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

Victor is most likely out for the game.

As we need a win, let's use my perfect record so far to good use.

Victor concussion makes this serie harder than it should but this team has enough talent to win this serie even without him.

Let's go Spurs !

1.
 
Someone may have already said. But the Spurs won’t win this series without Vic if Henderson continues to outplay Fox. That’d be inexcusable for a 9 year vet all star guard brought in to lead the young guys.
 
Tough to ask a young team with almost no playoff experience to win G3 under these circumstances tbh. But it is what it is.

I don’t think they can win the series without Vic but I think they can eek out a split in Portland.

yes that should be the objective.. get the split with or without Victor
 
Open shots aren't fucking up our offense, him driving into the paint with no plan whatsoever is fucking up our offense.
I don’t even know what the complaint here even is… onechance says Castle needs to hit open shots, then you say he’s making them, and then he says that’s not the problem. What the fuck am I reading.
 
Giving up 2nd chance points is another big problem....

We will be fucked in the non-Korndog minutes tbh.... KO, Biyombo, Plumlee as Korndog's backup 🤦‍♂️

How can you say its not fcking up our offense when he has the ball in his hands alot?Castle is so easy to defend.They aint worried about him.
Airballing jumpshots and shit.He really looking like westbrick.

Are you ok? Did you read my posts properly?
Castle's 3pts aren't fucking up the offense because only one wasn't a c&s attempt. Those are the shots every single player in our rotation except Kornet should be taking.
He had one stepback 3 he made.
 
Yeah definitely disappointed in Castle's playoff play thus far. He's forcing it way to much and needs to chill out and flow with the offense
 
2-6 from 6 is not fine when they keep daring him to keep shooting.Now its fcking with his game play forcing shit
and fcking up our offense.
I'm going to have to agree with this one. This is what they want him to do. Portland would be very happy with the 2-6, so while it may be OK on the surface, that's what Portland wants. The 2 point percentage is even worse and LeBowen has a point there too, as that is costing the team even more. This is exactly what Portland wants. He simply has to be better inside the 3 point line. That's supposed to be Steph's bread and butter, but he's forcing it in there too much.

As awful as losing Wemby is, it was clear the team didn't really appreciate fully the level of intensity the playoffs brings. I am hoping that the injury turns out to be a blessing in disguise in making Fox, Castle, Harper, and KJ realize that the Spurs' ability to advance now depends primarily on them and to dig within themselves to raise their games to meet the moment. There's no substitute for experience, despite what many talking heads were saying throughout the season, and now the opportunity to get it is upon them, starting in Game 3. Here's hoping they are up to the challenge.
 
Assuming he’s not cleared for game 3, can Wemby even travel? In other words, if he misses game 3, does that mean he misses game 4 too?
