As Manu Ginobili accurately pointed out following their most recent win in Houston, the Spurs may not be as good as they appeared in the first week of the season (yet), but they aren’t as bad as their recent struggles at home suggest, either. It’s all about not panicking and simply getting better every game.
With Tony Parker back to manage the game, Danny Green helping out on the perimeter, and Patty Mills playing his best role as spark plug off the bench, Kawhi Leonard can hopefully gain a better understanding of when to take over on offense versus just going with the flow, and the Spurs’ precipitant fall in the Power Rankings should end here.
