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

[tearsofmorningdew]

Stephon Castle on Cade was UNBELIEVABLE.

Had him in hell lmao

 

[plateado]

K Incredible victory. Yes, Vassell and the game of his life. Victor was incredible, but we won the game when Bryant came in and got his hands dirty, bringing obscene physicality. He fought fire with fire.

 

[Wemby_Island]

I fuxking want some one to do a video of how many pistons positions Wemby has altered today with his D.

Its unbelievable…..

 

[Floyd Pac]

Vassell put our boys over the top tonight. He should’ve touched the ball every possession in the 4th the way he was shooting

I think @Robz4000 can finally stop worrying about us making the top6.

Robz's anti-jinx is vital and we must never dissuade him.

Robz AKA "Spurs are dropping to the play-in" gotta come here and eat some crow with a smile on his face, tbh

Had a nice timely 3 as well.

Just what we need… Julian was very good at boards and 3’s…

Hoping Vecenie and Brice go live tonight to discuss this game, because I think the narrative may indeed begin

They usually are all over Detroit & not really acknowledging the Spurs much at all. Looks forced when they do.

No fucking chance whatsoever.

 

[brazil]

Also important is the confirmation keldon will wear the enforcer cape that a PO team needs.

 

[Biggems]

Blocks

Spurs 11
Pistons 8

 

[couchman]

After tonight I’m 100% convinced that we are legit tile contenders and everyone else should be too. That was a playoff type of game and our guys stayed focused and tough and took it to Detroit, a lovely city.

 

[Sugus]

Speaking of which, did Bryant get injured or something? He was playing some great minutes but never saw the court after those 3 fouls - he's exactly the player we need to face these kind of physical teams

He sure played like he was on the deaf squad tonight lmao

 

[TDomination]

Idk homie, Vassell draining 3s like a video game Def helped

That’s true he did shoot very well but it wasn’t something absolutely crazy. I guess meaning spurs as a team shooting like over 50% for the game or somebody going off for 40.

And typically it seems like someone is always stepping up. If not Wemby then vassell or fox or castle or Harper or even KJ.

 

[Snake Eyes]

Obviously, the W was incredible. I think I’m most impressed the Spurs did not back down when the physicality the Pistons imposed in the 1st half. They kept their game plan and took care of business. This is what the playoffs will be like for Victor. His D will be huge in the playoffs.

 

[Rafa]

Man that first OKC game was a pretty dang good win....tie maybe?

Nothing will beat that hype. We still didn’t know who we were back then or what we were capable of, and OKC had buzz around having the best record of all time and on an insane run. It was also the NBA Cup which does mean a bit more

Beating them was glorious

I'm surprised peacock didn't drop this Rockets/Jazz game for a pickleball tournament.

Injuries definitely played a part of their struggles in the last 25 games, but I think SA put a little bit of a doubt in their minds.

 

[Dbreiden83080]

49 pages and counting nothing like a big game to fire up a game thread.

 

[ulosturedge]

Fox was lack luster but it didn't matter. This Team is deep.

Did he play after he didn’t warn Wemby that Cade was coming from behind off the corner for the steal?

 

[OK Computer]

Fox was lack luster but it didn't matter. This Team is deep.

This should be the motto for the next 10 years if MATFO play their cards right. Don’t change the roster strategy or deviate too much from what they’ve done. They built this team the right way. Only upgrade existing parts when necessary.

 

[Correct Crusader]

Spurs are 10-2 since Vassell returned btw

 

[CGD]

Fox was lack luster but it didn't matter. This Team is deep.

He was key in getting Cade in foul trouble, which was great.
