Game Thread Spurs (27-12) @ Thunder (33-7) (Tue 1/13/26) [7:00PM CST]

That was a frustration goaltend on Wemby. He knew that dumb thing was already going down

 

[scott]

Spurs should've used this as a rest game tbh.

Had we won in MIN it would have definitely been a viable move

 

[NotRobDiaz21]

Refs were never going to allow the Spurs to win this game tbh. Wemby should've sat

 

[timtonymanu]

There’s nothing wrong with optimizing while the irons hot. It’s not like we’re a 6 seed when we thought we were an 8, we are/were the 2 seed for almost a month and have had obvious, addressable deficiencies we could remedy with our wealth of draft picks.

Why else have them? To trade for 2035 picks?

I’m not saying I agree with it but I don’t see BWright/MATFO aggressively trying to upgrade. Idk if getting a legit 4 will help this year much if Wemby keeps getting treated like hes 50 years old, Castle and Harper are figured out by the league and Fox continues being content with collecting his paycheck.

 

[Rafa]

What for? Effort has nothing to do with our shooting issues.
Castle and Harper showed up after their recent struggles, we're playing the best team in the league and can't make a 3pt.

I just refuse to believe everyone in the team forgot how to shoot overnight after Xmas, or that the start of the season was just completely a fluke. Surely some of it has to be mental. We aren’t gonna go anywhere shooting in the 20s from distance so I’m willing to try anything lol

You think Fraud Mitch has the guts to take the fine, or whatever they’re threatening now, for resting players like Pop? That he could send Wemby, Barns, and Devin Home, maybe Castle back home on a plane. Although Stephon needed the reps.

These fucking natives are dirty as fuck

 

[ace3g]

Now they call tripping...

 

[Correct Crusader]

So how is castle falling to the ground a foul but Shai wrapping wemby on the floor not a call

 

[Ni-G]

sga can castle can't...

 

[ginobilized]

I like Mitch letting this group dig in together

I hear you but no, they need to play every game they are able to.

 

[SanAnSpursFan21]

Castle is incidentally thrown to the ground by momentum and HE’s the one getting called for the foul? Did I hear that right?

 

[LeBowen]

There's obviously something wrong with 3pt shooting, but it can't be attributed to effort since everyone is obviously trying their best tonight.
The only major difference between this and the previous OKC games is that we can't make 3pt shots.

 

[e78]

Literally same thing that happened with Shai but that's now a foul. Laughable

 

[tearsofmorningdew]

if bulls and pelicans can get a w…

 

[Robz4000]

Had we won in MIN it would have definitely been a viable move

Would've done it regardless; keep the head games going tbh.

 

[scott]

Pull the plug, this game is getting too chippy to have Dadd Longlegs out there. Too many scares already today

 

[Snake Eyes]

Friggin Castle got mugged twice.

I would bring in Sohan, and layout Chet or somebody on a screen. Play a little 80s basketball here.

 

[Dbreiden83080]

Fox just 7 shots.

 

[Ni-G]

I was wrong, it's not flopping and 3 chuicking that kills NBA, Refs do with inconsistent calls.

 

[Correct Crusader]

hell no. To the end

 

[scott]

On the bright side… Fox has played better this half

 

[The Ballsbreakers]

Vic will be diagnosed with something something after this game and will miss the next 10 for rest.

 

[ChrisC21209]

Yeah time to empty the bench. The damn Thunder are starting to play a little dirty you can see it…
