The 6th seeded Spurs took a 3-2 lead into Game 6 Thursday night a home. The Clippers won on the road forcing a Game 7 in Los Angeles on Saturday. The defending champions had been in the last two NBA Finals losing to Miami in 7, then beating Miami in 5. They were my pick to play Cleveland in June. It will not manifest thanks the Chris Paul game winning off balance bank shot over Tim Duncan. The Clippers survived by 2 and advanced to the Western Conference Semifinals. The question is where does the core of the Spurs go from here ? This a franchise that has won 5 NBA Championships since 1999 and been in the Finals 6 times. Obviously father time plays a role with Tim Duncan, Tony Parker and Manu Ginobili. Also for guys like Kawhi Leonard the defending NBA Finals MVP and Danny Green are free agents. What will the front office of the Spurs do this summer ? What will the veterans decide to do as far as retiring or coming back ? What will Leonard and Green do with free agency knocking at their respective door ? Saturday night could it have been the last time we witnessed the San Antonio core as we know it ? Only time will tell.
