All things considered, we’re tied 2-2.

White is not overall better than Murray. Murray is way better offensively than White is defensively. In todays NBA when you can't shoot the three and you are a guard you can never be better than another guard who can shoot it any which way, off the dribble, catch and shoot, contested. Murray's threes are the difference in this series so far and Jokic IQ of course.

Denver may not be the better team but its the team with the better talent, generally speaking. The Spurs should feel no pressure whatsoever, they're playing with house money, tbh. After last year's drama, no one outside of say a few Spurs fans thought this team would be over .500 let alone make the POs.

I disagree fam. This was the Spurs series to lose. And it should go down as a choke.

And even that is questionable if Murray is making a bunch of threes and pretty much winning games with offensive outbursts.

Jokic is a hell of a lot better than LMA or Jakob, even better than those two combined.

true, but just because we have/had very low expectations for this team, doesn't mean that we should undersell ourselves.

meh

2-2 might be considered great pre series.
But when 2 games have been Popped away, not good.
You can't expect Denver to suck for 4 of the 7 games.
Two of them already shitted away.

Still winnable series. But no more phuck ups please.
Might be too much to ask for at this point.

In 3 of 4 games the Spurs were the better team. The 4th game the Nuggets were better, but they will not have again a shooting night like that one.

In my opinion the spurs should win this series, but it all depends on the Bench. Whilst Starters doing their job (even DeRozean), the Bench is really bad. None of the 4 Bench Players had a good game until now.

Nugglest are a 2; Spurs a 7...How can you consider that a choke when the numbers and PO rank dictate otherwise? :lol

Ok. As a fan, you want your team to do well and the Spurs did this to themselves because we as fans are spoiled---they set the bar high and for the past 20 years its been non stop winning--those days are gone now and the guy that was supposed to be the next great Spur bailed--this team for what its worth is over achieving--there is no Batman on this team--we have two Robins and a bunch of Alfreds running around...the Nugs themselves are in the same position however the only difference is they have more athletic younger talent--our guys OTOH are either slow or old--the Spurs aren't done yet in this series and hell they might pull off the upset--but let's be realistic here--they aren't winning a championship this year--if we're lucky, they're ceiling is round 2.

Spurs had a 19 point lead twice in Game 2 and lost the opportunity to go up 2-0. That was a choke.

i'd say we'd be favourites in the second round, but conference finals is the ceiling unless houston somehow sneaks past the warriors which i strongly doubt.

That 19 point lead that was erased x2 just goes to show you that the Nugs are a pretty good team--you can't choke games away when you're not expected to win any of them...

you didn’t expect the spurs to win any games against Denver this series?

:lol The idea of something being "over" when it's actually tied is a shining example of irrational pessimism if there ever was one...

Spurs has this series twice and gagged and neophyte coach beating HOF overhyped wino

After tonight, there will be only nine teams still playing -- and the Spurs will be one of them (and still on serve in this series).

After tomorrow, well not so sure . . .
