    The article states game 7 vs New Orleans was on a Monday night while game 1 vs Lakers was on a Wednesday night. Therefore, NOT A B2B.
    No back to back you are right, I took first the date of the article but it was made a day after the NO game.

    They did fly directly from New Orleans to LA but it was NOT a b2b. They didn't have time to fly back to SA and then fly to LA for a potential game 1 so they packed their bags with the intention they would win game 7 in New Orleans and fly directly to LA after the game.
    I looked it up, you are right. It did pretty much end up being a back to back after that bull with the plane though.

    You ever need any Spurs gear, I will buy it and send it to you.
    I can get it much cheaper than you most likely.
    The KL jerseys are everywhere now.
    Cheers man, that is really kind of you. I'm in the Vegas area for another ten days before going back to Europe, so I'm going to get myself some Spurs stuff (at least a hat, maybe a jersey) at some sports store in the city center. (But away from the Strip, where all the stores are rip offs). If I can't find anything I like, I might take you up on the offer sometime. Very cool. Many thanks.

    Were you hearing Bill Schoening?
    You know, its been so long I can't remember. But I don't think it was Bill S, he's a pretty relaxed announcer. I remember the guy being kind of cranky and sarcastic.

    Late contribution: It's hard to say. The ideal situation is to get a split in LA, worst case scenario. History tells us the winner of Game 1 goes on to win the series about 77% of the time, but what the Spurs do in Games 1 and 2 goes out the door if they don't hold serve in SA. LA is a dangerous team, and going into a Game 5 situation knotted up at 2-2 or 1-3 isn't exactly ideal. The Spurs will want to do everything in their power to close the whole thing out in Game 6, if not before.

    No. But I expect them to win. After the game against the Pelicans, game 1 of the playoffs can't get here fast enough!

    This year's squad does not handle pressure well. Case in point is our overtime record.
    We need every advantage we can grab. There's little room for error as a 6th seed.

    As far as I'm concerned every playoff game is a must game.

    By not having HCA, the Spurs have to avoid game 7's because those are the most difficult road games to win, regardless of who you're playing.

    I don't know if it's a must win but it would certainly send a message to the Clips and with their head.
    With all the internal problems that the Clippers have, if we take Game 1, the bottom might fall out of that team.

    Must win for the Clippers. If they lose game 1 I don't see them coming back.

    If we lose game 1 then game 2 is the must win.

    In terms of winning the first round, probably not. Losing game 1 would make game 2 a near must win however.

    But in terms of winning the championship I think it is. Spurs basically ed their chances (went from like 80% to 40% lock for WCF) with that loss to the Pelicans. If they're going to have any fuel in the tank to beat the Warriors, they need to escape rounds 1 & 2 in relatively short order (the Warriors will probably lose 1 game in the first two rounds and are younger). If we lose G1 it doesn't mean we won't beat the Clippers, but it does mean that in all likelihood the series is going to be a dogfight. We can't have that for two rounds and expect to have the juice to win 6 against the actual contenders of the league.

    Chill the out, they will have 2-3 days rests in between some games in teh 1st 2 rounds for sure. And only 2 guys are really old.

    7 game series is the same as a 5 game series and won't matter if the next round opponent swept their compe ion. Gotcha.

    Spurs are one of the few teams that could lose games 1 and 2 and still win the series. But I'd rather they play it safe and win the first four games.
