在文班缺阵的情况下，马刺似乎注定要再次进入乐透区。
欢迎来到“回顾一周”：这是一个周一的专题栏目，回顾过去一周 *圣安东尼奥马刺队 *的表现，展望未来一周的赛程等等。请尽情享受！
第17周 : 步履维艰的马刺在全明星周末前的最后两场比赛正如预期：一场丑陋但十分必要的战胜奇才的比赛，以及一场意料之中的输给凯尔特人的比赛，不过在面对卫冕冠军早早落后的大好局面下，马刺至少展现了一些斗志。
第18周：1胜2负（24胜31负，西部第12）
120-109战胜菲尼克斯太阳队（奥斯汀）
回顾 : 全明星周末归来，希望能够重振旗鼓，并为附加赛发起最后的冲击，但马刺却遭遇了令人心碎的消息， 维克托·文班亚马(Victor Wembanyama) 将因肩部血栓缺席本赛季剩余比赛。但这至少没有影响马刺一场比赛，因为他们能够克制太阳的小球阵容，并在奥斯汀对阵一支阻碍他们季后赛希望的球队时，展现出令人振奋的表现。
110-125负于底特律活塞队（奥斯汀）
回顾 : 在背靠背的第二场比赛中，马刺未能延续他们鼓舞人心的表现，面对一支身体对抗更强的活塞队，文班亚马的缺席开始显现。在早早落后之后，马刺依靠凯尔登·约翰逊的能量在第二节掀起了一波反击，但他们无法在下半场维持这种状态，最终耗尽了能量。
96-114负于新奥尔良鹈鹕队
回顾 : 在比赛间隙再次传来坏消息——这次是 格雷格·波波维奇(Gregg Popovich) 不仅本赛季不会从他的中风中恢复，而且他的未来仍然不确定——马刺在对阵一支受伤的鹈鹕队时表现强劲，一度领先多达17分。不幸的是，保持领先优势的的老问题再次出现，进攻在下半场变得冰冷，将原本舒适的领先优势变成了惨败。

实力榜
约翰·舒曼，NBA.com — 20（上周：21）
进攻效率: 112.1 (17) 防守效率: 114.1 (18) 净效率: -2.0 (19) 节奏: 100.1 (12)
维克托·文班亚马 缺席本赛季剩余比赛，马刺似乎将连续第六个赛季进入乐透区。
三个要点
在全明星周末前，当文班亚马在场时，马刺每100回合的失分比他不在场时少5.4分（110.0），而他不在场时为115.4。这虽然不如他上赛季在防守端的在场/不在场差值那么大（每100回合6.1分），但对于一个大部分时间都在防守其他首发球员的全职首发球员来说，仍然意义重大。
即使文班亚马参加了他们52场比赛中的46场，在全明星周末前，马刺的防守效率也只排在第19位。在没有他的最后30场比赛中，他们可能会连续第三个赛季成为防守效率排在联盟后10位的球队，而在之前的25个赛季中，他们只有一次在攻防两端都排在联盟后10位。
他们暂时上升了一个名次，上周他们将太阳和鹈鹕的每100回合得分限制在110分以下。当然，在周日的下半场，防守崩溃了（53回合丢了74分），马刺在新奥尔良挥霍了17分的领先优势。在过去两个赛季中，他们在领先两位数的情况下输掉了最多的比赛（他们的战绩为38胜32负）。
马刺将在新奥尔良再进行一场比赛，然后面对西部最好的三支球队。他们战胜了西部前七名中的六支球队，唯一的例外是灰熊队（他们将在周六访问灰熊队）。
布雷特·西格尔，Clutch Points — N/A（上周：22）
即将到来
未来赛程： 周二2/25在新奥尔良对阵鹈鹕队；周三2/26在休斯顿对阵火箭队；周六3/1在孟菲斯对阵灰熊队；周日3/2对阵俄克拉荷马城雷霆队
预测：1胜3负—— 这真是一段艰难的赛程。即使是结束Rodeo Road Trip（牛仔客场之旅）后，回到主场也恰好要面对西部最好的球队。我的预测中唯一的一场胜利是基于这样一种想法，即糟糕的球队（在这种情况下，是鹈鹕队）很少会横扫系列赛，并希望马刺在第二场比赛中，能够像他们在对阵新奥尔良的第一场比赛的上半场那样表现。

Week in Review: Results fall to the backburner in rough news week for Spurs
The Spurs appear destined for another lottery season with Wemby out.
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 17: The struggling Spurs’ final two games before the All-Star break went as expected: an ugly but much-needed win over the Wizards, followed by an expected loss to the Celtics, where the Spurs at least showed some fight after getting down big early to the defending champions.
Week 18: 1-2 (24-31, 12th in West)
120-109 win vs. Phoenix Suns (Austin)
Recap: Returning from the All-Star break hoping to right the ship and a make a final push for the play-in, the Spurs were slapped with the heartbreaking news that Victor Wembanyama would miss the remainder of the season with a blood clot in his shoulder. That didn’t hurt the Spurs for at least one game, as they were able to counter the Suns’ small-ball lineups and put on an inspiring performance in Austin against one of the teams standing in the way of their fading postseason hopes.
110-125 loss vs. Detroit Pistons (Austin)
Recap: The Spurs couldn’t keep up their inspiring play on the second night of a back-to-back against a much more physical Pistons squad, as Wemby’s absence started to show. After getting down early, the Spurs made a roaring comeback while riding Keldon Johnson’s energy in the second quarter, but they couldn’t sustain that level of play in the second half as they ran out of gas.
96-114 loss at New Orleans Pelicans
Recap: Again hit with rough news between games — in this case, not only will Gregg Popovich not return from his stroke this season, but his future remains uncertain — the Spurs came out strong against an injured Pelicans squad and got up by as much as 17 points. Unfortunately, the same old issue of maintaining leads came back to bite as the offense went ice cold in the second half, turning a comfortable lead into a blowout loss.
Power Rankings
John Schuhmann, NBA.com— 20 (last week: 21)
OffRtg: 112.1 (17) DefRtg: 114.1 (18) NetRtg: -2.0 (19) Pace: 100.1 (12)
Victor Wembanyama is out for the rest of the season and the Spurs appear to be Lottery-bound for the sixth straight season.
Three takeaways
Before the All-Star break, the Spurs had allowed 5.4 fewer points per 100 possessions with Wembanyama on the floor (110.0) than they had with him off the floor (115.4). That’s not quite as big as his on-off differential on defense last season (6.1 per 100), but still big for a full-time starter who’s mostly defending against other starters.
Even with Wembanyama playing 46 of their 52 games, the Spurs ranked 19th defensively at the break. Without him for the final 30, they may have a bottom-10 defense for a third straight season after ranking in the bottom 10 on either end of the floor just once in the 25 seasons prior.
They’ve moved up a spot for now, having held the Suns and Pelicans under 110 points per 100 possessions last week. Of course, the defense fell apart (74 points allowed on 53 possessions) in the second half on Sunday, as the Spurs blew a 17-point lead in New Orleans. They continue to have the most losses (they’re 38-32) after leading by double-digits over the last two seasons.
The Spurs will have another game in New Orleans and then face three of the best teams in the West. They have wins over six of the top seven teams in the conference, with the exception being the Grizzlies (who they’ll visit on Saturday).
Brett Siegel, Clutch Points — N/A (last week: 22)
Coming soon
Coming up: Tues. 2/25 at New Orleans Pelicans; Wed. 2/26 at Houston Rockets; Sat. 3/1 at Memphis Grizzlies; Sun 3/2 vs. Oklahoma City Thunder
Prediction: 1-3 — Talk about a tough stretch. Even the much-needed return home from the Rodeo Road Trip to end the week happens to be against the best team in the West. The one win in my prediction is banking on the idea that bad teams (in this case, the Pelicans) rarely sweep miniseries while hoping the Spurs play more like they did in the first half of Game 1 in New Orleans for the entirety of Game 2.
