To be honest, what's your confidence level for Game 6

[clambake]

Since it wasn't happening until after Pop started ing with the rotation, I'm unsure how you could see it. Brooks inserted Sefolosha and Pop lost his marbles and started to scramble. It's the same thing that happened when AJ made Harris the starter instead of Griffin. Pop countered by using the rotation that he ran against Sacramento.

ok

[LongtimeSpursFan]

50 percent. Either Spurs win or they dont. Take away all your emotion and think rationally. Momentum doesnt carry from one game to another. Each game is uniquely different. That is why you do the things you can control and hope for the best. For most of the season the Spurs have been a very good basketball team. A team that many experts have called 'one of the best basketball teams' ever. They shoot the ball well, pass well and can defend. I thought they finally got that back in fourth quarters of game 4 and 5. Lets get our turnovers back to normal and play Spurs basketball.

[Borosai]

To be honest, this looks like the same Spurs team that we've seen dismissed from the playoffs for the past three years, each time getting more embarrassing.

If history means anything, I'd have to say the Spurs will get blown out in game 6. But I hope they man the up and play some good basketball again.

[ElNono]

What does the binomial distribution says?

[timvp]

I think I'm also factoring in last year's elimination. That was a weak ass effort on the road against a team that was like 1/10th as good as the Thunder. The Big 3 went out with such a whimper in that game that I can't imagine the Spurs playing 500 times better in order to win Wednesday night. Even Manu, the ultimate compe or on the basketball court, last year seemed out of it.

The Spurs have never really be a great back to the wall team ... even when they were great, tbh.

Maybe, Bonner will help us man up huh?

That also ended bad

i like the effort!

[loveforthegame]

My confidence is so low right now I'm tempted to not even watch the game. Maybe I'll feel better tomorrow or Wednesday morning but not now.

Outside of Leonard, Jackson, and maybe Ginobili, it's hard to believe in this team.

They do lack creativity IMO... and then heart has no chance overpowering it

in the first 6 minutes of the game i will know....

+1

15%

Just admit Pop has gone full re people.
That 2nd quarter lineup

[etbluffer]

I'll give a 51% chance. Spurs have only played one great game in this series and I believe they are due. Harden said he suc bed to pressure in Game 1, imagine Game 6 at home with a chance to go to the Finals. Spurs will get and keep a lead!

[Keepin' it real]

The Spurs facing elimination is usually not a pretty sight. Honestly, I think I'll just watch porn instead.

[baseline bum]

I honestly think the most likely outcome is a 20 point loss, and like timvp said, an extended celebration for OKC's first trip to the Finals.

[timvp]

So you're saying they lack heart

Nah, some teams do better when their backs are against the wall. Like those Pistons teams and maybe even the current Celtics. But I never have had that sort of confidence with the Spurs. Hasn't made them any less great over the years, though.

2005 NBA finals

Game 1 and Game 2 were far and away the best they played. They more survived the end of that series than thrived, tbh.

Wall not Wallace


Spurs in 2003 also blew 2-0

Perhaps, but one thing is certain: these losses are his fault, as usual.

I can only recall them winning once on the road in the Duncan era when their backs were truly against the wall (elimination game). That Hornets team in 2008 wasn't nearly as good as this OKC team...

[z0sa]

Pretty low tbh. But I'm far from hopeless.

And the fluke-ish aspect of that game is it was Parker hitting all the big shots while Ginobili and Duncan choked. Who would have thought the Spurs could win a Game 7 on the road when prime-ish Ginobili and Duncan combined to miss their final 13 shots or whatever it was.

[Mugen]

Didn't the Spurs have a lead in the 4th of Game 6 against Memphis?

I remember Dice hitting a jumper, MEM calling a timeout and the Spurs never recovered.
