The Spurs have a winning record after five games, which seemed extremely unlikely before the season started. It was clear that moving Dejounte Murray and sitting on a ton of cap space instead of replacing him or adding talent to the team was a sign that San Antonio was rebuilding. Even Gregg Popovich made it clear during media day that the goal was development.
For fans who reluctantly embraced the tank, the start of the season has to be confusing. After begrudgingly accepting that the team was going to lose, wins might feel weirdly bittersweet. But there’s no reason to stop enjoying them or accept that every defeat is created equal, either.
