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

[OK Computer]

These small lineups are awful. A third center (a true one) is becoming more essential. I might just jump on the “draft Aday Mara” train.

 

[Correct Crusader]

This game is over. Not worth developing a new scheme & don't have the roster to combat the deficiencies of both our bigs being out.

 

[$pursDynasty]

Are Plumlee, Biyombo and Olynyk completely useless???

 

[Dyoung13]

This is a very pathetic effort defensively. Guess it goes to show how good wemby and Kornet are on that end

 

[NotRobDiaz21]

Denver licking their chops. Got them in 5 in the 2nd round tbh

 

[Mugen]

This deserves this loss and the resulting fallout in the playoffs tbh.

The way they approached this game was really disappointing.

I was fine with playing Denver in the 2nd round but now they’re absolutely in their heads.

 

[BatManu20]

That’s game.

 

[Uriel]

If we go on to lose to DEN in the second round, this game will haunt us.

 

[wemvp]

It's done. On to the playoffs, hope Harper is ok.

Great season, most fun regular season in a long long time.

 

[scott]

Shut it down, Mitch. Whether or not the Spurs (organization) wanted to win this one, the Spurs (players) clearly didn’t care by their effort level tonight.

 

[DAF86]

What a choke to end the season. It's not the end of the World but we missed a huge oportunity to a free WCF appearance, tbh. Welp, we'll need to sweat for it. It sucks OKC gets the breeze instead though.

 

[Robz4000]

I think this is a fair point, but the counter point is that if they really cared about winning it they would have played a center.

Absolute disaster-class coaching by Mitch. Either play everyone or rest players. Instead we get the worst of both worlds and gotta wait to see if Harper will be able to play in the postseason.

 

[JBAllDay]

Such a bad loss. Probably the worst of the season, especially given the stakes

 

[spursistan]

Mitch overplayed his hand sitting both Wemby & Kornet for this game. The loss itself is no big deal but I'm afraid Denver has us on a mental vise grip now.

 

[Mugen]

Harper with a ln injury as well. Thats the nail in the coffin tbh.

 

[Snake Eyes]

Very poor play in a game they obviously wanted to win. Definitely disappointing.

 

[Wemby_Island]

I think its a tall order for us to win against nuggets in 2nd round.

This team is aint built for it yet.

Let us be the underdogs, tbh… it’s a role Wemby seems to embrace.

 

[SpursFan86]

Welp tonight ended up going about as poorly as anyone could’ve realistically imagined. Harper injury just adds insult to injury.

 

[NASpurs]

I'm just glad I don't have to watch this fucking Taco Palenque commercial anymore.

 

[Rafa]

I think this is a fair point, but the counter point is that if they really cared about winning it they would have played a center.

Somehow picked the worst of all worlds… played the key rotational players significant minutes, got one injured TBD how badly, didn’t play any bigs, got clowned by the G league nuggets, lost the game, got a horrible playoff path lined up.

Rough night lol

 

[Raven_]

mitch is a bum tbh... like why bench kornet and wemby and not just everyone or nobody

 

[tearsofmorningdew]

fox spent all that time getting harper comfortable and now harper's probably out for a significant amount of time. can the 60 million dollar man do what he hasn't done all year in his second playoff run? probably not and I can't wait to say I told you so

 

[100%Duncan]

Plumlee, Biyombo, Olynyk. I mean cmon man

 

[Wemby_Island]

I dont know why the heck they benched both Kornet and Wemby.

Dude you are going to get a week off. This is your most important game if you want to win.
