Game Thread: PLAYOFFS. Rnd 1, Game 3: Spurs vs Nuggets — 8:00/C (4:00am Riga Time)

Stating the obvious, but whoever wins this game wins the series. Game four will be the same as well.

That's a paradox, my friend. What if different teams win games 3 and 4?

[BillMc]

Rockets odds are way low. You tell me if they played this season's playoffs 50 times Houston only wins once?

Spurs chances to win this series also too low. I give it about 50/50

Then the world asplodes.

[sasaint]

its not a "must win" but it feels that way. after outplaying the nugs the last 2 games in denver despite LMA playing poorly, there's no reason they shouldn't come out strong and take this one convincingly.

Disagree. This is a “must win.” If we win this one, then game 4 becomes a “must win,” too.

[NASpurs]

Every game is a must win for this team. They've been Jekyll and Hyde all year long.

People are still stuck in the past with their way of thinking.

I'd say real championship odds are closer to: Warriors 90%, Rockets 6%, Bucks 3%, Others 1%, tbh.

And, yeah, Spurs vs. Denver is closer to 50/50 than 25/75.

Spurs by 11

Agreed on all counts.

There's no way this was post-injury. Six months out from a torn ACL, no doctor would be allowing windmills, tbh. And Murray would at least have a wrap on his knee.

Maybe. He posted it to his IG last night with no caption. Could be an old clip but he’s leading ppl to believe it’s recent.

denver was 20-21 on the road this season... spurs 32-9 at home.

lets get it done

[RC_Drunkford]

I expect Rudy Gay to have a big game after he stinked it up in Game 2. This gotta be a Spurs blow out win

[RD2191]

Why the is this game starting at 8?

[RC_Drunkford]

Mills revealed before Game 2 he’s been playing with a hyperextended left thumb since late in the regular season. “It’s OK,” he said. “You really only feel it when you go to pass the ball, or if you catch it on someone or something.”

Patty Mills is playing with a wrap on his left thumb, which he hyperextended late in the regular season. Says it doesn’t really affect him much, usually only when he goes to pass the ball. Said he played much of the season with a similar injury on right hand. “That was worse.”

Why is Pop not resting Mills?

Denver was the best home team in the league this year and the ty Road Spurs stole one tbh

[spurs10]

Obviously, biggest game of the season.

This! 'Say no more, say no more...nod, nod, wink, wink!'

This is a post of yours I like and agree with. Spot on , hit the nail on the head.

[Blackhaus]

a thumb, patty has more like a hyperextended body. So tired of seeing him run around out there with no direction and get bent over on defense.

[BillMc]

This! 'Say no more, say no more...nod, nod, wink, wink!'

A nod's as good as a wink to a blind bat!

[apalisoc_9]

Lol the raptors will win the LOBT. Sadly.
