The Spurs have been an interesting team to watch this season. They defied all logic of today’s NBA reality by leaning far heavier on mid-range shots and fewer on threes and shots at the rim than any other team in the NBA. It’s what they had to do to build around the players they had, and for the most part it worked. They made the playoffs for the 22nd straight time in the tough Western Conference, at least started the series giving the 2nd-seeded Nuggets a heckuva fight (which they can still do if they wake back up), and have uncovered some very promising players for the future along the way.
