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

[SanAnSpursFan21]

I did not envision a month ago the Blazers doing our guys in tbh

 

[Snake Eyes]

Maybe Castle’s not playing scared, but he sure is playing stupid. He’s playing ISO Kobe ball and everyone here is slobbering over it. The +/- here actually tells a pretty accurate story, it’s losing basketball.

I usually agree with you 100%. But my eye test I feel different. I feel nobody else has stepped up and Fox needs to take control. I want him to. Not getting anything from KJ, Vassell, Barnes and Harper is killing us.

 

[WFO]

We had 14 more fga’s than Portland in 2Q and still get outscored.

 

[onechance87]

Fox is getting abused by Deni lol wtf are we doing

castle as well...blew right past castle

 

[SpursFan86]

Seriously sick to my stomach. Scoot/Holiday/Grant shooting a combined 9/14 from three.

Jerami Grant caught that and didn’t bring it down whatsoever like he’s Klay Thompson or something

 

[210XSpurs]

Shoutout to Robert Williams playing like his 2022 self.

 

[LeBowen]

Trade Mitch and Fox for Splitter, tbh.

 

[spursistan]

So lucky to be down only 6.

It's troubling how outmatched and outcoached they seem by the least pedigreed team in the entire playoffs. Blazers look more fluid and organized than us.

 

[tearsofmorningdew]

Fox BBIQ is hilariuos. Guy is melting down under the bright lights

Clutch player of the year!!
Lost (key word— lost) to the warriors in 7!!!

 

[WembyFan]

It's only a 6 pont lead, Spurs got this.

Towards the end of the season, I was starting to get a little worried about the Blazers for two reasons 1) they have guys who can get hot from 3 and 2) they offensive rebound. But @spurraider21 convinced me they weren’t any good and then we beat them pretty easily without Wemby… I hate that my first instinct was more correct

 

[Paramore]

we really need height

except for Wemby, and then if Kornet goes to the bench, what do we have

midgets compared stratospheric lineups of other teams

FO >>> please attend to this in the offseason

 

[Robz4000]

Even if Wemby comes back Sunday I'm not sure the Spurs can pull this series out. Guests' young players are stepping up to the challenge while the Spurs' are wilting. Doesn't help Mitch looks completely lost.

 

[kjhip1]

considering we were down 10, six points aint too bad. clean up the rebounds and TOs and hope they play Clingan more than Williams

 

[ird80]

Rw3 is free agent yall said right? We can get him this summer?

 

[100%Duncan]

The question is do you blame the 21 year old who's showing by far the most effort or the coaching staff not being able to put anyone in good positions?

I blame the FO for having 3 charity spots at Center.

 

[spurs2112]

Just need to tighten some shit up. The games there for the taking.

 

[SpurPadre]

We’re lucky we’re not down 16 but for these playoffs, the team is nothing without Wemby. No real #2 guy to count on.

 

[Wemby_Island]

Might need to re-read the Robert Williams scouting report. Not a great idea to challenge him when you are a foot shorter

They are challenging him multiple times and he is blocking every time.

Get to the open guy. Spurs IQ I would rate like 29-30 in league. Only rockets/knicks are behind us

 

[ChrisC21209]

You’d figure that a lot of things should regress to the mean, like Hendersons shooting. Also it’s a miracle Robert Williams is healthy at this point of the season tbh..

 

[Paramore]

shots of midgets get blocked

 

[Amuseddaysleeper]

Man fuck, 1 step forward 2 steps back. Feels like we down 20 with the way momentum is

 

[Mugen]

rebounding is killing then as expected. If we can control the boards in the 2nd half, they have a chance

 

[Dbreiden83080]

Fox picked it up honestly. But we need KJ and Harper.

Their owner didn't even want them in the playoffs and their actual head coach is facing jail time. Fucking lowest of lows right now. Funny thing is you know the Blazers will just get swept by whoever comes out of the Minny/Denver matchup.
