At 33-26, the Spurs are coming off an extended (and much-needed) break and looking to welcome Derrick White back into the fold. They boast the league’s sixth-best offense and are on pace for 46 wins despite losing their other starting point guard for the year to an ACL tear. Even after losing four of their last five, things could certainly be worse in what has been, by all accounts, a down season in San Antonio.
That said, there are still ways the team can improve its situation and position itself to not only extend the franchise playoff streak but make a bigger splash than last year’s gentleman’s sweep at the hands of the future champion Warriors.
