The Spurs are currently walking a very fine line. After yet another opportunity to gain ground in the standings was missed by blowing a 25-point lead in Houston, they are sitting back at 12th in the West with a 10-16 record, and yet remain just 2 games behind the 8th seed thanks to a relatively down year for the league’s perennially-superior conference. In other words, a little winning streak would go a very long way.
This team knows what it takes if they want to reach a record 23rd-straight postseason, but the insistent question that’s being increasingly asked is: Can they actually do it?
