Gregg Popovich was the coach of the year, but given the voters choice of the Executive of the year, they must believe the Pop's prowess is just overcoming all those boneheaded drafting and trading mistakes that R.C. Buford keeps making. Larry Bird, who was probably fleeced by Buford in a draft day trade that sent Kawhi Leonard to San Antonio, has won executive of the year.
There are several classic blunders. One of them is "Never get involved in a land war in Asia" and another is "Never go against a Sicilian when death is on the line," but the least known one is probably "Never bet against the San Antonio Spurs in the draft."
The NBA Season is ready to start on Christmas Day, the last couple of preseason games are being played as I write this up, and it's time for me to cater to every serious NBA fans love of season previews! The 2011 Geektastic Preview is going to be way too large for one article, so I'm dividing it up into divisions (and even so, it's going to be long, so get a cup of coffee!). I'm continuing the preview here with the Southwest Division, from worst to first.

In this article I'm going to preview the San Antonio Spurs. As usual, they are on no one's radar, but at the end of the year, they'll be in contention, barring injuries.
