re: Will the spurs 50+win streak end this year?

This isn’t the same spurs. It’s not just injuries. Late game execution has been very bad. Offensively the spurs don’t have anybody outside of LMA who can create their own shot. And LMA might be out a little while with an ankle tweak.

Yup. Injuries have come and gone over the past couple decades, but this has got to be the least confident I've ever been in a Pop-coached Spurs team when it comes to execution. When they're on, they look like the old Spurs, but, man, when they struggle, it's more than just shots not going down. It's an absolute comedy of mostly unforced errors, and it's reflected in our record.

Yeah, Kawhi has been out, and he's been our primary engine late in games recently, but a hallmark of Spurs basketball over this run has been that even the bench guys can be counted on to come in and execute. Not seeing that this year.
