Gay offered that this time around, the team will have a much more streamlined approach to the season, not having to deal with the seed of doubt planted in them for the entire campaign. “Why were we expected to be so much better last year? Because Kawhi may have come back? He didn’t, and we were still a playoff team, really a couple of wins away from being a third or fourth seed in the West.” “How is that?” Gay said, when informed of the prediction, according to Tom Orsborn of the San Antonio Express-News.
