The San Antonio Spurs are off to a solid start in 2015-16, but here are five specific takeaways so far.

Through the first 15 games of the 2015-16 NBA season, the San Antonio Spurs are off to a terrific 12-3 start. They’re winning by an average of 8.9 points per game, they’ve enjoyed the addition of superstar LaMarcus Aldridge and despite a different looking roster, it’s business as usual down by the River Walk.
