Know what, the way the Spurs played against the Thunder, Jazz and Nuggets the presence of Leonard would not mattered they would have lost just the same. There are so many players performng below par. It's hard to comprehend why until now they have not made changes. At least 6 players were disgusting disappointments namely Neal, Green, Diaw, Jackson,deColo and Bonner. Blair did not play the last time. The last tim they played with Hornets is was closed and they barely won. Have the Spurs given up or they are just saving their $ for another day?

@rtesoro440 "Have the Spurs given up?" What kind of dumb question is that?! Have you not realized how many times they've been on the road? Also, they haven't had many days of rest as much as other teams and yet, they still have a strong record of 19-8. The Spurs were tired. Thankfully, they have a 2-day rest right now. They'll be ready for the Hornets. I expect it to be a double digit win, especially since it's at home. You really need to think before you comment.

 @Emicris  @rtesoro440 All teams travel. Every player gets tired. Why only some fans of the Spurs like complain. If you have any observatiions in the scheduling please address it to the nba commission. The Hornets are lightweight, bunch of puppies. The Spurs should be pitted agains the likes of the Thunder, Clippers, Heat, Jazz and Nuggets.

 @rtesoro440 It's early regular season. The only players who have been consistent dissapointments are Blair and Diaw. De Colo has shown significant improvement, Jax was injured, Neal is having to fill a role he has no right filling and Bonner is doing what he has always done.
