In all fairness, and I don't know the guy, speaking for myself. I think a lot of it is an effort to protect himself from the hurt and disappointment losing this series, and the inevitable end of this era of spurs basketball.
Even though the Spurs have been good to great for most of the past 25 years, there have been some crushing crushing losses that just gutted you. The end of the big 3 is upon us. There will be lean times after Timmy and Manu ride off into the sunset.
I want this so bad for them that I do the same .
