2026 West Semifinals: (2) San Antonio Spurs Vs. (6) Minnesota Timberwolves

Wemby is gonna wear down. 48 minute physical game. Don’t burn up all your energy early.

 

I hope whichever team wins this series can hang with the Thunder. I feel like Minnesota has the edge though.

 

McDaniels is so good.

 

Castle doing well this quarter

 

I heard someone on Twitter compare castle to jimmy butler and I thought that comparison was so on point.

I wanted the rockets to draft castle over Sheppard. Dumbass stone drafted Sheppard based on need, not talent.

 

Yea this game is over

 

man this wemby guy is good, OKC fans must be shaking seeing this version of wemby coming at them the next 5 years.....

 

After the T-Wolves evened up the game in the 3rd quarter, the Spurs looked super shaky. But after they righted the ship and took control again, I initially thought the T-Wolves really blew a shot to win and flip the series. But after continuing to watch, I believe the blowout was inevitable because they just ran out of gas tonight while the Spurs increased their energy.

Ant and Co. can really use the extra day off before game 6. Even with their home crowd, I wonder if they can put together 48 hard minutes on Friday.

 

Everyone knows where this is headed.
Same reason they didn’t suspend Gumby.

NBA is gheyer & faker than the WWE.

 

He also knew what he was talking about when he wished to go to the Spurs and not to us. He knew the Spurs had a great front office, and the mentorship of legends like Pop, Duncan, Manu, Parker.

If Wemby played for us, he would not be on the way to a WCF in year 3 like he is currently with the Spurs

 

Is this the same Mitchell we didn't give a chance to?

 

What the actual... 8 minutes got stops and the next 7 minutes let the floodgate open for 30 pts.

 

The Spurs are obviously a very good team. They are often able to pull away because they have an extra gear.

I have them beat OKC.

 

A worse version of Giannis

Rocket River

 

If they get to OKC
What is the Over Under of DORT or Carruso getting an Elbow.
They play "physical" defense as well (we call it bias defense but )

Rocket River

 

NBA is doing itself a disservice with promoting Wembanyama, do you want to see the league filled with 8 footers in the future?

Or do you want to see 6'5ers and 6'10ers......as mainstreamers.

 

Nobody in the NBA plays team defense as physical as the T-Wolves have been doing since the playoffs started. OKC does have a couple of guys like Dort and Caruso who pull out the kitchen sink, but their special sauce is hands and length more than just brute physicality.

IMO, if Minnesota advances, something is going to change in the WCFs. Either (1) the refs will tighten things up a little or (2) OKC will dish out equal brutality back to the T-Wolves and it's gonna be REALLY ugly. My bet is on #1.
