Father Time Still Undefeated

The San Antonio Spurs are old. The Detroit Pistons looked old while being the only team to get swept out of the first round. Both teams became old overnight, and I mean that literally. Detroit was clearly out matched by a young, athletic, and energetic Cavs team. It almost looked like the father son game when the son becomes clearly better than the father. The Spurs, and Tim Duncan specifically, look like they've lost a step. Injuries linger longer. Back to back games become more difficult. Credit the Spurs for having the first dynasty in the post-Jordan era. They've enjoyed great success, but the Dallas Mavericks are clearly the younger, hungrier team and it's just a matter of time before that window finally closes....shut. Over the years we have witnessed many dynasties. The only one to never lose was Father Time.
