For better or worse, the last year has been full of surprises for the San Antonio Spurs. There have been some positives, such as Dejounte Murray‘s emergence and LaMarcus Aldridge‘s newfound affinity for three-pointers. Sadly, those positive surprises have been countered by a crushing losing streak and a consistent flirtation with missing the playoffs.
The Spurs will return to action this Friday against the Utah Jazz as they look to close out their brutal Rodeo Road Trip. San Antonio went one and five over the first six games of the trip, with their lone win coming on the final night of play before the break.
