Thunder fans and the media spent all month talking about playoff “experience” just to watch their team give up a 20-0 run to a bunch of 20-year-olds in an elimination game. So I decided to write an article about how the young Spurs broke the experience rules and forced a Game 7.

Sweeney has long been a highly respected coach, so this isn’t the result of one successful year in SA. But as we saw throughout Pop’s tenure, with said success comes losing guys along the bench. He might be the first but probably won’t be the last over the long haul.

Good hire with interesting timing on the eve of Game 7 (Sweeney is staying with the Spurs through their run).
