Game Thread Spurs (62-19) vs Nuggets (53-28) (Sunday 4/12/26) [7:30PM CDT]

I think Castle has some of that Dejounte-itis on defense where he gambles a lot and looks really good because Wemby is there to save his ass

pretty much

 

[MannyIG]

I"ll give you guys that I'm surprised Mitch still has rotation players in.

 

[Dbreiden83080]

Lakers did their job that’s for sure. We didn’t show up.

 

[poopbox]

I mean people complaining about the defense...what did you think was going to happen with no luke and no wemby

That's 48 minutes of a 3rd and 4th string center. Denver tried to tank this game but even they aren't willing to do that

 

[Raven_]

I mean, he is the DPOY for years to come

The defensive sets don't work the same when you're funneling players to Bumlee and Nutsack Biyombo.

we are the 4th D in the league despite the best defender in history

The same people who want Wemby to win MVP don't understand why we might not be able to beat Denver without him.

Really sucks that we’re going into the playoffs on an 82 game loss streak. Don’t know why you are just brushing this off

I hate losing and will be just as upset if the Spurs lose in the playoffs. But at the end of the day, it’s still just a basketball game. We will all survive. I’m not gonna lose my shit over what some nerdy twitter civilians say about our players or team lol.

This isn’t Denver tbh

 

[Robz4000]

If the Spurs didn't care about this game none of the regular rotation would be in still tbh.

 

[spursistan]

Just hope the Wolves upset them. I don't want any part of Denver. Just seems like our guys lost belief against them or something

 

[wemvp]

RIGHT. Finals odds are low either way, so the difference isn't overall meaningful. Thats literally what I've posted several times in this thread.

Between Denver, OKC, and SA I think the WCF odds are best for the team that doesn't have to play one of the other 2 in the 2nd round. Once this team gets to the WCF it's house money and valuable experience.

But yeah, overall title odds dont change a whole lot with the 2nd round matchup because it's such a long shot to begin with.

i still expect us to win tbh... just too much talent difference, but the d is goddamn embarassing

 

[Kick-Stand]

Game's already over; Spurs lost by Lawler's Law.

 

[ace3g]

Back to 11...

You're downplaying the Spurs being only one game over 500 over the last week of of the season, Scott. REEL CLASSEY.

They're not winning this game.

 

[Arguendo]

Defense is simply nonexistent without Wemby tbh. That's the difference.

Scary, rude awakening. Joker plays 18 minutes, they sit their next 6 rotation players. We play everyone else the a typical amount and can't get close through 37 minutes.

 

[tearsofmorningdew]

Thanks Fox

 

[Tom-Tom82]

We can't win for losing tonight.

 

[Correct Crusader]

Our vets are the ones playing the worst. Annoying.

 

[ace3g]

oh shit...

[100%Duncan]

Swipa sure does get swiped on a lot
