The Spurs are the NBA’s biggest threat for one specific reason

I am sure you heard it loud and clear; the masses doubted the Spurs' shooting. Above all else, this was dubbed San Antonio's biggest flaw heading into the year. When people placed their bets of doubt against the Silver and Black, most cited their lack of shooting as the primary reason.

Yet, as we approach the playoffs, shooting really hasn't been an issue. A wide cast of Spurs were deemed "bad shooters," including standouts De'Aaron Fox and Stephon Castle.

The skepticism continues onto the bench, as players such as rookie Dylan Harper and veteran Keldon Johnson were disrespected. However, to the surprise of many, every one of these players has surpassed expectations and improved as shooters. So, do the Spurs have any flaws?

The Spurs have become a great three-point shooting team

If you are a Spurs skeptic, you would be shocked to learn that the squad is leading the NBA in three-point percentage in the month of March. This appalling statistic reflects how far the guys in Silver and Black have come and the work they have put in to get there.

This boost is a drastic improvement from where the Spurs started. San Antonio's 39.9% from beyond the arc in March is by far their best shooting compilation of the year. It also marks only the second time the Silver and Black were top 10 in the league in three-point shooting over the course of a month.

No matter what way you put it, this team is as hot as fish grease. San Antonio has found contributions from all over the place. Victor Wembanyama has been spraying threes at a higher clip.

Stephon Castle and Dylan Harper have found their shot, and Julian Champagnie is having yet another hot-shooting month. The list goes on. During this stretch, everybody has been pulling their own weight and contributing to the league-high mark.

The Spurs' hot shooting makes them the favorite

If the Spurs are defying their biggest "weakness," then you can't tell me that they aren't the favorite. Without any real flaw, what is the path for an opposing team to beat San Antonio? There may not be one.

If Mitch Johnson's squad is shooting like this, there is not a single team in the league that could take them down in a seven-game series. It's easy to anticipate this scorching shooting stretch to come to a close eventually, but what if it doesn't?

What if the Spurs take this and run with it? Most excitingly, what if the shooting upgrades we have seen from our young stars are everlasting? These are some hypotheticals that should get you extremely excited for what's to come.

Opposing teams should be scared if this is what the Spurs will look like come playoff time. Outside of some experience questions, San Antonio seriously has no flaws. There is nothing on this team to target and no reason to doubt this squad in any facet. It is truly frightening.
