Must See X’s & O’s of the Day – Gregg Popovich NBA San Antonio Spurs
The NBA San Antonio Spurs are a machine that just keeps rolling each and every season. Gregg Popovich has his team running a system that continues to evolve and just win. Over time, they have changed the players and the system, bu the finished product hasn’t changed. The NBA San Antonio Spurs are 36-6 and 18-3 in conference play.
The Golden State Warriors are on one of the best starts in NBA history and lead the Spur by just 2.5 games out in the Western Conference. All the NBA San Antonio Spurs care about and focus on is winning, and not just winning a regular season game against one of the elite teams in the NBA like the Cleveland Cavaliers, which they did on Thursday. The NBA San Antonio Spurs have one goadl and that is to hang a sixth championship banner from the rafters at AT&T Center.
The regular season, in which the Spurs are currently 35-6 is merely a stepping stone to their ultimate goal. That is why they don’t mind resting their starters on occasion. They really don’t look at their wins, they are just trying to be the same team every night.
NBA San Antonio Spurs has had this same consistency and mindset ever since Gregg Popovich took charge over 20 years ago, and dating back to last season, the Spurs have been a model of consistency at home where they haven’t lost since last march.
The last time, the NBA San Antonio Spurs lost a regular season home game was on March 20, 2015 which was against the Cleveland Cavaliers. The Cleveland Cavaliers are one of the best opponents that they play. They give them so many mismatches. They also play different than most other teams. When you have a guy like LeBron James, then the whole teams plays different. Kawhi does a great job of making him play uncomfortable.
The Spurs have a “next man up” attitude, something that James kept saying the Cavs had last year in the playoffs and Finals. Of course, Lebron James have had this philosophy when the Cavs were dealing with numerous different injuries. The NBA San Antonio Spurs basically do this in every game that they play.
The Golden State Warrriors might be on their way to 70 plus wins, but the NBA San Antonio Spurs aren’t far behind them in the West conference.
