Why I believe OKC can pull a backdoor sweep

[flipspursfan]

I am a very supers ious man when it comes to basketball

[thunderfan]

I hate predicting stuff. I rarely do. Force me to at this point and I'll predict that SA has a much, much less enjoyable time in OKC. I don't see a sweep. I don't see OKC winning 4 out of 5 either. I think it's extremely unlikely.

[YoMamaIsCallin]

my prediction before the series started:

spurs win 4-1 like this

Spurs, Spurs, Thunder, Spurs, Spurs (close out at home in game 5)

so I guess I'm predicting a loss in Game 3, but I don't feel good about that... I just really thought that it was ridiculous to predict a sweep... but now I'm not so sure.

All this talk about a perfect playoffs... not happening. OKC will almost certainly win game 3.

[Dr Cox]

That place is hard to play in..but the spurs are pretty sick on the road...hit a few threes and that crowd will shut it quick.

[ALVAREZ6]

I haven't been thinking much about the future, I've adopted the Spurs' mentality in these playoffs: one game at a time. The winning streak means nothing, the only guarantee is that there is another game tomorrow and saturday.

You said "backdoor." Huh-huh ...
YEAH, he-he-he, he-he ...

[Durant 35]

One can hope...

I'm a supers ious flip, too... but eh, not gonna happen.

Yeah we are due to lose a game. Nothing is perfect of course. But if the Spurs dig in and win the Thunder will be swept in my opinion.

Game 3 will be just as loud and intense as Game 3 against the Clippers was. I am confident the Spurs can win based on their own mentality.

I'm kinda starting to feel the same way, tbh.

Nicely stated.
While I'm also doing the "one game at a time" like ALVAREZ6 and the Spurs, truth be told i would be happy with a split in OKC.

Sure it would be cool and macho to run OKC in 4 straight but that's an extremely tall order in OKC. Don't expect it. I'll glady take 4-2 for that matter.

OKC need to win game 3, it's a must win for them, and they know it, they will come out blazing, Spurs have to absorb those first few minutes of fury and try to keep it close, if they do that I think we'll have a chance.
