OKLAHOMA CITY — With just over two minutes to go and the San Antonio Spurs down by 14 points, the back up players checked into the game meaning head coach Mitch Johnson was waving the white flag and giving up on Game Five of the Western Conference Finals. I was certainly disappointed to see them give up on the game, but with how they were playing on Tuesday night, there was little chance they were going to mount any kind of challenge anyway as the Oklahoma City Thunder went on to win 127-114. Full disclosure before continuing on: I’m a long time Spurs fan. Growing up about an hour ...
