If you had asked me to put money on San Antonio being removed from the top spot on the NBA's power rankings list this week, I would have. Writers can be fickle, and since the Spurs' core is primarily composed of young players, it would have been understandable had they been dropped after going 2-2 over their last four games. However, they're still number one, and it's right where they belong.
The truth about this season is that nobody is heads and shoulders above the pack. I know OKC got out to a big lead over everyone with that 16-game winning streak, but their schedule was absurdly easy to start the year.
