The New York Knicks and Philadelphia 76ers will resume their best-of-seven Eastern Conference NBA Playoffs series this evening. New York leads the series 2-0 but there’s some doubt whether OG Anunoby will suit up for them in Game 3 due to a hamstring strain. On the other side of The Association, Minnesota Timberwolves will tangle […]
While Game 2 did not go the way any Wolves fans would want, it’s still an opportunity to reload and reflect. Canis’ Thilo Widder is joined by our Spurs’ sister site Pounding the Rock EIC JR Wilco to discuss what could change in a pivotal Game 3 return to Minnesota. Thilo Widder Okay, maybe I […]
Hold on, I need to start this out with a pep talk to myself. Deep breaths. This is a safe space. We are among a few thousand of your closest friends. Even considering this will break your heart and brain and could quite possibly traumatize many others. But you are supposed to be a quasi-objective […]
My discussion with Thilo Widder from Canis Hoopus continues as the series shifts from San Antonio to Minneapolis all tied up at 1-1. Before Game 1, we discussed how the Spurs would need to be prepared for the Timberwolves’ size advantage. Then, after a last second loss in which the Spurs got little offensive help […]

The community is just incredible,” she said. “Everyone’s so welcoming, so warm. It just feels like family every time I meet somebody new.” McLaughlin posts on […]
After a 133-95 rout of the Minnesota Timberwolves in Game Two, the San Antonio Spurs will head to Minneapolis looking to steal a game and regain home-court advantage. Much like they did in round one of the playoffs, the Spurs head into Game Three with a bit of uncertainty. The Timberwolves are undefeated at home […]
After dropping Game One to the Minnesota Timberwolves, there was a lot of talk about the demise of the San Antonio Spurs. Some ESPN commentators even suggested they could be swept in the series. The young team responded with a resounding 133-95 victory over the Wolves, where every player but one scored a point. It […]
Every now and then, you see something that’s just hard to put into words. A specifically timed (and context-dependent) moment of humor. An unusual sequence of events. A coincidence bordering on a glitch in the Matrix. And one of the first things you do is look around and see if anyone else is around to […]
The Minnesota Timberwolves' winning strategy against the Denver Nuggets can also be applied to the San Antonio Spurs.
All wins count the same, and Minnesota still has reason to feel good. (After all, they now go back to Minneapolis knowing that holding serve at home will win them the series.) However, on a deeper level, I think that the nature of this victory could significantly alter the mindset of both teams. In the […]

Game 1 went down to the wire, the Spurs lost on a missed Champagnie buzzer beater. Afterwards, there was no heads hung, no self deprication, just an urgency to watch film and make the necessary adjustments before heading into Game 2. Matthew Tynan of Corporate Knowledge reported that Spurs legend Gregg Popovich sat in on […]
The Spurs lost a close Game 1 on a missed Julian Champagnie buzzer-beater, and it seems it was the wakeup call they needed. San Antonio demolished the Timberwolves in Game 2, outexecuting them and outhustling them en route to a 133-95 win. At halftime, the visitors had only scored 35 points, and the biggest lead […]
The Minnesota Timberwolves came into Wednesday night’s Game 2 of their Western Conference Semifinals series against the San Antonio Spurs with a chance to get greedy. After taking Game 1 104-102, the Wolves had the opportunity to take a commanding 2-0 series lead before even playing a game at Target Center. Instead, the Timberwolves never […]
The San Antonio Spurs had their backs to the wall, so they had a Game 7 mentality from tip-off, and they cruised their way to the finish line against the ravenous Minnesota Timberwolves. The Spurs are now going on tour and the winner of a Game 3 in a best of seven series when it’s […]
Welcome to the Game Thread. Veterans of the Game Thread know how we do things around here, but for all you newbies we have a few rules.

The 2026 NBA Playoffs schedule gives us a couple of games this evening. The embattled Philadelphia 76’ers will try to overcome fatigue to turn around a 0-1 start to their series with the New York Knicks.

A day after the Minnesota Timberwolves upset the San Antonio Spurs in Game 1 of their second-round matchup, I got a follow-up text from JR Wilco at Pounding the Rock — our Spurs sister site — asking if I wanted to have another one of these conversations about what we’re seeing within our own teams […]
Minnesota Timberwolves at San Antonio SpursDate: May 6th, 2026Time: 8:30 PM CDTLocation: Frost Bank CenterTelevision Coverage: ESPN Game 1 was not pretty. It was not elegant.

Before Game 1 against the Minnesota Timbwolves, I chatted with Thilo Widder from our sister site Canis Hoopus about how the Spurs would need to get more creative on offense to counter the Wolves’ size advantage.

Even with Anthony Edwards on a minutes restriction, the Minnesota Timberwolves were able to come into the Frost Bank Center and steal both Game 1 and home court advantage from the Spurs. The style of play on display in that game was what was expected of the series from the outset: hard-fought, physical games that […]
I’ve woken up under the weather. My mouth is dry. I’m either hot or cold, I can’t decide. I desperately want to distract myself from whatever it is I’m feeling right now, but I know, deep in my bones, that nothing good is going to come from looking at my phone. I need a coffee. […]
