    My Gut Says OKC Will Blow It

    They lose Game 6 and will be all but dead going back to SA for Game 7.

    Everybody is going to pound Spurs in game 6. NO WAY they lose 3 in a row right? Before that it was NO WAY they lose 2 in a row. Before that it was NO WAY Spurs losing at home. Point is, OKC is a lot better than people thought. Not to mention OKC Defense is doing a great job. Spurs are an excellent team, no doubt but OKC is on a mission. Pop doesn't know what to do. OKC is going for the jugular Thursday night. But what I've always said is go with your gut! BOL jtoler.

    Wrong conclusion. It's the Spurs whom are deviating from expectations.

    Teams that have won game 5 after being tied 2-2 in the playoffs have gone on to win the series 82% of the time.

    Also Spurs have only beat Thunder 3 times out of the last 12 games they have played in OKC...

    Thunder are young and fully healthy and do much better at recovering from matches with 1 day break in between. The only time Spurs have beat the Thunder in this series have been off multiple days break in between as witnessed from game 1 and game 3 (4 days break).

    You are entitled to your gut feeling but would you care to explain further why you think the Spurs will prevail?

    yeah i would just wait till 7 and skip game 6.. cause OKC can end it in 6 or spurs can force a 7. Spurs really do look washed up

    Experience has something to do with it, but Spurs have been in more control in this series. Hats off to OKC for pulling through late in games but Spurs should have won every single game, the series should be over. Tables have turned and more pressure on SA now, they have an uphill battle, its just a gut feeling, doesnt mean 100% they get it done but I think they pull through in Game 6 and Game 7 they roll.

    I agree, but how much of that is because of the way Thunder are playing ball. Give them credit. This is where the youth factor kicks in. Not to mention Westbrook and Durant factor.

    Kawhi had 26,4, and 6, on 57% shooting, no containment there, the problem is he's been too much of the offense when it should be more balanced, he's doing or having to do too much and still have to guard the best on defense, something has to give. They didnt limit Aldridge either, he just missed bunnies, shots he'd normally make, he shot 6-21 missing open shots, still dropped 20 though.

    The Spurs problem isn't so much scoring, it's rebounding. K.Leonard may be their best overall rebounder - you see him rip the ball off Ibaka in game 5?! - they lose that when he's on the perimeter guarding Westbrook/ Durant.

    No I won't! ...I refuse to give them credit. They're a flawed team many times over. I'm not going to forget that just because they're up 3-2 on a Spurs team that is disappointing.

    Only 3 of their players I like: Durant/ Westbrook/ Adams.

    Spurs have two max players in Leonard and Alridge, but neither one is a leader. Both dudes are shy and quiet. I think the Spurs are screwed if these two guys are supposed to carry the team in to the future.

    Should've followed my advice, it's always better to go off stats and past history when wagering then getting caught up in the emotion of everything.
