Title still goes through San Antonio

There’s panic in Dallas with the Mavs sitting seventh in the Western Conference. What does that mean in San Antonio with the Spurs sixth? Well, the title still goes through the Alamo City.

“They’re holding the title right now until somebody takes it from them,” Jerry Stackhouse said. “No matter what sputtering they do during the course of the regular season, it’s just one team we look at that’s going to be there.

“I feel the same way about the Phoenix Suns. I just do. No matter what’s happening or what’s going on right now, I just feel when you’ve got Steve Nash and a great player like Shaquille O’Neal in the middle, at some point they’re going to hit a stride I just hope it’s not in the postseason.”
