San Antonio comes in at number five on this week's edition of the NBA power rankings, and it's about time. Spurs Nation has long known that this team is among the elite. It's time for everyone else to catch up. The only teams above them are the Pistons (4), Knicks (3), Nuggets (2), and Thunder (1). That's a strong group, but the upcoming schedule gives our guys a shot to shake up the bunch.
The Silver and Black are 21-7, a third of the way through the season. After 28 games, everyone has a feel for who they are.
