Spurs by Far

It is amazing to think in high school Tim Duncan was on the swim team.  The game on Sunday was Duncan's 126th game in which he had a double double  which is an NBA record which until Sunday was held by Kobe and Magic.  Here is a stat will drown you with numbers.  Duncan has played over  17,000 minutes of playoff basketball more than 14 NBA teams have played for their entire 17 year playoff record.

Duncan is the anchor of an organization which ought to be recognized as the best run team in pro sports.  This year is his option year and he has already told the Spurs he will return next year which will be his final.  Duncan has made a habit of taking less money year after year in order that his second team team mates can get more money.  What happened this year the Spurs  by far won this series  because they had the better second team.  They dominated when it was second team against second team.

What happened when Kobe took 28 million a year the Lakers didn't have enough money to pay me to sit on their bench.  The Heat paid their top three and didn't have enough money to win the title three times in a row when the other teams top three are just as good as theirs

Wednesday night Post 58 begin the surge to finish Legion season.  They play 10 games up until July 1st with the first eight all division games.  They finish the last two playing Eastern Wayne and Wilson.  You might ask why finish with two non division games but the answer is simple.  You don't want to be running out of days to play division games because of rain and not qualify because they don't have enough division games played.  You can always cancel a non division game and play a needed division game.  It's done all the time.
