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 pit 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: , 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.

The short version of TimVp's opus does this shea post upstairs?

Each & all were complicit in 6. See, this is how Media molds & rehabs a niqqer WHEN THEY WANT TO.
lol wtf
lol lakerfan can't talk about his own team during the playoffs.
I thought TD looked pretty cool and calm at the podium... I guess you see what you wanna see...
Not familiar with the writer, although I read Grantland from time to time ... sounds like a Spur fan.
Aslso a drinking game could of been played with the mentions of "6" During Game 1 ...
Sounds like a guy who wrote an article for Grantland.
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.
Here is his brief bio:
SHEA SERRANO is a writer based in Houston. He has written for MTV, XXL, Vice, Complex, Myspace, and other outlets. He recently published his first book, Bun B’s Rap Coloring and Activity Book.
Is he actually a spurfan?
Fans get emo. lakerfan included. I understand, but it amuses me more than anything these days.
And there is no "a" in deux.
He wrote it that way but I guess not unless a bandwaggoner ...being from Houston. But the way he wrote the closing made me think he is.
Killa, if you're looking for depressed/cliff-jumping spurs fan, just head upstairs, tbh...
I did not see the presser to me it does sound like he is "Reaching" ... I just wonder how much truth is to the "haunting" of 6.
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.
i'm convinced this was written by he who must not be named, and this shea guy is just a cover man.
And people who don't get clues
one of det threads you started ElNono
Yes. I did repeat what Robz4000 said and it's even funnier because that wanker called me out
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 ...
Could be ...
BUT BUT BUT what are the chances that the article author is one of the people upstairs? And maybe he has a Panamanian spouse too
