If we’re going to assume that the San Antonio Spurs have missed the playoffs for the first time in 22 seasons, then someone needs to take at least a portion of the blame. Even though they clawed their way into the playoffs last season as a seventh seed, taking the No. 2 seed Denver Nuggets to seven games before heading home in a first-round exit, it was evident that these were not the same Spurs we were used to.
There aren’t very few changes to make note of from last season to this one except for one big change: the general manager.
