Game Thread Playoffs Round 1, Game 1: Spurs vs Blazers (0-0) (Sun 04/19/2026) [8:00 CDT]

[Wemby_Island]

I barely understood anything Wemby said in the postgame interview. He’s too tall, the mic doesn’t reach him

He said 35 is not too much points to brag about

For the 1st Q that lady asked about how do you feel scoring the record in 1st playoff game.

 

[thiste]

They hack & slash & push Wemby EVERY possession no whistle, wtf seriously

BTW this would maybe be fine if it was the same on both sides, which it wasn't. That successful challenge was major BS as well.

 

[SpurPadre]

Would have been sweet to have Manu, TP, Bruce, Sean, Boris, Red Rocket, and Patty all sitting together for the home games.

How about TP sitting next to Brent Barry

 

[100%Duncan]

He really said Wemby wasn’t getting hit during the game

Soft ass dude. Only got out of the first round because of us

 

[Dbreiden83080]

Tmac still hating on Vic tbh

A career loser. Complete loser.

Thanks! I thought I heard something like that but it was hard for me to make it out

NBC really dropped the ball with this crew. At least Inside the NBA is entertaining. Amazon got it 100% right in one shot tbh.

I can listen to Melo and Vince. Tmac just sounds and looks insufferable.

He always came off to me as bitter and a big crybaby because his career was basically over before he was 30.

 

[Robz4000]

Even despite the officiating, its great to see the Spurs still won comfortably playing a B-/C+ game

Blake Griffin is surprisingly insightful and non-biased for Prime too.

I have made that observation for a while that Victor can not be heard during these postgame interview due to being too tall for the interviewer to reach him with the mic plus he can hardly hear them again due to the height discrepancy. They need to get a tall stool or chair for the reporter to stand on when interviewing him.

He's still just upset Duncan said no to playing in Orlando lol

B- at best. lots of nerves and we honestly had to get this 1 out of the way. Hopefully tues is more of the A game.

That would be pretty funny to see. But it’s true, they need it. Either that or a handle with an extension for the mic

yeah and he does an absolutely killer barkley impression too

Hopefully the biggest lesson they learned is that the playoffs will naturally be more physical and that they need to play through calls they perceive to be bullshit.

Pretty great to see Wemby hit the step back triple to surpass TDs playoff debut scoring total record

I agree, but the officiating was particularly bad tonight. Hopefully on Tuesday it is better.

 

[spurs2112]

To be fair they called very even games in regular seasons when we played OKC.

Hope it stays that way.

I do think they did to. Just wondering if the playoffs would change that.

 

[Spursgenius]

Yeah, I saw it, but the player put his arm on him. The first offense was the foul. The fact that Castle hooked him after the contact is irrelevant. If you think it's egregious, call him for a technical, but it's after the play. The play was the foul. It's dead ball after that.

It's equally as stupid as calling Victor for that foul after he made the block. The contact was after the play. It didn't matter. It never matters. Only to this crew does that shit matter. You're living in a completely different world right now from rational basketball rules.

Is this crew a bad crew historically ? Are we talking Joey Crawford dick Bavatta Scott foster the guy that looks like black bulldog bad. ?

 

[heyheymymy]

The Fiesta colors in the Frost Bank Center tonight looked amazing!

 

[WembyFan]

Yea these networks need to just give Wemby a mic in the post-game interview so he can be heard.

Where's Sean, he's already in Cancun after a long season of hard work?

Yep
Bullying the fans to put on their shirts was well worth it
