(1) San Antonio Spurs vs. (8) Dallas Mavericks
Spurs Leads Series 1-0
The San Antonio Spurs are favorites in this series, which shouldn’t be a shock to anybody who watches basketball. Fellow aging team, the Dallas Mavericks have had an over-achieving year in a very tough Western Conference. Greg Poppovich is having another “coach of the year” like season properly preparing and resting his starters for another run at the Larry O’Brien trophy. Following their game 6 loss where they were seconds away from winning a 5th title in the last 15 years, San Antonio ultimately came up short in game 7. We know that’s been in the minds of the entire organization for 10 months, which Mark Cuban and his Mavs will sadly become San Antonio’s first victim of the post season.
