It’s been a rough start to the season for the San Antonio Spurs – who bring a 14-and-19 record into Saturday night’s game against the Bucks.  It’s also been a long time since the Spurs were under .500 this deep into any season. The Spurs are 3-2 in their last five games, including a loss last night to Oklahoma City. They meet a Bucks team many think is the best in the N-B-A, with a 31-5 record. Giannis Antetokounmpo was just named N-B-A Player of the Month for the sixth time in the last seven months.  Milwaukee coach Mike Budenholzer was named Coach of the Month for December.

Former Green Bay Packers safety Leroy Butler is listed among 15 modern-era finalists for induction into the Pro Football Hall of Fame.  His wait has been a little longer than it was for some of his peers.
