If memory serves, this season was supposed to be about the Spurs' coronation--as what, we may never know. A team for the ages, perhaps. Or maybe the last great dynasty until a new era of parity sets in. Or at least "Team of the Decade," given that they could have been going for their fourth straight championship this spring, if not for a fluky heave by a first-rate second-string point guard named Derek Fisher in the 2004 Western Conference semifinals.

All that is moot now. It tells you how fragile this dynasty business can be if Tim Duncan can be so cramped from dehydration that he's outplayed by the legendary DeSagana Diop in the overtime of a Game 7.
