I've come down from a 7, however things still look tenuous

Not terribly worried about this round, but every game the Spurs extend this series drops their chances going forward. The whole "ooh yay we got a split on the road lol" is for teams that are grateful to get into the second round.
They really need to get this done in six. I have a su ion OKC will win Game 5 back in their own gym but I don't think they're likely to extend the series much beyond that.
at least they will have a longer rest at home compare to what they had after game 3
Still a 3/10. They won one in GS. Expect a win in game 5.
for this serie I'd say 5
for Memphis if we win the serie against GS I'd say 11
1, but 1 will shoot to 10 if we lose game 5.
4. It becomes 8 if they lose Gm 5.
4 spurs were up by 6 or 8 with 5 mins left. we just missed some shots.manus crossover shot almost sealed the deal. Spurs will win the next two. In a potiental 7 game series the best team will win. theres a reason gs is 6th seed
This league is about matchups golden state is probly the worst for us cause they're quick and athletic, I think we take them in six. I believe we are the worst matchup for the grizz who are maybe slower and just as unathletic as we are. We have enough D to hold down their offense and I believe too much offense for them. Remember they're playing a one man okc team.
unathletic ? grizz are pretty athletic in my book. If we play Grizz they would be favorite to win the serie
If the spurs don't win game 5 they won't win game 6. The spurs will lose the first time they are 1 game away from elimination. This current Spurs team has no heart when facing their elimination. I expect the Spurs to win games 5 and 6 to avoid being in the 1 game elimination zone.
The Spurs will beat GS but will lose to a healthy Memphis team. Memphis will control the boards against the soft rebounding Spurs and they are young and athletic enough as compared to the Spurs.
This is what happens when Pop and RC build a team around old and athletically challenged players. They have been building their teams like this for years. They can get away with it during the regular season and put up great regular season records because the system works during the regular season but when the playoffs roll around the Spurs are fighting against quicker more athletic younger teams and falling short unless they get a lucky matchup against an injured team.

Not in trouble but they better ing play like they are!
2. Spurs win big tonight and fight off the scrappy squad in a game 6 closeout on the road.
The problem is we need to play to our strengths yet Pop insists on playing to the other team's strengths in the playoffs. We've got to get solid frontcourt production from more than Duncan to win. Our guards aren't enough. I still remember Doug Collins saying in '10 when we were getting swept by the Suns that it didn't make sense for Pop to play small since we weren't good enough.
The Spurs need to win playing their style of ball else it won't be sustainable.
Just to play devil's advocate to my earlier position, at least the Spurs came out and played a complete game tonight. Follow it up Thursday with another convincing performance and it'll be a positive thing that they ended the series playing good basketball.
Pop will go back to small ball and Neal and Bonner, lol... then play this kind of game in game 7. Pop Trolling. No, seriously, this shows what happens when we attack the paint and play defense.
They are at a 3 right now as they were after game 3, in the lead but as Gold said above more NEAL and BONNER! Pop just doesn't get it for long.
Agreed on all accounts too, play D and attack!
1.
This series is OVER. Pop DOES NOT LOSE once he gets that third win in a series.
