OKC announcers are ridiculous

This is hilarious.

OKC announcer: “Are you kidding me… He didn’t even get hit in the face! Take a look at this folks, I gotta show it to ya.”

**replay shows Dort elbowing Jokic in the face**

Even better angle, and not a "basketball move" by any means.
If Plumlee gets any playing time if we face OKC in the WCF, I hope his one mission is to take out that POS Dort.

You watch that and it's clear that squad is a pack of hoodlums.

I just love that their coach and fans all defended Dort and said it wasn't bad for a week then Dort himself came out a day ago and said he was out of line and crossed the line with what he did in the previous game.

They have an insanely toxic echo chamber of a fanbase.

What do you expect when their star player falls down without getting touched to draw fouls? When your alpha is a free throw merchant floppy little *****, your team and fans are gonna follow.

It's also amazing how he ALWAYS gets away with his push offs. All his step backs are predicated on his push off, which is by definition a foul.

For the “he didn’t fully extend” crowd:

“Full extension” is nowhere in the NBA rulebook as a requirement for a push-off. The NBA’s own example of the call even shows a player who doesn’t fully extend.https://t.co/oP9uqE8qkd pic.twitter.com/12v0mkkfso

Here is the official NBA video rule book demonstrating it is a foul:

Exactly. I think it would be one thing if the team played scrappy hard nosed basketball , and were just physical on both sides of the court, but they don't. And it's that hypocrisy that I think further annoys fans. I mean their offense could best be described as the beginning of the mighty ducks : "take the fall. Act hurt. Get indignant!"

Short of something criminal or grotesque, has there ever been a team that fell so quickly from "scrappy underdog" with near universal praise to league wide villain in such a short time frame??

The NBA is more entertaining to the average person if shooters are allowed to do things like this. It's dumb, but that's the reason. Great defense is boring.

Best halfcourt defensive ratings since the All-Star break:

1. Spurs – 83.0
2. Magic – 89.4
3. Celtics – 89.8
4. Thunder – 91.6
5. Suns – 91.7
6. Hawks – 91.9
7. Heat – 92.3
8. Bulls – 92.5
9. Raptors – 92.6
10. Rockets – 92.7

League median is 96.5 during that span.

83 is wild. That means in 100 half court possessions, the other team will only score 83 points.

Payton Pritchard (neck spasms) has been downgraded to out tonight for the Celtics.

Really fun for the casual fan (me) to watch the Spurs this year. Once again the team has an amazing level of talent (mostly due to the draft lottery gifting us with another generational player) and we appear to be very well coached.

It would feel like we are re-living the early 2000's all over again, but the NBA looks and feels like a completely different game today. I guess rule changes have a lot to do with it, but the shooting skill of current players also looks to have taken a significant leap as well. Not as fun to watch IMO, but there is no denying the amazing skill of the players.

Anyway, Go Spurs Go!

Dylan Harper said the Spurs ran the same play 15 times in a row against the Rockets

The first half of the third quarter was almost entirely in transition

The second half, they mercilessly attacked Sengun with pick and rolls and handoffshttps://t.co/6IXrKIsLQc

Goes back to what Castle said after the game. Doesn't matter what Houston knows, they can't stop us.

I was a casual basketball fan growing up until 1999. It was summer after 8th grade and a friend from FCA camp took me to my first Spurs game. Game 2 of the WCF against Portland. Got my picture taken with the twin towers, and have been 100% Spurs since.

This is my favorite Spurs team, ever. So fun to watch.

Wemby laying on the ground w a potential broken nose……no foul.

Throw a jersey on plumlee and send him out there. There must be retribution

But Harper gets called for that foul when he didn't do a ****ing thing?

Good challenge Mitch. They should overturn it bc Tatum pushed off as the only contact but they won't.

Even Dort thinks that is Flagrant.

Wemby has the worst whistle

Ummmm.... Where is Wemby? Did I miss an injury while watching baseball?

Post above yours. Looks like Hauser broke his nose.

NO call on what should have been flagrant.

J BROWN EJECTED


Celtics TV guys are yelling "YOU ARE RUINING THE GAME"

Jaylen Brown has been EJECTED after being assessed a double technical foul for his reaction to this no-call 😳

Foul or nah? 🤔

Dumbass.

With as much grace as NBA officials give superstars, it's remarkable how often black star players still manage to get themselves thrown out. Like you have to appear to threaten physical violence on the officials when you're that level of player to pull it off and they still do it about once a month.

Brown was acting like a little ***** after we played them last time. Control your emotions dude.

Funny part is that wasnt a foul. He flopped like LeFraud trying to get a call. Then escalated with the ref after he's been *****ing all night.

Thanks for being stupid .

Not even remotely close to a foul. Hilarious flop right in front of the refs.

That's what I love about the replay rules. Refs can just say "Go tell Joe to review it if you really think I was wrong."

When players really think the call was wrong, they do the replay sign. Brown didn't do that, he wanted LeBron calls.

This the shit I be talking about

— Jaylen Brown (@FCHWPO) March 11, 2026

He's getting all the fines.

Why is Wemby leaving his feet so often tonight on defense??

They look pretty discombobulated tonight. Maybe the Celtics defense is just that good, but it does not look like the Spurs are being able to execute the plays the way they want to. The turnovers are just sloppy as heck also.

What's funny is saying that while they have 97 in 3qtrs.
