Several members of the [San Antonio Spurs](http://spurs.sportsticketbank.com/nba-basketball/san-antonio-spurs-tickets) and the team mascot, the Spurs Coyote helped cheer children at two different centers as part of their holiday celebration this past week. Each year, the Spurs give back to the community by offering a little holiday cheer to children who are ill or recovering from illness at local hospitals. It's an especially welcome holiday gift for children who are confined to hospitals, and for whom even sports tickets wouldn't make a difference.
On December 21, Danny Green and Kawhi Leonard dropped in to visit children at The Children's Shelter at the KCI Residential Shelter. The two players were joined by former player Bruce Bowen, the Spurs Coyote and the Silver Dancers. The players appeared to have a wonderful time chatting and visiting with the children. They signed and distributed miniature basketballs to children at the shelter and their families. The Children's Shelter provides residential care services to children aged five to 12 who are dealing with the aftereffects of trauma in their lives.
Earlier in the week, guard Manu Ginobili and center Matt Bonner joined the Spurs Coyote for a visit to The Children's Hospital. The trio signed miniature basketballs and posed for photos with patients and their families, and looked genuinely happy to be there.
The Spurs currently hold second place in their division, and they just keep getting better and better," said one fan. It's great that they take the time to come out and spend time with the kids every year. It's a real bright spot for them."
It could be even brighter according to one local sports odds maker. The Spurs, he says, are generally overlooked this year thanks to the Golden State Warrior's flashy playing style and season start. But if any team has what it takes to upset the Warriors in the playoffs, it's the Spurs. The San Antonio team has been quietly getting the job done, he points out, winning 21 of their first 25 games and maintaining a winning percentage of .808 that puts them on track to break franchise records. While the Warriors are attracting attention, the Spurs actually have the better stats, both offensive and defensive.
All things being equal, he suggests, unless things change drastically over the course of the season which things are always likely to do in NBA ball the chances are good that the Spurs will be meeting the Warriors in the conference finals. Until then, fans can find sports tickets to all the [San Antonio Spurs games](http://spurs.sportsticketbank.com/nba-basketball/san-antonio-spurs-tickets) even the sold-out ones at third party ticket sites.
