The San Antonio Spurs are playing .500 basketball so far, but they may need to make some changes to earn a playoff spot in the loaded Western Conference.
As usual, the Western Conference is as stacked as it’s ever been this season. Heading into Saturday’s slate of games, 10 teams are sitting at .500 or better compared to six in the Eastern Conference. The San Antonio Spurs have been predictably unpredictable so far, dropping games to the bottom-dwelling Minnesota Timberwolves and a severely undermanned Rockets squad while also being the first team this season to defeat both L.A. teams on one road trip.
