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. Our community guidelines apply and basically say be cool, no personal attacks, don’t troll and don’t swear too much. The rule against trolling also applies to members of this site that visit other fan sites.
It’s the 101st game of the season (82 regular season games, 18 playoff games, and the NBA cup championship1) and there’s nothing to say that hasn’t already been said. It’s been an incredible series, with each team making adjustments and turning small strategic advantages into winning margins, until the other team responds and forces another round of adjustments. It’s been an emotional roller coaster for the fans of both teams, and they aren’t even playing the games. It’s hard to imagine how stressful this is for the team and staff, but they seem to be handling is well so far.

The Spurs stepped up with their best defensive effort of the season in the second half as they held the Thunder scoreless for eight minutes as the Spurs ripped off a 20-0 run and put the game away early. Victor Wembanyama and the starters had a long rest to finish the game and that should work in favor of the Silver and Black tonight. If Victor can have one of his high energy games tonight, that might be the key to winning the series and advancing to the finals. Dylan Harper and Stephon Castle have been great, with Harper looking at full strength in Game 6 after being hobbled for much of the series. De’Aaron Fox has been injured all series long, which has affected his scoring, but he’s making contributions in other ways as turnovers have been way down since he returned to the lineup. He could be the deciding factor tonight, but he’s also unlocking the games of his teammates, so I wouldn’t mind having Champagnie having a great night again. It’s a team effort. LET’S GO SPURS!
If the Spurs win tonight, they’ll play on June 3rd against the Knicks at the Frost Bank Center, and if they lose they have a whole off season to think about getting the best record in the league and locking up home court advantage for the playoffs.

That game is hard to remember that game since it didn’t count in the standings, but if the Spurs win tonight, I have a feeling that people will be talking about it a lot.

I wrote this whole thing about how Wembanyama is Superman (because he’s an alien) and Caruso is Lex Luthor (he’s bald, duh), but decided to edit it out because it was to comic-nerdy. Maybe next time.
Game Prediction:
We have a repeat of Game 1, with a double overtime thriller won by the Spurs with Wemby scoring 40+.
