Barring a miracle finish, the San Antonio Spurs are likely looking at a first-round playoff exit at best this season. While they’ve been playing better recently, their consistently inconsistent basketball doesn’t bode well for a potential series against the Utah Jazz or Phoenix Suns.
Obviously, I’d love to eat crow with that assessment. Who knows — if Derrick White’s injury isn’t as serious as it looked and the Spurs get hot at the right time, maybe they make some noise. Either way, it’s clear San Antonio will need to make a lot of changes this summer.
