Do the Spurs split/take both/ lose both?

[Kidd K]

I'm gonna say split. Refs won't allow us to take game 3.

Then again, Stern's gone now. . .maybe it'll be legit from now on?

[The_Worlds_finest]

I got my broom out tbh

[Venti Quattro]

Spurs lose Game 3, show up to win Game 4 and then turn the lights off on Portland in Game 5.

[Arcadian]

Spurs take game 3. I'm confident about that. Not sure if they'll win game 4, though, because Portland will fight their asses off to not get swept...but spurs still might win, lol. Spurs in 4 or 5

[Uriel]

We've completed 8 series in the last three seasons and swept 4 of them. This is the sixth time we've gone up 2-0 in those years and we've only failed to sweep once in those situations. What does often mean to you?

I'm not predicting a sweep, but if we do it will hardly be shocking.

It's amazing how overconfident Spurs fans have become after predicting gloom and doom just a week before.

[LoneStarState'sPride]

Split. My gut says POR comes out desperate and wins game three, shooting their emotional wad. Spurs win game 4, and close 'em out in SAtown.

If POR s up and loses game 3, it's broom time.

[BillMc]

Only teams left in the playoffs who can beat Spurs are the Thunder and Heat because their length and athleticism on the DEFENSIVE side of the ball bothers us.

This. Pacers and Clips could take us to 6, Nets and Wizards to 5. But OKC and Miami only teams that could actually win (though I'd pick the Spurs, of course).

Spurs lose Game 3, show up to win Game 4 and then turn the lights off on Portland in Game 5.

Is this the first time you predicted the Spurs winning a series?

[Prime Time]

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.

It's more comparable to the 2012 vs. Clippers series if anything.

CP3 = Lillard
Griffin = Aldridge
Jordan = Lopez
Mo Williams = Mo Williams
Kenyon Martin = Thomas Robinson

Mix of Butler, Foye, Evans, and Young = Batum and Mathews.

[JR3]

I would be shocked if we didn't get at least one out of two there. Best road team in the league. This team will be ultra focused and have one of their best games yet in Portland.

[Russ]

The Spurs have one eye on OKC, intent on keeping up. Therefore, they win tonight.

[moisaenz]

As long as lillard does not take over the way ellis did, Spurs might win both or split ....

[xmas1997]

Win one and lose one in Portland.

[lmbebo]

I expect a Gm 3 loss, Gm 4 win

[Capster]

[wildchild]

Game 3 will be one of those home games where they go out and play with at ude and killer instinct, but the Spurs just need maintain focus on defense, use the experience of star veterans players, coaching and leverage tactic.
The Spurs'll be fine nexts road games. Keep the intensity defensive, ball movement and play smart.

[urunobili]

lose 3rd, win 4th

[Capster]

The Spurs will get blown out in game 3 and win a close game 4.

Wanna bet 21209??????? Put your $$ where your mouth is. You are on!

[Capster]

We lose in 6 then?

NOOOOOO!!!! What kind of a dumb ass comment is that????

[Sixth Street]

It's amazing how overconfident Spurs fans have become after predicting gloom and doom just a week before.

[AFBlue]

Happy to be wrong tbqh.

[Whisky Dog]

Can't remember the last time I saw a game 3 complete dismantling of a home team like that, especially one where the road team would go up 3-0 with the win. That was ruthless and efficient.

[100%duncan]

I guess this is going to be a sweep tbh.

[TampaDude]

Game 3 against the (mummified s of the) Lakers last year?

Yeah, I know that doesn't really count, but still...

[DPG21920]

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.

Get greedy.
