Analysis Brian Windhorst: “Spurs are a playoff contender”

Yea Cade is playing like a legitimate MVP candidate and the Pistons are currently only half a game back of OKC for the best record in the league after dismantling the Knicks in NY tonight (now 3-0 against them this season). Really impressive season they're having over there in Detroit tbh. Will be a really tough road test for us.

To go from worst to best this fast is unprecedented
We were solid last season, iirc 23-28 when Wemby went down.
19-18 before he started struggling in January.
That was with CP3 starting, we would've easily been a .500 team if Fox was on the roster from the start of the season and Wemby stayed healthy.
And we didn't have a backup big while we were still trying to win, which lost us a lot of games.

Would've been a 22->22->~40->~60 wins trajectory if DVT didn't happen. Actually, we'd probably be worse this season without Harper. Make it 55 wins trajectory.
OKC had a near-identical development, 22->24->40->57->68 wins over the last 5 seasons.
