Normally I’d be disappointed, except that it just doesn’t matter.

So what does matter?

  • I got to see this game with the other SpursDynasty writers. Michael, thanks for extending your long weekend.
  • This was just one game in an 82-game season. Gotta keep things in perspective.
  • Only the Utah Jazz have a better record than the Spurs (although the Mavericks are catching up very quickly). The Spurs and Jazz play tonight, and the oddsmakers favor the Spurs by a point.
  • Golden State is hot right now, having beaten the two best teams in the NBA — Utah and San Antonio — in the past three days.
  • The Spurs had not lost on the road until last night, so they were due.
  • It would have been a different game had Manu Ginobili and Baron Davis not been injured.
  • The Spurs continue to fair poorly in back-to-back games.
