Before I talk about a random Wednesday NBA night, I wanted to comment how enjoyable it was to have Devin Vassell and Tre Jones playing again for the Spurs. During the long losing streak, Spurs fans had to question how good this team would be even if the team “wins the draft” and makes a French Connection. Seeing Vassell and Jones back on the floor should help ease some of that despair — even good teams suffer when they are missing their only (for the Spurs) point guard and their best two-way player.
While their long absences certainly helped the Spurs’ race to the bottom, it certainly took a lot of the fun out of the season.
