That is the time of 12 months when I’ve two choices:

(1) Begin watching baseball, or

(2) Begin rooting towards NBA groups within the postseason.

San Antonio shouldn’t be an enormous baseball city, however we do love our Missions, which is a San Diego Padres AA crew.

Greater than seemingly, I’ll watch the NBA playoffs. Yearly I say I gained’t and by the Convention Finals I’m vested in some type or vogue.

Up to now I discover myself rooting towards one crew versus rooting for. That stated, I used to be rooting for the Boston Celtics final 12 months as a result of I nonetheless have a heat spot for Derrick White and I actually can recognize many of the gamers and training employees in Beantown.

However for now, I’ll begin with my common disdain for the Play-In Event. It has no worth apart from getting followers to observe a pair extra video games. The 12 months a tenth place crew wins the entire thing, I’ll change my opinion.

I’ll say that as we transfer into the postseason I’ll touch upon every crew and recreation and who I’m rooting for, or extra seemingly towards.

For right now, the Spurs play their last recreation of the season towards the Raptors, each of whom have been eradicated.

Go Spurs Go! (one final time for the 12 months).
