The defending champion San Antonio will try to accomplish a franchise 1st – back-to-back NBA titles – in the ‘07-08 season that starts Tuesday. The Spurs swept to their 3rd title in 5 years – and their 4th in 9 years – with a 4-game sweep over the Cavaliers in last season’s finals. However, in a remarkably successful span – with championships in 1999, 2003, 2005, and 2007 – San Antonio has never been able to win consecutive champion titles. Practically unchanged this season, the San Antonio Spurs led by superstar Tim Duncan and Tony Parker are nevertheless considered by their rivals as the team to beat.
