Just remember the Nuggets

They came in and stole Game 1 in SA twice, and how did those series work out?

Don't underestimate playoff experience. Emotion wins opening games, experience wins championships

Memphis played pretty badly too though; lots of really stupid fouls. The Spurs aren't a typical 1-seed though. That 61 wins record is fools gold, as it's skewed by their 28-4 start in November and December.

With Tony playing as badly as he did, no Manu and Tim barely touching the ball on offense down the stretch SA did better than I expected. If they win Gm 2 they go to Memphis feeling pretty good.

Last year, the Blazers came into Phoenix and stole Game 1 for us. They ended up losing 4 of the next 5. In the end, the better team will win the series.
