duncan, parker, ginobili all going on cruising mode throughout most of the season and they still are one of the top team in the nba

spurs is a different team in playoff
pop doesn't play his stars 40 mpg just to get a win in regular season but he will in playoff
pace will slow down in playoff
there will be lot of half court game
we suck at half court game
don't even think we can beat blazers easily
it's going to be tough too
i can see the series going 7 games

Blazers in 5, Spurs in 6, close out game in Houston

We'll step up our D in the PO as well, Harden is a SA killer, as he has proven on many occasions.

Not even worried.

Am I the only person in Houston this confident? Or people don;t realize what kinda team we have...

[GreenRiddler]

Flopbili with dramatized contact.
Lin should adopt that craft from him.

Not only no but hell no. I Hate it when Harden flops and when anybody else does it

We all know the recent league got soft.
mind as well, use it as our advantage.

That's how soccer got ruined...

Well I'm not very confident in this matchup. The Spurs are very well rested whereas our guys are totally run down. We will have a much tougher first round. Their main guys are more battle tested than ours. Their bench is much better than ours. Their coach is better at Xs and Os. Their D is better. We do have a chance tho, we have athleticism, offensive rebound, Linsanity, Duncan being old, star power and hopefully luck.

[Screwston]

N they havent beatin us yet this year. Yea RS doesnt mean much in the PO, but at least it some what shows that we're bad matchup for them. I very much think if we could beat any top 3 team in the West, Spurs are definitely 1.

@max
We had top 10 defense before Dwight n Beverley got hurt.

[BaYBaller]

Haha holy **** guys you jinxing it talking about the SAS already when we got POR right in front of us...

[zapatasblood]

Yeah Portland is no walk in the park have no one to stop LMA and Lillard is going to be hard to keep down.

And neither are the Grizz for the spurs

Yea n Portland plays great defense..
Beverley shuts Lillard completely down, so you got Aldridge to worry about, keep him outta paint n let him shoot long jumpers all night long, even if he gets hot, he's the only guy you pretty much have to worry about. They have no answer for Harden n Dwight, none. Both will average crazy numbers vs them. No way Portland beats us more than 2 games, zero chance of that happening.

Starting to shape up the way I predicted at the start of the season. We have an honestly good chance of making the WC finals. And I have friends who are Spurs fans, so it will make things real interesting.

[texasholdem]

Key matchup of the series I think is Nic Batum vs Chandler Parsons.

[inquisitive]

Rox defense isn't good, but neither is Porty's defense. As far as Spurs, they have a very good bench. We seem to match them well, but realistically, Rox won't beat them in 7 game series. In any event, i still see Rox pushing the pace in the playoffs. Other teams will slow it down, but the Rox will continue to push it even after made baskets.
