The Spurs faced the best teams in the league this week and came up empty

After watching the Utah Jazz pummel the San Antonio Spurs for two consecutive games (without the services of Donovan Mitchell and Mike Conley) it is becoming apparent that although the Spurs have fought the good fight, their season will most assuredly end in a loss.

That said, who will you be rooting for once the Silver & Black have started their vacation? In the last week we’ve witnessed the current top seed of each conference. Even with two big time players down, the Utah Jazz were still as sharp as a tack. Meanwhile, the Philadelphia 76ers have loaded their roster with the potential for a title run.

Will one of these guys unseat the ailing Los Angeles Lakers? Can the Clippers redefine their legacy after last season’s disappointment? Is it finally the time for the league’s MVP to make it to the Finals with his squad?

Who will you be rooting for? And who do you think has the stuff to make it all the way?
