The Spurs are 2-1 after their first three games and have the ninth best net rating in the league. It’s an unexpected start to the season for a team that is missing one of its best players and was supposed to be in a transition period.
What do you think is the main reason why the Spurs have played so well so far?
Marilyn Dubinski: I give a lot of credit to the scheme and personnel change. The quick pace is allowing the Spurs to get past defenses before they can get set. Just like in the Bubble, the young guns are slashing to the rim and either finishing or forcing the defense to collapse and finding the open man.
