Game Thread Playoffs Round 1, Game 3: Blazers vs Spurs (1-1) (Fri 04/26/2026) [9:30 CDT]

[Wemby_Island]

Hitting some midrange jumper with a 10 pts lead?

If Fraudster Fox hit some 3s that break the tie or take the lead then he is shitting on us

We got lucky when they didn’t gave the turnover off ball hit his legs.

Fortunately Raptors dont have challenges. That would have been brutal change of sequence. He should not be that sloppy.

The expectation is he should be our jrue

 

[Mugen]

And huge shoutout to my man Carter Bryant. That stepback 3 was absolutely huge. Held his own against everybody he defended and ended up cooling down Jrue.

This kid is special.

 

[LeBowen]

His defense was key no doubt.

It's actually so fucking over for the league in a few years with Harper/Castle/CB/Wemby lineup. Fifth guy can be someone from the crowd, we're still not getting scored on.

I seriously think that could be the best defense in league history.

 

[ginobilized]

CB as a small ball center and then bringing the ball up the court is pretty unusual. Shawn Marion vibes with a better looking shot.

 

[poopbox]

Winning this game without Wemby could be really huge in the long run. These guys proved to themselves they don’t need a crutch, they can make things happen. Only going to make us even better with Wemby

I think they proved that they do need a crutch. It's Dylan Harper

Embarrassing games from Keldon and Devin.

I'm not even got to count barnes he spent his whole career doing this. Or...not doing this. Plus I don't even think he played 9 minutes.

Best win since rockets game 6 2017!!!!

Why did Harper got to Rutgers again?

 

[Dex]

These are the kinda standout games from guys like Harper that you need to make a special run. Great game everybody

I'm going to bed now lol

 

[Wemby_Island]

I get that Harper was awesome and Fox was less than awesome but in the playoffs different players have big games. Fox can still have an important big game that helps us even if Harper is the future.

Mitch may have been a bigger problem than Fox tonight, honestly, and Harper erased that from the conversation.

Its not even about Fox shooting. He had Ok game today there.

He is very sloppy with the ball, with weak D and bad rebounding.

For his deficiencies he need to cover with superb scoring. Ok game wont move the buck

 

[JMarkJohns]

Loving all this Carter love here! He’s also getting callouts on the Prime Postgame from Haslem, and Dylan giving him some spotlight!

 

[Dbreiden83080]

The real MVP in the one:

Game Thread starter @brazil

Time to put this Ferrari back in the garage and let @BatManu20 take Game 4

Let’s fucking GO!!

Our secret weapon

 

[Mugen]

I'm fucking jacked. JACKED TO THE TITS!

What a win, baby.

 

[Coyote2!]

Why did Harper got to Rutgers again?

They paid him and he's from Jersey would be my guess

EDIT: Nvm that was NIL, not direct payment

 

[timtonymanu]

After the Nuggets game. Said exactly this

Carter was great too tbh

 

[MannyIG]

And huge shoutout to my man Carter Bryant. That stepback 3 was absolutely huge. Held his own against everybody he defended and ended up cooling down Jrue.

This kid is special.

I really think he was crucial tonight. He played HUGE minutes and was EVERYWHERE. Spurs D was amazing tonight - without the DPOY!!!!

 

[SpurPadre]

Blake Griffin rightfully points out how Dylan not taking Scoot’s bait was a big factor in the dub.

 

[MannyIG]

I think they proved that they do need a crutch. It's Dylan Harper

Embarrassing games from Keldon and Devin.

I'm not even got to count barnes he spent his whole career doing this. Or...not doing this. Plus I don't even think he played 9 minutes.

Keldon and Devin were fine. Why the fuck do you think they are embarassing? Both were good on D, played solid minutes and hit some big shots.

Not sure what y'all expact.

They paid him a shit ton

Who gives a fuck? He’s a Spur
And that’s all that matters lol.

 

[Wemby_Island]

Camara talking so much shit all night while putting up 2 points, gtfo here

He is our MVP from their side for us in 2nd half.

Thank god he made them to use 2nd challenge.

 

[SouthernFried]

IMO the best adjustment was CB bringing the ball up because they knew Robert Williams wouldn’t try to be an aggressive onball defender. This caused the entire Portland defense to become stagnant. Great coaching call by Mitch.

Good observation. I was wondering about that myself, but you're right...nobody challenged CB bringing up the ball. Good call.

 

[SpurPadre]

Not sure what y'all expact.

Devin had a horrible third quarter, though.
