Even as we say “Congratulations” to the Phoenix Suns, who beat the Spurs 4 games to 0 to advance to the Conference Finals in the 2010 NBA Playoffs, we want to say a big “Thank you” to the San Antonio Spurs, who place 2nd in the brutal Southwest Division, for the great season they had!The San Antonio Spurs ended the 2008-09 season at the top of the Southwest Division and made it to the playoffs, though their bout with the Mavericks led to a first round exit. The Spurs are perennial playoff contenders, and adding Richard Jefferson, Antonio McDyess and DeJuan Blair made them even more of an offensive threat. Ian Mahinmi is fully healed and Tony Parker is just reaching his prime, so if Tim Duncan and Manu Ginobili can just stay healthy, expect the Spurs to battle it out with the Lakers for the Western Conference title. If you want to watch the Spurs dominate the 2009-10 season live and in person, then nab your AT&T Center tickets today!
The San Antonio Spurs first came to the NBA in 1976. They were originally members of the ABA (American Basketball Association), and in 1999, the Spurs became the first former ABA team to win a NBA Championship. They have maintained a strong position in the powerful Western Conference year after year, and they are always in the hunt for another Championship.
After coming to San Antonio in 1976, the Spurs won the NBA title in 1999 with the help of the Twin Towers, Tim Duncan and David Robinson - the 2002-03 season was Admiral Robinson's last of his impressive career. The 2009-10 season is starting out great, with head coach Gregg Popovich and general manager R.C. Buford at the helm and Tim Duncan, Tony Parker and Emanuel Ginobili under contract until at least 2010, the Spurs are poised to make another run at the title and probably have the most talented team they ever had in franchise history to date. The AT&T Center hosts all home games for the San Antonio Spurs.
The San Antonio Spurs are looking to repeat their 2007 Championship run. The Spurs still look to be in good shape. They are still led by point guard Tony Parker and the phenomenal Tim Duncan, and they should have no problem powering the Spurs back into the playoffs. Will Coach of the Year ('03) Gregg Popovich be able to steer his San Antonio Spurs to another NBA Finals? Be sure to find out, and watch a Spurs home game this year at the AT&T Center in beautiful San Antonio after a day on the scenic River Walk.
