Veterans of the Game Thread know how we do things around here, but for all you newbies we have a few rules. Our <a href=\"http:\/\/www.poundingtherock.com\/community-guidelines\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">community guidelines<\/a> apply and basically say be cool, no personal attacks, don\u2019t troll and don\u2019t swear too much. <\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1nfb3k4i _16w9vov1 _16w9vov0 ls9zuh1\">Well, the Spurs have been on a tear lately, and they seem to be locked into second place in the west, unless somehow the Lakers can take their two remaining games with OKC. While I\u2019d like that to happen, cheering for LA makes me feel dirty, so maybe it\u2019ll happen while I\u2019m looking the other way. The Spurs would like to win the remainder of their games, but more important now is getting the team to play with precision and consistent effort. The Silver and Black has been winning a lot of games lately, but it\u2019s scary for the rest of the league that they can play a lot better than they are now, and Mitch is committed to making that happen in time for the playoffs.<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1nfb3k4i _16w9vov1 _16w9vov0 ls9zuh1\">The Warriors are without a ton of players tonight, with 9 players on the injury list. The Spurs are relatively healthy, with only Luke Kornet out for tonight as he hopefully rests up for the second half of the back-to-back tomorrow night against the clippers. This could be a big night for Victor Wembanyama\u2019s campaign for the MVP award, but I would prefer he puts in his 24 minutes or so and rests the whole fourth as the Spurs cruise to an easy blowout win. Golden State always plays tough against the Spurs, so it would be good if San Antonio could dominate early and put the home crowd to sleep in this late night west coast game. Castle must dominate Podziemski and GO SPURS GO!!!<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1nfb3k4i _16w9vov1 _16w9vov0 ls9zuh1\">Draymond Green will deposit a dollar in the curse jar by the Warriors bench every time he utters a profanity. After the game, the towel kid will retire on the proceeds.<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1nfb3k4i _16w9vov1 _16w9vov0 ls9zuh1\">San Antonio Spurs at Golden State Warriors<br \/>April 1, 2026 | 9:00 PM CT <br \/>Streaming: ESPN App<br \/>TV: ESPN<br \/>Reminder: It is against site policy to post links to illegal streams in the comments.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Welcome to the Game Thread.
