At the end of the day, neither of these teams really is deserving of an ECF appearance.

And neither of the ECF winners is deserving of a shot against OKC/SAS.

Is there a way to magically teleport to g1 against OKC already? This is already looking like a bludgeoning in the making.

Man the Spurs are LOCKED IN so far

dogzman · 05-15-2026, 09:35 PM

Detroit came to play tonight! Looks like so did the Spurs!

Carter Bryant has a face like he was raised off Ovaltine and cozy mornings nestled by the fireplace watching Reading Rainbow.

The cornrows won't let me unsee it.

Spurs putting some belt to ass here.

The Big Covid 6 game defensive hype streak was fun while it lasted.

Back to being Draymond's asphyxiation victim.

JustinVerlander07 · 05-15-2026, 10:23 PM

46 playoff games for James Harden with more turnovers than field goals made. Woof

spurs50fan · 05-15-2026, 10:37 PM

Wolves forcing inside just bc Wemby is sitting has been hurting them more

And McDaniels looks like Kawhi’s child

spurs50fan · 05-15-2026, 11:06 PM

Wolves conceded with 8 minutes to go

sickmantz · 05-15-2026, 11:26 PM

I don't know how anyone beats the Spurs in a 7 game series. It feels like the only thing that can stop them is history (no one this inexperienced ever wins).

I hope OKC can figure them out.

spurs50fan · 05-15-2026, 11:29 PM

Only thing that worries me is how loose the guards get with the ball in stretches

btw Wemby loves Rudy and you see how he did him

ninjacookies · 05-15-2026, 11:36 PM

Looks like JDubb's being saved for G1.

Zero excuses. Let the better gigchads win.

Asian62150 · 05-15-2026, 11:39 PM

Spurs-OKC. I hope it's a good rivalry for the next decade.

ninjacookies · 05-15-2026, 11:43 PM

Not a terrible series by Ant, but 5 rebounds and 2 assists a game highlights how difficult it is for a traditional 2 guard to affect other aspects of the game and dramatically shift outcomes.

Virtually non existent in team facilitation.

I don't even know who to pick to win this series right now. I'm leaning towards SA, but if J-Dub can actually play at and at a high level, I start to have doubts.

In an ideal world you would just have the Spurs & Thunder in the Finals and re-seed everyone else and see who the third best is. That could be fun.

No one brings that series up as an excuse for Curry, GS lost so end of story. Interesting how some narratives go.

It will be a great NBA finals between these two juggernauts for sure!

That first half was probably the worst quarter and half of basketball I've ever seen. The wolves couldn't shoot, play defense or get a damn rebound to save their lives. And it wasn't that Wemby was snagging all the rebounds either. How the heck do you come out as a team with no intensity or effort to start the game when your playoff lives are on the line??? Ant tried to make a run the back half of the 2nd quarter but by that time it was too late. Didn't watch the 2nd half, wasn't really a point to.

New York will have no easy round if they play the Pistons, a team they should've lost to last year.

What's the narrative exactly? Toronto absolutely won, but when the preface is 'nobody thought the Raptors would beat the Warriors", you have to point out the obvious. They won because KD tore his achilles and Klay tore his ACL in the finals. Toronto still won! Nobody can take that away, but that's why they won.

They didn’t want to go back to SA and it showed in the first quarter. They knew after game 5. Ant did what he could but could not sustain it in any of the games. They also made a mistake I think OKC will employ and dare Castle/Harper to shoot. Problem is post All-Star, I believe both are over 40% on 3s. But watching the games, the Wolves were overmatched and injured. Was getting out rebounded which I swore would be their advantage. Rudy could not guard Wemby without the “extras”. And post elbow, the lanes and guard play picked up significantly. Go figure. 3 of the Spurs wins were 25+ points so it was obvious they were playing undermanned. How they beat the Nuggets idk
