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

With the Spurs bench I think they get them in 5. Midrange plus Tony will eventually get the better of them. Unless LA has 4 40 plus games.

 

I hope Spurs annihilate the Blazettes...I know I'll have to hear it from my friends who support the Spurs, but I hate the Blazers after having that series stolen from us...& no one can deny it was stolen.

Spurs 4-0 win every game by 20...


Also I hope they do win it in 4 so I can see the sad faces of the douchebag Blazette fans...yes I'm bitter & 'salty'.

 

The Spurs play defense. The Spurs have a bench. The Spurs have a coach. The Spurs star wing player won't play like a b****.

Spurs in 5 or 6.

 

Spurs have a great team and the best coach in the league

The Blazers won't have the refa this time. Spurs in 5

 

The floppers series

 

I actually think that the Portland Trailblazers can beat the Spurs. That is provided that LaMarcus Aldridge can be available throughout each game in this series. But for the most part, I feel that the Trailblazers are playing with confidence right now.

It's true that these teams split the season series 2-2. If you break it down, in the wins (first two meetings) that the Trailblazers had with the Spurs, LaMarcus Aldridge was available for both of those games. In the third meeting between these two teams, LaMarcus Aldridge was out with a groin injury, and in the last meeting, he suffered a back injury early in the second half.

The Spurs would definitely win a game in which LaMarcus Aldridge gets in foul trouble IMHO. I doubt it if Damian Lillard would be able to do enough to overcome any such scenario even though he has scored at least 20 points in each game against the Spurs in his seven games against them in his career. The 31 points he scored against them in the third meeting between these teams with Aldridge out with the injury wound up not being enough even though it was a 2-point loss (could have been a bigger margin if both Tony Parker and Tim Duncan played in this game).

 

If the Blazers somehow get the the finals, I think I might overdose on vicodin just because.

 

Please. Spurs in 5. The Blazers are in for a rude awakening. They're not going to get the open looks the Rockets gave them. The Spurs will not beat themselves. And Aldridge will have to deal with Splitter, Duncan, and Diaw all game long.

This could be a very educational series for Morey and the rest of the Rockets front office. Watch and learn how the Rockets could've and should've made mincemeat out of Portland if they knew what the hell they were doing.

 

Yes, thank you! Time for payback!

 

Spurs sweep.

 

What I hope happens is Spurs in 4. What I actually think happens is Spurs in 6

 

Going to be funny seeing a super pumped Portland roll into San Antonio to face a team who actually runs an offense - and who actually runs an offense when their bench is on the floor. And one which has a coaching staff who know what they're doing.

Short and sweet series for the Spurs. Got them in 5.

 

Haha, I can't help but wonder how many of us are being objective with this poll. Had it been a different team that the Blazers defeated, I imagine a lot more folks would at least expect the series to go 6 games.

 

Mchale , take notes. I think its going to be a great series but spurs play as a team and don't turn it over like us. if portland doesn't hit ridiculous shots , they're out in 6.

 

When Portland's season ends what they accomplished in the first round will mean nothing.... The games they were favored in will have gone to waist.... The season will be over and they will go back to being irrelevant again. Rooting for The Spurs.... Texas isn't out of the Playoffs yet...

 

Spurs gonna make Lillard and LMA look average

 

And coaching.

 

And the fact that God doesn't hate the Spurs.

 

The Rockets barely lost and it was because of stupid errors and bad coaching.

The Spurs are masters of smart basketball and good coaching.

Spurs in 4/5

 

san antonio seeep. 30+ point blow out every game please!!!
