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

[frenchfred]

If your team can't beat the fucking Nuggets, then you're not a champion. Simple as that.

Imagine losers who think they're champions while trying to avoid playing a specific team.

because that never happened before . Imagine knowing that you can beat some teams more easily than others and being too stupid not to take advantage of that

I don’t understand how it’s “wrist cutting” to be seriously annoyed/frustrated about potentially losing by 20+ at home to Denver’s 3rd stringers…and simultaneously giving OKC a free trip to the WCF while making our path more difficult.

Like obviously this game isn’t make or break for the season, but it’s a pretty big swing for the postseason. Seems pretty normal that people would be pissed off

i also hate ending the season on a loss.

But the story is that Denver has 33 rebs, 13Orebs, 6FTA. Ending possessions and dominating 2nd chance and freebies

 

[LeBowen]

They're proven.

Really?
Whatever, this is the most obvious "I told you so" moment that's going to be talked about for years.

 

[Rafa]

Then you should had been trying to get that first seed instead of fucking around early in the season. Now you want the easier path but you gave up some winnable games early on.

Well I’m not gonna argue against that lol we had a lot of dumb losses, including a very winnable one against Denver few games ago that wouldn’t prevented all that.

But now we have one more really good shot at getting the ideal scenario and we should be doing all we can to make it happen tbh

With Wemby banged up, this was always going to be the deal tonight. From a matchup standpoint, not having him and Kornett just kills us.

This is an embarrassment. Will be hard to come back from a deficit this large. We look horrible. Very soon we will be facing this team in the second round. Who thought this was great idea? Mitch?

Really? This is mitch’s fault?

Lots of scared bitch talk tbh.

 

[Mugen]

With who we have sitting out, we don’t have the bodies to rebound against them.

Gotta gang rebound tbh

Are you missing the people saying this game IS make or break for the season? Because if you aren't, then why are we discussing the first part of your post?

 

[frenchfred]

Because some posters here acting like they just want the nuggets to be in okc bracket so that okc doesnt have a cakewalk path to wcf. But the reality is they just want yo avoid the nuggets in round 2.

I have no problem to admit that I want to avoid Denver in the second round to maximize our chances of winning the championship.

 

[Mugen]

nice little bit of adversity before the playoffs tbh. Let’s see how they respond.

 

[Amuseddaysleeper]

Denver could beat us in 6

 

[Weeks]

Lots of scared bitch talk tbh.

we haven't shown any reason to be cocky about beating denver so far

 

[wemvp]

Would be nice if we could try to defend in the 2nd half and rebound tbh.

They were defending Jokic with either washed up dudes or dudes who are like 6'6". Nobwonder he went off like he's practicing against scrubs.

Wemby and Kornet are the most important players on the team, without both this team has nothing inside.

 

[Dbreiden83080]

Denver could beat us in 6

Of course they could. I’m not gonna throw myself off a cliff if we lose this game and play them in round two. We have Home court, and in my opinion the best player in the NBA right now is sitting in street clothes.

Its not. This was a big game and Vic had a bruise he played through the night it happen and 2 nights ago. 5-6 full days rest before the next game. There was no good reason to sit him. Hopefully it won't bite them in the ass, but it probably will.

 

[timtonymanu]

You guys are totally forgetting that Minny could still beat Denver. They’ve done it before.

 

[frenchfred]

but we should have the guards to beat their bench

I 100% agree with sitting him. He gets that rib all banged up tonight and that could be the killer for us in the playoffs.

@scott we're gonna need you to post the suicide prevention hotline number in game threads

If we can get some banner ads going for the Suicide Hotline, @Guru of Nothing @Rafa and I can be rich AF

I agree they have players coming off their bench that are just shooting the lights out.

 

[PokerFace21]

Is there gonna be a comeback or what? The Nugz have made all the good chess moves so far.

the Spurs are 62-19, what are you talking about

 

[Dbreiden83080]

And while I am pissed off, we are losing this bad. with the best player sitting in street clothes. I’m not getting into this mindset that there’s no chance we can beat this team in the playoffs.
