The San Antonio Spurs currently sit at 12-10 and in the 8th seed in the Wild Wild West, where only 3.5 games separate the 4th and 14th seeds (whoever told you normality would return with 2021 was obviously lying), and what more evidence does the NBA need to abolish conferences than this? It’s been a roller coaster ride for the team this season. While they certainly play a more exciting brand of basketball than in recent years, their performance still varies wildly from game-to-game, quarter-to-quarter, and even lineup-to-lineup.
In fact, there may have never been a team whose performance swings more wildly based on who’s on the court than these Spurs.
