Thought on the Great Spurs and Game 6

[ALVAREZ6]

Take care of the ball and you have a chance.. That is the only way they can win. They can't get stops but they can outscore them if they take care of the damn ball..

21 TO for 28 pts last night..

This is all that matters, it's what they need to focus on. They will not flat out stop the Thunder, especially at home. They can score pretty damn well. And they're great on defense, so you really need to take care of the ball.

What's most frustrating to me is this is the area in which the Spurs should be exploiting their advantage on, being older and more experienced, especially in playoff basketball. They obviously know they can't hang with the Thunder athletically, they need all the shots they can get, and that means few turnovers.

All I have to say is, the media already has OKC and Miami in the Finals. If that, along with the fact that OKC's players are acting y and the Spurs are DANGEROUSLY close to squandering a golden opportunity is not enough to motivate them, NOTHING will. Also, imagine how embarrassing it would be for them to be #1 in the West 2 years in a row, and still not get it done.

The Mavs had a problem with unforced turnovers against the Heat in the Finals. They got that problem under control and ended up winning the series. The Spurs need to do the same thing. I can't understand why Pop would not emphasize that. Especially the live ball turnovers.
