I battle with having fun with the second.
On this second, the Spurs have gained eight video games in a row. They only beat the reigning NBA champions 3 times within the final two weeks. The group runs deep. In seven video games in a row, the had a unique lead scorer.
They at present have eight gamers scoring in double digits.
Pundits are saying they’re the perfect within the league.
The truth is, the one blemish on their document during the last three weeks is a loss in opposition to the New York Knicks that doesn’t rely towards their common season document.
So why I’m not leaping for pleasure?
Effectively, as head coach Mitch Johnson frequently states in interviews, the season continues to be younger. There may be a lot of floor to cowl. The Spurs nonetheless have some rising to do.
in an 82-game season, well being turns into an element. The Spurs began with accidents and weren’t totally wholesome till not too long ago, throughout this streak to be actual.
A completely wholesome Spurs is horrifying, and they’re nonetheless gelling.
It begs the question- are the Spurs taking part in their greatest basketball, or is the perfect but to return?
I used to be speaking to my neighbor who’s from Colorado and a religious Nuggets fan. His perception is that the Nuggets are nonetheless saving a few of their greatest play for later within the season, when rating issues and the playoffs are on the road. It’s a logical argument for a seasoned group to maintain some reserves within the tank for the lengthy haul.
By comparability, the Spurs appear to be pumping on all cylinders each night time. Is that sustainable?
For now, I have to take a breathe and benefit from the second. The Spurs are taking part in nice, and they’re constructing relationships that may proceed to bloom all through the season.
