Maybe this game will drive the message home that we can't play to 75% of our potential and expect to win in the playoffs. Also I was wrong about this series, it's not 2014 vs. the Heat, it's the first-round 7-game series vs. Dallas. This is our chance to get our asses into gear and start executing like the elite contender we're capable of being.
Should is the key word. I like what I've seen from Kawhi and Parker. Starting to play more consistent. Role players will be better at home as well.Quote:

I expect a different team in Game 5, and a solid close-out win in Game 6.
Yes..losing to this OKC team with HCA would be embarrassing as fuck..Quote:

Spurs did exactly what they needed to do, get home court back. You know this team ain't losing at home again. You can count on them coming back and playing well enough to win game 5.
That whole "Get a split on the road" shtick, aside from being asinine, only works when you actually win your home gamesQuote:

Hopefully Curry is no better than 70% otherwise no one's touching GSW.Quote:

No way.
They don't stand a shot if Curry is remotely healthy and at home to boot, neither team is passing them but it would BE NICE to pass this Thunder team and break it up.Quote:

The TP/KL/LMA connection doesn't work very well when guys aren't taking the open look. All those passes are to get that open look, but they up fake, put the ball on the floor, get trapped, pass out of to a wide open shooter who hesitates, up fakes, drives in and looks lost again.Quote:

Exactly. This Spurs team is nothing special. Had OKC not choked with the turnovers and just slowed down in Game 3, the Spurs would be on the brink of elimination.Quote:

And not to mention the wheels have fallen off for Duncan. Duncan is my favorite player ever, but I think they'll be better next year if he retires, hopefully they can find a solid big to replace him.
