The Kings are a bad match-up for the Spurs, and I don’t think that’s something we just learned last night. They are young, athletic, play at a quick pace, push the ball in transition regardless of whether it’s off a made or missed basket, and have a stockpile of good shooters. They are basically everything that makes life difficult for this iteration of the Spurs.
Fortunately, one thing they have not done is make the Spurs sweat for a spot in the playoffs. Unlike last season, there aren’t 3-4 teams vying for the last two spots with everything coming down to what happens on the closing nights.
