What a bunch of Debbie Downers!!!! These are the Spurs we are talkin about here!!!! They can pull it out and WIN!!!!
Timvp -- You said it yourself a few days ago: Championships are never easy.
There hasn't been a championship yet where there wasn't some sort of major adversity where all seemed lost, that had to be overcome.
And I've seen way too many fluky things happen in Game 6s of all sports series over the last several decades to ever believe a Game 6 is over before it's even begun.
Weird stuff happens in Game 6s especially when teams think the game is over before it's won. Closeout games are the toughest games to win.
I like the media throwing dirt on us, and I love seeing every fan throwing dirt on us and saying this is over and we're dead. Everyone knows the Thunder are a rock-solid group emotionally, and they never let their emotions get the best of them. I hope they keep drinking that Kool-aid and believe that this series is over.
Believe.

I just can picture it, tbh. I see Game 6 going down as an extended celebration for the Thunder's first trip to the Finals.
Maybe I'm just remembering how impossible it was for the Spurs to win Game 6 in 2004 but with the amount of momentum the Thunder have, as well as their studs are playing, as well as their role players are shooting and the fact that they'll have one of the loudest fans in NBA history behind them ........ I just can't imagine the Spurs winning.
I obviously hope I'm wrong but I just can't see it.
What we are seeing is the Spurs are being overwhelmed by the youth and athleticism of this young Thunder team. OKC is forcing its will upon the Spurs by disrupting their offensive execution through their swarming defense. The young Thunder are getting pretty much whatever they want on the offensive end - whenever they want it.
On the other side, the Spurs are contributing mightly to their demise with their continued sloppy ball-handling, careless passes and ill-advise shots. Their supreme ball movement that defined their season has devolved into 2-3 guys only getting their touches.
OKC has literally morphed into a championship-level juggernaut on both ends of the court right before our very eyes. This is not the same team that started out the in the first 2 games of this series. They're brimming with confidence and they're going to be hard to stop.
It will take a herculian effort, precise execution and their absolute best effort for the Spurs to come away with a victory. The task will indeed be a daunting one. All that said, my confidence level for Game 6 is low. I give them less than 5% chance. However, I will not count them out until it's over.
0.5 %
Turning Point in this series was Game 2 when Spurs were beating them soundly and in the last quarter OKC came back w/a flurry and haven't looked back since.
0.1 %
Spurs in 5probably. But I've never seen a Lakerfan nuttride a team that beat them this hard before.
No offense but I don't think luva, kool, or cully bandwagon'd this bad just cuz they hated the Spurs.
Not very high. I expect the spurs to plAy them close until the end of the 3rd and then some role player of theirs will hit a few shots in a row, which will ignite the rest of the team, and eventually lead to sepAration.
I'm just amazed at the role reversal this series took after game 2. Once brooks realized that length really bothers tony, and that he had the athletes to do the switches successfully, he negated tony and therefor the pnr attack. That meanT no more splitter, no more open looks for green and bonbon, and a reliance on td in the paint. I give serge ibaka a lot of credit for showing he can stay in front of his man when they go to the switch. Thabo was on, but manu owned him tonight, the difference maker in this series was serge.
Daequan Cook hit those shots and I thought "Jaren Jackson". One team believes, one doesn't.
too many gnsf in this thread.
where are the regulators?
My confidence just splashed down the toilet
It looks like 2004
No matter what the spurs do LA is winning the
Spurs need to shorten the rotation and be relentless.
Confidence is about 75% that Pop can pull his head out of his ass and coach a W in game 6. But there's always a chance that he effs up royally, like he did tonight.
i thought the spurs played desperately and out of control. not on pop.
This.
Sad but it's almost true.I don't see the Spurs winning on Game 6.
Pretty sure you thought the Spurs in 6 thoSpurs in 5
IMHO we've got a 25% chance, 3-1 against, which is long odds in a 2-horse race.
OKC are clearly the better team right now, but we were in games 4 and 5. What's really scaring me is how our bench has morphed from world-beating to house. The starters aren't losing these games, the bench is - every time we put them in OKC goes on a run our starters then have to dig us out of.
.01% Chance of winning game 6.
The Spurs team is definitely not a team to win from behind.
Except in 2008 vs NO Hornets. But we had game 6 on home court that series.
So I guess there is a 7% chance of winning in a loud, crazy OKC arena
I agree that's how they played, but it's a byproduct of the rotations. Pop goes small, Pop inserts guy who hasn't played in 2 months, Pop benches starter, Pop plays fourth big first off the bench, Pop plays fourth big first off the bench alongside guy who hasn't played in 2 months.
10%
well...its either seeing the thunder fans celebrating and cheering as the thunder make their trip or when the clock hits 0.00 and the fans are left in shock and we hear boo's as the spurs walk to the lockeroom knowing they have one game left.
Stupid s.
We're winning this whole en thing! Championship number 5 on the way and it will be the oh so sweetest en thing ever
Confidence level sky high, we've got this !!
I give them about a 5% chance. You just can't underestimate the confidence this gives OKC for the first half of Game 6. No pressure whatsoever for them. AsSpursDynasty would say, they will just go out there and shoot some shots.
If, and for me this is a gigantic 95% unlike if, the Spurs can head into halftime with a small lead, then from there on I think the game is a much tighter proposition.
I can't see it happening though.
I said Spurs in 7...I still have a chance to be right (albeit slim)Pretty sure you thought the Spurs in 6 tho
