LAKE BUENA VISTA, Florida: Gregg Popovich didn’t put much thought into San Antonio’s playoff streak when it was rolling along. For the first time since April 1997, the Spurs played a game knowing that the playoffs were out of reach. This is how long the streak went: David Stern wasn’t even halfway through his 30-year run as commissioner when it started. And the Spurs won 170 playoff games in that span; only seven franchises have more playoff wins in their entire history. There were 102 players who got into at least one Spurs playoff game during the streak, including current NBA head coaches Jacque Vaughn, Steve Kerr and Monty Williams.
