The Spurs are multimillionaire players; have they grown complacent? Losing two games in a row to a team 20 games below .500 emphatically answers “Yes!” 

 

How motivated can Parker be with $64 million and Eva Longoria at home? 

 

Spurs are professionals. Spurs are expected to play hard to win all games against losing teams like the Thunder. When they do not, articles like this are written by fans who want them to bring back the glory days of past NBA Championships. 

 

6)   Spurs must create better Three-Point Shot Selections

 

  Spurs are 28 percent on three-point shots for their last two losses and 31 percent over the last nine games. Ball rotation has been slower resulting in poor three-point shot selection. 

 

Spurs were over 40 percent until the most recent 18 game interval. Mason is ice cold, scoreless against the Hornets in 22 minutes.  

 

 

Prediction: Spurs will prove to their fans they have the hearts of a champion by defeating the Cleveland Cavaliers (36-1 at home) for Cleveland’s second home loss of the year!
