I'm putting them at around 60%... I'm sure Pop talked to them about appropriate fear, etc, but man, that Game 1 set the bar way high...

OP forgot to login to his dabom acct, tbh
Nah. Biggest game in franchise history tonight
Depends on how you define "letdown". I think SA could lose this game but it might have more to do with this being the biggest game OKC has had since their finals.
KD free agency. Fully healthy. No more excuses. I think OKC could come out amazing, but I think SA still can play really well and I would not consider that a letdown.
I think the Spurs are a better team and focused so I don't anticipate a letdown, but a tough game if OKC is focused. But they seem fragile so who knows.
Something's different about this team. I expect another trip to Oz for OKC.
Speaking of odds:

yes they need to shoot better than 79% or i'll go nuclear UNT on your pansy assess
You saw how Leonard and LMA came out last game, right? Odds are 0.00%. These cats are dialed in!
I mean the Spurs aren't going to shoot 82% in the first quarter again, but I'm not too worried about them at home. Oklahoma City definitely has the personnel and talent to win this series, but I think the Spurs will handle business.
I think it will be a bit more competitive, but not a letdown
Billy Donovan.
The Spurs look hungry af.
zero percent
>10%
Spurs will be fine.
The team as a whole seems locked in and have the eye of the tiger. They have been ignored all year and are looking to make golden state, the NBA and the media look like fools for the warriors circle jerk all year.
They want to give them all a nice shitburger to eat. This series is over in 5 and there will be no let down tonight.
Odds of game getting "chippy"? At least, by the Thunder. David West ain't havin that shit. :lol
Game three is bigger for OKC. They know in the back of their mind they can come back from an 0-2 deficit
Much closer game tonight but if the Spurs can just keep the defensive intensity up they got this.
I could see this game being officiated poorly for us. I don't think they will let us be as physical with Westbrook/durant/ibaka at the rim. I think that will make a difference tonight. Along with Durant being on fire from the start.
We are winning this game..no letdown!
OKC would probably do well in the East.
Fuck OKC !!!
Spurs got this

So often, after the Spurs have an outrageous shooting night, the next game they can't hit anything. I mentioned that in the game thread, and Spurs4TheWin dug up several recent examples where they shot extremely good in back to back games. Most of them were from the 2014 playoff campaign, so if the Spurs continue their shooting barrage tonight, I'm going to take it as a good sign for #6.
I was really impressed with the Spurs' aggressiveness to start the first game. They're going to need it again tonight, because OKC is going to have some serious red-ass, after that spanking they took. The Spurs can't afford any let-down, especially to start.
Remember how OKC completely dominated the Mavs in Game 1, and people declared the series over. The Mavs propmtly came back and stole Game 2.
I could see the same thing happening here.

Keep your eye on the tiger!
65% TBH
I'd say a letdown quarter. And we get back into by halftime. Then we blow them away in the 3rd.
100%
God, 2/14 to begin the game :pctoss
So everyone still think OKC isn't capable of winning this series? This ain't the Grizzlies.
Fuck op and his player fan heart. Pink ell Nino for this cursed thread
Welp
Thundereff h
Showed up early.
The spurs are so fuckin predictable.
Pitiful loss, now this series goes 6 at the very least.
Playing like shit and it's still a game.
Kawhi letdown for sure....
Aldridge was the one I was worried about having a letdown, god damn, he played even better :lol
Kawhi though...
