Game Thread Spurs (22-7) vs Thunder (26-4) (Thu 12/25/25) [1:30 PM CDT]

[tearsofmorningdew]

not that it matters but we won the season series against the Thunder

 

[SanAnSpursFan21]

This ownage couldn’t have come against a better team. I can’t stand their fans, the ones here locally (SW MO) are just bandwagoners who don’t even watch games, but they talk so much trash.

 

[sKiN20]

Remember, Wemby is not even 100%

He is 100% healthy. Mitch just wants to bench him and restict his minutes

 

[NASpurs]

It's like an alternative universe. I don’t know how to feel

I'm there with you. I didn't truly believe and thought we were going to get our ass kicked. The swag is real.

 

[100%Duncan]

Thoughts:

I was told Fox was too small for this matchup but he was big today.

Champagnie is gonna see his minutes dip in a potential series against the Thunder. He really isn’t for this matchup but maybe he figures it out.

SGA isn’t jack shit when things don’t go his way. Maybe the spurs are his kryptonite because they’ve made him look so average and overrated in these games.

Idk, if anything, SGA is doing a carry job on these bums.

 

[Naga]

I literally can’t believe this. I would have been happy with the first win. To get all 3? Incredible progress, hats off to Mitch and these young guys.

 

[ginobilized]

8-0 last 8
3-0 vs OKC, dropped them to 26-5 and handed them their 1st loss at home this year
23-7
I'm going on record in saying our Wemby/Fox/Castle/Harper squad might be working out for us.

 

[PanameSpur]

I don't know what's more exciting, beating the Thunder three times when they have been on such a tear, or doing it while not really playing great basketball.

You mean offensively.

We've been monsters on D

 

[spursistan]

We really gonna panic OKC into a Giannis trade

 

[Sec24Row7]

Thunder shot open 3 horribly and missed a lot of FT. We were lucky to get this one. But I’ll sure as hell take it!

 

[Kick-Stand]

Beating OKC will be a whole different beast in the playoffs, but very encouraging to see how terrible a matchup the Spurs are for the Thunder. LOL all the analysts saying you can't have three point guards when that's such a huge reason the Spurs can fight through OKC's turnover forcing defense.

 

[bozhemoi]

OKC has a fuck ton to think about. It's rare for a champion to get their sides ripped open in three games against a burgeoning rival. These last two games there wasn't a lot they could do, just not a lot of answers against the Spurs right now. Wemby is a monster against them defensively, the Spurs are taking care of the ball, and the three guard rotation is super hard for them to stop.

15 point win ain't luck

On Champ, it just looked like the form on his shot was awkward today... once he finds it again I think he'll be fine..

 

[SPURt]

Merry Christmas to us! Got the tie breaker for the #1 seed

 

[PanameSpur]

It's a Christmases miracle!

I'd have said that before, now I not even sure it's a miracle.

I don't think we realize how scary good we're defensively

 

[Chinook]

Idk, if anything, SGA is doing a carry job on these bums.

Yep. He's fine. But the Thunder are being exposed as being dependent on him. Chet's contract looks questionable now. He gets bodied by Keldon of all people. Long-term, they might be better off trading Holmgren and Williams for a real second max player so they can keep their depth in the future.

 

[timtonymanu]

Also fuck Loser Dirt. Thats his permanent nickname from now on.

 

[100%Duncan]

I dont get it OKC missed a lot sure, but we also did in the 2nd half. Especially with Vassell, Champ, etc

 

[Millennial_Messiah]

not that it matters but we won the season series against the Thunder

Why wouldn't it matter? Tiebreaker for #1 seed would be huge. It's like 2002-03 against Dallas but we're only 3 games behind now.

 

[spursparker9]

Mitch was great using his Timeouts.

But what up with that french vanilla short stint in the 4Q? OKC almost turn the momentum and startrd run during that stint.

I don't think Korndog and Vic should be on floor together for OKC and GSW matchup

 

[Millennial_Messiah]

15 point win ain't luck

WE ARE SO FUCKING BAAAAAAAAAAAACK!!!!!

(It's 80 degrees on Xmas today)

 

[wemvp]

Sochan minutes! A Christmas miracle!

Even got on the stat sheet with a board.

He's the 2025 Spurs' Tiny Tim

It’s like Chet never really built his strength against stocky nba dudes. Idk if he plays like that against other teams, sure as hell dont watch them play aside from our games.

Someone wrote it the other day, we have too many elite point guards and at least one will always be on top of his game.

If two play well, only the best teams can beat us.

If all three are doing well like they did tonight, we probably can't lose when Wemby is back to his regular minutes.
