The San Antonio Spurs are in the second round of the playoffs. That’s pretty much the biggest non-story of the postseason, given that they’ve failed to move past the first round just three times in the Tim Duncan era.
For the Golden State Warriors, it’s nearly uncharted territory – they’ve made it to the conference semifinals only twice in the last 22 years: once back in 2007, when they upset the Dallas Mavericks as an 8th seed, and once back in 1991, when they beat the Spurs in the first round. The last time Golden State went beyond the semifinals was back in 1975, when it won the only championship in its 41-year history.
With four Game 6′s on Friday night, we were assured of seeing four teams playing for their playoff lives.
