    In 1996-97, after years of falling short in attempts to get out of the west led by David Robinson, the Spurs were at a clear impasse, hope looked bleak with an aging David Robinson, a revitalized Rockets team, an up-and-coming Lakers squad, and the ever formidable Sonics and the ageless Jazz.

    Then the Spurs got their break, in Robinson's ACL, knocking him out for the season. They finished with 17 wins and won the #1 overall pick, Tim Duncan.

    Who's to say that Harden's Hamstring won't suffer some "complications", while Paul's Achillies flares up for the next 6 months, leaving only Clint Capela, PJ Tucker, and a bunch of bums out there to get blown out every night on the road to Zion Williamson? ;)
