BOSTON — Gregg Popovich is having fun.
His words, not mine.
“This is one of the more enjoyable seasons,” Popovich said on Sunday, hours before the Spurs drubbed the Celtics in Boston. “It’s been fun to watch [the team’s] development. It’s satisfying.”
So what’s been fun about this season? The Spurs are good, with 43 wins, a chance to eclipse last season’s 47 and an outside shot at reaching 50. But they are currently in a dogfight in the back half of the Western Conference playoff bracket (No. 7 heading into Tuesday's action), and a first–round exit is more likely than not.
