Spurs are classy fun to watch, but they aren't the favorites to even get out of the West. Last year they had a cakewalk to the Finals, #7 seed Lakers w/o Kobe, #6 seed Warriors who have won 1 game in SA since 1994 and was game 2 in their series last year, and #5 seed Grizzlies who upset Oklahoma City without Westbrook.

I love Tim Duncan, and find him to be the most unappreciated superstar of all-time. However, I am sure he enjoys that and being left alone. I just think the Spurs won't win another title because the don't have that 5th gear to push it up a notch now that Duncan is on his last legs.

The Spurs are 33-2 against sub-500 teams and 26-14 against above .500 teams. Their are 0 sub-500 teams making the playoffs in the West and if the Spurs got the Grizziles as an 8 seed in the first round which is possible because they are right now tied with Mavs and Suns for the last 2 playoff spots look out.

I think I would pick the Clippers as my favorite out West as long as Chris Paul stays healthy. Blake Griffin has played really well this year probably the 3rd best in the league behind Durant and Lebron. The Clippers now have depth in their frontcourt and in a 7 game series versus San Antonio I would pick the Clippers. If the Clipper got knocked out before playing the Spurs I think they could beat OKC in a 7 games.
