SP #52: The Spurs are sneaking up on respectability
J.R. Wilco and Charlie Thaddeus engage in a mid-season review of the Spurs by unpacking the phrase "sneaking up on respectability," looking at the results of LaMarcus Aldridge spacing the floor, compare Gregg Popovich's treatment of the press to George Orwell's 1984, realize that this season is about the future, discuss DeMar Derozan's record-breaking streak and how difficult it is to continuing indefinitely to play unsustainably well, talk about Dejounte Murray's game, and parse the merits of Wilco's superhero/alter-ego theory concerning Derrick White and Murray, before getting into the weekly Unnecessary Foolishness: the 21st century's equivalent of shooting free throws underhanded.

SP #51: The Spurs may be too naturally buoyant to miss the playoffs
Lonnie Walker has started his first game for the Spurs, and although there’s no guarantee that we’ve entered the Walker Era (or exited the Age of Forbes) the way the season is shaping up, San Antonio might be able to play .500 ball the rest of the way and still make it into the postseason.
In episode 51 of the Superfluous Poppycock podcast, J.R. Wilco and Charlie Thaddeus discuss the Spurs’ buoyancy, what Spurs fan should expect/want out of the rest of the season season vs. what’s realistic for the team to achieve, how LaMarcus Aldridge taking threes is like being told to eat your vegetables, how the team’s brutal upcoming schedule through January and February won’t necessarily doom them, why Bryn Forbes be back in the starting lineup very soon ... as well as a deep dive into Tim Duncan’s Assistant Coach Wardrobe, and the rookie mistake that he is making on the Spurs bench.
