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

[TDomination]

After being spoiled of making the playoffs every year except one from 1990-2019, I think having a 7 year drought definitely gave us the hunger once again to simply appreciate being back in the playoffs.

I remember the games would feel so mellow in rounds 1 and 2 (for the most part) cause we just expected to be there.

But Now? We’re pulling our hairs out and yelling through the ceiling from excitement and it’s just game 1

Didn't shoot it well at all tonight (4/13) and we'll def need him to be better moving forward, but Steph still competed hard and still impacted the game in other ways.

It's amazing how bad some former players are as analysts. T-Mac and Carmelo are both ass in the studio. On par with Reggie Miller in the booth.

"Be more physical, especially against Victor", that's what Avdija just said in his post game presser... wtf they really want to injure him since they can't win against him, and the refs are happy to let it happen...

Hope Avdija does not start to think of a Wemby injury being promised to him 3,000 years ago.

Tbf, he got fucked by the refs (surprise) on several of his shots that didn't get called that were legit playoff fouls.

Crypto/Staples is a dead arena by comparison. The lighting alone would put you to sleep

The replies to that tweet like always prove that Laker fans are dumbest fans in the league. I laughed at their response by them screaming the Lakers have 17 titles and the Spurs have 5 so it doesn't matter. Well at least now they are no longer saying the Spurs have 4.5 titles lol which they used to say based on the '99 title being an asterisk title in their eyes.

I put all my smart lights in Spurs mode for this playoff run

That doesn’t seem right. I remember at least that shot Avdija drilled on Wemby. But overall, yes, Portland was definitely shook, sometimes missing by a lot when Wemby was around

It was a bit unsettling seeing the team revert right to back early season form where the opponent goes on a 10-0 run to begin the 3rd quarter.
I am happy overall but right now they are 0-1 in the Playoffs for not coming out flat in the 3rd quarter.
