I’m such a sucker.
The Spurs are coming off of a truly brutal stretch of basketball at one of the absolute worst times of the season to have such a stretch. Losing 7 games on the Rodeo Road Trip has caused them to slide all the way down into the muck and grime of a fight for the last two seeds in the Western Conference. They’ve shown an inability to consistently play effective defense or offense, two of the most important things you can do to win games, and they are running out of time to fix the myriad of other problems that seem to affect them night after night.
