Man, I was about to make a thread about how DeRozan is going to show up big in game 5 (win or lose). I think Pop will shorten the rotation, I think DeRozan is close to really busting out and if DEN doesn’t have a fluky shooting night from 3 (assuming SA contests more of them) I think SA can win which is wild considering how a** they were on the road.

Denver has an off night. Spurs do just enough to not shit the bed.

[Dennis the Menace]

Spurs seem to always have a lead in the beginning of 2nd Quarter. Pop just needs to actually shorten/fix the rotation.

If Lonnie gets minutes over Mills/Belli = Spurs win. Lonnie can play better defense and create his own shot. Essentially a stop gap for when Derozan and White need a breather.

That’s not happening. Nuggets win, the margin doesn’t matter

Spurs get behind early, get even by half, lead a tad in the third, pull way out in the fourth.

He’s averaging 23/7/4.5 on 50% shooting. I mean, his defense has been pretty poor but we knew that about him. He’s kept up his best stuff in the playoffs so far.

It's asking too much for this team to have to win another game in Denver, tbh. They really needed to win the last game. But now, the worst road team left in the Western conference is tasked with beating the best home team in a Game 5. Tall fucking order. My head is thinking Denver wins this one handily but I'll just go out on a limb with my heart and say Spurs win shockingly.

I’ve always been pretty good at this in the past. Called an old warriors playoff game in 2013 to the t. So I’ll say:

Spurs: 108
Nuggets: 97

Nuggets go back to clanging, White responds with a good game, Derozan is motivated and dare I say focused to not get emotional at the refs. JockItch has a solid near triple double but nobody notices, Torrey Craig shoots in the ballpark of 40%, Murray leads in scoring for Nugs. Realistic homerism at its finest

Tight as hell, the spurs lead by 1 in the last minute. Bad turnover = Nuggets basket, and then deliberate fouling widens the margin.

To quote Troy Deeney, this spurs team lack the "cojones" for to win that kind of high pressure game.

[GusT15]

With all these scores and predictions i was made almost certain the game is tonight.I had to double check to make sure it's tomorrow.

At this moment,80 posters have given predictions,if i didn't miscount,50 Spurs win,30 Spurs lose.

Spurs will have an easier time winning game 7 than game 5. Denver had game 1 nerves and played poorly(this bodes well if the Spurs can get them into a game 7) but Denver has now gained confidence.

Game 5 is not a high pressure game for Denver so they should play loose and strong enough at home to take down the Spurs. But I don't like Denver in a high pressure game 7 at home and see them folding and losing in 7 if the Spurs can take game 6 at home.

I might go at a raps game if they make the finals. Not so much the leafs.


I just feel like even the games the Spurs won in this series was due to some slight flukiness (Like Denver having a phenomenal choke job in Game 1, and White going off for 36)

They just have way too much outside shooting for us to deal with but let's see. We've had double digit leads against them in every game so far.

As for the Raps, I'm actually more pumped for Leafs game 7, but mostly because it is Game 7. Raps should comfortably beat Orlando. I feel like the street parties would be bigger for Leafs (not just due to their popularity) because they haven't been out of the first round in so long whereas Raptors are expected to go through. Can't see Raps having any issues until the ECF.

Hopefully we get more of Monday's weather moving forward. Then I'd be attending all the street parties :lol

Welp, in case people are wondering: No one predicted the score correctly. Lots of homer picks in here too.

Mike Malone is laying it on thick now regarding winning a closeout game. Dude's clowning the Spurs. If he thought the Spurs were a real threat, he would have been talking about trying to end the series in San Antonio, that its still the first team to 4, etc.. Instead, he's talking like its a foregone conclusion but it won't be easy. He knows what he's talking about and its laughable. The Spurs don't have the moxie or roster to fight. They are nothing but soft-ass jump shooters who don't play physical basketball.
