On Saturday afternoon, two issues occurred that Spurs haven’t seen a lot this season. One: the Spurs stars didn’t make performs in crunch time and two: the Spurs misplaced the sport. It actually was an ideal preparation for the playoffs the place the workforce labored via their errors and nonetheless nearly gained the sport, but additionally discovered that losing possessions on the street in a playoff environment can price video games. The most important query for the Spurs coming into the playoffs is their lack of playoff expertise, and the Denver sport is as near a playoff sport as most of the gamers on the present have had, and there’s no method that they don’t study from the expertise.
Tonight, they face the Sixers, who’ve been hampered with accidents all season lengthy however have a comparatively clear sheet tonight, with Maxey taking part in with a splint on his injured finger and former Spur (in title solely) Cameron Payne out with a hamstring damage. Joel Embiid and Paul George needs to be able to go, however with Embiid, it’s at all times exhausting to understand how properly he’ll transfer till you see him on the court docket. Additionally they have an honest solid of supporting characters, with Kelly Oubre and Dominick Barlow. Did you understand that Kyle Lowry was nonetheless within the league? I didn’t, however he doesn’t play loads, so he shouldn’t be an element tonight. Essentially the most thrilling matchup to observe might be VJ Edgecombe towards Dylan Harper as the 2 tremendous rookies showcase their skills.
The Spurs haven’t any listed accidents, which signifies that Victor Wembanyama had no lasting results from his exhausting fall on Saturday, the place it regarded like he banged his head on the hardwood in Denver after being tripped. The Spurs are the extra gifted workforce on this matchup, and they need to be targeted after the loss. The Spurs have 4 video games left within the season, and the standings are set (OKC will NOT lose 3 of their 4 remaining video games), so the rest of the season might be a chance for Coach Mitch to work on getting ready the workforce in order that the errors of some days in the past don’t recur as soon as the playoffs begin. The Spurs gained’t know their playoff matchup till after the primary sport of the play-in match, so they should concentrate on poise and decisiveness greater than particular performs, and I’m certain that’s what they’re going to be engaged on tonight. OK, GO SPURS GO!!!
Dom Barlow will try and dunk on Victor Wembanyama. It is not going to go properly for him.
