Thinking you could win G7 at Oracle when @DET is your best road win all season.....

[K...]

Yeah we should just forfeit any game in Oracle arena, any game where bogut or Iggy plays, or any game where curry says he's feeling good. It's just a huge waste of time to play those games.

meh..don't think the Warriors are going 0-3 in SA..

That's the Spurs' only chance, unless you think they're capable of winning two in Golden State, including game 7.

Last night was a prime example of why they have a better record than the Spurs. They continuously pull games out of their ass, that they don't deserve (a longtime staple of elite teams) and the Spurs almost never do.

When the big three were closer to their prime, I almost always felt they'd find a way in those situations; now, I almost never do.

That's because the Big 3 still think they can run the offense at the end of games. They are small, unathletic, and predictable and the refs don't respect then except Duncan sometimes. When the role players don't have it away from home, Go with your prime players.

The Clippers will eliminate GS in round 2, so I'm not worried.

They blew a 25 points lead and can't make a push later after they happen to a close game against Hornets and ing Jeremy Lin... You want to talk about game 7? What right you have? Just because you beat them only barely at home, when you make big preparation against them while Warriors were on b2b, missing key players and just play natural with off night of Curry and Thompson... You also forgetting the last time Warriors where at full force against the Spurs, when it was the biggest ass opening ever! How can you talk about game 7? Even if you succeed getting to the conference finals and face the Dubs you should first think on how you don't get swept by them!

I do think there's some indecision when Parker and/or Ginobili close alongside Leonard. When they don't though, there's a lack of ball handling/play making and the refs damn sure don't respect Leonard, either.

In general, the offense doesn't run smoothly in these situations, but even when they do generate good looks, the inability of the role players, to shoot, on the road, particularly against .500 or better teams, has killed them for going on two years.

What's the Spurs 3pt percentage on the road against +.500 teams?? Serious question

[Spurtacular]

If the Spurs drop one at AT&T; they have to win 2 at Oracle. Should be possible, tbh.

[AFMadison]

Time to get a in' grip about the mountain to climb for us ...

I think Spurs fans should just stop acting like pussies.

[Hoops Czar]

Most of these players dont step up against average teams on the road, if we're being completely ing honest. Green has actively stepped DOWN this year.

Yes, home/road matters but the teams will be roughly on the same travel schedules throughout the series vs. weird travel when on road trips during the regular season (exception being days you get back home for a B2B and road team got in a day earlier). Goal should be to get the Thunder series over as quickly as possible to avoid a 2008 situation after the Hornets series.

Atmosphere will be difficult, so let's hope that they get to 72+ wins and a bunch of tech geeks buy up the tickets from the real fans and kill the vibe.
