3 Players who must step up in order for the Spurs to make the playoffs

At the halfway point of the season, the San Antonio Spurs sit at 19-23 and in 9th place in the Western Conference. For a team that has been accustomed to perennial success, this season has been a tough pill to swallow for Spurs fans and players alike.

Even if everything had gone exactly how the Spurs had hoped, making the playoffs still would have been a difficult task. With star’s paring up on both sides of the Staples Center, in Houston, young MVP candidates taking over in Dallas and Denver, and an Oklahoma City team playing well past its expected level, San Antonio’s route to the postseason was always going to be difficult.
