Spurs Will Make it 7 in a Row Tonight

Don't look now, but the Spurs are playing very well, with a season-high six straight wins. Check out Michael's post-game rant, if you haven't already.

Except for the Mavericks, no other team currently has a longer winning streak. And the Spurs have the third best record in the league, but I'm trying to temper my excitement, unlike some fans who bought into ESPN's John Hollinger's recent Power Rankings.

Steve Kerr wrote on Monday:

"Watch out for the Spurs. They've won five in a row and have held opponents to 82 points or fewer in four of those games."

Make that six in a row. And they've shot better than 50% in four of those games. Pop likes what he's seeing, and so do I.

"We're beginning to turn the corner and get that focus we need come playoff time."

Tonight's home game against Orlando should be an interesting test, since the Spurs have lost three of the last four matchups. Oddsmakers favor the Spurs by 11. I doubt it will even be that close.
