Originally set on making the playoffs, the San Antonio Spurs now look bound for the lottery. They’re three and eight over their past eleven games and have sunk far out of playoff contention.
Even as the Spurs have struggled, head coach Gregg Popovich has gone with the same starters night after night. No matter the defensive issues, he seems committed to keeping his starters together.
It was fun to see Lonnie Walker get two more starts just before the All-Star break but that won’t be a regular thing once DeMar DeRozan is healthy.
