If we lose tonight, we probably lose the series.

[rascal]

We just had their number. The Mavs are a good team and pulls lots of upsets. Their defense and mental toughness will fail them IMO.

Spurs are the toughest mentally as well. Put the spurs in their elimination game and watch them fold.

[rascal]

The Spurs have put together one solid quarter, maybe two, this entire series.

Two solid quarters and two wins. That is how bad Dallas is.

[rascal]

It's not like we won 10 straight against them right? No way we can win two straight..

They will win 3 straight in this series.

[Horse]

Agree that we lose series if we lose tonight but I don't agree that the momentum is on their side. We got that back by winning a must win Game 4 on their floor.

Let's not forget we've played much better in dallas, should've won both. Especially when you consider the clock started late and carter traveled.

[Horse]

With Blair out of game 5, we have even less of a legitimate excuse if we lose tonight...

Yeah cause he's done so much. Where would they be without him?

[mclinejr]

You really don't have a clue...

[Obstructed_View]

They will win 3 straight in this series.

Exactly. The games being a bit closer together going forward will probably help a bit. There are about six guys on the squad who are due for good games, most of whom are shooters.

[cd021]

The Mavs have a great balance of youth and experience to make a deep run if they so choose.

more of an infusion of youth, really, only Blair and Wright are young and productive in their rotation. Basically everyone else in the rotation is 32 or older except for Crowder.

Spurs sweep next 2...tbh....

[Trainwreck2100]

If the spurs lose tonight change your name

[davidbowie]

yup

[heyheymymy]

spurs in 6 imo

[bklynspursfan]

The momentum is still on their side because they have been very close to winning every game. For an 8th seed, that's a big boost to your team's psyche.

I'd argue the momentum is on our side. Blowing a big lead like that and winning a close game will mean Pop can be just as tough on them as if they lost. So I expect them to come out and play better. I guess we will see what happens.

We win tonight and the series..

[HemisfairArena]

Way to go out on a limb here,,,

spurs in 6 imo

I picked 6 at the beginning of the series, hope I was right. Most picked a sweep or 5

good call, its tough to win in big D, but looks like were right where we want to be as fans of the spurs. really hoping this doesn't go 7 and that hou and por beat each other up a little more.

Go Rockets (for at least one more night). Though it's fun watching Harden and Howard lose.

[Capster]

What a stupid thread, I'm outta here.

When we were down 2-1 after that DEFLATING Carter shot I could only hope with a game left in Dallas and the one here that we would be up 3-2 headed back there, that is the the situation we needed and hopefully they can close it out in Dallas. I am glad that shot did not flat out deflate the SPURS! That was a TOUGH one to swallow.
