2014 Playoffs - Round 2, Game 4 - San Antonio Spurs @ Portland Trailblazers

[DPG21920]

Spurs played pretty good defense in the first half, but gave up too many 2nd chance points.

[ElNono]

To put a better spin on this . . . they were due for a stinker, and better now than in the WCF.

pretty much... close this Wed tho

[Horry Hipcheck]

Pop waving the flag early or???

Splitter's back in, so not quite.

[noles1983]

please take care of business wednesday spurs, don't even want a hint of a 0-3 comeback.

[philldafunk]

How many and 1 points for portland tonight

[100%duncan]

Splitter you

[ElNono]

Spurs played pretty good defense in the first half, but gave up too many 2nd chance points.

rebounding was an issue and cold shooting too...

[RD2191]

I just want to watch Mills run up the ball as fast as he can for pull up 3's the rest of the game. I want to see how many he can hit.

I've been asking for that all season. No lie.

[313]

Kawhi is the only one who showed up

[EVAY]

Ya know, this is actually getting silly.

[ElNono]

as suspected Pop resting his guys for Wed...

[Horry Hipcheck]

If Pop's serious about mounting a comeback, it isn't going to be with Mills at the wheel.

[noles1983]

whole team the bed, disgusting s. so angry, didn't even bring their C game

[superjames1992]

Ayres.

Good night. It's over.

We've got game five.

[DPG21920]

I said it early on, Spurs should be in every game due to their offense consistently getting good looks. Even if they miss some (like they did in the first half) they get enough good looks and play good enough defense initially to prevent a huge blowout.

Only way the Spurs don't have a chance is if 3 of the following 4 happen (or all):

1) Lot's of TO's - especially if they don't force as many as they give up.

2) Lot's of offensive rebounds - especially if they stop getting those themselves this series.

3) They miss a lot of shots, good or bad.

4) They foul too much.

They can really survive 2 of the 4 and still be in the game. If they only have 1 of the 4 happen, it's basically guaranteed they have a legit shot to win. It's all about not giving POR too many extra possessions.

Bad on 1-3.

[Crookshanks]

OMG - I'm sitting here laughing at all the cliff jumpers thinking this game is some sort of statement and is going to change the outcome of this series. Time to call it a night and go to bed - too much stupidity on here tonight.

[DMC]

Good point, why bother watching the rest of the playoffs if we're not contenders right?

I'm not watching it now. Haven't been since the half. I know things.

[KaiRMD1]

Yeah, the Spurs have quit

[ShoogarBear]

Maybe Stotts will play LMA, Lillard, and Matthews another 40 minutes tonight.

[Ice009]

This blow out win will give the Blazers enough confidence to be able to Backdoor sweep the spurs.

If you lose confidence this easily being up 3-0, you may as well just curl up in the fetal position. I have no idea if you're being serious or not, but what you're saying is beyond pathetic.

[noles1983]

belli can go play in traffic

[Horry Hipcheck]

Pop not going with any of the lineups from the first three games, clearly letting the Blazers slap the Spurs around a bit so they remember what compe ion is like before destroying Portland in Game 5 and resting for the WCF.

[100%duncan]

pop is a got for not putting in TP and TD at the start of the 4th. On to the next one.

[DMC]

How much time was left on the clock when Pop pulled the plug?

[EVAY]

Blazers have been embarrassed by us for three games, and they are returning the favor tonight.
