26. San Antonio Spurs

The San Antonio Spurs are having a ho-hum season in what could end up being Gregg Popovich’s last season with the club. That’s not how he deserves to leave and I honestly hope he gets another chance to lead a bit more talented team.

The Spurs might need another year to fully begin flashing some of their true talents – along with another big move or two.

25. Oklahoma City Thunder

I’m really interested to see how the Oklahoma City Thunder continues to progress over the course of the next couple of months. If they can somehow hang around the 10-12 range of the Western Conference standings, I don’t think it would be entirely surprising to see this team make some noise in the playoff play-in tournament.
