Up 3-0 against the Blazers, the Spurs have control, but they need to have animal control. Before Thursday's game in San Antonio, Portland's Thomas Robinson spotted a snake in his locker - meaning there was a moccasin in the very place he puts his moccasins. He threw a hissy fit when he saw the hissing reptile, leaping "five feet high and 20 feet back," because although snakes are legless, basketball players aren't.
By his own account, Robinson, who admitted he had only seen the creatures on the Discovery Channel, was rattled by the snake. Teammate Mo Williams confessed, "we was scared as hell," while Will Barton scaled a chair to escape the scaly beast, so it seems like these Trail Blazers mostly stick to the trail. It'll be difficult for them to crawl back in the series.
Coach Terry Stotts quipped it "sounds like an ABA story," but that tale would've been about snake-skin shoes. Those old-time players wanted the hide, while Stotts' lot wanted to hide.
