Looks like a bye now for the San Antonio Spurs and better luck next playoffs. But who knows if they can still extend the series even in front of the big Golden State Warriors. Looks like the disappearance of Gregg Popovich making them play hard and want to prove that they can still win even without the presense of their coach . This Game 5, their first assistant coach will again act as their head coach.

I must say that it is indeed a great game for the Spurs as they literally bounced back for a win. But, Given the situation warriors might be in a little pressure as the momentum is shifted to Spurs. As I see, Everyone steps up in that game especially Manu, The spurs are truly making things work out up until coach pop returns but nonetheless they are facing Warriors (Home court) which is an additional factor for the GS to seal the series. Steve Kerr will surely adjust this time.

If the Spurs will beat the warriors in game 5, then I would say that we might see a good series, but I would not expect
now because the warriors are really playing well at home and they will do everything to finish the series so they can rest and welcome curry back
in the 2nd round.

Respect to the Spurs, but with Leonards absence its very difficult to beat the Warriors. I dont have an injury update with Steph, but if the Warriors will let the Spurs win in game 5, then it would be possible that they're just prolonging the series for Steph to come back in a good shape in the 2nd round.

Indeed. They really needed to beat the San Antonio Spurs so that they will get a rest instead of having a extended series that might affect some key players. This is the first round, and it should be expected that they will win against Spurs. I don't know if they are pressure though, they just had a bad game and Spurs doesn't want a to sweep in the series. Of course Manu had always at least one big game in a playoff series and definitely he step up for the Spurs to take a win and live another day. Maybe its the last time we are going to see him play. Sad

I hope not but it's obvious that the spurs are for now, past their dominant selves as in the timmy era. And add the absence of kawhi, not much has been expected from this team. But game 4 showed you why the haven't missed a post season for the longest time. Its about heart. And there's no better example of the spurs' fighting heart than old man manu

Though I'm very vocal being a fan of Spurs, but this game will be dominated by Warriors as they have all the spice needed for this series, the win
might be a escape being swept but the pressure for competing from this series is no longer been felt, unlike last season where Kawhai was playing
Spurs really been playing well the rotations are working good, game 5 as dictated will be played in front of the very supportive crowd of Warriors,

Washington Wizards and Toronto Raptors Game 4 series is so intense and thrilling. I thought Raptors will now take advantage and go on for a 3-1 lead after lots of large margin lead till 4th but Wizards able to gained momentum even Bradley Beal was fouled out.

Minnesota Timberwolves will head back to Houston Rockets for them game later on. Let's see if that "Lack of rhythm last Game 4" according to D'Antoni of Rockets will now be erased or Twolves can steal a win.

Thought the Wizards would be done and out of the picture by now and this is why I didn't bother to follow anymore Raptors game. Because I thought they had locked it up and won their series by now from the way they were playing the first two games with blowing them out of the water in both games.
I guess never underestimate Beal and Wall as the playmakers for the Wizards.
Timerberwolves I know are done. Watching their last game Towns was crap and that is really their only good player during the regular season before Butler came on near the end. But they are containing him very well. And Harden is killing anyone who is trying to cover him as he always manages to do.
Golden State Warriors can cope without Steph Curry as they have shown in his absence and they will close out their series with the Spurs eventually.
Just a matter of time even if they won one for the poor mourning coach in a Rocky sort of way. But their number is up.

What a bombshell! Stephen Curry not coming back anytime soon, says Steve Kerr, head coach of the Golden State Warriors. The Warriors are already down in the fourth quarter of the game to the San Antonio Spurs. I don't even like them to bounce back with a win though, give the Spurs and Gregg a break, there are currently rough times in San Antonio. I'm really looking forward to the Toronto Raptors and Washington Wizards game though! Its going to be straight up fuego in Washington if they want to continue in the playoffs.

And the Warriors lost the game, so sad about the news of Popovich wife but the Spurs teams gave him a pretty nice win. Even though the Spurs managed to not get beat 4-0 in the series. But I dont think they will win another game in this series as KD is too much of a problem for them. Spurs were hot from 3 but I dont see this happening twice especially in Golden State.

Yes, they avoided a swept but I don't think that they have a chance against Golden State though. They have a lot of turn-overs beginning the first half of the game, and it cost them this game in my opinion. And fun to see Manu again making key plays and the end to secure their first victory.

And its quite surprising that San Antonio shot better 3's against Golden State in this game, which gave them enough room to win. Now Game 5 will be played on Warriors homecourt so I wouldn't be surprise if they closed out this game for good in their home.

They had really able to push though game 5 which the next game would be held on Warriors homecourt which is somehow a good thing for warriors itself due to its very supportive fans which can really give boost up confidence and eagerness to win but well the ball is round and we might able to see opposite outcome even though im anticipating warriors will win this one.

I must say after tonight game of Indiana against Cleveland that this series is over , it was a must win for the Cavs off course but it was a very important win for the pacers too , now that they give back home court advantage for LeBron James I can not imagine the Cavs losing more games . Tonight Kevin love did not play his usual game but kayl corver did show up , Clarkson , J.R Smith also so the supporting cast did give that needed help for LeBron to win this game . This series is over Cavs will end it in next 2 games .

Even if the Cavs won that game tonight i think the Pacers still has the good chance of winning the series. The Cavs just don't the chemistry needed to close out games specially here in the playoffs. Lebron James can't do it all, he need all the help he can get from all his team mates.

That has been proven before that Lebron can't be the all man team and he needs that chemistry from his teammates. And after getting that chemistry through defense and offense I'm sure that there will be a lot of pretty opening for him. This has been expected that every match of Cavs now will bring more attention to Lebron while others are just like assistants to him. Before I was telling myself that I'm not going to feel Lebron this playoffs but it seems that he deserves everything base on his performances.

That is what Lebron is telling with the after game interview.
They really need that chemistry when it comes to defense also.
Their plays have been all eyes on Lebron and it cannot be that way as always. There will be holes in their plays with doing it over and over again.
They won game 4 because of Korver. Somehow it made Indiana's defense a little weak then Lebron can make points again when they are concentrating with Korver.

2 straight win from the Cavs in this upcoming games. I'll be betting more in the next 2 games, since the Pacers gave a tough good fight against the defending easter conference champions.

I don't think Pacers will just let it slide without showing any resistance. I don't think that this last games will be easy to Cavaliers even if they are in the Home court advantage.

Well, I love how Pacers play this game so I think I will still bet for them to win another game and then just watch how will the end goes. I am still a Pacer fan even if they lose the Playoffs,

To be honest, I am little disappointed by the Trail Blazers. I predict them pretty easy series, or at least couple wins against Pelicans and yet they will most likely be sweeped tonight.

Even though the Pelicans have a higher spot in the seedings they are actually a better team compared to Portland Trailblazers even if Cousins is injured. Anthony Davis is a superstar, Jrue Holiday is a above average PG, Emeka Okafor has been a good signing. Damian Lillard cannot really actually carry a playoff team on his own. Ever since Lamarcus Aldridge chose the Spurs Portland was never the same.

I think the injury of Cousins was a blessing in disguise for this team, now that davis have more time penetrating the paint the more
he is productive. Maybe they will evaluate this current situation and they can get better players in exchange of Cousins if possible. But speaking of playoffs now the Pelicans, I believe the next round we will find a more entertaining game.

I must agree AD's playing style this POs was a top notch especially that he's taking advantage of DC's absence. His game continuously improving, though even when DC is still playing AD is doing the same as today, a much more improve one. NOP's acquisition of DC is literally a good addition to there line-up as they needed a help on the inside, especially when Anthony Davis has been checked by the other teams. Though, given the situation, I must agree that they could get a better player knowing that AD can get the job done.

Yeah, I really thought that Portland can overcome NOP but it seems its the other way around. Portland is seeded #3 so I was really surprised that they are swept. And even though NOP missed Cousins because of injury, but Davis and Holiday really step it up and combine for a monster 88 points, of course Rondo is there for experience and leadership so its really a team effort on their end. So its going to be Warriors vs NOP, and with how they played, Warriors hands are full with the duo of Davis and Holiday.
