End of the Line for the Spurs Dynasty?

Not only have the Lakers played the fewest games of all the remaining NBA Playoff teams, the arthritic Spurs were stuck on their charter plane last night. I have been in awe of the Spurs, and what they've accomplished over the last 10 years has been amazing: Made the Playoffs every year since Duncan was drafted, 4 NBA Titles, continual upgrades of their role players, and perhaps the best coach in the game. But tonight could be the beginning of the end of the line. Kobe's finally figured out how to make others around him better and is hungry to prove he can win without Shaq. Odom and Gasol represent great #2 and #3 options, and they too have strong role players. They play great defense, and they also have one of the best coaches in the game. I'm not ready to predict anything until the teams take the floor, but this Series is going to be amazing. That's a guarantee.
