ESPN has started on a feature called TitleTown which takes towns from all over the country who's teams have won a title of any kind and asks them to share their stories.
San Antonio is one of those towns, and although the public views the Spurs as a team basketball players who helped defend the actual Alamo, the Spurs would like the nation to remember, remember what was accomplished last season.
The Spurs swept the Cavaliers for their 4th title in 9 years; the Spurs made the 2008 playoffs; the Spurs are the defending champs in the 2008 Western Conference Finals.
They are a good team, and they showed that in yesterday's 103-84 win over the Lakers in Game 3 of the Western Conference finals, making the series a 2-1 LA lead.
The Spurs won at home, though.
The Spurs won at home in all of the semifinals games also, and couldn't win until Game 7 in New Orleans versus the Hornets.
Some may say that the Spurs got the job done when they had to vs. NO, but NO was a young team with hardly any playoff experience; no game sevens in their pockets except for Peja Stojakovic. So the Spurs proved they were the Patriots of the NBA and moved on.
The Spurs will not be the NBA finals again.
The Lakers are not the Hornets, and will not lose a Game 7 provided there is one.
The next West battle is tomorrow night, and San Antonio will tie the series at 2.
The score? 99-90 SA
