For people (mostly Spurs fans) saying that there is reason for the Spurs to be optimistic...well yes, but if their big three played that well...and the team's bench played well...and they shot a good percentage....and they resorted to hack-a-Damp (embarassing)....then what other tricks are there? Rebounding battle and ft battle I suppose, but then all of those other things will probably have to happen as well to win. IMO it's just as much of a downer when you lose and your three best players played well.

I still have guarded optimism, but it's hard not to objectively say that the Spurs will need to play 110% every game to have a chance to win this series.
