Last night’s opening loss to the Suns left me ambivalent. The Spurs didn’t play all too well, and it’s impossible to make meaningful judgments with so little data. It is, as they, only one game.

The Spurs haven’t caught many breaks these last several months. Manu Ginobili was hampered by injury in the playoffs, and then fall to injury during the Olympics.

As some of you may have noticed, the production of new content here at 48 Minutes of Hell has come to a relative stand still. If you missed my message earlier this month, the reason for this is because I currently work for one of the presidential campaigns and therefore am pretty much swamped 24/7 [...]
