One of my FB friends is down in SA, and she said that they were honking and driving around celebrating the win for FOUR HOURS after the game.
You maybe right bro. Not saying that this will be easy. I'm saying if we do win, it's in 5. If this goes 7, we are toast. And you will not have a chance to close us out in 6. It's either you win 4-1 or in 7. That's it. Portland has games 5-6. I think it won't get to 6 if we are destined to win this thing.
Really? NBA.com has Lillard at 7.6 drives per game vs 6.0 for Curry. (Regular season) Difference was Lillard shot ~40% on his drives while Curry shot ~52%
Yes, that would be the floater that was mentioned. Plus, thanks for showing that Lillard drives more than Curry. Also, Lillard was terrible for the first half of the season on drives to the rim. In the playoffs, Lillard has shot 48 FTs in 6 games. Curry shot 42 FTs in 7 games. You just proved the point.
This series won't be won by Portland in 5. Portland either wins in 6 or by some miracle sweeps. They won't be able to close out a vet savvy team like the Spurs on the road. I CAN see the Spurs doing it in Portland tho due to the fact they've been there and done that; HCA is a luxury, not a must.
San Antonio loves the Spurs as much as Portland loves the Blazers. Both cities are pretty similar in that regard; fan support has never been an issue.
Huh? Blazers won 1 out of 2 to protect home court against Houston. That's why the Blazers won the series. They protected the home court advantage after Houston gave it away.
If LA plays with the spirit and edge he played with earlier in the Houston series. Portland has a terrific chance in winning. They need that from him.
Fuck that, bring it back home up 2-0 again! Seriously though that rockets team was way better than we made them look. A split is highly possible, and if we play our best ball we can get a 2-0 again.
I wouldn't mind having an extra wing defender available just in case. They are not playing CJ so why not suit Claver up. What are the rules? Can they change every series? And if we did win the SA series, and Claver got some action........He could help a little against Durant too. (In small doses)
Btw, http://www.spurstalk.com/forums/forumdisplay.php?f=2 for those of you who wanna chat up some other Spurs fans. Just be wary of venturing downstairs into the NBA Forum, I'm not responsible for anything that may happen to you...
I don't think Portland can win in 6. i think they will have to win game 6....to get to game 7. And if that happens..... sure SA would be heavily favored. But all it would take is for Portland to keep it close into the 4th and have one guy go off from beyond the arc. (Wes, Nic, or that young player with the O on his back)
Mavfan said the same thing the other day (even I believed it), then G7 happened today and the Spurs went apeshit.
if we're going to chat hoops, why not base things on what is rather then what we hope? While every fans has dreams, I knew what you were relaying wasn't remotely close to true. I'm sure Tiago will take a few turns at guarding LA, my guess is theres good reason why Pop hasn't given him the lead role you claim he's up for. Its going to be fun STOMP
Mags got called out on the Spurs forum They should just know Mags is a huge homer and always predicts the Blazers will win. Don't abuse him too much. Leave that to me.
It took a three with .9 seconds left to win on our own floor. In my opinion, that's not very good at winning at home.
