The recipe to winning in the road in the post-season for the spurs..

[100%duncan]

They flushed the recipe down the drain by falling to sixth. Worse than the fact they did so, was the way they did so. Had they lose a close game in the last few minutes, it could be passed off somewhat as randomness, especially considering they were due to lose. But to essentially be blown out from the start, against a mediocre opponent, in what they should have viewed as a must win game, speaks volumes.

The path is too difficult now for a team that's running on fumes to begin with. They needed home court for a round or two, but more importantly, they needed a series they could wrap up in five.

Its aight man, you called them done years ago, shouldnt matter for you.

On the positive side, if the spurs win this series and Dallas wins their series..SAS might be able to get a much needed break heading into their series against GSW.

I'd rather they play LA now and take a breather against Dallas in the 2nd round than...Dallas first, then tough series against LA then a series against GSW....

Sure, but the Rockets are more than likely going to win that series, so there's not going to be a breather at any point.

Obviously, everyone knows it made the road more difficult, but most don't seem to comprehend that the result of that Pelicans game may very well have swung the championship.

For once, I actually think the national media is overestimating this team.

Its aight man, you called them done years ago, shouldnt matter for you.

I never called them "done". In fact, even though I, like the vast majority, had a bad feeling about the Grizzlies series going in, I never actually picked against them. The only series I ever said they wouldn't win, was one that never came to fruition: Last year, against the Thunder, had Ibaka been healthy going in.
