Yeah, amazing how the Spurs continue to put together one great team after another, despite no homerun trades and no super-high draft picks. I thought that Leonard was the steal of the draft last year (well, maybe after Valanciunas, but we'll see), and a perfect fit for Popovich's system. They were patient with letting Splitter develop abroad, which looks like a great decision now. I hated them back in the Bruce Bowen years (he was such a dirty player), but now that he's retired, I'm finding I actually like the rest of these guys. OKC and SA have been the two teams I've been rooting for thus far, and I can't pick between them, I'm just going to enjoy what should be a great series. But if I were betting, I'd definitely bet on SA.
