" San Antonio Spurs Franchise "
2008-2009 Season Preview
The San Antonio Spurs have always been a dominate force in the west, but as there starting players get older each year they find themselves dropping down and not being the same team as before. They always continue to have the same goal though, win the 5th NBA title. We can only hope they can get some young and new players that can help them out down the road and keep the Spurs in the same talk as the Lakers, Celtics, and Cavs.

Goals
- Keep Big 3 Healthy
- Make Finals
- 2 Allstars
- 60+ Wins
- Develop George Hill
- Acquire Good Center

Player Of The Game:

Jason Richardson

"Nothing was really falling for us. We turned the ball over way too much and committed too many fouls. Loosing our best player in Tim Duncan really hurt us bad and cost the game. Hope fully he will be health soon and we can start getting some wins." -Greg Popovich
