the Spurs should rebuild? I suspect few will suggest rebuilding until there are very strong signs of decline from at least 2 of the Big 3. After all, the arthritic Celtics came tantalizing close to their second championship in 3 years this past June.
If the current group of Spurs isn’t at the end of the line, how much longer do they have?
