Let’s be honest.
The San Antonio Spurs have been overachieving this season. Why? They have been able to amass the second-best record in the NBA despite having an average backcourt.
If you think about the best teams in the league, all of them have a stellar backcourt.
The Golden State Warriors? Steph Curry and Klay Thompson.
The Cleveland Cavaliers? Kyrie Irving and JR Smith (or Kyle Korver).
The Houston Rockets? Patrick Beverly and James Harden.
The Boston Celtics? Isaiah Thomas and Avery Bradley.
The Washington Wizards? John Wall and Bradley Beal.
