Depending on who comes out of the west, the Knicks will have their hands full. I expect seven games. Book it.
. To me San Antonio is the more dangerous for them. How do you get that free flowing offence going against the speed of a defense that is like playing against 7 buzzing bees. If they do play a full up tempo game I would expect Spurs to be fresher at the end. I'd expect the knicks to rely less on athleticism and try to slow things a bit.

. It's game day, but will it be the last gameday for the Spurs this season? Pivotal game 5 shook my confidence they might win the series and rid us of the OKC Floppers and their unseemly and disgraceful flopping ways.

Thunder Floppers are 3.5 pt favs.
I hope Spurs come out with some fire .
8:30 on NBC.

I want OKC to win because I don't like some of the players on the Spurs, so I will root for them if I chance upon the game whilst surfing all my streams.

It's the gameday we all knew was coming when the WCCS started, muchachos and muchachettes.
. Spurs are 3.5 pt dogs. Personally if both teams bring their A game then I see them as the better team.
I think we will know if not by the end of the first quarter, then by mid 2nd if they have the juice or if the tank ain't full again after the game 6 beatdown they put on the Thunder.

What do you say, @Reggie_Essent . Spurs got the juice or will the tank go dry?
Up 7 after 1 Q.

It's a goodun - 56-53 Spurs at the half.
.OKC winning the offensive boards, Spurs winning the turnovers.

I want to see Vassell get going from deep though.
. He may be a key. Didn't shoot well in the first half.
Victor looks like he needs a cup-a-joe.
Come on, Victor - this is for all the marbles.

Spurs up 3 after 3. Just hanging on it feels like.

So you're already excusing your team losing, huh?

I get it. I felt that way when Indy beat my BEARS in the 2005 Superbowl. I couldn't really be too mad because I liked Peyton Manning getting his second ring.

Age and experience vs youth in this one.
. Who knows how Knicks will come out of the gate after the long rest, or if the Spurs will be tired.
I know I don't see the Knicks scoring 140 pts and winning by 50.
Can they handle the relentless Spurs defensive pressure?
I'm not making excuses for them. I like both teams, but I'm a Knicks fan first.
I think the Knicks have their chance this year and have been at the top of their game in the playoffs - which was a surprise.
So wouldn't it be great if the Knicks won this year and the Spurs won next year.
