Popovich is eagerly anticipating the team's performance, believing it will be a tough match. Before the game, he told everyone, "We will fight until the last second today, for victory."
But the result after the game started was that the Spurs were completely crushed by the Hawks!
The Spurs have the third-best defense this season, but their offense is unbelievably poor.
David Robinson has already lost most of his athletic ability, and now even Kevin Garnett can mock him as just a mid-range shooter.
Little General Johnson's individual ability and locker room charisma are no longer what they used to be.
Sean Elliott is no longer young and carries a transplanted kidney.
This Spurs team is just too old.
