Fresh on the heels of the Spurs’ nine game winning streak heading into tonight’s game against the Miami Heat, Haley O’Shaughnessey of The Ringer re-hashed yet again the annual theme of “the Spurs are still around?” while assigning the surprising term “contender” to the team’s recovery effort post-Rodeo Road Trip.
O’Shaughnessy provides us a worthwhile read, presenting fair assessments and reasons to believe (they’re the Spurs) or not believe (but not on the road) in their chances during the upcoming playoffs. It’s an enjoyable read, with perhaps the best part being perhaps the best metaphor we’ve heard yet when it comes to discussing the team that just won’t go away.
