Even if they have a largely negative record (34v-46d), lower than that of the Knicks and Wizards for example, the Spurs are not yet on vacation, and they could even start the playoffs in a week!
This will require them to win two matches in the “play-in”, first against the Pelicans and then against the loser of the meeting between the Wolves and the Clippers. San Antonio are far from favorites to challenge the Suns in the first round, but they are among the in-form teams with seven wins in nine games, including five in a row away from home. Proof that the team knows how to travel, and that it is ready to seek its qualification in New Orleans if the positions do not move, then in Minnesota or Los Angeles.
“For me, there’s really no difference between playing away and playing at home,” assure Jakob Poeltl. “Obviously at home you have the support of your own fans, and that helps you get going. But on the go, there’s like this mentality of being the bad guy, like you’re fighting everyone, and that helps you move on too. Personally, I feel very comfortable outside. »
Snubbed by TVs this season
For the first time this season, Spurs will be shown on ESPN, and they already know the next game will be on TNT. Ideal to show your progress and that this qualification for the “play-in” is not stolen.
“We are very satisfied because it was our objective to go to the play-in” acknowledged Devin Vassell. “But we are not satisfied with that. We want to make some noise and go to the playoffs. This is our main objective. »
The concern is that Dejounte Murray is missing, very weak and absent since March 31. It was his absence that turned out to be a blessing in disguise for his teammates to raise their level of play.
“We play as a team, and that’s the most important thing. Everyone supports each other in defense, and we all play with confidence. concludes Vassell.
