lol.....could not resist.
I say slightly higher chance
If they are then they are wasting their money. This series will be decided on Friday at the AT&T center.

It was a nice run, but it's over. See you all next season!!!
Not that I care about the "level" ... but I'll toast to this. 50/50 for either team (for game 6).
Which might be their undoing. Their confidence level might be high enough to not be properly scared of us. Yes, they'll know it will be hard, but somehow, like most of you, they'll be thinking it's over. I can guarantee, to Tim Duncan, Stephen Jackson, Manu Ginobili, Boris Diaw, and Tony Parker it's not over. My only concern are the rotations. Tiago, Green, and Bonner have collapsed seemingly, but will have to get some pt you'd think. Neil and Blair will get minutes. I wonder if Pop doesn't change the bigs lineup and decide to use Diaw in the second unit where we need his experience and passing. We need to win one game. If the Thunder are invincible we won't, but I don't think they are. If they blink, we have a shot.

The Spurs' chances have less to do with how they perform in Game 6 than with how OKC performs.
If OKC continues playing the way they have since Q4 of Game 2, there is nothing the Spurs can do to beat them. All of what once were OKC's weaknesses have disappeared, so with the Thunder executing at such a high level, the Spurs' talent disadvantage is decisive.
Against most teams, including probably Miami, SA wins Games 4 and 5.
Except for Westbrook going into hero mode, which came so close to being the Spurs salvation last night.
Yeah probably but it would have been ugly wins, still...that's the major point. They're in a kind of a slump.
46% Not. Over.
I'm confident the Spurs can win Game 6, but not very confident that they will actually win it.
The Thunder are playing very, very well right now. They don't turn it over nearly as much as they used to, they have found a way to play team basketball, they have adjusted defensively and the Spurs haven't found an answer to that, and, last but not least, the Thunder have the best individual player in this series on their team.
I am very, very confident that the Spurs will take game 6.
Not like I have any other choice to be honest. Its either be depressed or be optimistic.
Cant get depressed over a basketball game so I'm going with the positive here.
Spurs are more than capable of winning 2 games in a row against this Thunder team. The question is, will the Spurs players show the fire to want it? Unlike game 5.

They're done.
Going to be a blowout. Manu and Jackson might put up enough of a fight to be close after the first quarter, but the dead legs of Duncan, the typical playoff shrinkage of Parker, and the absolute armageddon of choking Spurs shooters, combined with Pop's postseason work gives them a 99.9% chance of quitting by the second half.
Even though we are up 3-2 I'm very nervous...
As a Spurs and Mavs fan, I'm seeing grim similarities to the Mavs-Heat Finals in 2006.
If there were ever a time for the Spurs to draw upon all of their "championship experience," this would be it. After all, Duncan, Parker, Ginobili were around when the Spurs nearly came all the way back from down 3-1 against Dallas in 2006.
that sounds about right.
Spurs need a great game and either Harden or Durant an off night.
Feasible, but definitely not 50%
80%
Spurs have it in them, just gotta find it... like Neo lol
30% or so and I have a feeling I'm being generous.
Its not that the Spurs are worse than we thought they were just last week. Its really not. I think against any other team in the league right now the Spurs would be doing whatever they wanted. But in these playoffs, the Thunder have shown an incredible tenacity and teh ability to always fight back. There is no quit in OKC at all and when you put that on top of their incredibly talented team then you have a very dangerous combination.
I believe the Spurs should go back to what got them here (with the exception of playing Bonner). That means start Danny Green and that means sticking with the big man rotation that was established at the end of the season wth the exception of Bonner. Green may go for 8 and Tago may foul out with 6 offensive fouls while trying to post up Derek Fisher but the reason we won 20 in a row had everything to do with our role players stepping up.
We can't try to put it all on the Big 3's shoulders becasuse at this point in their careers the Thunder has the better big 3. Like it or not, we'll only win if Danny Green and the rest of the "others" find their game.
Joey it is, according to McDonald.
A good thing, tbh.
roughly 30%.
Seems like a sizable chance for the Spurs, but then again a much larger chance for OKC. It's going to be a very tough game, but if they limit turnovers, stay out of foul trouble, and shoot reasonably well, they should be in the game and who knows then what happens down the stretch.
As always in this series, turnovers are key. Cannot turn the ball over vs. OKC.
How confident? 100%, because why not?
If Tony Parker comes back to life, then I like the Spurs' chances. The only question is, will he?
My confidence level is up to 30%.
Could one vintage performance from TD save the day? Is that so unfathomable?
2% sounds about right.
To be honest, I lost confidence after game four, when it became apparent to me that the Spurs had lost confidence. As I always say, believing is half the battle. I honestly was as confident as I came off before that though. But if you'd have told me that the Thunder, who turn it over the most in the league, would suddenly significantly cut down on turnovers to the point that they've won the turnover battle through five games with one of the best in the league at not turning it over and that they'd go from last in the league in assists, to racking them up at a high rate, then I wouldn't have picked the Spurs in the first place. There was no rational reason to think that would happen though. To all of a sudden change who you are mid series, I don't recall seeing that before. They've defied one of the go-to lines of thinking in the NBA, about how "you are who you are".
