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

If it's a concussion at least it happened to the first round. It might make the series longer than it needs to be but I don't see any reason he won't be back by game 5 at the latest

Pretty much what I was thinking. That would be a week.

 

[tearsofmorningdew]

whole first quarter Portland was molesting our guys and it took guys falling on their ass to get to the line. Just putrid shit. Somebody needs to zaza jrue tonight

 

[EmanuelDavidGinobili]

Fox time to earn your fucking money.

 

[MannyIG]

He's out a week probably

I'm not sure that's right. Looks like 48 hours after a diagnosis at minimum so we'll see. Wemby doens't have a history of concussions AFAIK so that should point to a faster recovery given that it wans't that severe of an impact. I think more of the location of the hit being right on the chin which the impact sends a signal for the shut down. Its why boxers always aim for that, but its not necessarily a severe concussion by any stretch.

That being said I want them to be as safe as fucking possible with this. Concussions are fucking scary and I dont' think they should fuck around at all with it. IDGAF about the series compared to this dudes brain.

Need a first PF instead of a third C

That’s acceptable. A PF that can masquerade as a C for spot minutes

 

[Guru of Nothing]

I'm a little excited at the prospect of seeing players step up in the 2nd half.

 

[Weeks]

Just Die Reggie Miller.

the worst, absolute worst

Team without Wemby is better than Portland. CB can match their small ball and keep us from having to use Plum. The only worry is the refs

My read:

They need to control the defensive rebounds, for god's sake.
Their half court offense has been figured out. Portland knows when they look for lobs, where the hand-offs are, what gets things activated.

The Spurs lit them up when they got out and ran.

 

[WembyFan]

Luckily this team is still good enough to win without Vic, hey we have a highly paid former all-star, we good.

 

[kxs783]

Today I learned a blood clot and a concussion are injury prone. Glue sniffer post, keep up the good work

Duh. If he isn't playing, it's a injury.

This is their moment. It's fuck or walk.

Fox is a current All-Star. We need him to step up badly.

 

[spursistan]

That's not an injury that you can say any one player is prone to.
Like, you cannot really say Wemby is "concussion-prone".

All i'm saying is his falls to the ground will result in more injuries than your typical 6'10 guy. We are just going be on high alert more antsy with him than anybody else. It's so frustrating, he couldn't even celebrate his DPOY properly. In last two weeks alone ribs contusion and concussion out of nowhere

 

[DaSlicer]

Concussion protocol doesn’t automatically mean that he has a concussion. It says that it’s 48 hours at which point they’re going to reevaluate you. Let’s just hope for the best.

Good point I hope the worst case scenario doesn't become a reality.

If a player enters into a concussion protocol, it would be atleast a week he will be back.

Thats what I learnt from NFL.

 

[Itzsoweezee]

Mitch needs to give Carter Bryant some big minutes.

 

[tearsofmorningdew]

Just pass that subjective ass concussion test. Fake it til you make it. It’s what the GOATs would do

Oh that's right, even better.

Late to the party. Fuck

I don't care if the Spurs lose the next two games by 35+, yeah no way I'm rushing Victor back. When he's good to go he goes, until then just gotta try to hold the fort down without him. Thank god they're not playing Minnesota in the first.

 

[spurraider21]

as a reminder we beat Portland in 2/3 regular season matchups this year and Wemby didnt play in a single game

we're still plenty capable of advancing, particularly given we have HCA. but we are going to need Kornet to match Clingan's minutes, and go with HB/CB at the 5 during the Robert Williams minutes

 

[MannyIG]

I don't know. I've seen some dumb shit from plenty of people on here and I few definitely have come from you. But like most, I just keep scrolling. I don't have to react to everything and neither do you. It's just a game. Stop being emotional.

And the guard that you see as the second coming of Michelle Jordan hasn't proved shit yet.

Nah you're right, this is what the ignore list is for. But judging by your bullshit, you're gonna pretty much annoy everyone here so have fun talking to yourself. Probably the only person who can stand your dumb shit.

 

[The Ballsbreakers]

Maybe not prone per se but his head is always going to have further to fall than almost any other player and it probably weighs more too.

get outta here hehe

 

[WembyFan]

he failed i would assume.
