Tbh, its no secret that I have been pulling pulling for the spurs post-May for over a decade. The rockets make that quite easy.
Portland plays its starters the old NBA standard of around 30-35 mpg and aren't known for a great bench. This can play into the Spurs strengths in wearing them down in several ways.
If the bench stays active and plays up to their regular season standard, our starters stay fresher for the closing minutes if our bench can maintain a level of play that is compe ive on defense and offense.
Another Spurs strategy that is a strength against the Blazer is our ball movement from side to side. It makes the oppponent work harder for longer seconds per possession as they have to run to defense our players while the ball is being passed around. Again, this tends to wear out players playing long minutes.
Our bench can be really effective when they are active on defense. It makes the opposing team work hard just to get the ball in play across the mid court line. Patty Mills is very good at being a pest on his man who is usually their ball handler.

Who's been saying that POR is a good defensive team tbh?
Yeah I sensed that but I also understand teams like losing to the champs to save face, so just clarifying

Don't you start. Not today....
based on thee stats i posted, the players that had a strong season series.
Patty vs Lillard. Patty won. Not even Batum could guard him down the stretch.
That's circular reasoning and doesn't actually answer my question at all so never mind....
In Patty we trust
I was thinking the same thing as you.
