I'm joined today by Matthew Tynan of 48 Minutes of Hell, one of the best places to get coverage of the San Antonio Spurs. The Spurs have not been forgotten this season by any means, but they are being pushed aside to some degree, as is the rest of the league to a greater degree, because of the greatness of the Golden State Warriors. Matthew's anaysis of the Spurs is top notch, so we try to assess where the team currently stands.

Here are the topics we discuss:

How did Kawhi Leonard become this good?
Is it simply the Spurs telling him what he needs to get better at doing and he just does it?
Why did the Spurs sign Andre Miller and cut Ray McCallum?
Why did the Spurs sign Kevin Martin and cut Rasual Butler?
Do the Spurs have enough shooting?
How do the Spurs match up against the Los Angeles Clippers if they meet again in the postseason?
Does Gregg Popovich have anything up his sleeve against the Warriors in the playoffs?
Will it work?

We discuss all of this, plus how bad the River Walk is, a Warriors-Spurs prediction, and much more.
