Game Thread Spurs (40-16) @ Pistons (42-13) (Mon 02/23/26) [6:00 PM CST] on Peacock

[The Ballsbreakers]

Vic with a team-high +18.
Even when he's looking like shit he's still dominating.

 

[tearsofmorningdew]

See how far physicality gets you. Fuck you Detroit

Reminiscent of that grit n grind grizzlies team in more ways than one. Hope these guys never win shit just like those grizzlies teams

Still remember Tony Allen 2013 rolling around on the floor faking a seizure flopping against us.

 

[Uriel]

Wow. We're really, really good.

 

[frenchfred]

Wemby struggling but still with 13 boards and 4 blocks so far

 

[ginobilized]

Vassell looks close enough to prime Middleton tonight, I think we are good with that archetype

 

[Splits]

Wemby just blowing shit up in 90 seconds

 

[Kick-Stand]

Wow Cunningham just reached on Steph's drive there. WTF was he thinking? Spurs gotta attack that matchup if he's gonna make dumb moves like that.

 

[thiste]

Still a lot of time, this lead means nothing.

 

[Dbreiden83080]

These physical defenses don't phase us. OKC & DET. Fuck you!

Easy there big fella lol.

 

[Wemby_Island]

Wembyyyy D is GOD level

Never seen anything like that.. WTF really

 

[OK Computer]

These physical defenses don't phase us. OKC & DET. Fuck you!

All credit goes to the coaching staff

 

[Sugus]

FOOT ON THE PEDAL CMON !!!!!!!

 

[kjhip1]

no way Cade is aggressive, whether on offense or defense for the rest of the game...whomever he guards needs to be the one to attack or at least get him in a pick and roll

Exactly communicate, keep that energy up.

 

[spursfanfromafar]

Defense, baby. Used to define how the Spurs dynasty won and it is defining them now. Took a lot of beating from the Pistons and are now punching their mouths. Great team effort.

 

[Correct Crusader]

Vic with a team-high +18.

He's the greatest defensive player of all time.

 

[The Ballsbreakers]

Fuck your physicality.

 

[spurraider21]

this is what i was hoping he was trending toward after year 3 when he earned that big extension. he's not as good on-ball is Middleton was though

Wow Cunningham just reached on Steph's drive there. WTF was he thinking? Spurs gotta attack that matchup if he's gonna make dumb moves like that.

We gotta attack Cade EVERY POSSESSION.

MVP kind of showing tonight tbh. Defense is half the game and he's on another level

[spurraider21]

wemby heard he had never blocked a shot against detroit and has taken that shit very personally

 

[100%Duncan]

Thats fine, bound to happen

 

[Kick-Stand]

no way Cade is aggressive, whether on offense or defense for the rest of the game...whomever he guards needs to be the one to attack or at least get him in a pick and roll

Did you not just see him reach at Steph on that drive? Hope the Spurs attack him more if he's going to make risky moves like that with 5 fouls.

 

[Ni-G]

No matter how soft Vic looks on offense sometimes he's a fuckin beast on defense.

Even on bad nights he's at least Mutombo 2.0+
