Game Thread Playoffs Round 1, Game 2: Spurs vs Blazers (1-0) (Tue 04/21/2026) [7:00 CDT]

[MannyIG]

Damn. Rough loss. Spurs are gonna learn a lot about themselves right now.

 

[100%Duncan]

I'm not ready to pile on because its not just his fault but this one game is way more of a factor than 20 regular season games. He needs to do more in these games without Wemby. I expect the jitters from Steph. But Fox needs to do better.

Youre one of the biggest positive mental attitude guys in the site and Ive found it annoying at times. But maybe being positive right now is all we can do tbh.


Because it’s looking grim if Wemby is out for the next 2 games.

 

[timtonymanu]

God the announcers really couldn't hide their semen love for Portland

 

[1kangaroo]

Wow the entire team sucked arse down the stretch very disappointing any news on barnes injury

 

[WembyFan]

I'd say this was a bad game.

 

[Kick-Stand]

Fucking Sacramento Fox

 

[NotRobDiaz21]

Terrible fucking shot. Why are these Portland scrubs and announcers acting like our MVP isn't out?

 

[SpurPadre]

Devin stepped on the out of bounds line anyway.

 

[Dbreiden83080]

How depressing. Scoot if Victor plays we blow you bums out. So kiss my ass.

 

[Robz4000]

Either they win game 3 in Portland or this series might be a wrap tbh (unless Wemby is able to come back).

 

[Snake Eyes]

Ouch.

 

[The_Second_Coming_of_VY65]

1-1 going to Portland without Wemby, HB, and a hobbled Harper. Tell me how we make it to 6 games?

 

[Unseen]

Portland awards the refs with the MvP award

 

[QuarryHeights]

Mitch got out couched in this game - Oh well on to the next one

 

[goprimogo]

fox showed who he really was tonite

 

[ginobilized]

Mitch is more emotional than I've seen this season now that the playoffs have commenced
Not sure that is helping

 

[Rafa]

Man I’ve never been impressed with any out of timeout play we’ve ever ran. Nothing ever clever or good, always something basic, ineffective, and rarely leads to a basket. Gonna be tough to live with those the further we go in (if we go in )

 

[Kick-Stand]

Lawler's Law, you fucked me tonight

 

[Blizzardwizard]

I recall someone on here saying that we could use a 3rd string center who is serviceable
Might be something to that

lots of people have said for months that giving charity contracts to guys who aren't real NBA players was a bad idea


had a chance to do something about it at the deadline but We Like What We Have prevailed as per usual

 

[Splits]

The "everybody's balls shrivel up and are afraid to take a shot in crunch time" offense.

we were literally trying to run out the clock with like 5 minutes to go, no plays called, nothing. just dribble out until 8 seconds, find Kornet at the top of the key and heave desperation shots. A lot of this is on Mitch TBH

 

[2Trill]

Last 5 mins was bad basketball. I expect more from Mitch and Fox in those moments.

 

[The Ballsbreakers]

Welp.
This is mostly on the coaching staff with the way the team collectively lost its head in the final 3 minutes, allowing for consecutive possessions with nary a play called other than Fox iso-ing against good defenders.
I see this going 6 or 7 either way IF Vic does not come back.

 

[Fabbs]

Devin should have gone straight into his shot there, gave Holiday a chance to foul him

Basketball 101.
He also didn't follow his shot.
Looked like he might have had a chance at the rebound? Not recording over here, long story.

 

[Rafa]

It's an overreaction, but right now I feel like I wasted hundreds of hours watching every single minute of this season if the first real adversity in the playoffs is going to end up in a monumental choke.

Having this happen in prob the worst game Deni is gonna have sucks too

 

[timtonymanu]

What a frustrating game. Lose Vic, Fox adding to his playoff choker label, Castle played like dogshit, gave away HCA. Reggie and Tirico being big Blazers homers.
