    The Spurs won a nail biter in Game 5, but looking at these stats, teams who were on the brink of elimination that had a wide margin of victory tended to do poorly in the following game. Only once in the last 10 times has a team won in a blowout in Game 5 and also won Game 6. In fact, of those nine times it didn't happen, only two were wins by single digits.


    Maybe it's good the Spurs won a close one instead



    * 2010 East Finals: Magic win Game 5, 113-92, lose to Celtics Game 6, 96-84.

    * 2010 West First Round: Mavs win Game 5, 103-81, lose to Spurs in Game 6, 97-87.

    * 2010 West First Round: Nuggets win Game 5, 116-104, lose to Jazz in Game 6, 112-104.

    * 2009 West First Round: Blazers win Game 5, 88-77, lose to Rockets in Game 6, 92-76.

    * 2008 West First Round: Rockets win Game 5, 95-69, lose to Jazz in Game 6, 113-91.

    * 2007 East Semifinals: Nets win Game 5, 93-82, lose to Cavaliers in Game 6, 88-72.

    * 2007 East Semifinals: Bulls win Game 5, 108-92, lose to Pistons in Game 6, 95-85.

    * 2006 East FInals: Pistons win Game 5, 91-78, lose to Heat in Game 6, 95-78.

    * 2006 West First Round: Suns win Game 5, 114-97, win Game 6 vs. Lakers, 126-118.

    * 2004 East Semifinals: Heat win Game 5, 94-83, lose to Pacers in Game 6, 73-70.

    This is the point I made in other thread. Much better this way. Memphis is still stewing about this loss, you can bet on that...it will gnaw at their gut for a year. Had they gotten blown out, they would not even think twice about it.

    They won't admit it, but that Neal 3 was a backbreaker for the Grizz. All the pressure is on them now. If they don't close it out in Game 6, it's over...the Spurs WILL win Game 7.

    The Griz are toast.

    There is no way in that they win another game in this series.

    Mark my words.

    Don't you have a reputation of predicting exactly the opposite of what is going to happen?

    If you want to look at history, you should know that teams down 3-1 hardly ever come back to win the series.

    Yup maybe it will let spurs have some motivation for game 6 ina meaning that Grizz still were better and they got lucky.

    If the Grizz would let up, they would prob ulate all they grind to the game at they court

    What are the stats for teams that are down 3-1 and win game 5 by a close margin fewer than 5 points? You are not considering that side with the stats and conclusion you are making.

    Again Spur fans just wanting to see things the way they want the outcome to work out the way they want it to work out. You clowns have been doing this all year long.

    What are the stats for when teams are down 3-1 and missed their best player in game 1?

    history and records won't hand the victory to you.

    1 game at a time.

    but right, always look on the bright side. guys need to be motivated..
