anyone else not counting the Spurs out of round 1 yet?

Me, i think Memphis will not let this slip.....but even if the Spurs do win there in 0% chance they beat the thunder

Agree with that, I just wouldn't be shocked to see them pull themselves together to get out of round 1.

NOT DEAD YET!
Yup

After seeing what Nene has done to Perk / Ibaka in the Denver series, I wouldn't be surprised if the Spurs were able to handle the Thunder a bit better than expected (Timmy owns Perk).  They'd need to find somebody other than Jefferson to cover Durant, though.  Manu would have to cover Westbrook.

But seriously, in all likelihood the Spurs just managed a stay of execution tonight.

Worst thing to happen now would be for Kobe to take a few days off to get his ankle right.

Those Game 5 dunks say his ankle was right all along.

Teams that are 3-1 in a series have an 8-186 record. San Antonio is just about cooked.

Giving a little more weight to that stat, the Spurs sure looked cooked in Game 4.  Besides some Manu highlights I didn't see anything that said to me the Spurs were the better team.

I'm guessing it won't be so great in the next game.  He probably felt awwwwful today.

I'm curious what the record is of teams that get down 3-1 but win Game 5.  Even more curious what the record is for teams that also win Game 6 and play Game 7 on their home court.

The Grizzlies on that plane back to Memphis right now must be second guessing themselves like crazy.

It's like Jason Voorhees is on a plane 2 feet behind them.

I don't think so.  The Spurs needed a miracle shot to save their season.  Memphis got this.

I hope we don't have HCA throughout the West to be honest. That would mean that the Spurs beat the Thunder.
