There is a group of people that would like to see the Spurs lose. I get it. San Antonio has gotten this far into the season now, why throw away the top odds at a potentially franchise altering player?
But I also believe in karma. With no certainty to the top overall pick, there doesn’t seem to be a good reason to just completely throw in the towel with 10 games to go. Put out good effort and energy into the game, get good energy back. The “basketball gods,” as Zach Lowe calls them, are always watching. I’d like to think they were smiling upon the Silver and Black tonight.
