Game Thread Playoffs Round 1, Game 5: Spurs vs Blazers (3-1) (Tue 04/28/2026) [8:00 CDT]

I felt that the Spurs will play well today but not that well. Keep the foot on the gas and be up by more than 30 at half time
 
Jesus, Vic just totally fucking up Portland's offence.
They're second-guessing each time they see the big fella.
It's like they're short-circuiting, collectively.
 
Blazers should've made roster space for Caleb Love, he torched us in that regular season game they won in SA.
There's no point in having Wesley on the roster that'a already all about defense and can't make a shot.
 
I stand by the statement that OKC has absolutely no answer for Vic. either they put someone on the floor who can't shoot 3s to guard him, or they go small ball.

Either way they're so, so fucked on one side of the ball.
 
The teamwork, vibes and cohesion on this team are on par with the talent. Pretty spectacular. Great to see them having fun and playing freely and with purpose.
Still a total mindfuck that Zach Collins, Tre Jones and Malaki Branham were on this team last season.
 
Gotta think the only team more physical than the Blazers in the West is the Timberwolves. And they got their health issues.
 
So this is going to seem kind of obscure, but when I learned basketball, my dad taught me to follow my shot. Always follow your shot. Every time Vic does that, it reminds me of my dad. He would have loved that.

You can't out-talent an opponent, but you can definitely outwork them. Legging out a single and following your jump shot are things my dad lived by.
