Well, I certainly didn’t see this coming.
I figured the Spurs’ starting lineup would have to work out the kinks and take a couple weeks if not a couple months to get their chemistry down, what with Tony Parker and Danny Green missing most or all of the first ten games. Frankly, I had my doubts they would ever work well as a quintet, with Kawhi Leonard’s stardom demanding a high usage rate and wings of his quality typically needing their point guards to be spot-up shooters from the three-point line and little else.
