Let’s not sugarcoat it: the Spurs have been playing some bad basketball in 2023. The franchise high 14-game losing streak has been the talk of the fan base in the days leading up to the All-Star break, but if you look at the new calendar year as a whole, San Antonio is 2-21. Yeesh.
Yes, this stretch has not been fun to watch, but it has not been without its bright spots. Zach Collins has stepped up as a real playmaking threat in the starting five after the Jakob Poeltl trade. Jeremy Sochan has started to find his footing as an NBA player.
