Spurs Get Off to a Rough Start

The 1-5 San Antonio Spurs have been struggling throughout this off-season. Is this any indication to what awaits he team once the regular season starts? Not likely. They don?t call it preseason for nothing. This is the time for the coaches to try out different things and different lineups.

One of the reasons why the Spurs did so poorly is the fact that they had to do without their main go-to-guy, Tim Duncan for a while. Still, people expect the Spurs to have a better record than 1-5 considering the competition they had to face.

If you are a Spurs fan, you have nothing to worry about. Once the season starts on November 2nd, you?ll see why so many experts have them pegged as favorites to repeat as world champions.
