The Spurs have earned every bit of the praise they've been receiving since they took down OKC twice in a row and three times in the span of 12 days. They've been the best team in the league for the past month, beating some of the most elite the NBA has to offer, whether they've been shorthanded or not. Not to mention, San Antonio has traveled more than Odysseus over the last month-plus.
They've had plenty of excuses to lose games this season but have yet to feel sorry for themselves when someone goes down with an injury.
