After seeing the results of Saturday's Game 7s, I'm expecting a Spurs loss. League doesn't want all home teams winning.
The key to this game is defending Ellis (I don't know how but I hope Pop does) and defensive rebounds. Splitter/Diaw will once again be tasked to guard Dirk and so, it is vital that Duncan win the battle for rebounds. From the games I got to watch, it appears Duncan was frequently being pushed out of position for rebounds, either by Dalembert or Blair. For the Spurs to be victorious later, they must prevent Mavs from having 2nd chance opportunities.
Confident that they can win? Absolutely. Confident that they actually will win? Not so much. I'd say the odds are about 55 to 45 in the Spurs' favor.
Hope for the best, prepare for the worst.

The worst thing is that you've got CoP members on here trashing other players while ignoring their own god's disastrous series. But, but.. he hit a fluke three in game 5. Hero.. Warrior.

Spurs all the way. No Doubt!

they'll wake up in a playoff elimination game, if not they don't deserve anyway
Danny and Marco will own Mavs tonight! GSG!
I expect us to get demolished today. If not, we'll still lose.
Lots of Mavs fans in the building early. They seem pretty confident. Building is generally pretty dead.
I'll be shocked if the Spurs get this one. I can see a game that's fairly tight early, but with the Mavs building a lead I the middle that stays around 6-11, with Spurs fans feeling like just one more run will get them home, only to have the Mavs make 2 or 3 big shots to stretch the lead and end hope. Somehow feels like that kind of day to me.
