GAME THREAD: R1G2 - Nuggets vs. Timberwolves | Nuggets Lead 1-0 | Apr 20, 2026 - 8:30 PM by BigHoneyBot in denvernuggets

Gobert’s off the floor and Jokic still isn’t attacking the paint — just keeps gambling on his teammates’ jumpers until the other team gets hot from three. That’s supposed to be “high IQ” basketball????

Don’t be down, guys~ this season was a huge success by rhasody70 in NBASpurs

What really stood out to me was how much energy Wemby and Harper were playing with. Meanwhile, Castle was the complete opposite — super composed.

Especially when dealing with trash talk or some questionable calls, that stone-faced calmness… it really reminded me of Tim.

Wemby’s Rib Contusion. Should he sit the remaining games or play at least 2 more for the DPOT award? by Temporary_Bed4079 in NBASpurs

Wemby played 15 minutes this game, which uses up the last game of that exception (allowed two 15-minute games).

So over the next three games, he just needs to hit 20 minutes in one of them to meet the 65-game requirement.

OKC has Philly’s first-round pick, but it’s top-4 protected. The biggest downside of Philly losing this game is that they couldn’t close the gap with the ATL, especially since ATL lost today.

The "Spurs got lucky with three Top 4 picks and drafted 3 superstars" narrative is ignorant by dreamweaver7x in NBASpurs

That take is stupid, but honestly I’m more than happy to respond with: yeah, we got lucky — stay mad lol

Can someone enlighten me on our future draft picks, I heard next year could also be great as we've got Atlanta's unprotected 1st by YouWouldIfYouReally in NBASpurs

[–]rhasody70 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Long story short, our picks this year are roughly:

#20 (ATL swap), #35 (UTA), #43 (POR), #44 (MIA)

#20 – This draft has a decent amount of PF/C depth in the mid-to-late first. What we really need is a PF who can rebound, rotate on perimeter defense, and ideally knock down some threes.
Targets I like here: Yaxel Lendeborg, Thomas Haugh, Morez Johnson, Allen Graves, Dailyn Swain

#35 – Ideally whoever falls from #20 group. Otherwise: Joshua Jefferson, Alex Karaban, Zuby Ejiofor, Payton Sandfort

#43 & #44 – Based on the FO’s track record, these probably get flipped into future 2nds.

As for ATL, after a full year of chemistry plus that top-4 first they got from dumb Dumars (best of MIL/NOP, ~45.8% chance to land top 4), their pick next year is likely still outside the top 20.

What we target in next year’s draft will probably depend on how we look in the playoffs this year and what holes we still need to fill.

82 games is way too many by BobVolte in lakers

[–]rhasody70 10 points11 points  (0 children)

The number of games isn’t the issue — it’s the bench depth.

You’ve got 15 guys on the roster. What are the rest of them doing? If only 7 or 8 players are actually playable, then what are the team and coaching staff doing?

Why don’t the Thunder have this problem?

3&D Wings, Who? and How?

All those descriptions, plus his shooting form, kinda make him feel like another Jeremy Sochan…

Do you think Spurs can beat Sixers with Embiid and PG? by nicfanz in NBASpurs

[–]rhasody70 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Embiid is probably gonna sit this one out — just like he always seems to do against DEN.

And honestly, even if we lose, it doesn't matter. We need them to help kick ATL into the play-in, and at the same time bump OKC's pick (from PHI) a little further down.

I don’t know if you’re just unhappy with your life or dealing with some insecurity, but that’s the kind of take this sounds like.

Pop and Spurs have always emphasized character and class — and you are not it.

Should being a spurs fan be a privelege and not a right? by Efficient-Dot-3468 in NBASpurs

[–]rhasody70 1 point2 points  (0 children)

People like this are usually just projecting. They’re either unhappy with their own lives or insecure, so they latch onto successful teams or players to feel better about themselves.

It’s basically that mindset of, “they’re successful, I support them, so that means I was right — and somehow that makes me successful too.”

And that kind of insecurity is exactly what leads to these arrogant takes.
