The Spurs had managed to complete a whopping run of 22 consecutive playoff appearances. However, it is over now and with it comes the end of the longest season in team history which is almost 300 days. This is something NBA is not used to seeing. The team had lost to Utah Jazz on Thursday night that rendered the game worthless in the footings. Popovich said that it makes no sense now to look at the past and regret but rather consider the victories that had been made possible due to the presence of some great players in the team. Spurs had been the premier franchise for the NBA for a long time. Till April 1997, never had the Spurs played a game knowing that the playoffs were out of reach.
