After a perfect start of the season, the Spurs came crashing back to earth, dropping three of their last four games. The losses were not pretty, as they revealed an all too familiar propensity to not play well for the full 48 minutes, something that haunted last year’s version of the team.
Fortunately it’s still incredibly early in the season and there have been a lot of positives so far. Dejounte Murray looks like a potential star; Trey Lyles has emerged as a decent stopgap starter; the Spurs have a winning record despite shooting poorly. There’s clearly a lot of work left to do, but San Antonio should keep improving.
