Game Thread Spurs (33-16) vs Thunder (40-11) (Wed 2/04/26) [8:30 PM CST]

[Sugus]

This is a game that both teams have marked on their calendars. Sure to be a grind - hopefully we get the Good Spurs to come out and play.

Can't see how Wemby performs, he's either dropping 14 or 40, no inbetween

 

[Corso]

Ex gonna give it to ya

(Gonna make this joke again, because I don't remember which thread I put it in before)

This game against OKC might be tough, since we usually struggle against inferior teams

 

[Wemby_Island]

We got this.

We will have 2 days rest.

Wemby needs to be smart and learn to get into sweet spots. Sky will be limit.

"If both Vic and Matty were on my team at the same time - Matty would be guarding Dirk - no one defended Dirk better!"

OKC has been down to one ball handler lately with JDub and Mitchell out. Would be nice to just have Castle focus on defending SGA and let Fox/Harper have all the PG minutes tbh.

 

[Mugen]

Cason Wallace and Isiah Joe were the Nugget killers last game tbh.

As long as Castle/Fox/Wemby aren't turning the rock over and over, Spurs should win IMO.

 

[OK Computer]

Damn this feels like our tenth game against them

OKC match-up far better with Denver than against us. That is much clear, tbh . Nuggets have no chance without Gordon, and even then they would still be underdogs. Not buying it's toss up series between the two as for now..

Denver took them to 7 with a far inferior roster last season tbh. Playoffs are a different animal.

Felt like they were far more dominant in their wins while choking Game 1 in the process.

Whether you win by 1 or 40 in the postseason, a win is a win tbh.

Denver is the only team I'd actively try to avoid in the playoffs.
44-44-40-43-40-43
You know what are those numbers? 3pt% of their 6 leading scorers. With every one taking at least 4 per game.
We'd get ran out of the building in at least a couple of games even with great defense.
And Gordon would absolutely murder whoever we throw at him.

As long as the Spurs make it I'm good tbh. A series against Denver or OKC would be a great learning experience for this team.

My bad, I forgot about your doomerism.

The Thunder had a 9.1 point differential in the series. Yes, the Nuggets came in fatigued from going 7 with the Clippers and had Gordon and Porter Jr. playing injured, but the Thunder also hadn't gotten over the hump yet. If you watched the series, you know that played a part in stretching it.

With Williams' wrist wrecking his shot for the season and Watson's emergence, the Nuggets are the only team with a decent shot at beating the Thunder, but they're still clear underdogs.

 

[Robz4000]

Denver would be the Spurs' toughest matchup in a series followed by OKC and Minny tbh. Gotta see what happens after the dust settles from the trade deadline to really go in depth imo.

Suns sweep us with Dillon Brooks leaving shit-splatter all over the visiting locker room walls to leave us something to think about all offseason

Sounds like something he'd do. Looks like he been a role model for his old team and the Magic, 'play as dirty as you can.' As Wemby said, 'they didn't come to play basketball.' Football perhaps?

To be fair Wemby wakes up if others are physical with him.

Otherwise he’s sleepwalking out there
