Game Thread Spurs (58-18) @ Clippers (39-37) (Thur 4/2/2026) [9:30PM CDT]

[Trifecta]

Vassell and Champ will need to lock in offensively tonight

Harper will need to try to slow down Garland

Mitch needs to watch the sub once Wemby comes out as the clips will attack the basket a lot, so plum or Kornet will have to play smart.

People in this thread shaking in their boots about Nephew. C'mon folks, have a little more faith.

No doubt it will be a battle tonight. I’m looking forward to it as the Spurs get to play a relatively healthy team tonight.

A relatively healthy team with something left to play for.

All of these wins are great for fluffing up the record, but the teams they have been playing are mostly looking forward to the summer already. Don't want guys getting complacent or feeling unbeatable, playoffs gonna be a different beast.

Hoping Champ has a nice bounce-back game for us today. He went 5/15 last night, including 4/13 from 3 (31%). Nothing egregious, but he's definitely a better shooter than that as we know.

Crazy that this group is doing stuff never done before as competitive as the Spurs were from '98-'18.

Everyone just keep attacking garland. Castle keep forcing Garland to turn it over.

I expect the Spurs to win, but they need to be on top of their game for 48 mins. This is a good test for them to stay focused. Spurs by 6pts. GSG!

 

[Arcadian]

Ultimately the Clippers and Suns will face each other for the honor of drawing the Spurs in round 1. So we will get the better of the two.

Actually, we could also potentially play the Blazers.
They're half a game behind the Clippers and they still play each other in Portland.

Clippers: SAS, @SAC, DAL, OKC, @POR, GSW.
Blazers: NOP, @DEN, @SAS, LAC, SAC.

Blazers should beat NOP and SAC and if they beat the Clippers they'll be at 42 wins.
If that happens, Clippers probably need 4-1 in their other 5 games and if we beat them tonight, that's not likely to happen.
We could even fuck the Clippers over by tanking the game against the Blazers if we can't get the 1st seed.

 

[BatManu20]

First time this season the Spurs will face the Clips with all 3 of nephew, Darius Garland, and John Collins playing in the same game too.

Should have won player of the month too but Luka's been crying too much lately

Great compilation. It'll be interesting to see how opposing defenses scheme against this in the playoffs. I assume the remedy is to double Wemby, rush him, and/or deny him the ball, because as soon as he catches that ball anywhere within 12 feet of the basket, it's over.

Idk Luka has been sensational, dragging that trash-ass Lakers team to the 3 seed almost single-handedly. I don't think it's a stretch to give him player of the month.

 

[Mugen]

Doncic has been great tbh

What a fucking crock of shit. It’s obvious this team doesn’t care about seeding or wemby’s post season awards.

Say goodbye to the MVP he cares so deeply about .
