The opening of the 2021-22 season represented the dawn of a new era for the San Antonio Spurs, and for the most part they did not disappoint. The “Youth Movement” Spurs opened with an expected record of 1-2, with an opening night blowout win over a depleted Orlando Magic team, followed by scheduled losses in Denver against the reigning MVP Nikola Jokic and back at home against the defending champion Milwaukee Bucks on a SEGABABA.
Of course, there’s more to this team than meets the eye, and despite the expected losing record for opening week, so far they have passed the eye test.
