Just five games in, the San Antonio Spurs have already made improvements from last year, but there’s still one major weakness to address.
While the San Antonio Spurs accumulated a 4-1 record at this time last year, this season’s team seems to have made some drastic improvements despite starting 2-3. Defensively, the Spurs find themselves more towards the middle of the pack in terms of defensive rating, but that is far better than last season’s 25th-place finish.
Offensively, the team is playing at a faster pace and sharing the ball tremendously.
