I’m not going to lie, it was painful game to watch.
Let’s be honest, no one planned on watching the Spurs have a great season. We were prepared for an uneven win/loss ratio.
And the first game of the season set the tone.
Until it didn’t.
When you don’t have high expectations, and then you are magnificently surprised, admittedly, your hopes rise.
So when the Spurs get dismantled by a team with an MVP candidate while missing Keldon Johnson and Devin Vassell, it should come as no surprise. But the 43 point loss is a gut punch no matter what.
