San Antonio Spurs: 7-2

Someday, the Spurs will probably be too outdated.
They’ll succumb to harm.
Today isn’t that day, and Manu Ginobili smirks at you for thinking it might be.
Unconcerned with a year-older core and how the Spurs have never repeated as champs, oddsmakers have bestowed the West’s best odds upon Gregg Popovich and buddies. And why not?
San Antonio looked fresh during the postseason, thanks largely to a maintenance program that kept every single Spur under half an hour per game during the year. Once younger, more athletic teams broke , the well-rested Spurs hit their stride.
Expect them to choose the identical approach this year, or even a much more conservative one. The regular season is no longer a challenge with this bunch, and they proved last year that they could essentially give games away without damaging their postseason positioning.
Despite holding veterans out of back-to-back games all season, the Spurs won a league-high 62 competitions.
