The Spurs are now a disappointing 3-7 after beginning their 2021-2022 season with a schedule that included matchups against bonafide playoff teams and lottery locks alike. Although San Antonio consistently brought a competitive fire into each game, this young roster failed to finish what they started on several occasions.
Besides an encouraging crunchtime victory over the shorthanded Bucks in which they smothered Giannis Antetokounmpo, the Silver and Black struggled to close out winnable contests. And with an anemic half-court offense, it’s no wonder why they couldn’t efficiently score the ball when things slowed down against set defenses.
Despite a less than ideal start for San Antonio, they have been a better club than their 13th place record probably suggests.
