2. San Antonio Spurs

Opponent: Memphis Grizzlies

The San Antonio Spurs have been great all year. They have a legitimate superstar in Kahwi Leonard while NBA all-star LaMarcus Aldridge has been steady and consistent this year to go along with a well balanced offense and outstanding defense.

Although Tony Parker and Manu Ginobili are no longer the players they once were, they are still effective and with coach Pop on the sidelines he continues to place his players in spots where they can be most effective.

After another 60-plus win season, they seem to be the only team equipped to deal with the Golden State Warriors.
