buh-buh-but we're better this time and they don't have Harden!

The Spurs could actually make this a series if they weren't so intimidated by OKC.

Even Leonard has turned into full beta mode.

Parker is the man to blame tbh..Everyone is being beta right now cause every ing time parker runs the offense it's either him or Duncan..It kills other people's confidence...

If spurs lose game 5 a lot of spur fans will be crying

[Hoops Czar]

Gee, I thought 2-2 was a series.

Crying?

I'm gonna start cutting.

Without Harden they are still the best in the west, but won't be able to beat Miami.

whatever,
feigning indifference is bull , I think everyone will be pretty upset by the apathy of this team

[Darius Bieber]

I don't think there will be a lot of crying. A lot of people have already, understandably, given up on this poor, pathetic team.

[EIC]

Gee, I thought 2-2 was a series.

"Series"? Does not compute for Laker fan.

Oh, no their not. Just ask Chinook and CD01.

[cd98]

Yeah but Westbrook and Durrant and Ibacka are way better. All of this is silly. Thunder have a great team. They are the two seed and tough to beat at home. A 2-2 series speaks to the evenness of these two teams. Spurs fans were the ones that started saying dumb things like sweep and Spurs in 5. Dallas took us to 7 games but somehow we should sweep Thunder?

Here's the thing, even 2 years ago and it was 2-2 Game 5 came down to the wire. However, Harden was the one who hit the big shot that game. Harden isnt there anymore. Guys like Westbrook and Ibaka won't have their home crowd to feed off of to pump them up either. Guys like Green, Leonard, Splitter, and Mills will play better, because they're at home. And I expect guys like Westbrook, Ibaka, Lamb, and Jackson to not play so well away from home..

[dg7md]

Too early. Do this if/when we lose game 5.

[slick'81]

Bbbb but spurs can beat team USA

[ElNono]

Premature. We weren't world beaters when we killed them by 20+, we're not the worst team in the world now that we lost a couple on the road.

Win next game, and this thread looks pretty silly. Lose next game, and then you can celebrate by proxy, tbh...

[Budkin]

Why do you hate us so much DD?

Can you post Manu's statline for me, tbh?

Can you also post Duncan's #'s since Big McGee came back?

[SpurSwag]

this thread could be appropriate if we lose the next game, but it's too early. As the saying goes, it isn't a playoff series until someone wins a road game. Until then, we are still in the drivers seat. Lets just pray for a good game 5

You're good people, BK, but your kin here deserve to be drowned in a mixture of and semen

[Strategic]

Raise your hand(or start a thread) if you thought the Spurs would sweep this series.

^ this, tbh

We don't have to win any road games to win the le. That's why it's called HOME COURT ADVANTAGE.

In 2012, I thought that OKC weren't ready yet - that's Spurs experience and chemistry would win out. They backdoor swept them - just a BAD matchup. Fast forward 2 years - Durant is league MVP and the young ones (even the coach) have gained a lot of experience and now they have even younger, fresher legs waiting in the wings. Meanwhile, Spurs core has just gotten OLDER. Sports are all about match ups - pity OKC can't play MIA first - still think SAS matches up well with MIA.

[Blizzardwizard]

We got this. The basketball gods wouldn't let the bad guys win, right?
