I know this season was not going to be a continuation of last year's playoff dominance when I saw just how horrible the ball movement and players moving without the ball had become. Players were not cutting hard, screens were not being set, and the ball was sticking. When I saw that, I immediately was filled with dread because that was the only way the Spurs were going to repeat and they have lost their way. Maybe there is no motivation to achieve a repeat because they redeemed themselves from the Miami debacle but they just don't look hungry this year. They seem satisfied and people can say it is because of injuries but that is just an excuse because the second unit last year was playing better than the starters in many games and we didn't see this kind of play. The chemistry has disappeared. It looks like everybody on the court are strangers to each other and it is just very disappointing to see them fall from such dominance. I know sustaining excellence is a difficult feat but if any team could do it, I truly believed the Spurs have the personnel and resolve to do it but now I just do not know?
