It'll be a split. No idea which one they take but they'll close it out in Game 5.
Even though both games have been blowouts in favor of our guys, it's still not safe to say that the series is over. As we all know anything can happen, so what to do you think of games 3 and 4? Do the Spurs win both/1? Or do they come back to SA tied up?

I think it will be a split with the loss more likely to come in game 4. I think after 3 straight wins we may ease up a little on the defense, and Portland is good enough and will be desperate enough to pull out a win in the last game at their place. Then as Robz4000 said, we finish it in 5.
Hope I'm wrong and its a sweep though.
The Spurs will get blown out in game 3 and win a close game 4.
If the spurs lead at half time of game 3 this is a sweep. Damion Lillard is already making comments like a player ready to shut it down.
backdoor sweep imo

A split would be good.
They are not losing game 4 if they win game 3.
That said, it will be a sweep anyway.
We lose in 6 then?![]()
Lose both. One by a large margin, and one really close where the refs job the Spurs and (insert Blazers player) nails a big shot.
You really that pessimistic bro?
Spurs lose a tight Game 3, win Game 4 comfortably. Or pull a complete 180 and lose both. I'd be amazed if the Blazers get swept.
I'm getting greedy. With how unreal the Spurs offense has been, I want game 3. It would just put an unreal amount of pressure on a coach that is already not performing well and a team that seems to be shocked and highly emotional (they always tout how they are "underdogs" and get so emotional when anyone says anything that is not glowing about them).
Spurs just have to stay focus and execute on the key areas that we have all discussed (rebounding/to's). If they do that, I don't care where they are at, they should at least be in every game which is all you want.
If we win game 3, I have a strong feeling well sweep. If we lose Game 3, it'll be over in 5 tbh...
I honestly wouldn't be surprised if the Spurs lost both. I would be beyond shocked if they swept. I think coming back with a split is the most realistic scenario we Spurs fans can hope for.
This one feels like 2012 vs Utah. Their best players are star-struck and are having trouble adapting to playoff intensity (the Rockettes don't count). Spurs sweep.
We say things like this every time we go on the road up 2-0 on someone. We have swept twice in each of the last two seasons. A split is definitely the most realistic outcome, but would you really be shocked by a sweep considering how often it has happened of late?
I feel we'll lose Game 3 and win Game 4
That Utah team was full of scrubs. Their "best players" were The All might Al Jeff, Millsap and Manu Hayward
Yeah I wouldn't really call them "star struck."
I wouldn't call sweeping the Grizzlies and Lakers "often" especially considering we ended up getting backdoor swept ourselves by OKC just a year before that.
Win game 3, lose game 4, finish it back in SA in 5.
I agree with the majority here: a split by losing game 3, then winning game 4, and finishing it out in game 5.
