What most Kings fans need to realize is that...
Even without Tim Duncan.
Even without a healthy Kawhi Leonard.
Even without a healthy Manu Ginobili
Even without a healthy Tony Parker.
The Spurs still have Gregg "Freaking" Popovich.
I've said this before, and I will say it again until the day I can't....Gregg "Freaking" Popovich can take a bunch of D-League Wannabes and coach them to the NBA playoffs. Not only coach them to the playoffs, but he can coach them to a top 4 seed, a deep playoff run, and even the championship. He is that darn good of a coach.
With that being said, I still enjoyed our guys' effort throughout the game. We didn't allow the Spurs to come in and just roll over us. We fought. We kept it close. We made things slightly uncomfortable for those Spurs. I can respect that.
Oh, and we can't forget that it was Gregg "Freaking" Popovich who praised Bogdan Bogdonavic with some great comments. That should tell you a lot right there...
The future is looking bright, Kings fans. Hang in there, we're almost back.
