Woof.
It never fails. I write all sorts of flattering things about the Spurs’ offense, and, like clockwork, “The Stampler Stink” immediately pervades the AT&T Center like a noxious fart, with the home side proceeding to play their worst game in ages against, of all teams, the Madge, scoring all of 83 points on 36.8 percent shooting, with 18 turnovers.
Sorry about that.
Less than 24 hours later, the fellas had a SEGABABA against another brutal outfit, Mark Cuban’s money pit Mavericks, and this time they had to make a go of it without graybeards Pau Gasol, Manu Ginobili and Tony Parker, all being rested (though Gregg Popovich mentioned pregame the former two were a bit “banged up”).
