3. San Antonio Spurs (35-24)

This has been an odd season for the San Antonio Spurs.

Kawhi Leonard is playing hide and seek, but the Spurs may be tired of seeking.

Tony Parker got benched, but in a nice way.

Manu Ginobli is possibly their best bench player (nothing new, but this guy is old…really old).

Even with all of that, you absolutely cannot doubt Greg Popovich.

I’m going to go out on a limb here and say that the San Antonio Spurs have a make it or break it situation come playoff time.

If they don’t advance past the first round, they may blow up this roster for the 2018-19 NBA season.

Personally, I hope not.
