    Let's be honest, the playoffs are decided in December.

    No really, I'm being serious. Spurs won 4-1 in the 2nd round. They may be a threat of course but they haven't done anything yet to make Pops shake in his boots.

    Neither has OKC. I guess they suck too then?

    We gott take advantage. During our Raymond Felton season, Pop rested everyone and we beat them by 40. Let's do that tonight. Make them pay.

    Last year, the Spurs beat Portland without Duncan, Parker, Leonard and Ginobili. That was the game where Patty Mills went off.

    Who has ever made Pops shake in his boots? No one. Not OKC or 2-time defending champs Miami, who they also took out in 5 games. OKC took the series to 6 games, but the Spurs MOV was greater vs. them than us. Dallas took them to 7 games, but Game 7 of that series was when SAS flipped the switch and became almost unbeatable.

    We say it every year, - this is the year the Spurs start to show their age. It's not a matter of scaring them. That will never happen. It's a matter of when will they decline vs. when will we peak. Will that be this season? WAY too soon to tell. Pops starts resting his stars earlier and earlier every year, but they always seem to be healthy and peak at the right time. Eventually, time will catch up with them and we need to be ready when it does.

    When in doubt, assume you are wrong and Pop is right.
