Shea Serrano: The Spurs won on Sunday, but I saw it, lurking in the shadows, waiting for the most debilitating time to attack, waiting for juuuuuuust the right moment to crumple the city of San Antonio.

The Spurs won on Sunday, but it’s there, and eventually it’s going to swallow them whole. It’s going to turn the postseason into a space shuttle cockpit of flames; eventually it’s going to fling them into the abyss, eventually it’s going to rip them apart atomically.

The Spurs won on Sunday, but it’s so very clear that, despite the brilliance of Gregg Popovich or the infinity of Tim Duncan or the tornado-isms of Manu Ginobili, it will, and I say this with absolute faith, turn the Spurs’ 2014 playoff run into a sleeping bag full of brown recluse spiders.

The Spurs won on Sunday but it’s right there and I know it and you know it and they know it and there’s nothing to be done about it except wait to die and go to heaven and hope that heaven doesn’t get NBA TV because, I’m saying, bro, there is no way at all the Spurs can outrun last year’s non-championship.

I wish it wasn’t this way but it is. I wish there was a way to sidestep the collapse that’s coming but there isn’t. We are all tied to this railroad track, and the only choice we have in the matter is whether or not we scream before we are cut in half by the train.

I’d hoped that we’d not see signs of it this early, but that was selfish.

Early in the second quarter, right about the time the Dallas Mavericks decided they wanted to try to score some points (they’d only managed 12 in the first quarter), there was a moment where the camera cut to Duncan. And his face, otherwise a statue for the last 100 years of his career, showed a very clear emotion.

Basically, it said: fuck, man.

Basically, it said: We have to win SIXTEEN of these games.

Basically, it said: Nah.

For the whole game after that, that seemed to be all that his face said, all that Tony’s face said, all that Manu’s face said, all that Pop’s face said. It’s to their unending credit that they did not lie down on the floor for the rest of the afternoon. They are champions for not doing that. But even they cannot hide their pain, and that’s all I could notice from them.

I felt the same way watching them Sunday that I feel when I look at my iPhone’s cracked screen or the way that I felt looking at Gemma after she was attacked by the white supremacists on Sons of Anarchy. We can all pretend that what happened didn’t happen and that’s natural and that’ll do for a while, but eventually the hurt will chase us down.

I wish it wouldn’t but it will.

We are in this together.

Go Spurs Go, forever.

I just posted because I thought it was eerie how much it evoked "it still hurts".

Writer is a Spur fan what does that have to do with the Lakers.

But if it helps:

Lakers Suck.
Worst season in forever.
Kobe is brokedown
Our owner clueless
Our coach too
We had the 2nd most games missed to injury but even if healthy we probably get swept or lose in 5 ...

Still doesn't change anything reported.

Analysts on sunday made it a big part of the broadcast. Was mentioned at least 3 or 4 times in the 2nd half as Mavs collapsed.

Nah. Like I said I thought the it still hurts parallels were interesting.
No need to kick a fan base when it's down but yall won so dont know why they are so depressed.

I wasnt even trolling, honestly.
The other reason was because Cully and I have been banging the drum of how that loss affects the team and the fans but many have dismissed it. the TNT guys brought it up quite a bit as well ...but could just be media hype. Time will tell.

Good news for Spurs the only 5 teams with a real shot of beating them: clips, OKC. MIA Indy (and since yall insist but I disagree) 3 of those 5 lost.
Problem is the two with LEGIT superstars won. Oh and LA and Lillard look like they wanna make some noise ...

Spurs have done it so many times, even in championship years... they just take a game or two to get up to speed in the playoffs, but after last season, I figured it was a good idea to remind peeps...

Auto correct and no, I dont care.

I dont give a shit about spelling on here ... is my grammar great in real-life? No.
But on my job and when I was in college I cared. I used to use Strunk & white to improve my writing style ...
Here? Not so much.
I already spend too much time here to proof-read shit.
