The Rodeo Road Trip is an annual right of passage that every iteration of the San Antonio Spurs must endure. As this year’s group journeyed around the Western Conference, taking on some of the best teams in the league along the way, we did our best to keep expectations relatively low.
We knew that the near month-long road trip would test the Spurs and push the limits of their playoff candidacy, but it’s been somehow more frustrating than expected. The Spurs have won just one of their first six road contests. Their lone win of the RRT came on Tuesday night on the back of Dejounte Murray‘s career-best night.
