Oh no, too bad we lost to the Nuggs last week. Clearly it will affect our chances.

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.

They still won the quarter by 5 at least tbh.

Now they (Trailblazers) have to fly Economy on Southwest, carry-on only. Bus rides only for games in “nearby” Northern California. One set of uniforms per player, wash it at home because we sold most of the washing machines and fired cleaning staff to cut costs. Please try to limit yourself to 8 squares of TP per bathroom visit. Oh and pick up a bottle of bleach and do your part, give your locker a little spray down before you leave.

Imagine if Keldon, Barnes, Champ, and Bryant showed up?

It's been a long time since the last Spurs playoff run, so I feel the need to remind you that the entire nine-man rotation is not going to give you 10+ points every game.

Welcome back to playoff basketball, Spurs fam! Feels good.

You’re not wrong. Which is why I’m still happy. I am just being a Nervous Nelly.

I'm also surprised at Deni's whistle because it came out of nowhere, like overnight he was a foul merchant, and he doesn't go to the rim with any sort of skill. No eurosteps no change of pace no nifty finishes he just runs at the rim a 100mph and throws a shot up.

He had a play where he just flat out ran over Keldon and they called a foul on Keldon. Luckily Dame is back next year so Deni won't be able to ref ball 100% of the time.

Where is this coming from? He averaged over 9 FTA a game and only got 6, 1 of those was from the technical from Johnson.

While he only got 5 FTA during game action, he got some sketchy touch fouls while the Spurs were getting mauled on the other end with no calls tbh.

I just liked the way they competed tbh.

Far from perfect on a lot of fronts but thought everybody kept grinding and nobody shied away from the moment.

I think they come out a lot sharper in Game 2.
