‘We made them look really good sometimes’ Wembanyama and the winless Spurs have plenty to figure out

Locked On Spurs - Daily Podcast On The San Antonio Spurs

Summary

The San Antonio Spurs face challenges early in the season, starting with two consecutive losses. Players and coaches reflect on the team's performance, highlighting issues such as missed offensive rebounds and defensive lapses that allowed opponents to capitalize. Victor Wembanyama, despite his impressive athleticism, experienced a rare block at the rim during a critical moment in the game against the Houston Rockets, underscoring the need for improved execution in high-pressure situations.

Coaches emphasize the importance of building good habits, noting that the team has not yet found its rhythm. The Spurs are adjusting to a three-guard lineup, which has raised questions about spacing and offensive efficiency. While some players express confidence in the lineup, concerns remain about its effectiveness in maximizing Wembanyama's potential. The coaching staff acknowledges the need for continued improvement as they prepare for a long season ahead, urging fans to remain patient and supportive.
