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

[ginobilized]

The way HB exited does not bode well. He's an ironman vet and immediately went to the locker room, he knew something was pretty wrong with his forearm.
Wemby is gone for sure, but, if we lose Harper and HB, shit could get ugly fast.

 

[CGD]

Wemby not playing game 3 and probably as unlikely to play game 4. That was a legit concussion. Game 5 is in 7 days time.

Here hoping for a #SpursRef in Portland. NBA knows where its bread is buttered, lol.

 

[DaSlicer]

Not trying to cliff jump as it's one game, but I have to be honest, not sure this team makes it out of the 2nd round with how we're looking lately. Pretty much every player aside from Wemby looks like ass out there. We may need a secondary "star" if we want to win a title.

It definitely feels like that so far. It kind of reminds me of the Spurs when David Robinson was carrying them before Tim Duncan. They would win a lot of the regular season games but couldn't get guys to step up in the playoffs.

 

[LeBowen]

we need guards that can hit outside shots.Fox and castle aint it.

We would've easily won the game if they hit their mid-range shots, something which lead guards of every other contender can do.
Or at least FTs.

 

[SpurPadre]

Castle looked like Playoff Beno Udrih in the 4th quarter.

 

[spurraider21]

My estimation of De'Aaron Fox as a man just fucking plummeted

He couldn’t fucking sell it

 

[Kick-Stand]

Ugh these are the kind of games you gotta win to get a title. Now just gotta hope they can come back from Portland with the split. Went from thinking they'd win a short series to hoping it can be pulled out in 6 or 7. Just shit breaks that Victor wasn't ready when Holiday pulled the chair.

 

[John B]

And the domino of doubters again

 

[Snake Eyes]

It’s been a while since I felt sick during the playoffs . What helps is a nice bourbon. Nothing too fancy just a 4 selection.

Seriously, I really hope Victor is ok. He was completely out for a few seconds and then I knew he was in trouble when he tried to get up and look like he got punched by Tyson in his heyday.

 

[Mugen]

I mean if they can't split two games in Portland (with or without Vic), they weren't going to do shit in these playoffs anyways tbh

 

[onechance87]

Did Harper play after the reinjury of the thumb?

Yea..but dumbass mitch subbed him out in favor of castle who shot a airball right after.

 

[goprimogo]

gotta make that call to the bucks and dump fox asap

 

[Wemby_Island]

How many games we lost this season by sitting Harper during closing minutes and trying to put ball in Fox hands?

Its alot…

The game in Denver also we lost in the same fashion. Come on Mitch… Harper and CB needs more minutes.

 

[WembyFan]

I'm actually kinda excited we get to see what this team is made of, they'll need to figure shit out and so do the coaches. I do think we can still beat Portland, even without Vic.

 

[CGD]

Just hoping Wemby is healthy enough to play on Friday. What’s the concussion protocol if it’s the playoffs?

Per AI, 48 hours of inactivity and monitoring. And then testing/has be be cleared by NBA docs.

Game 3 is tough. That was a hard fall. Like a boxer who has been knocked out. Hope he’s OK.

Wemby is gone for sure?

 

[Mugen]

We can't survive Keldon being this bad if Vic misses a game or two tbh.

 

[Snake Eyes]

I agreed to a certain extent. The playoffs are a different beast, and now the Blazers have confidence. We will see if San Antonio can match their intensity at home.

 

[Spurs Homer]

I dont think its a given that vic misses any games…isnt the protocol 24-48 hrs followed by an immediate evaluation?

 

[Kick-Stand]

He couldn’t fucking sell it

I'm better off with Dylan. I wanna see Mitch in the coach's office tomorrow.

 

[Snake Eyes]

. I’m not sure why they have not given it to him in the block, but he’s been poor and that’s disappointing for the team and himself.

 

[Amuseddaysleeper]

I worry this isn’t going to be the series for him but we are going need to someone to way over perform if we want a split in Portland

 

[The Ballsbreakers]

We're better off with Tony (Parker).

 

[210XSpurs]

Maybe more Carter Bryant is the answer

 

[e78]

Yeah. Cant overlook how bad KJ has been in these first 2 games.
