Yea when neal got into the game I said-- oh
I want Green to sustain some D
Exactly, cut the damn turnovers and that is enough to win. We really one more guard to hit some 3's and stretch the floor, can't afford for Neal and Green to both be shooting bricks left and right.

After thinking more at it, I'm going with a 30% chance for Spurs to win game 6.
In addition of Spurs being able to get a fluke/miracle win, I see two positive factors for Spurs that up their chance:
1) Some players won't quit. Duncan, Ginobili, Parker, Jackson.. are tough minded players. They won't stop trying hard just because Spurs are down 3-2.
2) Spurs will be in a nothing to lose game and it might free up some players who have struggled. Green, Neal or Splitter might stop overthinking what they are doing on the court and just start playing their game.
I don't want to give Spurs' fans some false hope because the likely outcome is of course Thunder winning game 6 but I don't consider that as being unavoidable.
Forgot about the Dallas series in 2006, game 6 on the road to force a game 7. It took Terry getting suspended for us to pull that one out though.
Spurs played with a lot of heart in coming back from 3-1 down against Dallas in 2006, and that Mavs team was probably as good as this OKC team. I think that Spurs team had more heart though. They were seriously pissed that the refs basically stole two games from them in Games 3 and 4.
We'll see what kind of heart this Spurs team has. They're just not mentally engaged for 48 minutes, and at OKC you have to be sharp from beginning to end with no let up.
Is Patty Mills capable of filling in?
Because Parker at times has been the buzzkill.
Honestly, I remember last years crappy Spurs putting up a of a fight in Memphis in Game 6, even though they still ended up losing. I expect Manu, Tim, Tony, Jack, and Kawhi to come out fighting and give it their all. I know that for a damn fact. The question is, who else wants to join them?
Better than 50%!!!
If we had won game 5 it probably would be around 20% but I have a feeling the Spurs have something left and OKC might look at the Finals a little to early!
I'm confident we at least can make it 7 games!
One thing LJ is right about is Thunder always seem to come back and nothing fazes them. Even in the regular season game @OKC when Blair beasted early, we were up 26 in the 2nd quarter and by early in the 4th they actually led by a couple before Green got hot and we won that game.
Green and Blair... lol. Seems like 50 years ago.
lol at including Parker with those other players...guy being so easily neutralized is why the spurs have lost 3 in a row.
I haven't seen a championship Spurs team show such disregard for the ball. It's ridiculous. Even simple things like dribble handoffs were becoming turnovers.
If Tony maximizes his skillet, we have a damn good chance of winning. He has to let it fly. He's been reluctant.
Game 6 is a career defining game for Parker.
I actually remember the Spurs putting up a pretty good fight in Game 6 at Memphis considering they had Manu with 1 arm, no front-line outside of TD, and a pussy in RJ. I expect this team with a healthy Manu, TD, Tony, Jax, and Kawhi to put up a way better fight than last years team in that elimination game.
Spurs will win game 6.
It is a fact.
I want to believe, but this game took it all out of me.
Put me in the okc extended celebration column. Lots of okie alley oops and re ed spurs turnovers. Fuuuuuck
That's the way I see it too. OKC is just too good right now.
You knew when we roared into the lead in the 3rd today that they'd come back at us, and soon enough we were down 9 again. Our vaunted bench has been mostly pathetic in this series, digging holes for the starters to dig out of. Ugh.
Yep, the bench is really contributing to the Spurs failing to close out quarters. I'd hazard a guess that the Spurs +/- over the final 3 minutes of quarters would be just disgusting.That's the way I see it too. OKC is just too good right now.

5%
If Tony lays an egg in game 6 I want him shipped out of here as soon as possible. Maybe for a draft pick. That 6'5" PG from Europe can take over.
The fact that Green, Tiago, Bonner, Blair and Mills are out of the lineup dont make me optimistic. TP has dropped his energy of play like he's being blackmailed.
I just don't understand what happened to these guys. It's mind boggling and depressing as . We were well on our way to #5
Nervous for game 6 but we have gotten better every game and the star power has really been the difference the past 3 games.
The others have really been the difference; it was Cook tonight his 3 minutes changed the whole game.
Confidence was soaring and we seemed to be improving - then the Spurs fell off a cliff.
Well, it's happened before, and I wonder if that's part of the problem. Spurs look snakebit and psyched out, as in "Oh nooo, not this again..."
Spurs faced their demons and the demons won.
