You know, the Lakers’ loss makes you ponder the extent to which even the most talented teams rely on confidence. The certainty that this was their year seemed to slowly drain away from them under the heap of small but ominous events — including Dave DeBusschere’s death, which left Phil looking even more grey and tired than before. Meanwhile, the Spurs were merely struggling with their own propensity to let big leads slip away, which would ordinarily be a fatal problem but not compared to the signals that the universe seemed to be sending the Lakers.
I would never have picked DeBusschere to keel over at age 62. He was so tireless as a player, you really expected him to keep running forever.
