Spurs History: Tied 2-2 and Game 5

[024]

not much weight in these past games. these spurs are a different team the thunder are a different team. usually when a team storms back when under 2-0 is because the leading team was overconfident and didn't play with energy (e.g. the lakers the past few years). while that is true for this series too, the thunder are growing up. they've always had the offensive talent to run good sets and the athleticism to lock down on defense. they just never matured to this point. now that they have, the spurs are facing a more dangerous thunder team, one that didn't show up in games 1-2.

i'd say at this point, the thunder are slightly advantaged to win as opposed to the 60-40 advantage the spurs had at the beginning of the series. it is up to the spurs to adjust and the pressure switches to them.

Agreed.

Not sure any of those opponents were as explosive as this Thunder team, but it does help take my finger away from the trigger...if only for one more game.

The Spurs will bounce back. They did in Game 4, though not enough to overcome KD in God Mode. This team knows what's on the line, and they will not panic. Pop will take them back to the drawing board and the adjustments will be made. These Spurs are still a machine, albeit one that has taken a couple of solid hits over the last few days. The Thunder still have to win just as many games as we do, and we kicked their asses plenty in this series too.

I will say this: I'll be watching from LA, and if that AT&T Center crowd doesn't bring the intensity to this game, I'll fly to Texas and personally open a can. Will somebody step up and put some white shirts in the seats? Even black? I don't care. Bring the noise.
