Will be stunned if the Spurs can push this series past 5 games, the offense has been awful for most of these playoffs and the Spurs were always a very very overrated defensive team. Even taking the plus points on Houston should net a nice return.
You're welcome fellas
Historically, teams almost always win game 2 after a Hole game 1 loss. So this is a bad bet. Really thevsmart move is not to put money.
ButbI wouldb't put it past pop to prioritize his believe system and cultrual politics over winning. He's going to play two bigs together for 45 minutes of the 48.
I'm trying to think a scenario we win game 2.
i mean, harden will still penetrate at will and they will get open shots at will. Our shots will be contested fade aways form lamarsha or dumb forced plays by kawhi
Chances are Spurs will manage to squeak out a win in game 2 only to get demolished by 50 the next 3 games
Definitely can see this happening.
This, if not a sweep.
Really? The series is over after a Game 1 blowout?

It is difficult to see the Spurs winning tbh. Not sure if I'll bet though.
Spurs will win Game 2, and prolly by double digits.
We the bum shot 80% so that helps and was not something that was going to continue. Rockets could miss a lot more but their shots will always be better than ours.
In fairness, OKC had two top 5 players on their team and losing a road game isn't nearly as devastating as losing a home game.
Rockets are a damn good 3 point shooting team and while they may not hit 22 three's every night I'm sure they'll hit at least ten whereas the Spurs will mightily struggle to hit 10 threes. The Spurs made a 20th offensively ranked Grizzlies team look amazing, the Rockets were always going to have a field day.
I mean, that Thunder team led 3-1 on the Dubs. If we had Durant and Westbrook and two bigs who actually can dominate the paint we can come back. But we don't.
Betting on Houston is never a good idea. Spurs should have a bounce back game in Game 2.
Plus they had Ibaka who can hit shots unlike LMA.
Start dedmon he's much better defending the pick and roll. And yes stopping them is difficult but their defense is so we should get whatever we want. How many ing layups did we miss last night not to mention open 3's and fts.
Spurs are winning the next game and the series you ing gots
The game, or the series?Spurs are going to win you ing gots
Already edited tbh
Missed a lot of open 3's tbh.....
I think a lot of folks will be betting on Houston to beat that spread, but I think the Spurs win game 2 by seven or eight. Vegas will likely make a lot of money tomorrow night. That 5.5 will likely drop to 3.5 by game time.
I know it's the gimmick here, but holy some of yuse is overly sad. Do you sleep with a box of razor blades next to you at night, or camp out in your running car in your garage?
Betting against your own team is a move imo. The front office is doing everything they can do to assemble a championship team. They've been right 25% of the time over the past 20 years. Only one other team has had that kind of dominance and that team hasn't been considered a contender for the past 5 years. And ya'll are ing bc we MIGHT not make it to the WCF this year in what is still considered a very successful season that we overachieved following a lot of players being replaced.
Hee Haw Naw.....Don't think so......Unless the refs rigg this series....
Yes sir
Imagine if they miss 10 of those 3's. Just 10. You take 10 of those 3's away thats 30 points.
Spurs shot 36%! And someone posted in another thread that Spurs had 45 open looks compared to 44 for the Rockets. So we just gotta hit them. That would've made a world of difference.
And the fact is, all year, Spurs have just been a bipolar team when it comes to their offense. Some nights their on and some nights their not. You just hope that the nights that they are off, that they can hold on defense. But obviously last night they were off on a night where the Rockets shot lights out from 3.
Not saying that will cure everything, but it will definitely give the Spurs the chance to win if they can hit at least 45% of their shots and not 36%.
