Spurs best team in the west?

So the Spurs are the best team in the west right now? Huh, who knew...

Comments

They’ve quietly moved in the top 10 teams in terms of defensive efficiency(not in Hollinger’s ratings, he has them 11th or 12th I think), while maintaining their 5th-place offense(Hollinger has them 4th). They’re slowly getting better.

The Spurs - now playing like sh*t again!

Out of our next four games (MIA, WSH, TOR, DET @ 52-69), our two toughest opp are Miami (16-12) and Toronto (15-17 and a SEGABABA). This is the beginning of the end of our cupcake diet…

From there to the end of January we see: Dallas, New Jersey, Lakers, @OKC, @Charlotte, @Memphis, @New Orleans, Utah, Houston, Chicago, Atlanta, Memphis, and Denver.

The Lakers and OKC games are back-to-back and so are the Charlotte and Memphis games. The Spurs play four games in five days and three of those are on the road.

I agree that they’re slowly getting better but January is a tough mid-term. And we better pray they play well and continue to improve because the rodeo road trip is right after that.

Word. Yea Hollingers machine must have a mechanism that does not allow for a team to be dinged too harshly for a close loss against a good competitor. San Antonio has been in just about every game that they have lost….
