For almost 20 years the San Antonio Spurs Y Gregg Popovich they were namesake of win Y success in the nba. Five rings, six Finals, constantly in the playoffs. It’s impossible to ask more of a franchise that in its entire previous history had only reached four Western finals. It was to be expected that when Tim Duncan and the company was going to retire picks to win would decrease, but the Texans’ descent into the abyss is steeper than expected, with problems on and off the field.
The spurs sink into a reconstruction overall, trying to find the young player to turn the current situation around and give meaning to a winning project. With a team full of youngsters like Devin Vassell, Keldon Johnson or Jeremy Sochan The Texans are confident about their chances for the future. The problem is that his present is not promising and the best reflection of this is given by the daily results.

On the day from December 2 to 3 San Antonio found itself outmatched once againthis time from the New Orleans Pelicans, They had no trouble beating them 117-99 with 30 points from Zion Williamson. This loss wasn’t one yet, at least statistically for Gregg Popovich.
And that’s it for the first time in 26 campaigns that Pop leads the Spurs, the team added 10 games in a row without knowing the victory. An extremely negative streak that shows the deep problem and moment the organization is experiencing.
The last time San Antonio had such an error was between February and March 1989, when David Robinson hadn’t even debuted in the NBA. More than 30 years removed from streaks of this type that now tarnish Popovich’s flawless record.

“I’m here. Don’t ask me that question. It’s disrespectful to me and my teammates. I wear this jersey every day.
To say I don’t want to be here is disrespectful to the organization, the coaching staff, myself and everyone who worked hard to get me on the field. Don’t ask me this question. I am her. I’m going out in this uniform. And as long as I’m here, I’ll give it my all until the last second of the match.”
