When the San Antonio Spurs take the floor every season there are two things likely to happen: they will make the playoffs and they will win the Southwest division title in the Western Conference. San Antonio has won 22 division championships in their history and since 1999 they have won it all but six times. However, the question is: will San Antonio now face a real challenge in their division this year based on how the offseason has panned out?
The biggest threats in the Southwest that pop out are the Houston Rockets and Memphis Grizzlies. Both of these teams are talented and could give the Spurs fits during the regular season.
