Do you seriously think Detroit has a snowballs chance in hell of winning two straight in San Antonio, despite not winning there the last 10 times they played there, and that SA only lost 3 games at home the entire season?


Everyone's insistence that SA has this in the bag seems halfway ridiculous. Yeah, it's two games in San Antonio, but if they can somehow steal Game 6 then they have the momentum and place the pressure on San Antonio going into Game 7. They've proven they can win crucial games on the road (Game 7 vs. Miami), so I don't think it's a complete lock for the Spurs. Plus with everyone saying they're certain to win, the Spurs may take this game for granted. History can show what happens when teams do that. I think Popp is better than to let that happen to his team, but we'll have to see for sure.
