A Game 6 Win is not Impossible

[SpursRock20]

All we need is one win. Not two. Just 1 win to take it back to S.A. If they play with the kind of passion that they finished this game with they have about a 50/50 chance of bringing it back home.

Quit with the hypocrisy. You are all pissed on how the Spurs have seemingly folded, and yet you are already saying game 6 is a loss. This series is not over.

[ALVAREZ6]

Most things aren't 100% impossible, but this is pretty close to it. What makes you think guys like Green and Neal, dudes who were ballin during the winning streak, will show up when there is even more pressure, facing elimination, in OKC? Goddamn, that places is going to be rockin.

What makes you think the Spurs will stop turning the ball over, especially on the road? In games 3 and 5 the Spurs have been turnover machines, and you simply can't turn the ball over that much against OKC because they will make you pay. On top of that the Spurs are sucking at closing out quarters, and combine that with the turnovers and the Spurs are repeatedly digging themselves too many holes to climb out of each game and it's exhausting. These effects kill their momentum. The young Thunder can afford those bad spurts more than the Spurs because they have Durant who can score whenever he wants. He can dig them out of any hole.

Oh yeah, OKC are gonna get all the calls too.

It's going to take a miracle. Duncan hasn't been better than mediocre this entire series, often he's flat out sucked donkey . Manu and Parker are gonna have to go simultaneous God-mode to win game 6 in OKC.

Optimism for the sake of optimism tbh...

Maybe this is the tipping point that puts them over hill and back on track.

[cd98]

It's impossible.

[Budkin]

I don't have anything left. You have to win this game 5.

[SpurinDallas]

Its over

[GinobiliForTres]

I got something left. I don't know what it is, but I haven't given up yet.

[noles1983]

Guarantee you the Spurs are gonna play defeated. Duncan's ass face at the end assured me of it.

[Typical London Boy]

With Game 5 being a 'must win' for the Spurs, I can only hope that the pressure is lifted off them and they can go out in Game 6 and play expressively. Nothing to lose now really.

[GrandeDavid]

I will watch and support them until the end.

[ALVAREZ6]

Maybe this is the tipping point that puts them over hill and back on track.

Well maybe, just maybe Manu drops another 35, Green, Neal, and Leonard combine for 12-16 from beyond the arc, and Tony drops 25 including a few posterizing dunks all over Ibaka, Perkins, and Durant.


Don't tell me those things are impossible, they aren't.

[spurspokesman]

The goaltending will continue.

[Horry Hipcheck]

It just seems so strange to think that these same Spurs were sending the NBA into a tizzy over what they were doing to the young, powerful Thunder in Game 2 just a few days ago. We couldn't be stopped by the hand of God and yet here we are, not even a week later, facing elimination in the most vicious remaining arena in the playoffs. The Thunder want it more. They'll do whatever it takes to get it.

The Spurs aren't dead yet. But they're on life support, holding on by whatever it is they have left to hold on with. It isn't much. But they have one more game to try and bring this thing back to San Antonio, and if they can do that - if they can somehow survive OKC for 48 minutes and get this back to Texas, then it's a best-of-one and the crowd will be chanting for them instead of against.

What are the negatives? Parker continues to vanish under pressure. Duncan is obviously exhausted. Neal, Green, and Bonner are all absolutely useless and at times complete liabilities. Leonard is still strong defensively but offers little on the offensive end. Everything about the Spurs humming offensive engine from a week ago has been disassembled and taken for scrap. Even Manu isn't consistently brilliant.

The positives? There are some, but I feel they're less dependable than the Spurs' negatives. We're not dead yet. 4 wins to the Finals, not just 3. One-up the Thunder by taking one from them in OKC and for the second time we've got a brand new series. Or go home and be added to the list - for the second time in a decade - of teams that lost a series after leading 2-0.

[Spurtacus]

Impossible, no. Unlikely, yes.

[AFBlue]

Thunder are playing at an extremely high level and will be more hyped than ever to win in front of their home crowd. But, I believe the Spurs have it in them to execute under pressure in a "win or go home" game.

[ALVAREZ6]

Spurs = Fckd

[sananspursfan21]

Impossible, no. Unlikely, yes.

Yep, spurs could come back against probably 27 or 28 teams in the league but the thunder arent even scared. It is possible they come out too y and maybe spurs pounce on it

[Russo21]

We got this! So pumped for game 6!

Manu, Tony, Tim, Kawhi, Jack, and Boris have all proved they can play in this series. All we need is one more guy to come in for a while and not completely things up, and we have enough guys to win this. All we need to do is pressure them like they pressure us, like we did in the second half. All we need is to keep moving the ball better like we did in the second half, and find some big baskets. All we need is some champions playing championship basketball, and we know these guys are capable of that.

I don't care how many people throw in the ing towel, I still believe.

[KDtrey5]

GOODLUCK WITH

1. OKC crowd which will be going nuts
2. Durant knowing he can close this out and not wanting to go to game 7
3. The refs will be our favor in home court just like the spurs were favored
4. That 3 just boosted Hardens confidence
5. Manu plays like at okc arena

last but not least

THABO SEFOLOSHA HAS TONY PARKER ON LOCK
Tony parker last 3 games 16-41 39% field goal 12 assist 11 turnovers

This.

[dbreiden83080]

Nothing is impossible but we can't get stops...

[Man In Black]

I need for at least 1 person to stare down any of the OKC 3, especially Harden. I want the death stare.
Then either one guy for 10 points or 2 guys with 6 each.
Those 8 points by Cook were the difference. That's it. It's a knot that needs to be untied and the Spurs need to not to untie it, they need to cut that er.

[SA210]

I will watch and support them until the end.
