The Spurs lost to the Warriors last night, and it was big news in the Bay Area.

Normally I'd be disappointed, except that it just doesn't matter.

So what does matter?

• I got to see this game with the other SpursDynasty writers. Michael, thanks for extending your long weekend.
  
• This was just one game in an 82-game season. Gotta keep things in perspective.
  
• Only the Utah Jazz have a better record than the Spurs (although the Mavericks are catching up very quickly). The Spurs and Jazz play tonight, and the oddsmakers favor the Spurs by a point.
  
• Golden State is hot right now, having beaten the two best teams in the NBA -- Utah and San Antonio -- in the past three days.
  
• The Spurs had not lost on the road until last night, so they were due.
  
• It would have been a different game had Manu Ginobili and Baron Davis not been injured.
  
• The Spurs continue to fair poorly in back-to-back games.
