If you’ve followed the Spurs for any decent amount of time, you’ve probably heard Gregg Popovich and his players explain that the team’s goal is to always keep incrementally improving and building, with the idea that they’ll peak in the playoffs. It’s a noble, sensible aim.
It’s also a bunch of baloney.
Stick Pop with some truth serum and ask him if it was possible for him to bottle how the Spurs are playing at this moment, or to simply skip ahead to mid-April right now, and I guarantee you he’d take it, no questions asked.
