Two TOUGH games for the Spurs...

[tlongII]

And I think they will lose one of them. Miami has to be pissed after blowing that game to Orlando although they will lose and the Lakers are on a roll right now and they will whip the Spurs. This could be an uncomfortable experience for the Spurs and their fans.

[CubanMustGo]

non-issue

[greyforest]

finally the spurs get to play the heat, and TP is injured.

seems about par for the course

[FromWayDowntown]

I'd be pleased with a split, all things considered. I tend to agree with tlong's assessment of this weekend's games, if only because the Spurs have been playing fairly horrendous basketball for stretches of the last week or so, and I have substantial reservations about George Hill's ability to initiate offense -- and a strong sense that Miami and LA are going to try to make him do just that.

[hater]

a split would be a dream come true. Very tough. Agree with the OP.

What a bold prediction with the Spurs' starting point guard injured.

[tp2021]

The Spurs are 3-0 this season when my brother and I are in attendance.

We will be at both of these ones :smokin

[TampaDude]

Spurs will win BOTH games. They will BLOW OUT Miami and edge LA by 3-4 points.

Spurs have yet only lost 2 home games ... thats freakin awesome. If TP was healthy they could win both games, without him a split indeed will be fine. Preferably the win comes against the Lakers, because the Eastern Conference only matters if we reach the NBA Finals ...

:tu Slomo!

The Lakers maybe since Parker is so huge against them... but the Heat? Hell no.

[GrandeDavid]

Miami's getting a 1.5 in the line. Vegas likes the Spurs to pull out a close one tonight.

[TimmehC]

Lakers are probably still pissed about the Dice tip-in, so they'll be fired up. We need to get this one tonight.

Hmm so if you're angry, that somehow makes you shoot better and play good defense? Awesome to know.

[DrSteffo]

LOL at trolls from other teams.

Again, I guess all it takes is a team to be 'angry' to crown them NBA champs. Why didn't we think of that before?

This. :depressed

Parker needs to come back soon.

[kaji157]

Everything Hangs on Manu and Duncan now.
We have 50/50 chances on both.

So i would say we will win both untill one of those teams prove better than a Parker-less Spurs Team.

This time Pop has had time to prepare for the absense of Tony, the Guards rotation should be better and which everyone of them knowing what to do.

Revenge/Anger can be a huge motivating factor for teams.

[Rummpd]

To expect a team 25 and 2 at home and with the talent and pride of the Spurs to roll over is sublime - LAL has not beat the Spurs yet this year and Miami has holes. Bring on the games!

[TimmehC]

When it comes to the better teams in the league, anger usually leads to focused determination. So, in a regular season game that Pop doesn't really care about, it could give them an edge. I didn't say anything about crowning them champs, although they're already the champs.

[mando6599]

hey, op, why do you care anyways? just pay attention to your injured blazer team and go away

You sure would be the one to know about uncomfortable experiences.

[wontstartdumbthreads]

This has probably been answered somewhere but is Parker back?
The line I saw had the Spurs as -2.

[DieHardSpursFan1537]

I can already see the Spurs beating Lakers. The Heat game should be good though.

[Malice]

Great insight bro. ANGER=automatic win. Try breaking down the miss matches the Heat/Lakers present or something basketball related.

Sorry, but I refuse to converse with someone that does not know how to spell mis-match.

[tdunk21]

OP should worry about failblazers.....

I will not go away and neither will my injured blazer team. :loser

Mismatch is not hyphenated.

[mytespurs]

In regards 2 heat, law of averages say they win coming off 2 b2b losses but they are playing the spurs, not a sub .500 opponent

My .01 opinion: Spurs will be fortunate 2 go .500 (1-1) this weekend esp. w/parker out. Will manu/duncan have enough? Will role playyers step up? One positive-both games @ at&t ctr.

[Obstructed_View]

I love when people post with a cell phone.

One down, one to go! :hat

:lol That's pretty good, although it gave me flashbacks to that playoff game with the Hornets and their stupid mascot making the floor slick.
