They have jumped to 8th(previously middle of the pack), defensively, as expected:tu
Hopefully the chemistry with Gasol continues to improve enough to finish in the top 5..

They have played a bunch of mediocre offenses the past 2 weeks, tbh.
-Wizard x2
-Magic
-Bulls
-Mavs
-Bucks
Wolves were the only team w/ a top 10 offense but Kawhi/LMA shut down KAT/Wiggins.
Pau made Robin Lopez & Gortat seem like Moses Malone, no amount of chemistry is going to solve his softness or lack of lateral movement.:rolleyes It was Dedmon that shutdown the Bucks while Pau was waving in Jabari/Giannis to the rim. LMA/Kawhi have picked it up but that's about it.

One takeaway from this post is that folks are changing their narrative about Kawhi having enough around him to contend.

They have jumped back all the way back to 4th in the Def-rating ranking, but it was mostly against below average/mediocre opposition..
The real test will be next week when they face the high-octane offenses of Houston (3rd OffRtg), Clippers (5th OffRtg) , Portland (8th OffRtg) on the trot, all on the road..

Here are some Spurs-related #s 1/4 through the season..obviously a tiny sample size + starters defend other starters and bench guys defend the opposing bench, which should be taken into consideration, of course(sorry for the shitty quality, uploaded on my phone:lol)
Filtered for possessions played, too, fyi..

One of the fattest PGs in the NBA(makes Tony look fit) destroying Pau in the pick&roll, as expected:lol

The pick and roll defense is an absolute horror show.
Any chance Popovich figures out he can't play the geriatrics in the lineup at the same time. Pau, Tony, and LMA together is going to get fucking picked apart easily by a good team.

Spurs are 3rd in Defense per 100 possessions. :flag:
Games against Suns/Blazers/Bulls helped to improve Spurs defensive numbers...

Media narrative on Kawhi 'but but he's hurting his team' because they're in campaign for Dray DPOY. But then...Cavs game happened.
Anyway, Spurs defense has a lot of flaws but Kawhi isn't one of them.
