5. San Antonio Spurs
Yes, in the past I’ve used the word boring to describe the San Antonio Spurs, though they’ve dismissed that stigma over the last few seasons. (After a certain point, that argument lost all merit and just became the cool thing to do. I’m well aware.) Well, this offseason made them even more intriguing, so yes I’ll be tuning into a lot of Spurs games.
I want to see the emergence of Kawhi Leonard into a bonafide star, the incorporation of the recent additions of LaMarcus Aldridge and David West, the graceful aging of the Tim Duncan–Manu Ginobili–Tony Parker trio, and how all these interwoven storylines play out together. Beautiful basketball.
