Game Thread Spurs (48-17) vs Nuggets (40-26) (Thu 3/12/2026) [8:00PM CDT]

[scott]

0-1 since @spurraider21 pointed out he predicted 5-5 and we were 5-0, tbqh

 

[John B]

The big lead early had the team relaxed at the 2nd half.

 

[Blizzardwizard]

Kornet is such trash, playing like a fourth stringer wtf

cares more about shutting down promotional nights than shutting down opposing centers

 

[NotRobDiaz21]

You guys need to stop being a bunch of ball lickers.

They basically planned to lose this game. How did you think it was going to go without your seven and a half foot defensive anchor not playing. I mean don't blame the other players blame Mitch if you want to blame anyone

Denver was on a back to back, AG out, and we were up 20. Shit loss imo

 

[SpurPadre]

I had to stop watching after the 3rd quarter. What. The. FUCK?!

 

[poopbox]

Not the worst loss but still pretty annoying. Should’ve had this one.

I don't think you can win in todays nba with your starting and backup center combining for 0 points

If Kornet and Plumlee just combine for 8 points we probably win this game

 

[LeBowen]

You're not remembering wrong; Luke was pretty outstanding defensively until the last couple of weeks. He definitely doesn't look right, wonder if it's fatigue from a long season or if he has some nagging injury.

On his current level he's not that much more useful than Olynyk on Plumlee.
Just rest him and hope he can get back to his early season level.

I'd say play him on Saturday against the Hornets and don't even take him to that Clippers/Kings short road trip.
Maybe even have him skip Suns/Pacers after that.

 

[Robz4000]

Need to win the next matchup in Denver imo, especially considering Denver is likely to be the Spurs' second round opponent if they get that far.

No Victor trumps all of that. There are still one of the best teams in the west and they still have Murray and Joker

 

[Mugen]

NGL, i kinda feel better about them after this game despite the choke and the L tbh.

 

[KDKSpurs24]

It is what it is. I’m not bothered by this loss at all. I know what we are capable of at full strength and the team fought hard tonight for the most part. On to the next game

 

[Robz4000]

0-1 since @spurraider21 pointed out he predicted 5-5 and we were 5-0, tbqh

So blame Mitch and @spurraider21 for this L, got it.

 

[Wemby_Island]

I want to see Plumlee more. Atleast he set up nice picks and had couple of block on steals near rim.

Kornet is not making any plays at all man. It looks like he is just hanging out there.

Looks like some injury or something, the reason they got plumlee.

 

[LeBowen]

On the bright side, a reality check here and there is a good thing to keep these young guys level headed.

 

[Robz4000]

NGL, i kinda feel better about them after this game despite the choke and the L tbh.

If Denver was on normal rest or had Gordon out there too I'd agree.

 

[LakerHater]

Had Barnes & keldon in that 4th down the stretch was rough

 

[Kick-Stand]

Man without Wemby this team is so average. Poor coaching also shows up. Wemby covers up a lot.

Without Wemby this team is 10-5 with road wins in Denver and LA. Tonight was a tough loss but this team is anything but average even without Victor.

 

[Wemby_Island]

Without Wemby this team is 10-5 with road wins in Denver and LA. Tonight was a tough loss but this team is anything but average even without Victor.

Well, thats when every team is hush husing…

Not possible post ASG, where every team has upped their game leaps and bounds.

Its not going to happen now.

 

[Mugen]

If Denver was on normal rest or had Gordon out there too I'd agree.

I mean we were missing our MVP candidate tbh

 

[timtonymanu]

On the bright side, a reality check here and there is a good thing to keep these young guys level headed.

We lost like 4 straight against the Hornets. I want our guys extra focused on ending that losing streak against them after tonight’s loss.

 

[Wemby_Island]

Even today after our big 1st Q, they came below 10 points multiple times. Our O is red hot and able to take back the lead in 3rd Q.

O is not a problem with out Wemby, we can score

D is a giant problem.

 

[Correct Crusader]

We shot 40% from three and still lost, first time of the season.

Just in-case you thought Wemby wasn't all that important.

 

[Spursgenius]

Carter Bryant needed to play more in second half. Especially in small ball lineup with no rim protector. Stitch Johnson has no feel
For the game.

 

[Kick-Stand]

So blame Mitch and @spurraider21 for this L, got it.

@spurraider21 needs to get the boy prepped to beat Sigrun to redeem his iniquity

 

[Trifecta]

We lost like 4 straight against the Hornets. I want our guys extra focused on ending that losing streak against them after tonight’s loss.

Yes - I want the Spurs to win that game as much as much as any other on this homestand.
