This season has been a wild ride for the San Antonio Spurs. It took some time for the team to build chemistry and learn the system instilled by Gregg Popovich, but things are evening out now. The Western Conference standings never seem to stay the same for more than a day, but San Antonio has hovered between the fifth and seventh seed over the last few weeks, making them a well-respected playoff contender once again.
After the Spurs focused almost entirely on defense last year, the 2018-19 squad has returned to their traditional gun slinging ways with a fiery lineup of spot up shooters and intelligent ball handlers anchored by All-NBA power forward LaMarcus Aldridge.
