Game Thread Spurs (56-18) vs Bulls (29-45) (Mon 3/30/2026) [7:00PM CDT]

[Fireball]

OKC is rolling again now so that #1 spot is not realistic. And looking at the first playoffs of this team I would rather play the Clips and the Lakers and getting to the conference finals in the first try would be an absolute awesome achievement for this group. I know everybody is hyped and we got OKCs number but I doubt that our guys are ready for that task already - HCA or not.

So just keep it rolling and stay healthy!

This will be our last "easy" game before our tough upcoming road trip:

- @ Golden State (with Curry potentially set to return against us [of course])
- @ the Clippers (who always seem to give us trouble) on the second leg of a b2b
- @ the Nuggets on a Saturday afternoon, which will likely have a Playoff atmosphere to it,

theyre on the road so ill grant that

but GSW is not playing particularly well now, and Moody played very well against us in 2 of the 3 games so far, including the most recent one. they're not really a concern.

clippers on a segababa... yeah that can go either way as they're at full strength now. but if we are scared of the clippers, nobody should be excited for the playoffs if thats the bar

@ denver is going to rough. 3rd game in 4 nights and denver is clawing for home court in round 1

The latest news I read about Curry didn't make it sound like he was really close to returning to action yet. Without him and given all the other injuries GS is dealing with, the Spurs would basically have to beat themselves against them.

Just getting a shot at them is all I want. Anything can happen, but the Spurs gotta get there first to at least give themselves a chance.

I don't know, but I think you're going to see the Spurs crank it up in the playoffs. I don't know what you guys think about that, I think they're going to go up even another level in the playoffs. I feel they've got yet another gear they can hit, and I think they will crank it up even more in the playoffs.

Winning a championship is so hard and timing is everything. In past years, it would be a much easier path to the NBA finals. But the re-rise of the Spurs happens to coincide with the rise of the Thunder, being potentially one of the best teams in recent memory. The vibes are a little bit like the Lakers 2000-2003 with Tim Duncan in his prime. It’s getting there.

I would say tonight’s OKC/DET game will be a bellwether of the WC race. If Detroit beats them, it’s on. If they don’t, we can probably start resting guys. Even though they don’t have Cade, it’s quite possible, CHI was right in the thick of it until they realized they were in danger of a win, and dumped the game. Detroit, even without Cade, is a better team than CHI.
