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

[spursistan]

I'm not upset about the loss, I'm upset because it likely means we'll be playing the Nuggets in the second round.
I don't think we can beat both the Nuggets and the Thunder in consecutive series.

We gave them way too many free passes by taking 3s instead of attacking the basket.
And while we have to give something up, leaving a man completely wide open in the corner isn't a feasible strategy for the playoffs unless we're talking non-shooters.

Castle, Fox and Keldon shot 0-16 from 3pt.
Keldon was 3-4 from inside the arc, he can't be this passive when it's Jokic that's trying to close him out. That's an easy drive every single time.


Mitch got outcoached at the end where Adelman drew up a perfect play to send it to OT and his best action was to have Wemby run at 3 defenders from the top of the key.

This is feature not a bug. I think he is a terrible out-of-time out guy

Spurs in 6..

They aren't winning in that altitude

 

[NotRobDiaz21]

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.

Cry about it some more. I'll delete my account if the Spurs make it past Denver.

 

[Robz4000]

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

DPOY is locked up tbh, just needs to hit the 65 game minimum.

 

[LeBowen]

Cry about it some more. I'll delete my account if the Spurs make it past Denver.

And nothing of value will be lost.

 

[Bill Brasky]

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

Vaginal post, tbh. Yeah we lost a game we controlled without even playing well. Time to slit our wrists.

 

[wEmBoY]

So you're boiling it down to one play, yet Fox fucking up numerous times? Are you retarded?

Lmao that was 3 attempt with the same play. Wemby held the ball too long and paeed to fox at 3pt line for hail mary. Thats same play happned 3 times

Only fox fault was the missed middy after an offensive rebound of vassel missed alley oop dunk. And also the 4pt play

And also it was victor’s fault i went to OT with his stpid decision to leave gordon wide open for a dunk to tie the game.

 

[Trainwreck2100]

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.

That oop was also on partly on Fox cause that throw was full speed

 

[LeBowen]

This is feature not a bug. I think he is a terrible out-of-time out guy

He's had some fine plays in pressure free scenarios over the past weeks, even today, but late game situations haven't been great.
Especially since we have no real screeners in the starting lineup.

 

[100%Duncan]

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.

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

Steph played a good game except for that turnover late.

 

[John B]

So we let them score 136 again

Denver is 1st on offense rating and playing at home, plus OT score. Spurs played great overall. We don’t win it all.

 

[NotRobDiaz21]

And nothing of value will be lost.

So you gonna bet or not? No faith in the Spurs?

 

[SupremeGuy]

Everyone realizes we weren't going undefeated for the rest of the season and post season, right?

Bad games happen. Even then we probably should have won this game but shit happens.

 

[NotRobDiaz21]

Vaginal post, tbh. Yeah we lost a game we controlled without even playing well. Time to slit our wrists.

RIP

 

[Millennial_Messiah]

That oop was also on partly on Fox cause that throw was full speed

Not to mention Fox missing a wide open chip shot from like 4ft after that loose ball fell in right his hands.

 

[EmanuelDavidGinobili]

If Fox and Keldon have average games we win this game. Could have won it with them having shit games. That’s encouraging atleast. Fox giving up 4 point play was terrible. And also the huge brick he put up towards the end of OT when he got the rebound and panicked and threw it up. But almost every Fox miss was him shooting the ball out of rhythm.

 

[BatManu20]

Steph played a good game except for that turnover late.

Agreed. He and Champ were the only real help Wemby had today. His 3-ball just wasn't falling today unfortunately. Devin started hot and then fell off a cliff and never recovered.

Spurs played great, Wemby was amazing but no support in the clutch

 

[Arcadian]

We lost because of the 4 point play. Up 6 with one minute left, we were in control and just needed to not fuck it up.

 

[LeBowen]

So you gonna bet or not? No faith in the Spurs?

Stop deflecting and missing the point.
It doesn't even matter if we win the championship or get bounced in the first round, the point is that you're bringing down the quality of this forum with your posts that are worse than the worst twitter takes.
Get a fucking grip.

 

[Bones]

Keep the shot live by hitting the rim at least. And Fox fouling the 3 point shooter. He sold, it happens. We saw Manu do it plenty.

Defensive miscues with Jokic too. We’ll be ready for that out of bounds play next time

 

[Trifecta]

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.

Fox’s main game is midrange - not long ball.

 

[SpursFan86]

Gutless worms tbh fwiw?

But seriously, best regular season NBA game I’ve been to. Outcome sucks but we’re fine.

 

[SanAnSpursFan21]

Broadening the scope of the day, our threes weren’t great and neither was our defense

 

[onechance87]

Fake ass shooting from keldon,vassell,fox and castle.When it really mattered they all of a sudden cant make shots.
