Western Conference Semifinals: (1) San Antonio vs. (5) Portland

The heck, I just realized I voted Spurs in 6. I wanted Spurs in 5. Oh well, either way... I'm gonna be wrong.

Unless the Blazers shoot a ton of 3's and make most of them, I don't see how they can win game 4.

 

Portland's only had the lead for 33 seconds in the series? lmao

 

^^^ I could be wrong about Carlisle though, as I admittedly don't watch a ton of Mavs games...

 

Didn't SVG use to scream at his players all the time? Then again, he screamed too much and his players tuned him out.

 

This Spurs ball movement is ****ing incredible. Why can't we play like that????

 

Naw those lucky shots only happen with us .

 

Yeah exactly, Dwight used to frequently mock his screaming lol...

 

let's be honest if harden actually showed up in the first two games we would've won but oh well past is the past

 

We dont really need a coach, we can just watch the games of Spurs, how they move the ball..

I am now jealous like a b****

 

Morey overestimated Portland and under-estimated how bad McHale was.

 

The Spurs Machine rolls on.

 

^^^^^

 

looooooooooooooooool did morey's analytics have him come to the conclusion the blazers would give the spurs trouble?

 

This is beautiful. Everyone on the Spurs knows their role, no hesitation, no stupid hero ball. I would trade harden for pop if I could.

 

I doubt analytics would project Lillard to shoot 7% on threes, and Aldridge to starting bricking even wide open jumpers.

 

Lillard is playing like haren out there

 

The only trouble POR is giving SA is making SA play through 4 games.

 

Bev
Parsons
Jones
McHale
Dwight

Coach Pop?

I smell dynasty.

 

and there are posters in the mchale thread saying coaching isn't important and blame the players lol....

 

OK, I'll give you that. He'll just bench guys at any point in time if they aren't putting out. I remember one time last year (or the year before) he benched Dirk and other starters about 3 mins into a game.

Carlisle doesn't yell much at his players but he fully imposes his will on them like Pop does.

It was weird watching Pop extend his hand to Carlisle after the Mavs beat the Spurs in game 6. Can't remember seeing anything like that.
