Game Thread Playoffs Round 2, Game 1: Spurs vs Timberwolves (0-0) (Mon 05/04/2026) [8:30 CDT]

[tearsofmorningdew]

Minny in 6 tbh.

If we lose I hope it’s a sweep so real changes are made. I’m hopeful for a win in 5 or 6

 

[poopbox]

Didn't call a timeout

The three people we can't have shit the bed, Mitch, Fox, and Victor...all shit the bed at the exact same time.

 

[Weeks]

coaching was shite this game, all the way back to that stupid meaningless challenge in the first quarter

 

[scott]

Damn that was a good Champ look, wonder if Dylan was too gassed to take it to the basket, looked like he might have had a drive

 

[WembyFan]

Good look, not really Julian's preferred style so not surprised he missed, well deserved loss

 

[Hoopdreams11]

I don’t know why we didn’t space shannon

 

[SpurPadre]

Reminds me of a classic Pop finish to the game, not wanting to call timeout for a better drawn out final play.

 

[Dyoung13]

Could not have had a better look. It was the right decision not to call time out because that was a great look.

Ya but the chances of getting a good look is low, who doesn’t call a timeout, coach is so dumb. Good news is Fox and Wemby were complete trash offensively and we lose by 1, but this team needs to start playing the right way because this iso shit is a joke

 

[LeBowen]

There's nothing I hate more than these idiotic vibe coaches that "let the guys play it out".
For fucks sake we don't have Lebron or CP3 on the roster, you don't fucking play it out.

I'm going into a 48h basketball isolation, this game killed my motivation for everything. Not because of the loss, but because I have flashbacks to senile Pop actively losing us games.

 

[Fireball]

now I have to get through the day with four hours of sleep and a Spurs loss weighing on my head

 

[Wemby_Island]

Julian's rebounding kept us in the game. I would've liked to tie the game and play overtime at home, though.

He is one of our best player for the minutes he play.

Yet no one runs anything through him. Fuck this team.

 

[drpill]

How do you not call the time out there ffs argh

 

[Devi8or]

Normally I'd be mad at mitch for not calling a TO, but they had a wide open look with one of your best shooters, he just missed

 

[Ice009]

Man. I wanted a timeout, but that was a good look. I wanted Dylan to shoot it, though. I thought Dylan was feeling it and was the guy to shoot it.

 

[Uriel]

It was the right call not calling a timeout. If Champ hits that 3, everybody is calling Mitch a genius for his situational awareness.

 

[Kick-Stand]

can’t ask for a better look. Now it’s time to see what this team is made of.

We just did. Could have had Taylor Jenkins coaching but Holt went Portland with his coaching search.

 

[Splits]

How, just how do you not call a timeout and setup a last possession??????????


Mitch "feels" Johnson thinks he knows better. What an idiot

 

[CGD]

Fox has been complete ass today

 

[Mogging]

Didn't call a timeout

The three people we can't have shit the bed, Mitch, Fox, and Victor...all shit the bed at the exact same time.

Meh it was a wide open shot, best look they would’ve got.

 

[ginobilized]

We struggle with teams that can outmuscle us. Minny's a damn good team when they want to be. It's going to be hostile AF in Minneapolis. Gotta win Wednesday.

 

[Ice009]

Man, respect on the interview from Anthony Edwards. Real respect from me on his being critical of himself at the end there. Calling himself out for giving up two offensive rebounds to Champ and also turning the ball over.

 

[Dbreiden83080]

Wemby 5/17
Fox 5/14

Yuck

 

[timtonymanu]

OKC would beat us in 5 too, tbh. Might as well just stomach losing to the Twolves than having to lose to that unlikeable OKC team lol

 

[Fabbs]

Where are the game grades?

Timeout wouldn’t have given us a better look than the one we got, tbh
