    It should've been us...

    Cheering for the Spurs. Hope they crush the Blazers.

    do you guys actually think the spurs will sweep, or do you just want them to because of the rockets ?

    I honestly tink the SPurs will make quick work of them


    The Rockets led in double digits in every game and led for the majority of the series.

    Where we fail is where the SPurs EXCEL - late game execution.


    Spurs in 5 or 6

    I think people are still salty about the Blazers winning. I don't think it's as easy as people are saying, but SA still pulls it out in 7.

    The reversion to the mean is going to be vicious for Portland.

    Portland impressed me; I expect them to give the Spurs a serious run. Probably a toss up. I would not be surprised if they won, but I don't really care who wins.

    Will LMA score on the Spurs like he did to the Rockets? Will Lillard live up to his 1st round performance? Etc etc...

    Too many questions.

    The Spurs have size and depth and execute far better than the Rockets. It's a whole different game...

    Spurs in 5.

    Their benches are the big difference. Spurs win with such a strong performance by Gino. Blazers planned well against Rockets's weaknesses. However, it will be nearly impossible to figure out Spurs' weaknesses and keep attacking it successfully. Popovich and even the veterans know this too much: adjustment and execution are the keys to win in playoff games.

    Spurs in 5.
