MY PREDICTION
The Spurs are the current NBA champions and they are making it to the play offs the spurs are playing Memphis which has been a great team this year. Spurs are great team but they are not doing it again because they are not a great team as they was last year. The Spurs are one of the great teams in the NBA history so they can come different and win next years division.
