Things might be looking down for the San Antonio Spurs right now, but you can never count out a team lead by Gregg Popovich.
The lead-up to the 2018-19 NBA season has been a devastating time for San Antonio Spurs fans. The Spurs once could claim that they had three promising young guards in Lonnie Walker IV, Dejounte Murray and Derrick White, but one by one, they all ended up on the shelf.
