Hope Is Not a Strategy—But It’s All the Spurs Have Left
The Spurs are 31-43 following Sunday’s 148-106 home loss to the Warriors. Losers of four straight, the Silver and Black sit in 13th place in the Western Conference, four and a half games behind 10th place Sacramento with eight games remaining.
While the Spurs are mathematically still in contention for a play-in tournament spot, without VDub and De’Aaron Fox their path is arduous at best. Five out of the last eight games are against teams with solid playoff footing, including games against Denver, Cleveland, LA Clippers, and Golden State Warriors.
It doesn’t help that five out of the last eight games are on the road where the Silver and Black are an abysmal 11-24.
While year two of the VDub era hasn’t gone as planned, the Spurs have won nine more games than last season….I suppose progress is being made.
