They mirror each other damn near exactly
-both had success in the early 2000s with defensive minded squads
-both teams reinvented themselves in 2010 with crazy offensive schemes? but could never break through
-Spurs lost a heartbreaker in 2013, pats lost one in 2012
-both were on droughts between titles
-Spurs finally broke through last year,can the pAts do it this year
