NBA Playoffs Adopt-a-Team: San Antonio Spurs

3

An interesting read, to say the least. Here's an excerpt: "So the Spurs have a few real underdogs, and who doesn't like underdogs? But there's more. This season has also seen San Antonio's most entertaining player, Manu Ginobili, undergo a dramatic late-season resurgence, that has not only turned them into a legit title contender out of the 7-seed, but also made the team much more palatable for the eyes. Ginobili's sometimes-spastic, always-creative playmaking has long been one of the underrated aspects of the Spurs' play. His indifference for his own health, however -- he's made a career out of careening his way through the lane -- had slowed him do so much the past few years that it seemed his days as an elite-level player were finished. Not so much. With Tony Parker out earlier in the month, Ginobili rediscovered his game and played arguably the best ball of his career, simultaneously securing both a contract extension and a measure of redemption."
