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

we were terrible in clutch time. and it's not like Portland vwere very good, we had tons of occasions, second chances and no one seemed able to buy a bucket. not a good sign but hey, it's just a game. jokic and murray, two proven clutch players and winners, were terrible too in the miney time in their loss against the wolves.

we'll see if t's just one game or a true tendancie with our team right now....

Reading the concussion protocol and knowing how overly cautious our medical team is, along with parsing through those post-game quotes from Mitch and the players, i would be shocked if Wemby even travels to Portland. It seems like they are prepared for him to miss at least the next two games even at the cost of going down 1-3 in the series..

Definitely a moment of truth for this lot. If they can't get a split on the road from one of the least pedigreed playoffs teams, maybe they were fugazi all along.

fk me, game 2 couldnt have gone worse

why, basketball gods

 

[siraulo22]

Scoot really playing like a superstar, dafaq

Blazers other role players gonna play better in Portland so even if Scoot comes back to earth it wont be easy

If Wemby is really gonna miss a few games, someone needs to step up big time or they gonna be down 1-3 going back to SA

Sigh…
Hopefully people realise this is one game, a game in which we didn’t play well and yet almost eeked it out.
I’ll back our three Backcourt Gs to come back strong.

Does anyone remember the nightmare of a first round in ‘14 against Dallas? They got it done in 7 and it seemed to turbocharge them the rest of the way.

This team hasn’t lost back to back games since January.

I mean, they did miss some wide open looks, airballing them even. But it was Castle’s beyond reckless play that were some of the real backbreakers.

You can't call castle reckless when Mitch kept calling the same retarded iso ball play time after time. We should have been putting them in high pick and roll after high pick and roll but Mitch is a dipshit without Wemby out there to save him.

We are in trouble.

Tim Duncan didn’t have a concussion against Dallas and this team isn’t a championship core.

If we don’t at least get a split in Portland it’ll be over

Only difference is that '14 team had players that had plenty of playoff experience under their belt. This is a much different squad, who's leader will be out, going back to the to the opponents homecourt with no clear #1 option. Doable, yes! Just much, much tougher situation.

Way to much ISO plays , ISO is so easy for a playoff cranked defense to defend

I don't think I've ever seen a basketball player get KO'd by falling and landing on their jaw before. Is this a completely unique injury in basketball history?
