The San Antonio Spurs finally know their exact path to another playoff berth. With 27 games down, they’ll have five more before the All-Star break on the weekend of March 6th to put them at 32. Their five postponed games, as we expected, will lead to more back-to-backs in the second half of the season, which is less than ideal for a team immune to winning on the back end of those.
The Spurs will need to squeeze in 40 games to meet the NBA’s mark of a 72-game season so will be playing more frequently than before to make up ground.
