2008 Outlook

The San Antonio Spurs capped off another strong season with a second place finish in the Southwest Standings and a third seed in the Western Conference playoffs. The Spurs once played with a dominating defense and a steady offense with point guard Tony Parker, power forward Tim Duncan, and sixth man Manu Ginobili. Duncan finally gave way to spark plug Ginobili as leading scorer, but Duncan and Frabricio Oberto provide a challenging front court. The mid-season acquisition of Kurt Thomas and Brent Barry is expected to provide the veteran play, defense, and shooting that could lead to another NBA title.

Team History

The San Antonio Spurs’ history began in 1967 as apart of the ABA. Once the NBA and the ABA merged in 1976, the team was one of four ABA franchises to cross over in to the NBA.

The Spurs did not begin in San Antonio. Originally they were the Dallas Chaparrals. The team moved to San Antonio and changed their name to the Spurs in 1973. The ABA years were not the most successful. Although the club made it to the playoffs every season, they only won a single first round series. The move to the NBA saw similar success, with playoff appearances and early exits.

The Spurs were much more known for their start, George “Iceman” Gervin. Gervin and his finger roll were able to put up scoring totals that were among the league best. The trade that sent Gervin to the Bulls after the 194-85 season began a bleak four years for the Spurs. The club failed to reach .500, but made the playoffs despite their poor play. First round sweeps by Magic Johnson and the “Showtime” Lakers squashed any hope for a surprising run.

Those times came to an end with the drafting of David Robinson in 1989. His presence in the middle and the play of fellow additions Terry Cummings ad Sean Elliot led to then record turnaround for the Spurs. The club improved 36 games and began a string of six straight playoff appearances. The new Spurs were once again stifled in the playoffs time and time again, but after a disastrous 1996-97 season that found the club with the third worst record in the NBA the Spurs drafted Tim Duncan.

Duncan and Robinson played together in the post for six seasons and won NBA Championships in 1999 and 2003. Duncan continued to take the Spurs deep into the playoffs with an international supporting cast that featured Frenchman Tony Parker and Argentina’s Manu Ginobili. The trio has won two more championships to date. Find San Antonio Spurs tickets at www.TheSeats.com, the best online resource for sporting events of any kind.
