Predict the Game 3 result...

[BillMc]

As we've got a few days to kill, what's your take on the first game in OKC?

I'd say its much closer at the Thunder know this is their last chance to make it a series. Also, the extra day means Brooks might make an adjustment (though so far his adjustments have all been disasters). Still, Spurs remember 2012 and don't let up, so...

I'd go Spurs 108, Thunder 104.

Going to be similar to Game 3 of WCF last year. Prideful Thunder come out on fire and go up big. Probably at least 15. But the Spurs keep pounding the rock. They don't want any talk of coming back from 2-0. They win 101-97.

[Rummpd]

Spurs 110 Thunderlite 102

Thunder subs will play much better at home. Not sure if Spur subs will step up or be intimidated by the crowd. OKC is a tough place to play on the road. Spurs will definitely need championship mettle to win on the road there.

Spurs 102 Thunder 87

I'd say OKC will score more at home since they will shoot better and go smaller for longer stretches, but the rest the Spurs get will be valuable and they are playing with some laser focus:

SA: 106
OKC: 100

[mudyez]

OKC 100:101 Spurs





















nah just kidding

OKC 80:119 Spurs

[Capster]

OKC having home court advantage will make a better effort......HOWEVER the SPURS WILL WIN THE 3RD game......leading to a SWEEEEEEP!!!!!!

According to NBA.com (http://stats.nba.com/leagueTeamGeneral.html?PerMode=Totals&sortField=NET_RATING&sortOrder=DES&SeasonType=Regular%20Season&pageNo=1&rowsPerPage=30&columnOrder=&MeasureType=Advanced), San Antonio has the top-ranked offensive and defensive net rating in the league, showing the necessary balance on both ends of the floor.

[Horry Hipcheck]

[Dex]

My prediction?

FTT.

[ElNono]

First to 110 wins

[Avitus1]

Spurs 108
Sonics 87

[doobs]

If the game was tomorrow, I'd pick Spurs with no hesitation. But the time off helps OKC. KD and RW have time to kiss and make up, to right the ship. I expect a close one. OKC wins.

If the Thunder do win any games, it is likely to be this one. If they get demolished again, they have no chance in game 4 with a day rest and game 3 still fresh in their minds.
