If it goes 7, no way we lose. It took LeBron to play crazy good to beat us IN MIAMI.Quote:

I just hope that we win and hit a meaningless three in Batum's face in the last game of the series.
Spurs in 5 or 7. If the series end in 6, it's the Blazers winning.

Did you watch Game 7? If the Spurs play anything remotely close to how they played today, they will smash the Blazers.Quote:

Green has been great on Lillard whenever he's been on him. The problem is that Pop doesn't like going to that matchup very often. Batum is a big guard more than he's a small forward. I don't think he and Leonard are very similar. I want LA to guard Duncan. Aldridge is a younger Dirk. The Spurs are better equipped to defend him than any team in the league.Quote:

Blazers will be a tougher opponent than the mavs.
:lol @ they have the same players that the mavs without the bench.
This team is full of young leg, they have great 4th quarter players mainly Batum / Lillard
spurs will need to play with same kind of focus and intensity than during game 7
pretty accurate, Though Robinson and Williams are solid. The foreign legion should have much better series against PortlandQuote:

It should be much easier to shut down Lillard than Ellis because Portland can't just swing the ball and run essentially the same play with another guard. Portland is going to live or die by what Lillard can do against whomever the Spurs put on him.
It depends on which TP we get.
I think this first round struggle against Dallas is just what the Spurs needed, a little tune up. Tony looked fine so hopefully the ankle won't be an issue going forward.
spurs in 7
Every series from here on out will go 7. You should have that expectation from the outset. This Blazers team is REALLY good.
Yuuuuuuuppp
