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

[spurs10]

Even if we make it to the WCF (far from guaranteed obv), we're going to be facing a well-rested OKC team cause they're about to cake-walk to the Conference Finals now thanks to us.

Oh well. Nothing we can do now. We made our bed, time to lie in it. The Playoffs are officially upon us boys.

This is how I see it. Make unbelievably stupid calls on Game 82 and you are just giving us all a real bad feeling leading up the Playoffs.

3 cracks at 3rd string Center and BWrong pulled a 2022 draft tbh

Traded the second rounder last year and missed out on maxime.

 

[Kick-Stand]

Why the fuck would you want Denver and then OKC in the WCF when you could've played the Lakers or bitch ass Rockets in the 2nd round? Not to mention OKC could very possibly sweep their way to the WCF.

Nah Minnesota was already locked into the 6-seed going into tonight. If the Spurs would have won 3-6 would be Lakers-Wolves and 4-5 Nuggets-Rockets.

At the end of the day, if we are meant to get taught a lesson by Denver, this postseason that’s how it is. It’s all part of the process of this young team trying to learn to be champions.

You don’t build dynasty’s off easy paths. I honestly don’t care who this team faces. They’ve shown resolve up to this point and I hope they earn some battle tested wins this offseason. It’s the only way you can become perpetual winners.

You have to fight the best to be the best.

One lucky season with cupcake match ups is awfully short sighted for a franchise that has its sights set on a dynasty.

Give me the toughest possible matchup in each round, tbh. Let’s go out and earn it. Damn I’m so hyped to see Playoff Wemby.

You're right. I'm heated and not thinking clearly. Not as pissed now but yeah, the loss still sucks tbh.

Nothing else to do now but hype ourselves.







And pray for Dylan’s thumb

 

[Kick-Stand]

Ugh as soon as I saw them force feeding shots to Barnes late in the first I got a bad feeling as they weren't respecting the Nuggets nor the game and it was correct.

 

[Wemby_Island]

Wemby wants this win from Bench more than players who are on court.

Ridiculous ridiculous performance. Team hasn’t looked sharp since that win against Boston.. TBH

 

[spurraider21]

Disaster tbh

Shoulda just played wemby 15/20 minutes in the first half to match joker

Hoping its like Gold Medal Game Wemby x 10

 

[John B]

Losing on the last regular game in front of the home fans will leave a bitter taste in the mouth. Wemby is not happy. I hope the Spurs will use every motivation to take every game seriously. Let’s go!!!!!

 

[NotRobDiaz21]

Is Curry healthy? Hopefully the Dubs can grab the 8th seed and have Dray take out a couple of Thunder players.

 

[Mugen]

Disaster tbh

Big Daddy Val would have just dragged his balls all over the Spurs in the 2nd half tbh

Does seem like more the players doing this than Mitch who left them in the entire game. But yeah thats pretty much when I figured they DGAF.

 

[EmanuelDavidGinobili]

What a shit loss but whatever. If we want to win it all then a nuggets series will prepare us for it.

 

[siraulo22]

got damn that sucked

Denver will be a tough matchup, golden opportunity to push okc and denver on the same side and fked it up

lets hope Minessota somehow upsets Denver

1st rd matchup will not be a cakewalk also for the spurs, they gotta bring it

Just enjoy the ride. A first rd win and a putting up a great fight in the second rd is what im expecting and would be considered a very successful season

Anything more than that would extremely impressive

Very interested to see who shows up in the playoffs and who shrinks for the spurs

 

[Correct Crusader]

There's virtually nothing to take away from this game except the fact that Carter Bryants ceiling is high as fuck.
No center vs two good ones is the story of the game.

 

[100%Duncan]

That fat fuck center fucked us tbh. And im not even talking about Jokic.

No surprise there because we’re the only team in the league that was willing to sign Donelee to a contract and we had to go small because he was useless as advertised.

I dont get it man… 3 roster slots. I mean, I am on team Bwright but he went about this 3rd string big concern the worst way possible. 1 you can forgive (Biyombo being Wemby’s vet), 2 can just be a very big mistake (Olynyk turning out to be washer than washed).

3 is just — Unreal.

This kind of has that weird feeling of 2015 when the Spurs had the final game against the Pels to secure a better seed and an easy first round matchup. Instead they lost and dropped to 7 and had to face their worst matchup in the Clippers would took them to 7 grueling games.

I feel like the Nuggets will do the same in the WCSF. Let’s hope the balls bounce the spurs way this time but not feeling great about the Denver series.

Id kill for a Kevin Willis type on this team

Mitch can't force him to play if he's 'not feeling it' as he apparently said..

 

[Itzsoweezee]

Traded the second rounder last year and missed out on maxime.

Why didn’t they keep Bassey? He was perfect as a third center
