Game Thread Spurs (44-17) vs Pistons (45-15) (Thu 03/05/26) [7:00 PM CST]

Is Nephew playing or out for the season?

I don’t see him on the injured list right now

Should the Spurs play this strategically, lower OKC’s chances of getting a higher pick than ours if they let the Clippers win?

I don't mind as it would be better to be in the 2nd/3rd seed bracket

This was one of our most convincing wins of the season tbh.

Pistons came in looking for vengeance, but the Spurs were totally prepared for them - we played Castle, Harper and Wemby very differently than we usually do and the effect was immediate. Great to see not only the players adjusting to different schemes, but our coaches being able to develop such a game plan. Cade had another terrible game, Duren was much less impactful on both ends than last game - and we were able to generate a ton of quality looks, which didn't happen against the Knicks.

Just great to see that Fox can really up the scoring when the situation calls for it. @scott knows I've been on his ass for this a lot lately and it's very good to see him break out of it. Still hasn't ever seen an early shot clock 3 he didn't like though

Spurs beat the #1 Seed on the East 2-0.... AND beat the #1 Seed in the West 4 out of 5 times. We cooking

Favorite part was Wemby able to play heavy minutes. Hopefully can reproduce tomorrow, at least above 34 min

So... we swept the almighty Detroit Pistons this season. And there are still people putting Cade over Wemby in the MVP race

 

[Hyrup]

38 points
16 rebounds
5 blocks

0 turnovers

 

[Robz4000]

No longer worried about any team below us; they are not catching us unless Wemby is out for the season.

Spurs still have six more games in a row like this tbh. Need to go 3-3 at least imo.

 

[100%Duncan]

Damn we’re 6-1 vs #1 seeds. What a time to be a Spurm

 

[scott]

Wemby didn’t get to 40 points… he’ll never be an MVP

Great win. Didn’t participate in the game thread and that was awesome. How much wrist slitting did I miss?

 

[Mugen]

Steph guarding you with Wemby lurking to help contest must be an absolute nightmare tbh

 

[BatManu20]

Monster game from Wemby tonight.

it was more of a hating on women kind of night than a wrist slitting one, tbh

Good. I wanna see that wuss reporting for beatdown

Most of us were pissed when the Pistons cut it to 8 but never felt like the Spurs were gonna lose tbh. Refs caused a lot of grief until they stopped mucking up the game in the fourth.

Might be our youngest member, tbh.

You will still be alive when the Spurs finally pick that 21031 FRP

Damn you were 12 years old when we won last

 

[LeBowen]

CB didn't make any 3s, but he also didn't look out of place, which is really imporant.
I tuned into the broadcast at the tip-off and completely forgot about Barnes until the half was almost over.

As @LeBowen kept pointing out, these thugs never had the firepower tbh.


I’d have been more scared if it was Charlotte.

His block in the fourth was arguably the most important play of the game imo.

If we're playing well, the only way to beat us is from 3pt.
Teams that rely on scoring in the paint have no chance.
