Game Thread Spurs (28-13) vs Timberwolves (27-14) (Sat 1/17/26) [7:00 PM CDT]

[Wemby_Island]

Wemby made lot of clutch shots
+
2 clutch rebounds.

superb game from him.

 

[timtonymanu]

Id rate us above Rockets.

Okc

Nuggets/Minny

I just need to see how we do in a playoff series, that's why I'm setting the bar kind of low.

 

[Correct Crusader]

It's a great development opportunity for everyone, regardless of the outcome of the series. We're not winning this year, gotta learn from it.

I think we could. I think we're one move away.

 

[100%Duncan]

I love his game too, but I just hate his personality. Only time I really enjoyed it was when he swept the Durant Suns and beat the Lakers last year lol.

Better than Luka’s personality imho. That dude just bitches and bitches —On the topic of superstar guards…

 

[Wemby_Island]

When Wemby is going from 3’d against tough teams,

Mitch has to keep it goinggg…. Dont try to be cute.

 

[timtonymanu]

Better than Luka’s personality imho. That dude just bitches and bitches —On the topic of superstar guards…

Oh yeah fuck Luka too. But even if I hate Edwards, I would take him a trade tomorrow for Castle and Harper.

 

[O_V]

Spurs won

Lol ESPN showed in the play by play that Edwards made an 85 foot shot, a 26 foot shot and another basket within about six seconds.

 

[100%Duncan]

Oh yeah fuck Luka too. But even if I hate Edwards, I would take him a trade tomorrow for Castle and Harper.

Yup. I brought this up in the guard trio thread around when we beat OKC the third time, so we were on a high even when I asked that. All the more now tbh.

 

[O_V]

Im having a hard time hating on Ant tbh (outside of Spurs games ofc), that jumper is so pretty to watch.

A couple of years ago it looked like he had made the leap toward all-timer territory and then he suddenly looked like he took a break from it. He's really really good when he's on.

 

[Robz4000]

He was questionable, obviously sick and probably wouldn't have played if it was an easier matchup.
9 assists and 2 turnovers was solid enough.
Both his makes were from 3pt, 0-4 2pt FG.

Thought he played good D too, just got fucked by the refs.

 

[SanAnSpursFan21]

My wife of 9 years has just gotten into watching games with me this season and I had to explain to her the paradox of fandom that not every win feels good lol

 

[Spurs Homer]

Why the fuck dont that scrub diven-fucko and ant and all them cucks ever play this way against okc?

Fuck they just roll over and dont even put the warriors in front of these scrubs cause they will just bend over and take abuse from dirty draymond…

But they act like dream teamers against the spurs…

Has been to 2 WCFs as clear top dog. I’d say that’s pretty good imo

 

[timtonymanu]

I think it was @LeBowen that said Edwards is better than Luka and I agree.

Jokic, SGA, Edwards is the top 3. Of course they all play in the West.

Speak for yourself buddy….
Every spurs win feels good to me…

 

[STAT88]

Minny is on the DEN tier of contenders right now.

Thunder
Nuggets/Timberwolves
Spurs/Rockets/Suns
L kers

Have to agree with this rn.

I like the Rockets and Lakers matchup for the spurs in the playoffs. Lakers 23rd in 3 point makes and Rockets 25th. Mitigates the Spurs biggest weakness on defense which is guarding the 3 and low IQ off ball/switching defense from almost the entire team especially Barnes, Fox, Castle.

Nuggets, Wolves, Suns can beat the Spurs from 3 and of course Jokic can do it anywhere.

Thunder matchup is not a bad one for the Spurs but they’re just in a tier of their own because of how dominant they’ve been.

Warriors are on a bit of a heater lately and I could see them giving the Spurs lots of problems with their experience and 3 point shooting.

 

[100%Duncan]

Special shoutouts to Divincenzo for hitting those 2 huge 3s at the end there. That fuck always kills us. Punchable face looking fuck.

I always like Wolves.. Edwards is sensational.. and Randle is an easy upgrade over the emo Kat-Town

That’s the work of a high quality clanker right there

 

[Arcadian]

That play with multiple passes leading to Keldon's dagger 3 was some Beautiful Game shit.

Ok

Par for the course. There’s always only 1 East player that’s in the top5 except maybe during the early year.

 

[Spurs Homer]

I think edwards big game will be the story - and understandably so…

But im giving props to victor here- i think he willed this win- warts and all- he just carried his team to a win and ill take a win over a gazillion points any day…

Victor got mauled most of the game and these shitty refs allowed it…yet vic gave them all the finger by never giving up

he's not a guard

He’s up there in the most punchable faces in the league.

Divincenzo
Podziemski
Draymond
Gary Payton
Steve Kerr

Sorry I couldn’t get past the warriors before filling out my top 5.
