The number two seed in the west is the San Antonio Spurs. The returning champion Spurs started out the season good, but stepped up their game even more as of late. With all of their starters healthy together they have made teams fight hard to even stay in the game. The Spurs are still one of the toughest teams to play against. Having won 16 of their last 19 games, they have moved back and forth with the Lakers for the top spot in the west. Parker and Ginobili are one of the best back court duo’s in the game today, and add the compliment of Duncan, and you have a very good chance of repeating.
