Well you can color me a moron if you want, but if you insist on doing that then color me Purple, Gold, and Green. As far as inexplicability goes, it's quite explainable...I'm juiced on Jazz Koolaid. Take TD out of the equation and how many titles have they won? zero.
So the Spurs without Tim Duncan have gone to the playoffs mutiple years without winning...kind of like our Utah Jazz. I will give you that they are a model franchise. You could even argue that we followed their model, just as they supposedly followed ours in the 90's and 00's. If I were on a Spurs fan site I would totally understand your point. But I'm a Jazz fan, and I am unapologetically biased towards this team.
