The Spurs completely dominated the series and would have swept the Trail Blazers had Wembanyama not suffered his concussion: true or false?

San Antonio has officially wrapped up the first round, winning its first playoff series since 2017. Naturally, now all eyes look ahead in a “hurry up and wait” situation, as the 3-6 matchup plays out between the Minnesota Timberwolves and Denver Nuggets. Regardless of how things play out, San Antonio sits in a position of […]
I found this interesting. In a nutshell, the 2-1-1 theory is a playoff philosophy that suggests the winning team requires specific contribution distribution: the best player (superstar) wins you 2 games, the second-best player wins you 1 games, and a role player wins 1, taking the team to the 4 necessary wins to take the […]
“Can he fly?” “Who? Wemby?” “The really tall guy.” “Yeah, that’s Wemby.” “Can Wemby fly?” “No. But it sure looks like it, doesn’t it?” “I think he can fly.” Out of the mouth of babes, eh? It’s funny how succinctly and ardently a child can summarize how they feel/what they think about something. For someone […]

The Portland Trail Blazers have completed their 2025-26 season with a 42-40 record, a NBA Play-In Tournament victory over the Phoenix Suns, and a 3-1 loss to the San Antonio Spurs in the first round of the 2026 NBA Playoffs.

The Portland Trail Blazers ended their 2025-26 season last night with a 114-95 loss to the San Antonio Spurs in the first round of the 2026 NBA Playoffs. There will be plenty of time to let the offseason sink in. Today we’re going to take time for an immediate, though right-brained, question from the Blazer’s […]
Last night, the Spurs capped off a 4-1 first round victory over the Trail Blazers by torching Portland in the first half and then coasting (somewhat uncomfortably at times) the rest of the way. As lopsided as the series looks on paper, I would actually argue that it’s been an ideal training ground for this […]
Well, here we are again. The last What We Learned I did was in the Spurs’ third-to-last game of the regular season, when they hosted none other than the Portland Trail Blazers: a game they won despite no Victor Wembanyama or Stephon Castle in large part thanks to De’Aaron Fox. It turned into more of […]
In Tuesday’s Brotherhood Playoff Action, Philadelphia mauled Boston, 113-97, New York hammered Atlanta, 126-97, and San Antonio eliminated Portland, 114-95. Jayson Tatum finished with 24 points, 16 rebounds, 4 assists and three steals for the Celtics. Boston is still up 3-2, but they could have closed the Sixers out. Too bad. The Knicks are up […]
It’s just after one o’clock a.m. I have been in the Frost Bank Center for seven hours. After an eight hour work day. Don’t get me wrong, I am not complaining. This has been the best year of my life as far as all things Spurs go. I’ve been to more games, sat in on […]
As it was the theme for most of the Spurs’ and Trail Blazers’ first-round series, the final matchup was a game of two halves. San Antonio cruised to a huge lead before the break in what seemed destined to be a blowout, only to almost allow a surprising comeback. In the end, the play of […]
If the Portland Trail Blazers could have surrendered at halftime in Game 5 of their first-round playoffs series against the San Antonio Spurs, they might have taken that offer just to catch an earlier flight back to Portland. Over the course of four quarters, the Blazers trimmed a 28-point Spurs lead down to 9, but […]
The Portland Trail Blazers end their 2025-26 season with a 114 – 95 loss to the San Antonio Spurs on Tuesday night.

The Spurs never looked like they were playing full speed tonight, unlike the second half of Game 4 where they obliterated the Trail Blazers for 24 minutes, but it was good enough to defeat an outclassed Portland team. It was a dominant early effort from the Silver and Black with Julian Champanie hitting shots and […]
