The play of Rudy Gay may be crucial to the Spurs’ playoff hopes. The West is so tightly contested that every game means something.
They are just two games back from the 8-seed, currently held by the Dallas Mavericks. However, there is still light at the end of the tunnel for the Spurs. The only teams with worse records are the Utah Jazz (13-15), the imploding Houston Rockets (11-14) and the rebuilding Phoenix Suns (4-23). They have a 13-14 record, which is good for 11th in the Western Conference, tied with the Minnesota Timberwolves. While these numbers are nice, they have not resulted in enough wins for the Spurs this season. On top of this, he is averaging 7.0 rebounds per game, up from the 5.1 boards he averaged last season. He has taken to the role well, averaging 13.9 points per game this season, up from 11.5 per game last season. Rudy Gay has been relegated to third option on the San Antonio Spurs behind two stars in DeMar DeRozan and LaMarcus Aldridge.
