The Official 2026 Playoffs Round 1 vs the Spurs thread...

[Domihatin]

Blazers are +1000 to win the series.

So far the worst odds for any team in the first round.

The Warriors/Suns odds may be worse against the Thunder… But this shows how heavily the Spurs are favored, which means it will be seen as a major upset when we win.

WHEN we win? I like that confidence and enthusiasm! Let's go, go, go!!

Never forget how the Spurs tried to cheat and hurt us.

SAN ANTONIO -- As if they didn't have enough to worry about coming off of a 24-point loss to the Spurs in Game 1, the Blazers were confronted with a large

That's not the team, but someone employed by them.

Yes, I know the snake didn't actually play for the Spurs. I mean come on, Pops was a hell of a coach but not get a snake to make a free throw good.

Wasn't that a response to what someone did to them at their motel here?

Anyone here thinks that we need Blake Wesley defense in this series?

Captain Chaos is welcome to play if he can make shit happen on the court. Tiago is a protege of Pop, so I expect some creative play in the playoffs.

Blake Wesley knows the Spurs system well having played with them last season. Wouldn't be surprised to see him get spot minutes

 

[SlyPokerDog]

That's hard to watch.

And shouldn’t be a shock and reason for most on here to FREAK OUT when we don’t.

I like the Mason Plumlee appearance at the end!

Like I was saying in my previous post - This is how you beat the Spurs and hit him hard

Adam Silver has to love how he called us a tanking team in the past years.

Calls us out, yet Blazers last made the playoffs in the 2020-21 season, while the Spurs last made the playoffs in the 2018-19 season. I mean, why do you think the Spurs even have you on the team?

Take a look in the mirror.

Plumlee is exactly the kind of player that will kill the Blazers in this series.

Up and down AND in circles? So you were spinning while jumping? Like pirouetting? Now, THAT, I would like to see.

You sure were!

Wut? This is fake, right?

To be fair, Portland fans don’t put them on. OKC fans will all wear the shirts but Blazers fans won’t.

Maybe they could give us Blazers ties instead.

Is this the game thread?

 

[LayneStaley]

It will be a playoff towel. Book it. That’s what Tom did for the Hurricanes in 2019. He probably has a bunch left and assumes the logos are close enough.

Remember at the beginning of the season when we ran like crazy with lots of subbing and Wesley’s speed driving fast breaks? I hope we see some of that to get out ahead of Wemby’s smothering defense. Just run run run.

No

Here’s a positive way to look at the Blazers as they sit right now.
Obviously the talk about Lillard playing has been interesting but it’s clear he will not play this year.
The take I get from that is pretty simple.
In all the years Lillard has been with the Blazers the only team he had that could make the playoffs without him playing was maybe Aldridge, Batum, Mathew’s and Lopez.
Other than that pretty much every team was carried by Lillard to the playoffs.
Next year will definitely be interesting to say the least.

We got thybulle and Deni basically for Malcolm Brogdan and a couple picks. Brogdan isn’t even in the league anymore. That’s value

Cleveland looks pretty solid.
