Spurs

I had almost given up on the Spurs. Strike that. I not only had given up on them, but left them for dead and was starting to make funeral arrangements.

But they've won 8 of 10, and are now sporting a 17-10 record.

They, too, can play Eastern Conference defense, and so maybe, just maybe, they might provide a challenge to you know who come playoff time.

Tonight they play McHale and company, so make it 18-10.
