All in all, I liked last season better.
It just wasn't meant to be.
11 months ago, the Spurs were being toasted as not only the deserved NBA Champions, not only a paragon example to teams of all levels on how to play, but also one of the most dominant teams to have ever graced the sport.
And then, in their first professional game after the Game 5 triumph against Miami, the Spurs lost to Alba Berlin on a crazy last-second shot.
On Dec. 12, at home against a Lakers team that would go on to win 21 games all year, the Spurs lost, thanks to this crazy shot by Nick Young, who very well could be a member of Alba Berlin next season.
