NBA: 10 biggest things to look forward to this season

#2 San Antonio Spurs

The San Antonio Spurs are the dark horses in this league every year

Let me let you in on a secret, while the super teams and defending champions get most of the attention, there is a certain championship pedigree team taking the risk, with all the stakes and modesty involved. The Spurs have gone about their business quietly, and if you know Gregg Popovich well, something’s cooking. The addition of the underrated Rudy Gay provides a different outlet for the offense.

You should never sleep on the San Antonio Spurs. With arguably the best coach ever, they are always ready to surprise by contending year in year out. Before the media realizes what’s going on, they rightfully claim one of the top seeds in the Western Conference. The Spurs are the dark horse in this race. With Kahwi Leonard putting the team on his back, we could be in for a big surprise.
