Game 7 predictions

[paperboy77]

Didn't even notice this till the end but... apparently the key to a victory is Bertans. DNP (even though he played very little). Who'd of thought? I really think SA has a shot. No more than this time do I get the feeling it's anyone's game 7. Pressure is on Denver for sure. After the thrashing of SA recently there's no way they thought it would be a "next" game. Spurs pull off the series, 105-101. Kinda feels like the year we beat the Hornets in g7. Next game were up 20 on the Lakers in the first half then it all went to and got smoked by LA.

[Mugen]

Just let it fly, tbh. They've got zero pressure on them.

[TD 21]

I'm leaning Nuggets, but unsure yet. I will say though, the Spurs' path to victory is essentially a repeat of game 1: Hope the Nuggets come out jittery and that enough of a lead can be built to where, when they inevitably find their footing, the Spurs can hang on for dear life and survive.

[jeebus]

Thuggets: 119
Spurms: 92

[HarlemHeat37]

Too difficult to predict with these streaky, erratic teams, but the Spurs best shot will be if Denver suc bs to the pressure, as TD21 said..

My fear is that Poetl and White will be in foul trouble all game..

[jdelar03]

I’ll come down to gay and the bench if they can be plus 2-5 we should be ok 111-99 Spurs

[WallyTiger]

winner get a spur or what ?

[spursistan]

Tough to see this Spurs team winning a G7 on the road.

I think we keep it close for 3 quarters and then suc b to a barrage of late threes in the face of Pet Wombat..

[Uriel]

Things giving me hope:
1. This will be the young Nuggets’ first playoff Game 7 and they will be facing a ton of pressure.
2. Our boys have regained their swagger after a dominant Game 6.
3. The pace will slow considerably and it will be a battle of halfcourt execution. The Spurs win that battle every time.

[Manong Ginobili]

Spurs win if Mills play less than 15 mins

[azarel]

spurs 107
nuggets 98

[Coach X]

Spurs 110
Denver 108

DDR hits winner putting years of playoff issues aside!

I wish. That'd be beautiful.

I'm afraid Spurs will be easily beaten by Denver. Defense is still bad, Nuggets are scoring at will and Popovich isn't trying anything different so Spurs depend on repeating an unprecedent shooting efficiency in 1on1 actions infront of a hostile crowd in a game7 and conditioned refereing.

Sadly, my prediction is closer to a blowout than a visitant win. I hope to be wrong.

I have no problem with our guys losing a game7 on the road, it's a worthy end of the season.

[SwansonInSibagat]

Spurs will win a close contest, beat the Blazers in 5, take down GSW in 6, and win the championship in 6.

[monty4329]

Murray might not be 100% after that blow from Poeltl (if I remember well Nash broke a thigh that way).

BTW the Malone crying thing and sending tapes to the league about SA screens might work to their advantage, but also ours.

[Ignazzz]

Spurs - Refs 0:3

Denver has an easier path to victory for sure. Despite the loss today, they still scored something like 70 pts in the paint. Compare that to the Spurs who hit an insane amount of mid-range shots tonight(like 20 out of 30). It's more likely that the Nuggets will continue to score at will against our ty defense than it is for the Spurs to continue hitting those difficult jumpers. The Spurs also scored 10 threes...which probably isn't happening again.

[szkorhetz]

Nuggets 110-Spurs 101

[dbreiden83080]

Slightly favor the Nuggets. Hoping for a close one. Nuggets might be really tight. 2 seed is never supposed to lose in round 1..

[Russ]

Denver is a 5.5 point favorite.

[SASdynasty!]

I’m not sure if the Spurs can win this game tbh. When’s the last time the Spurs won a game 7 playoff game on the road? 2008 against the Hornets?

Yet another moment when Parker hit the game-winner.

[Russ]

Big question -- Have the Spurs' American iso-ballers turned the corner on Denver's foreign legion (Jokic and Murray)?

(I got a kick out of putting it that way.)

[benefactor]

Rudy Gay has his confidence back and it winds up being the difference. Spurs by 5.

[vander]

Still waiting for that Bertans five 3 pointers breakout game

[GreekSpursfan]

Bottom line, if this Rudy Gay shows up the Spurs at least have a chance. If he sucks again, they probably don't.

I have zero confidence that good Gay is gonna show up.
As for my prediction, bench players won't be the reason we lose this game, the 22m and 27m players respectively will be the reason we lose.
Denver role players will be better at home and Derozan will shrink again under pressure plus LMA nonchalant play and thats how we get our L.

[alamo50]

We win by 3 in OT.
