The sliding Spurs
Yes, Gregg Popovich is still leading the team on the sidelines, but that’s where the similarities between these Spurs and the Spurs of old start and end. San Antonio entered tonight’s game with a 4-13 record and just 2.5 games back of the worst record in the Western Conference. They’ve lost eight of their last ten and are staring down the barrel of a six-game skid.
There’s a legitimate argument to be made that the Celtics are playing the worst Spurs team since 1997, the year they drafted Tim Duncan.
