San Antonio comes up short in the season premiere of The Joe Gaither Show

Let's kick off the season on “The Joe Gaither Show on SpurCentral” as Matt Guzman joins us to analyze the San Antonio Spurs' season-opening game against the Dallas Mavericks.

Guzman gets us going by discussing the biggest takeaways from Thursday night's 120-109 loss to the Mavericks. It details standouts and things San Antonio needs to address as the season progresses. We're dedicating an extra moment to Victor Wembanyama, Stephon Castle and Chris Paul as they are three of the most intriguing players in Spurs' squad this year. How did the trio play? What does everyone need to improve?

We're putting game one in the rearview mirror as the Spurs have 81 games left this season, starting with four games in the Western Conference next week. What will San Antonio do with the next four games? Is it unusual to play against a team twice in a row? Guzman explains the matchup with the Rockets in detail, as both franchises find themselves in a similar situation at the beginning of the year.

The show concludes by discussing the historic moment on Tuesday when Lebron James played with Bronny James for the Los Angeles Lakers.
