Green needs to play better so Manu can be fresh to take over the game if he needs to
At least 10-15. You know they are going to come out on fire. Doesn't mean we lose by any means though.

i say most is 12..itll be intense
It's actually a good thing if the spurs go into half-time with some kind of deficit. They'll play more aggressive afterward and will make a win in OKC much more memorable.
The depth will wear them down.
A better question to ask is, from how many points down will they rally en route to another gleaming Bill Simmons article heaping praise upon anyone who calls themselves a member of the Spurs organization?
Sometimes I think the Spurs play better on the road as they seem to focus more on the game and less on home crowd cheers/pressure. Tonight is super important because if we win the series is all but over, if we lose it changes the whole series.

pop will rest timmy cause he played too many minutes in the previous games. so will gino and tony. derrick byars will start at PF and Blair at C tbh
TBH I can't see the Spurs falling behind by too much. One thing to just try and whether the 1st quarter storm from the Clippers and then take it from there, but I can't see the Spurs wanting to go that route with OKC. I'm expecting the Spurs to come out with guns blazing from the tip off to try and establish a lead early.
Since the Spurs aren't a momentum team (so much) but get the shots they want almost always, it's going to come down to forcing Westbrook to shoot the ball (hard to do I know). If we can get Westbrook pissed early, it should be the Spurs' game to lose.
I honestly don't see the Spurs playing worse there than here. They are what, 27 and 3 or something stupid like that in the last 30 road games?
we need to start dejuan tonight. we will need15-20 pts from him and/or diaw tonight plus around 15 from tim.
sadly, i think we get down early and get blown out. 20.
12, then come back and win. Spurs in funf!
I don't buy this "OKC will come out on fire" talk. Why should the home team come out on fire in Game 3 but not the visitors? Does the home team automatically rush out to a 15-point lead by virtue of being desperate and at home? Four years ago the Suns were 0-2 at home and trailing the Spurs in the playoffs. The Spurs, not the Suns, were the team that jumped out to an early lead and led 77-55 at one point.
We're still scarred mentally by Game 3s in 2004 against the Lakers and 2005 against the Pistons.
Since then, the Spurs have had 2-0 leads against the Suns, Jazz and Clippers in 2008, 2012 and 2012 - and won Game 3's in all of them.
For some reason, every one thinks we got blown out in game 3 in Detroit. That game was back and forth for about 2.5 quarters and then the Pistons took over. We were still within 8 with about 3 or 4 minutes to go when Bowen hit a three.
