Game Thread Spurs (59-18) @ Nuggets (49-28) (Sat 4/4/2026) [2:00PM CDT]

More Harper, less Fox.


Fox should be a prime trade target after Denver beats us out in the 2nd round this year because the Lakers aren't winning another game with their 2 best players out.

Nobody's taking on the remaining 4-yrs/$222M on that Max Contract brother . Fox is here to stay for at least a couple more years. Just need him to be better tbh.

Naw, not today. It says something that we lose against the first healthy good team that we play. Spurs aren't as bad as they looked today, but they're not as good as they think they are either. Extremely doubtul they can get past the 2nd round, especially if they face Denver.

it says that the PO won't be a cakewalk. you shouldn't expect only easy victories from our team. even only victories.
Denver is one of the 4 or 5 really true contenders. Losing on their court on OT isn't worrying. It just means we'll have to face great teams and close games, which should be expected.

 

[wEmBoY]

Lol. It's not Vic's fault De'Aaron is a poor three point shooter. This is high stakes games. He has to be able to hit shots. Not fucking airball it.

Anyway, the Spurs won the game but threw it away (snatched defeat from the jaws of victory). Denver sure as fucking didn't win it by outplaying them.

Lmao it wasnt fox fault. Victor held the ball too long and the passed it to a guarded fox with 2 seconds left on shot clock. Thats a hail mary shot lmao

 

[Robz4000]

Now that the 1 seed (and MVP) is officially out of reach it's time to rest players down the stretch. Sit Wemby against Philly, play him against Portland (another potential first round opponent), sit him against Dallas, and play him 15 mins against Denver.

 

[Trifecta]

Yeah, I'm not terribly concerned. Played in Denver, they needed a W, and have a ton of experience the Spurs don't have. It's fine. But holy hell did Fox suck. He's not the one who is supposed to be this bad.

Heck - Mitch could have even had CB in the game for defense on that Fox 4pt play

 

[Spurs Homer]

If castle didnt force Murray to play like shit Denver runs away with this game tbh.

Fify

See how this works?

 

[Dbreiden83080]

When KJ missed that three-point shot, one of many he missed today that would’ve put us up 10, Murray hits that 3 that was really the killer. KJ makes that shot we win today I think.

 

[Millennial_Messiah]

Looks like it’s going to happen. Lakers are all banged up and Denver will get that 3 seed. So it is what it is. We can beat them. I think we will beat them. But it might go the distance.

Denver in four tbh.

 

[cediskace]

two fastbreaks that seemed easy bucked wasted by castle and fox on money time. that's really huge is a close game like this

Just hit the rim and keep the ball live ffs

 

[BatManu20]

This game is not all on Fox btw. Yea he's gonna take the blunt of the blame cause he's our Max player and he was horrible, but Keldon, Castle and Vassell also shot a combined 3/18 from 3 as well on almost all wide open looks. Fox, Keldon, and Steph were 0/16 from 3 by themselves.

Role players have to show up and do their jobs too, and today they didn't do that. Simple as that.

 

[Ice009]

this loss is no big deal in itself: good close game; on the court of a very good team. but we really should hope that Denver stay behind the lakers, and this loss tonight surely doesn't help.

If you want Denver to stay behind the Lakers, Spurs needed to win this game to try and make that happen.

 

[NotRobDiaz21]

You're honestly just a fucking retard.
We have by far the best record when it comes to top4 teams in each conference h2h.

Great analysis, dipshit. How much you wanna bet the Spurs won't get past Denver in the 2nd round?

 

[Mal]

Fox forget its not longer Sacramento in April

 

[kjhip1]

yeah castle had wemby screaming down the court when went at two defenders on fast break. Fox on the missed 5-footer had wemby wide open for 3

 

[ginobilized]

i wouldn't say choke, it was a good game. but 0/16 on threes for fox, castle and keldon didn't help.

KJ missing open 3s, Fox airballing 3 3s, Champ missing two point blank shots, Vassell missing an open alley oop all at critical points in the game? That's textbook choking.

 

[OK Computer]

lmaoooooooooooooo

Y'all are so damn emotional.

A few posters on this site are the bottom guy. It’s pathetic. ^

Well shoot, throw in both the Hawks and Spurs picks plus a player like Bryant, and trade him for a 2028 2nd or something. Fox is worse than worthless

They were in a game till the end against a potential top 3 team in the West (NBA) that was more desperate for a win. I honestly didn't expect us to win that. Sure, we need to get our shit together, but I'm not here for the cliff jumping, ironically and unironically. I just want the playoffs to start so we can see what this team is capable of.

 

[spurs10]

It's also on Mitch, with Fox playing that bad, he should have put Harper in. I feel that Castle and Wemby are ready for the playoffs but Fox doesn't have that mentality.

What I've been saying for 30 minutes. They should offer Fox a free steak dinner in Denver.

That will never happen unless Wemby has an injury. He still wants dpoy

 

[Dbreiden83080]

Denver in four tbh.

Spurs in 6..

 

[Ice009]

So you're boiling it down to one play, yet Fox fucking up numerous times? Are you retarded? Yes, it was a hail mary shot, but good shooters can still hit rim.

 

[LeBowen]

Great analysis, dipshit. How much you wanna bet the Spurs won't get past Denver in the 2nd round?

You're a fucking moron that offers absolutely nothing to this forum, have some self-awareness with the idiotic meltdowns in every single game thread, this isn't Spurstalk anymore.

 

[NotRobDiaz21]

So we let them score 136 again

So much for our "defense".
