The only difference is that this year they have a new toy, the most sought after free agent this offseason — LaMarcus Aldridge.
Aldridge left the Portland Trail Blazers for an $80 million contract with San Antonio. He averaged 23.4 points, 10.2 rebounds, and 1.7 assists last year. His talent is sure to help revitalize the Spurs roster who showed some signs of aging last year, finishing 6th in the Western Conference.
The Spurs may have been the Warriors’ biggest threat to a championship last year, but a game 7 loss to the Los Angeles Clippers in the first round prevented the world from seeing a great series.
