5. Who wins Game 7?

Adande: The Spurs. They were my pre-series pick, and I hate having to go against myself, even if the evidence this series indicates otherwise. The Clippers have put themselves in position to win five of the first six games so far. But the other trend is the road team has won five of the six games. One of the hardest series to predict that I've ever covered.

Pelton: Spurs. In a series with such close margins, Glen Davis' ankle injury could be a difference-maker if he's unable to go, further stressing an already-thin Clippers bench. I'm not sure they'll have quite enough for another hard-fought 48 minutes.

Shelburne: If I answered this question 10 times I would pick each team five times for five different reasons. Part of me says the Clippers just need this series more. Another part says the Spurs' experience will carry the day. How much does home court matter when each team has won twice in the other's building? The Clippers' superstars can be more dominant when they're on. The Spurs are far deeper. I like Manny Pacquiao by decision over Floyd Mayweather in the fight Saturday night, can we stop there? No? OK, if I must pick, I'll say the Clippers, if only because I think they're more desperate.

Wallace: Spurs. I can't -- and won't -- count the Spurs out until their actually out for the count. They've earned the benefit of the doubt after coming back time and time again against the odds.

Wright: Who wins Game 7? San Antonio wins this one because they've overcome situations such as this in the past. They captured Game 7 in the first round last season against the Mavericks, and they lost Game 7 of the 2013 NBA Finals to the Miami Heat. Besides, Gregg Popovich called the Spurs "soft" after their loss Thursday night to the Clippers. The Spurs will respond resoundingly.


Weird how ESPN has much more faith in SA than their own fans do :lol

As long as Tim Legler doesn't pick us. Every time he does, we lose.

Same here, I've waited awhile to get near to just about hammered. No work, nothing tomorrow, all bets are off.

I hope I'm not drunk in tears if the Spurs are eliminated. :cry

Yep. (Though its a short story, not a novel, so "book" might be pushing it. :lol)

It doesn't matter either way. Either team is fucked. This is the 1st round and two teams that are borderline competitive are losing at home to other teams that are borderline competitive. You have to protect home court in the playoffs, if you cannot get up for a game at home what fucking good are you?

Thanks, bro! Good luck with your own writing. I mainly do historical fiction and thrillers/adventure/crime. What's your area (if you specialize)?
