    Clippers will handle them especially wasting all the extra energy all the OT games. Clips have a better coach and are more diverse.

    Yeah pretty much my thinking. Clippers also don't have a shocking coach.

    got to give their defense credit for even being up 17-20 points but i also give them credit for still being able to pull out those games. Having to win a game twice actually shows great mental toughness. It would be so easy to fail once you have that type of late momentum shift but they've been able to put the collapse behind them and go on and win.

    Honestly, their choking is getting annoying. I kno they still win somehow, but man are they frustrating. Memphis could blow a 40 point lead and I would almost expect it

    I'm sorry man but you don't label a team who gives away a 20 pt lead as "mentally tough" whether or not they win it. Did you see how many bunnies they missed? It was like Game 7 Duncan for the whole game

    what i meant was what if the Spurs are the one sent home prior to the WCF. Dallas is giving them a heck of a series at the moment.

    reminds me of the Celtics in that they blew a lot of leads but ultimately won more so than choked because of Defense. Memphis defense is good enough to carry them.

    Nah Spurs will win the series 4-2 against Mavericks, and then go on to sweep the Trailblazers 4-0.

    Spurs fan here but even I don't think the Spurs go undefeated against the Blazers. Especially the way they have been playing against Dallas. Have you seen the Blazers? They are looking scary and the Spurs always struggle with them. I think it would go to six games at least to finish them off.

    I can see Blazers vs. Spurs going either way. Lillard and Aldridge play good against them, and the Blazers have given the Spurs as much trouble as anyone the last few years. They are a good match up.

    I wouldn't count out the Rockets in that series yet. It has been closer than 3-1, Blazers looks like they have a solid chance of closing it out doe even if they lose game 5.

    Maybe not mentally tough in an ideal way but it is impressive that they can keep composure enough to ultimately win. I think you guys are underrating how hard it is to win despite the opposing team having that great of an momentum shift that late in a game.
