Much of the talk heading into the new Spurs season has revolved around their running back of Bubble Ball, a style of play that made use of a smaller active roster that was missing two starting bigs by focusing more on pace and space (the latter being more theoretical than practical, as the team actually attempted fewer threes).
With both LaMarcus Aldridge and Trey Lyles back in the mix, San Antonio isn’t wavering from that new direction, one that led to a 5-3 record in Orlando and drew positive words from most members of the team during media week.
