Well, it’s the holiday season, so hoop-de-do. And the Silver and Black will look to do just that, waltzing in off of another win over a likely Western Conference playoff seed, and into a pre-Christmas match-up against a Lakers squad that they haven’t been able to figure out despite playing a pair of close games against them.
There’s a bit of deja vu here, as the Spurs will once again be facing a team that is Covid-depleted, as well well as missing one of their best players in Anthony Davis due to an MCL sprain. And if that doesn’t set your alarm bells ringing, well, you must have missed the games against Charlotte and Sacramento, both teams who were similarly depleted, and then consequently ran the Spurs ragged.
