As The Mountain Goats said, the most extraordinary thing in the world is the feeling of being in motion again. After three years of respectable mediocrity but also a lack of purpose or movement, the Spurs are finally picking a path and starting to walk it. The players they have drafted in recent years will play, and the chips will fall where they may. It’s refreshing.
It’s also, if we are to believe Gregg Popovich, purposeful. In what was surely the strongest statement he made on media day, Pop reassured fans that there was a plan and that the Spurs meant to put themselves in this position.
