Let’s be clear about something right from the jump...the win streak doesn’t matter.
It’s fun, sure. We all like talking about the wins more than the losses. It serves as a tidy little anchor for any conversation about the Spurs recent run of form too. When someone questions your hypothesis that the Spurs are good again you can say, “hey, look, they’ve won nine straight games” and people will immediately wilt under the harsh light of this thunderous fact. It’s indisputable: Bad teams don’t win nine straight games, ergo the Spurs are good again.
The win streak doesn’t matter though.
