With a quarter of the season already in the books, things are not looking good for the Spurs. We are likely heading for the worst full season of the Gregg Popovich era, and it’s hard to find much to be optimistic about.
The team seems to be fundamentally flawed. There’s clearly not enough defensive talent to fall back on when a lack of chemistry and an outdated shot profile cause the offense to sputter. The overall lack of versatility across the roster is galling. You can see Pop has found it hard to find any rotations that work.
