    Pop never gets out-coached and the Spurs never really lose. Every Spurs loss is intentional because Pop just doesn't want to show his hand or because he wanted a motivational tool for his team.

    Still no clue who is going to win this series.

    The spurs are undeniably the better "TEAM" with better coaching, passing and defense with two legit stars in Kawhi and Aldridge... But they are now down 3-2, because while OKC has its many faults, they also play hard, tough, big, fast, and most importantly has two top 5 talents in Durant and Westbrook.

    Don't know who will win, but I definitely see this going 7. Yes Spurs are going to win game 6 on the road.

    the Spurs have come back only once down 3-2 in a 7 game series. 2008 against New Orleans. Popovich is 2-10 when facing elimination on the road. They are in a tough spot alright..

    The Spurs are slight favorites in Game 6.

    Pop is willing to play Boban finally. Let's see if that would make a difference...

    Spurs look really old. Hope OKC takes them out as I don't see a way San Antonio can keep up with the warriors.

    Feels like OKC will blow the game wide open in the second half.

    You know this is looking dire for the Spurs when Roberson is making 3s.

    ^^^^ Well a 67 & 73 win team were going home at some point.

    OKC ain't playing around! Gotta close out the 2nd half now.

    too much energy spend to get to 67 wins and not enough energy conserved for postseason 2nd round

    they can still make a run though, heed the words only if they are way down in the 4th
