20 Wins: 2007-2008 Remix

Two years ago, I wrote an article to assess the performance of the Spurs after twenty victories. Two years later, they got twenty wins again before the year ends. Last time, I got it right on the money and correctly predicted that they won 63 games. Their championship run ended with a loss to Dallas. Dallas failed to seize the opportunity and lost to Miami after leading 2-0.

San Antonio Spurs - 2004-05 NBA Champions

The Brent Barry joined the team, with mid-season acquisitions of Nazr Mohammed and Glenn Robinson bolstered their bench. Then there was the two ankle injuries of Tim Duncan that made me doubt if they could go all the way.

Why the Spurs Will Win

This is a bold statement, but you know that I love how San Antonio Spurs work as a team. Here are some reasons why:

  • How in the world does the team's top scorer come of the bench. Ginobili leads the team in scoring. You've got to love how Manu has taken that role as a sixth man.
