So Far, So Good, So-crates? (http://projectspurs.com/)
Written by Nick Kapsis
Project Spurs
What is it about this team and season? It’s just uncanny how familiar it all is, as if we’ve seen this all before. This script, it feels as if it’s already been written.
Of course, just about the time one comes to that kind of a realization, has it crystallized in their mind and believes they may have just found the trend to foretell what’s to come, that’s usually about the time someone gets slapped upside the head.
Bill S. Preston Esquire (via So-crates):
The only true wisdom consists in knowing that you know nothing.
With all due respect to Bill and Ted (and So-crates) (http://movieclips.com/9G8E-bill-and-teds-excellent-adventure-movie-philosophizing-with-socrates/), I know something—even if I’m not exactly sure what the hell it is.
I’d like to think I’m a grateful San Antonio Spurs fan. I’ve been around long enough to witness the entirety of David Robinson’s career and experience some of the highest of highs and lowest lows a fan can have in that time. But it’s never precluded me from playing the “What if?” game: What if Tim Duncan is available for the 2000 playoffs? What if the Big Three never played internationally? What if 0.4 was disallowed or Dirk was never fouled? What if the 2002-03 Spurs had been able to come back intact the following year; or what if they had been able to start their season the way this 2010-11 team has, with a roster full of familiarity, continuity, good health and a collective chip on their shoulder? Would it have looked anything like 40-8?
