Finger: Are Spurs fans ready for a harsh winter?
Fans spoiled by two decades of great Spurs teams will have to take solace this season in little victories, such as Devin Vassell’s development as a three-level scorer and team leader.SAN ANTONIO — Gregg Popovich, a man known to embrace misery, will make it through this. So too will the five teenagers about to learn some harsh lessons about what it takes to win in the NBA.Who I worry about most is you, the devoted Spurs fan. You might think you’re ready for the next six months.
Emotionally, are you prepared to watch 82 games in a row in which Popovich and his players will coach and compete to win, of course, but in which winning isn’t the main objective? As much as you grasp the concept that a poor record stands to help the franchise in the long run, how are you going to deal with night after night of apparent on-court failure?It’s rougher than you think.
But boy, that’s going to require quite an attitude adjustment, isn’t it? No group of fans in all of professional sports is more unschooled in recalibrating expectations than you are. Yankees loyalists have had plenty of rough patches. Plenty of Patriots supporters remember when they were a punchline.No team in NBA history has a greater all-time winning percentage than the Spurs’ mark of.611.
