San Antonio Spurs Tickets

The San Antonio Spurs began preparing for the NBA Playoffs 2013 even before they clinched a postseason berth with a 92-91 victory over the Dallas Mavericks on March 14. Head coach Gregg Popovich has pressed all of the right buttons in recent years to ensure peak performance from his players when the postseason arrives, and this year is no exception. With one of the oldest rosters in the NBA, Popovich has somehow managed to juggle the minutes of his aging superstars while also putting a winning team on the floor. While the team has drawn the ire of many for resting star players in high-profile regular season games, fans of the Spurs trust the fact that Tim Duncan and Co. understand that the ultimate journey is not a sprint, but a marathon.

Now that the Spurs are in ideal shape for the postseason, their journey to again capture the Larry O’Brien NBA Championship Trophy begins with a first-round series against the Los Angeles Lakers. While San Antonio took the regular season series, 2-1, the Lakers can still present problems for the Spurs, as they boast perhaps the most formidable frontcourt tandem in the league with Pau Gasol and Dwight Howard. Even though Kobe Bryant’s torn Achilles’ tendon injury will prevent him from playing in the postseason, don’t expect the Spurs to take any opponent lightly—they were bounced from the 2011 postseason when, as a No. 1 seed, they fell to the eighth-seeded Memphis Grizzlies in six games.
