The San Antonio Spurs are in the postseason for the 22nd year in a row.
That is a particularly incredible achievement considering they’ve had to overcome adversity all season long and were dealing with more roster turnover than they ever have during the Gregg Popovich era.
Unlike last season when the Kawhi Leonard-less Spurs were ousted by the Warriors in the first round, San Antonio has another star alongside LaMarcus Aldridge to help carry the offensive load down the stretch in close games in DeMar DeRozan.
