马刺迎回了瓦塞尔，却失去了索汉(Jeremy Sochan)，同时还葬送了两场非常有希望赢下的比赛。
欢迎来到“每周回顾”：这是一个周一特辑，回顾 *圣安东尼奥马刺 *过去一周的表现，展望未来一周，以及更多内容。敬请欣赏！
第二周 : 马刺似乎在进攻端找到了缺少的一环——侵略性十足的克里斯·保罗，并在连续两场胜利中结束了上周的比赛，其中包括爆冷击败明尼苏达森林狼。
第三周：1胜3负 (4胜6负，西部第11)
104-116 负于洛杉矶快船
回顾 : 马刺在前两场比赛中积累的势头和进攻节奏似乎延续到了新的一周，他们在对阵缺少莱昂纳德的快船的比赛中，首节结束时就取得了26分的领先优势。然而，巧合与否，在第二节索汉因拇指骨折下场前后，一切都分崩离析，马刺葬送了巨大的领先优势，连胜就此终结。
回顾 : 索汉缺阵，斯蒂芬·卡斯尔(Stephon Castle)首发出场，火箭没有给马刺任何调整的时间。他们在洛杉矶下半场的糟糕表现延续到了休斯顿，早早便大幅落后，尽管下半场表现有所提升，但从未真正恢复过来。
118-105 胜波特兰开拓者
回顾 : 回到圣安东尼奥开始五连主，马刺终于从最近几场比赛中表现挣扎的替补阵容中获得了一些帮助。凯尔登·约翰逊、马拉基·布拉纳姆、扎克·科林斯和布雷克·韦斯利合砍58分，帮助球队取得了本周唯一一场胜利。不幸的是，伤病再次来袭，布拉纳姆因脚踝扭伤缺阵，二号位后卫的深度继续下降。
110-111 负于犹他爵士
回顾 : 一切都已准备就绪，马刺有望在前10场比赛中取得五成胜率，这在赛季开始前被大多数人认为是成功的。不幸的是，德文·瓦塞尔(Devin Vassell)的赛季首秀以及文班亚马(Victor Wembanyama)的三分球(9投6中！)和卡斯尔的职业生涯之夜都被马刺进攻端的低迷和比赛最后时刻过多的失误所破坏，最终输掉了一场本可以拿下的比赛。
球队实力排名
John Schuhmann, NBA.com — 第21位 (上周：第18位)
进攻效率: 108.0 (第26) 防守效率: 110.7 (第12) 净效率: -2.7 (第19) 节奏: 98.2 (第22)
在德文·瓦塞尔回归之前，马刺失去了杰里米·索汉(拇指骨折)。他们最近四场比赛输掉了三场，其中包括一场曾领先26分的比赛。
三个要点
马刺在周一与快船的比赛中取得的26分领先优势是本赛季输球球队中的最大领先优势，也是马刺在过去29个赛季有逐节数据的比赛中输球的第三大领先优势。在接下来的36分钟里，他们让快船在67次进攻中得到99分(每百回合148分)，尽管文班亚马在这段时间内送出了9次盖帽中的7次。
在周六输给爵士的比赛中，他又送出了7次盖帽，现在他将成为自1995-96赛季的迪肯贝·穆托姆博以来第一个场均至少4次盖帽的球员。当文班亚马不在场时，圣安东尼奥的对手在油漆区的命中率为61.4%。当他在场时，这个数字只有49.2%，包括当他在篮下护框时，对手在篮下的命中率仅为70投25中 (35.7%)。
瓦塞尔在周六完成了赛季首秀，在不到22分钟的替补出场时间里得到21分(13投8中)。随着索汉的缺阵以及卡斯尔(或瓦塞尔)的加入，马刺将在文班亚马周围拥有更好的空间，这应该让他能够更多地在篮筐附近活动。本赛季至今，他在每场比赛中至少有一半的出手来自油漆区外，周六的比例更是达到了赛季最高的80%(15投12中)。
上赛季马刺在NBA杯的战绩是0胜4负，而他们今年的第一场杯赛将是对阵上赛季7胜0负的球队。他们周五对阵湖人的比赛也是五连主的最后一场。
Brett Siegel, Clutch Points — 第23位 (上周：第19位)
格雷格·波波维奇的缺席是圣安东尼奥马刺目前最担心的问题。这位马刺的功勋教练最近遭遇了严重的健康问题，无限期缺阵，目前还没有关于他何时回归圣安东尼奥的具体时间表。更糟糕的是，马刺失去了因拇指骨折的索汉，而文班亚马目前在进攻端也难以发挥自己的作用。这支球队唯一的亮点是德文·瓦塞尔回归并在赛季首秀中替补出场得到21分。
即将到来: 11月12日(周一) vs 萨克拉门托国王；11月14日(周三) vs 华盛顿奇才；11月16日(周五) vs 洛杉矶湖人；11月17日(周六) @ 达拉斯独行侠
预测: 2胜2负 — 每次我对这支球队感到乐观时，他们都会让我失望，但这仍然不是一个糟糕的赛程。瓦塞尔的回归只会对马刺有所帮助，他们至少应该在主场击败奇才(尽管他们在对阵爵士的比赛中表明，他们仍然有可能在任何一个晚上输球)。我认为他们还会在与两支实力不错但并非顶尖的加州球队的比赛中赢下一场(最大的机会是湖人，尤其是如果安东尼·戴维斯缺阵的话)。

Week in Review: Injuries, decision-making derails Spurs’ rhythm
The Spurs got Vassell back but lost Jeremy Sochan, all while blowing two very winnable games.
Welcome to the Week in Review: a Monday feature that looks back at the week that was for the San Antonio Spurs, takes a look at the week ahead, and more. Enjoy!
Week 2: The Spurs appeared find the missing piece of their offense in an aggressive Chris Paul to end their week with consecutive wins, including an upset over the Minnesota Timberwolves.
Week 3: 1-3 (4-6, 11th in West)
104-116 loss at Los Angeles Clippers
Recap: The momentum and offensive rhythm the Spurs had gained in their prior two games appeared to carry over to a new week as they got out to 26-point lead by the end of the first quarter against the Kawhi Leonard-less Clippers, but coincidently or not, everything fell apart around the time one of the main facilitators of that momentum — Jeremy Sochan — was lost in the second quarter to a broken thumb, and the Spurs blew the massive lead to end their winning streak.
100-127 loss at Houston Rockets
Recap: With Sochan out and Stephon Castle making his debut as a starter, the Rockets gave the Spurs no time to adjust, and their terrible play from the second half in LA carried over to Houston as they got down big early and never really recovered despite a much better effort in the second half.
118-105 win vs. Portland Trail Blazers
Recap: Back in San Antonio to kick off a five-game homestand, the Spurs finally got some help from a bench unit that had struggled in recent games, receiving a combined 58 points from Keldon Johnson, Malaki Branham, Zach Collins and Blake Wesley to help lead them to their only win of the week. Unfortunately, the injury bug struck again as Branham was lost to an ankle sprain as the second unit’s guard depth continues to wane.
110-111 loss vs. Utah Jazz
Recap: Everything was set for the Spurs to get through their first 10 games of the season with a .500 record, which most would have considered a success coming into the season. Unfortunately, a successful season debut from Devin Vassell and career nights from Victor Wembanyama from three (6-9!) and Castle were spoiled by the Spurs’ offense going cold and making too many mistakes down the stretch to give up a winnable game.
Power Rankings
John Schuhmann, NBA.com— 21 (last week: 18)
OffRtg: 108.0 (26) DefRtg: 110.7 (12) NetRtg: -2.7 (19) Pace: 98.2 (22)
Before they got Devin Vassell back, the Spurs lost Jeremy Sochan to a broken thumb. They’ve also lost three of their last four games, including one they led by 26 points.
Three takeaways
The Spurs’ 26-point lead in LA on Monday was the largest for a losing team this season and the third largest for the Spurs in a game they lost in the 29 seasons for which we have play-by-play data. They allowed the Clippers to score 99 points on 67 possessions (148 per 100) over the final 36 minutes, even though Victor Wembanyama had seven of his nine blocks over that stretch.
He had seven more blocks in the Spurs’ loss to the Jazz on Saturday, and would now be the first player to average at least four blocks per game since Dikembe Mutombo in 1995-96. When Wembanyama’s been off the floor, San Antonio opponents have shot 61.4% in the paint. When he’s been on the floor, that number is just 49.2%, including just 25-for-70 (35.7%) at the rim when he’s been there to protect it.
Vassell made his season debut on Saturday, scoring 21 points (on 8-for-13 shooting) in less than 22 minutes off the bench. With Sochan out of the lineup and Stephon Castle (or Vassell) in, the Spurs will have better spacing around Wembanyama, which should allow him to operate more near the basket. He’s still taken at least half of his shots from outside the paint in every game this season, with that rate a season-high 80% (12/15) on Saturday.
The Spurs were 0-4 in the NBA Cup last season, and their first Cup game this year will be against the team that was 7-0. Their game against the Lakers on Friday is also the end of a five-game homestand.
Brett Siegel, Clutch Points— 23 (last week: 19)
Gregg Popovich’s absence is the main concern for the San Antonio Spurs right now. The long-time Spurs coach suffered a serious health concern recently and is out indefinitely, with no timetable given for when he could return to the sidelines in San Antonio. To make matters worse, the Spurs lost Jeremy Sochan to a broken thumb, and Victor Wembanyama is struggling to assert himself on offense right now. The only bright spot for this team is that Devin Vassell has retuned and scored 21 points off the bench in his first game of the season.
Coming up: Mon. 11/11 vs. Sacramento Kings; Wed. 11/13 vs. Washington Wizards; Fri. 11/15 vs. Los Angeles Lakers; Sat. 11/16 @ Dallas Mavericks
Prediction: 2-2 — Every time I get optimistic with this team, they let me down, but this still isn’t a bad schedule. Vassell’s return will only help the Spurs, and they should at least beat the Wizards at home (although they showed against the Jazz that they are still prone to a loss on any night). I also think they’ll take one of the two home games against decent-but-not-great California teams (best chance being the Lakers, especially if Anthony Davis is out).
