- Oklahoma City Thunder
- Los Angeles Clippers
- Houston Rockets
- Miami Heat
- Indiana Pacers
I’ll hasten with the answer: each team does not own the best record in the NBA. That le belongs to San Antonio, a team that, for whatever reason, year after year, continues to fly under the radar. An appearance on the biggest of stages, the NBA Finals against the Miami Heat in 7 games, apparently was not enough to garner respect for the bunch.

Same story year after year. This year we need to finish the story.
That Lebron reaction though lol
They've been tired old bags for at least 5 years now
There are Spurs fans on here in their early 30s who cannot recall a time when the Spurs weren't contenders.
Doug Collins brought it up in the Portland telecast. For 25 years the franchise has had David RobInson or Tim Duncan.
I've only been a true fan since 2001 and cannot fathom how I'll deal with a bad or even subpar team.
Not surprising since the Spurs have always flown under the radar while all of the other teams get the attention.
This year it is the new sexy pick in the Clippers it seems who most are riding.
urban fans ruined nba
Spurs could care less what the media thinks of them. They just play the game the way it's supposed to be played.
Clippers won't be a walk over with Doc Rivers as coach. Pop's going to have to be at the top of his game.
That is very true, plus Griffin has gotten alot better as well then last year even when Billups said he needed to toughen up.
Is that when you decided to be a true fan and stop rooting for the Bulls?
tbh the Rockets were my favorite team from 1991 until 1995 due to visiting my t-jones who live there. I followed the Spurs in 1997 when they picked up Nique and my favorite Rocket player Maxwell. I cheered pretty hard when the Spurs won the lottery. However, I still wasn't a fervent supporter until that 2001 season for whatever reason..can't really recall why specifically though.
Never saw a complete Bulls game in my life.
It's amusing to see media use the phrase "fly under radar" when they are the radar operators.
Was about missing the FT, not about Leonard.
lol what? Why didn't he make that face right after he missed the FT instead of 15 seconds later?
It's remarkable.
I'm only 25, but I started following SA when I was 5-6. Remember the '95 evisceration at the hands of the Rockets vividly, and was so happy to be living in SA in '99.
I remember when this team only won 20 games in a season (ok, yeah, we tanked)--definitely don't take runs like this for granted.
More like 8 seconds. It was about the missed FT.
As an expert in body language and microexpressions, I can tell you that it was most likely a reaction to Leonard entering the game. Nobody will ever know for sure except Lebron, but it was an unfiltered reaction in that precise moment. Now, was he upset that Kawhi was entering the game or was he upset that his free throw was being delayed because Kawhi was checking in? Both are definite possibilities, but either way, he was not reacting to a missed free throw at that point.
If you pause it when he's making the face at the exact instant that he sees Kawhi entering, it's a microexpression of anger, then frustration. His teeth are bared, then he moves into a sour face that resembles sadness mixed with anger (frustration). You can see that he recovers very quickly, but the evidence is there.
Same story, different year for the ol' sports. Time to put it all together and finish the run proper
Doc was fired in Orlando, and on the verge of being fired in Boston when he was gifted with 2 additional HOF players one summer. He won exactly one ring.
