It went to 6 games 2 years ago. Hopefully history repeats itself in that regard as well. Gotta win tomorrow.. It needs to rain 3's

I fully expect us at one point to be the the first team in NBA to blow series 3-0 lead ..You know, it is going to happen to the Spurs..
That record could be broken the next round. Imagine if the Spurs-Warriors are tied at 2-2.
Imao. So fucking true.Quote:

All about adjustments. Pop could opt to go small, he could start Diaw to open the floor up now, etc... It was in Game 5 the last series that he went with Bonner to start to open up the floor/paint area. Let's see what he has up his sleeve now.Quote:

Can't really argue with this. For all the success we've had, our history is filled with gut wrenching collapses and fluke shit that always seems to go against us.Quote:

Unfortunately Spurs like to rewrite history ...
"history" :lol
Gay
OKC was 21-17 vs. +.500 teams, this season, along with having a bottom 10 defense vs. those teams, in addition to having a rookie coach..would be one of the most embarrassing losses in franchise history if the Spurs lose this series, tbh..
History has historically been on the Spurs side when they choked.
What worries me a little bit is that westbrook is due for a monster night, lets hope it doesnt happen in game 5 :lol
So is Leonard.Quote:

I'm worried.
I hate the Thunder's version of Sid the Sloth and I can't stand when the Spurs lose to the Thunder - ever. That team sucks balls and is bottled up with all sorts of juvenile drama. Durant acts like an immature child and Westbrick looks like one.

It doesn't take into account the Timmy factor of how much does he have left?Quote:

1. Timmy's decline makes us a different team.
2. The team that is playing right now is not exactly the same that got those wins. Several of those games would not have been won without contributions from Anderson, Simmons, Boban and even Rasual. Not sure Kmart was better for us than Rasual TBH. Rasual came up and helped through the season. Kmart was accommodated and given more chances than Rasual was since seeding didn't matter and we came up with unexpected losses. Rasual>Kmart.
3. This is just my take and I will get heat but whatever, I get heat anyways. It felt like we were two teams through the season. The veteran team, that was spared by blowouts early in the season. The younger team that stepped up when the veterans got injured. They were just good enough to keep winning, but no blowouts. Sure the veterans are better but the ceiling on the team would have been much lower if we had to rely on them more, and didn't have these younger guys helping through the season.
If you take those guys from the RS we don't have this record TBH. Basically what this means is that the guys who are actually playing without those 3 are not a 67 win team. The identity of this team is different. I an not calling for more minutes for these 3, but I am not going to pretend they were superfluous and insignificant in the overall team record. That's why the point differential guys never really got me convinced either.
Nice stat. I wish it was that simple. If the Spurs lose game 5 to a sorry ass team like OKC, they don't deserve to compete for a title and were never good enough. It would be 2 home losses in a row too.
A quick dose of energy and sense of urgency is in order. My hope is that the Spurs win Game 5, Tim plays well and the Spurs go back to OKC with 'closing out' in 6 on the brain.
Which woukd make the loss historical too...

If we lose Game 5, then it's going to be OKC in 6, and we would've never gotten past the Dubs, anyway.
It's all about Game 5.

Spurs about to make history one way or another. Just covering all their bases tbh. Smart fucks.

There's always a first time for something. Of course it'd be us.
