The San Antonio Spurs enter the home stretch in an interesting position. This is often the time when they really gel and gear up for the playoffs, and with a few exceptions how they do in this final stretch has often been indicative how the postseason plays out. However, what makes this a unique run for the Spurs is there really isn’t much to play for in March and April. It will either take a miracle run and epic collapse by the Warriors for the Spurs to capture the first seed (although they do play them twice at home in March), and the same is true if the Rockets, who are five losses back from the Spurs, hope to steal the second seed.
