There’s two ways to look at last week’s FIGASENI, dubbed the most difficult week of the season: either it’s a success considering they went 3-2 despite four road games and three games against teams with winning records, or it’s a negative considering arguably could have gone 5-0 since both losses were against shorthanded teams, with one featuring the San Antonio Spurs doing something they rarely have this season: blow a double-digit lead. Regardless, coming into the week most probably would have considered this result a success, so take it and run.
Week 17: After a surprise win in Dallas thanks to a game-winner from DeMar DeRozan, the Spurs kicked off Week 17 facing the remaining games of the FIGASENI and managed to both disappoint and exceed expectations all at once, which seems pretty inline with this squad.
