Youth and inexperience don’t explain why the Spurs’ can’t hold a lead

Marilyn Dubinski: Some of it is definitely a youth issue and learning how to build off leads instead of using them as a reason to relax, but blowing double-digit leads at home is something some teams don’t even do twice in a season. The fact that it has happened in six of the San Antonio Spurs’ home losses borders on inexcusable for any professional sports team no matter how young, and especially against a depleted team like Memphis. I’m usually a “trust the process” person and not one to question a Hall of Fame head coach, but it does start begging the question if something either needs to be changed up (like lineups or rotations), or if whatever he’s doing at halftime isn’t inspiring his team to come back out strong enough.
