Consider this:
- The New Orleans Hornets are in first place in the West, tied with the Spurs.
- The Spurs have the longest active winning streak in the league at 7 games. This comes after starting off the month of March with a 5-5 record.
- The Dallas Mavericks are occupying the 7th seed in the West, but are only a game ahead of the 9th seed Nuggets. Smart money says the Mavericks won’t make the playoffs.
- Over the last four games, the Michael Finley of 2008 is looking a lot like the Finley of 2003, averaging 19.5 points and 4.5 rebounds per game.
Did someone say April Fool’s?
Seriously, March was Mad, but April promises to be even crazier. Just 2.5 games separate the top six teams in the West. In other words, with just eight games left in the Spurs’ regular season, saying that every game counts is an understatement.
Thanks to a friend in the organization, we have some exclusive footage of the Spurs working on a new play that involves recently resigned Brent Barry. Could this clip, which features Tim, Manu, Bruce and Brent, be a sign of a prosperous April for the Spurs?
