Spurs Struggle to Find Footing in 2025: Playoff Dreams Still Alive
2025: A Rocky Start for the Spurs
The boys in Black and Silver have had a challenging beginning to the year. Sitting at 19-22, the Spurs remain in the playoff hunt, but a three-game losing streak—including back-to-back losses to the Grizzlies and a tough road defeat to Miami—has left fans concerned about their postseason prospects.
A Crowded Race in the West
With only 4.5 games separating teams ranked fifth through twelfth, the competition in the Western Conference is tight. The Spurs, once holding steady in the eighth spot, have dropped to twelfth after winning just three of their last ten games. Two three-game losing streaks in January haven’t helped their case.
Challenging Schedule Ahead
The road ahead doesn’t offer much relief. The Spurs will travel to Paris for a two-game series against the Indiana Pacers before returning home to face tough matchups against the Clippers and the Bucks. These games will test the team’s resilience and their ability to stay in the playoff conversation.
A Glimmer of Hope
Despite recent struggles, perspective is key. At this time last year, the Spurs were a dismal 8-34, with playoffs out of the question. With 42 games remaining and a much-improved record, the team has an opportunity to turn things around. A strong push in the second half of the season could make playoff dreams a reality.
