It seems like the San Antonio Spurs, no matter how many times they exceed expectations, return to being doubted nationally. After being underdogs to the Rockets, despite being the higher seed with home-court advantage, the Spurs won the series in six games, closing on the road with a 39-point victory without Kawhi Leonard. Although the Spurs got the basketball world’s attention with their improbable Game 6 win, the Warriors open as 10.5-point favorites in Game 1 of the Western Conference Finals Sunday at Oracle Arena. Are the Warriors and Cavaliers on a collision course for a Finals Trilogy, or is their a path to victory for the Spurs?
