Wards of Greg Popovich still hope to get into the playoff zone. They have a chance. Indeed, in the standings of the Eastern Conference, they occupy 12th place. The gap from the tenth line is not so big and equals only two victories. But eliminating the handicap will be very difficult. After all, the Spurs are too unstable. They’ve been losing a lot lately. For example, in the last four fights they were defeated. Lost San Antonio to Phoenix (110:115), Golden State (120:124) and Memphis (110:118). Only Chicago beat the Spurs (131:122).
This year Madrid pleases its many fans. Real Madrid confidently passed the group stage in the Champions League, where the team was five points ahead of Inter and will soon start in the playoffs of the main club tournament in Europe. In addition, on account of the “creamy” there is the first trophy of 2022. In Saudi Arabia the “whites” won the Spanish Super Cup. On the way to the quarterfinals of the King’s Cup, Carlo Ancelotti’s wards did not meet resistance. At the first stage Alcoyano was defeated (3:1), after which Elche was sent overboard (2:1). In the La Liga tournament, the Galacticos are still in the lead. In 22 rounds the team has 15 wins and five peaceful outcomes, which brought 50 points, which is four more than the nearest pursuer. After an unexpected fiasco in the game with Getafe (0:1), the capital beat Valencia (4:1) and parted ways with Elche (2:2). Today will not be able to play Diaz and Marcelo, who has a disqualification.
