Game Thread 2026 NBA PLAYOFFS RND 1 - GAME #1 - BLAZERS @ SPURS - APRIL 19, 2026 - SUNDAY - 6:00 PM - NBC - PEACOCK (4 Viewers)

[BBert]

We are so getting Yang Hansen minutes

Maybe that was the plan all along. This is a developmental game. We clearly valued development over a lottery pick.

 

[BlayZa]

give Krejčí a go, we need someone who can get hot from the arc. like 20mins ago.

 

[Quatro44]

Holiday couldn’t find the ocean

 

[blazerfan11]

The Blazers could cut the lead but seem like they've already given up. Get someone else in there!

Where is Scoot? Krecji? Someone who will give 100%.

 

[Sedatedfork]

Would like to see a little fight here to maybe get momentum in game 2

 

[blazerkor]

We have been playing better but now we're just keeping pace with them and what we needed to do was go on a serious run.

 

[BBert]

We will see if we can make some adjustments in game 2

The biggest adjustment we need is to not be blinded under the bright lights. I don't expect much better in game two, but I do expect we'll be more dialed in at home.

 

[julius]

Hopefully, the Blazers decide to show up next game.

I don't think there will be another game where they have any shot.

 

[blazerfan11]

We have been playing better but now we're just keeping pace with them and what we needed to do was go on a serious run.

Exactly what I'm seeing. Lackadaisical for whatever reason.

 

[blazerfan11]

I don't think there will be another game where they have any shot.

There will be two games in Portland at least. I'd wait until then to give up on a win.

 

[Irish Trader]

Holiday 4 of 14 and 1 of 6 from three that’s not going to cut it

 

[BlayZa]

we 10-34 from 3

says a lot around not having a plan b

 

[Chris Craig]

Why would you have Deni shoot the tech

 

[Sedatedfork]

Holiday 4 of 14 and 1 of 6 from three that’s not going to cut it

He did bang knees earlier so who knows

 

[Chris Craig]

Our centers refuse to play defense on the perimeter

 

[BlayZa]

wemby is 5-6 from 3 as a comp

lol?

 

[julius]

At least Deni and Scoot showed up. Even if Scoot did have a few ugly turnovers.

 

[BlayZa]

i usually hate on Scoot, but he played good tonight - he did have a run of some bad passes n turnovers , but came back. he is trying on D which is more than some of the others

 

[Sheldon Shape]

Holiday 4 of 14 and 1 of 6 from three that’s not going to cut it

There's been a heavy over reliance on him for a while. He's not a spring chicken so doing that has its problems.

I think we need to free Scoot. I have no doubt that if we put more responsibility on him he'd be much better.

 

[Quatro44]

Nice try here at the end. Still don’t think they win

 

[Sedatedfork]

I like the fight.

 

[riverman]

It's almost Blake Wesley time!

 

[julius]

Yeah, totally fair that the Spurs somehow got another generational talent. Totally fair.

 

[Chris Craig]

At least there is some fight in the dog.

 

[Irish Trader]

i usually hate on Scoot, but he played good tonight - he did have a run of some bad passes n turnovers , but came back. he is trying on D which is more than some of the others

Agreed

 

[BBert]

Exactly what I'm seeing. Lackadaisical for whatever reason.

If they came out thinking everyone was right and they are outmatched then they lost before the tipoff. When they get home for game three at 0-2, with a little experience under their belts, they need to play pissed and with a chip on their shoulder.

 

[Chris Craig]

Yeah, totally fair that the Spurs somehow got another generational talent. Totally fair.

Yeah, Silver gifted him to them.

 

[julius]

Did anyone else see that the Blazers were the only playoff team to not bring their 2 way players with them?

 

[HailBlazers]

Good challenge.

 

[julius]

I like how they challenged it, but there is a 100% chance the league won't over turn it.
