Why San Antonio will make an early exit in the NBA Playoffs.

April 15, 2010 by  

The San Antonio Spurs have been the pinnacle of basketball in Central/South Texas for  years now.  The problem I feel they have run into is their inability to reload their team as well as everyone else in the Western Conference.  The real problem is that the Spurs are just old. The average age of their starters is 29 years old.  Thats pretty hardcore if you ask me…especially since George Hill is only 23 years old.  Average age without him is pretty much 30 years old.   The upside is that they really started out horrible this season and to be honest I really didn’t think they would be making the playoffs in the first place.  The fact that they made it in is an accomplishment in itself.  Well they get the Dallas Mavericks first found which really does not sound like fun to me.  Its going to be great for fans, but not so great for the San Antonio Spurs.  The Mavericks lead the series this season 3-1 and the last time San Antonio beat Dallas was back in mid-November.  The last game they played was actually last night and the Mavericks won by 7 points 96-89 as we got a little preview of whats to come int he playoffs no doubt.  Should be an interesting series that gets heated at times.  When push comes to shove though, San Antonio is just too old to make any kind of run in the playoffs.
