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

[NotRobDiaz21]

We don't need to lie to ourselves fellas...this series is over. I think Minny takes it in 5 tbh

 

[ginobilized]

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

We match up way better with OKC. They would sweep Minny, though or close to it

 

[CGD]

Why the fuck did Mitch not call a time out christ!

it was the right call tbh

 

[onechance87]

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

Dumbass castle gotta know better as well..Asking the spurs to challenge.And our coach should not use any challenges in the first half for any reason.

 

[Splits]

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

you don't need a 3, you need a bucket. a serious coach would be able to draw up a play with 7 seconds to go. that was a horrible decision

 

[KDKSpurs24]

Some of yall are ridiculous! Champagnie was the reason why we had the opportunity to win the game with his offensive rebounding. If anyone was going to make that shot HE was the person to take it! It was a good shot. I thought for sure it was going in because of how locked in he was down the stretch making all those winning plays

 

[WembyFan]

Struggling against Portland was a sign

 

[scott]

He was wincing after the whistle with his leg/ankle

Yeah I noticed that too, he may have not had the juice to drive

 

[Kick-Stand]

How do you not call the time out there ffs argh

Would you really have felt better with Mitch drawing up the play?

 

[Rafa]

Too young to know what to do in that situation, the team as a whole seemed a bit lost once they got the rebound. Normally I’d say call a timeout 99/100 times but our out of TO plays have been horrendous so I don’t even think the outcome changes.

 

[Dbreiden83080]

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

The point is we got that look. Minnesota had to be shitting themselves because it was at the buzzer. And he’s a good three-point shooter.

 

[Splits]

it was the right call tbh

no it was not. you need a 2, not a 3

 

[CGD]

Yes I want to set up against their defense. Their defense was good but this teams bad decisions took it up to another level. We did ourselves absolutely no favors.

Dude we got an excellent look at the end from out best shooter. It simply didnt go in.

 

[scott]

Couldn't ask for a better look than that tbh.

Story of the night unfortunately, 3 wasn't falling and Vic/Fox were really bad offensively.

Let's get Game 2 and regroup.

This kind of sanity is not allowed

 

[spurs2112]

They'll bounce back. I dont expect Fox and Vic to be this bad on offense again. Like I said earlier I hope its just them being off for a week.

 

[Ice009]

Good look but Champ shouldn’t be our go to final shot guy. Mitch should have called a timeout.

I wanted D-Harp to take it. I felt he would have made it. I loved what Julian did, but I agree, he's not the guy I want taking the last shot. His shakiness on the free throw line late in games. I don't know, I just felt strongly about Dylan shooting it.

 

[PokerFace21]

I know Champ was open but a 2 and OT would have been a better call.

 

[Raven_]

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

sure... except you didn't need a 3 and you have a 7-5 franchise player to rely on

 

[The Truth #6]

No timeout was fine. Got a great look. The other 46 minutes were shit.

 

[CGD]

no it was not. you need a 2, not a 3

What about this game makes you think that we were gonna get an easy bucket with 8 seconds left in the game?

 

[Mugen]

We got a wide open 3 with our best shooter, no idea how anybody can complain about that tbh.

 

[WembyFan]

Im fine with the non-timeout. The one knock I have on Mitch this game is why Vic kept shooting all those 3s. Does he not have the authority/balls to go at him?

Cant blame Mitch much on Fox selling the game tbh.

You know the answer to this, it seems Vic can do whatever he wants.

 

[poopbox]

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

It's more of a numbers game. How many times have a team scored on the last play of a game out of a timeout vs how many they have scored on the last play of the game just playing it out. One of those numbers is way higher than the other.

 

[Dbreiden83080]

I’m fully confident heading into the weekend that the series will be tied. But we have a lot to clean up. It’s gonna be one ugly ass film session tomorrow morning.

 

[SpurPadre]

You go for the tie at home, the GW three on the road. Should have called a timeout, tbh.
