Predictions for tonight lads? I think OKC close it out.

I love the Spurs, both the organisation and Kawhi is my favourite individual player in the league but they're starting to show age in key areas how the game is played these days.

The way they've dealt with the atrocious calls is too classy for the NBA.

I think San Antonio strikes back & sends it to a Game 7.

Westbrook cools off a bit from his Game 5 performance and the Spurs start having more of their shots dropping (they just seemed unlucky at times in Game 5).  Kawhi comes up big.

Gregg Popovich is 2-10 when facing elimination on the road though. I think he's about to make that 2-11 tonight!

I picked the Thunder in 7 but if they lose tonight they will most likely lose the series. There's blood in the water and you have to close the series at out home in this situation. They can't throw a clunker out there and switch momentum again.

Good sign for the Spurs getting Duncan going early. Any production out of him right now is a positive.

Even if San Antonio does get through OKC, though, I see them getting ran out of the gym in Oakland.

San Antonio's bench has been absolutely putrid this series. It seems like every time they come in they give up the lead.

Oh good Lord, Ginobli. Trying to throw a pass through your legs and get it stolen? Pitiful.

What a wasted season it will be for San Antonio if they lose tonight. You can't have their season and then go out like this in the playoffs. It'd be understandable if it was Golden State, but they were demonstrably better than this in the season.

Yeah, David West in particular looks awful. Ginobili trying to play like he's 25 but moves like he's 45. Mills can't find his shot, Anderson looks scared of the moment, and Diaw has been inconsistent.

A team that's supposed to be known for its great bench had 11 total points last game, wow.

Boban has gotta be taller than his listed 7'3. He towers over Timmy

The thunder just get to every loose ball and get tons of possessions off their own missed shots. I think that's been key for them this series.
I could very well see the Hawks... starting Taurean Prince at the 3, who is already better than Crowder, imo.

i really want the spurs to win so we can see a GSW vs Spurs west final
both great offense and defense teams
but thunder have a really high chance to close this series

most people expected spurs winning this series early on so its suprising that thunder are all clicking together while the spurs are not

spurs fans are arguing no calls on final seconds of plays
but spurs are really just losing these games

last game in the 4th quarter they had several chances to tie or take the lead but they were playing hot potato out there and being hesitant to shoot

hopefully this goes to game 7
its been the most exciting series in the playoffs

That and San Antonio looks worse than us shooting. They haven't been able to hit the broad side of a barn for the last three games. They're even missing absolutely wide open shots.

This is crazy that this is happening to this 67-win Spurs team. Maybe that Spurs dynasty is finally coming to a close. They sure do look vulnerable without their big three making an impact.

Kawhi and Aldridge isn't enough to win a series.

And how about a little boost from the bench? Lol it's worse than our bench.

But at least it can't get worse, can it?

Wait, that's what I would say during the Hawks series. And somehow, it'd get worse.
