Spurs vs. Nuggets Game One -- Game Blog

[Rummpd]

We need a poster here every hour until game time counting down the hours and putting out a spin.

T minus 10:

1) I believe a probable Spurs blowout ala Sixers vs. Pistons yesterday. Early on Denver may show some heart and skill but slowly and surely Spurs will turn it on and roll em with similar defensive intensity shown by the Pistons yesterday. High scorer today Parker, with solid to great games by Barry, Nazr, Duncan and Manu as well

2) 8 Eastern: Appropriate drinks and reverence that the playoffs have truly begun. How appropriate starts about time of a Super Bowl.

3) Believe.

[cherylsteele]

The first game of the series will tell me how it will turn out.....


1) If the Spurs come out an lay an egg...get blown out...I will be concerned about them losing the series.

2) If they come out and do the opposite of #1...then this could possibly be a sweep or a short series.

3) If they come out and it is a close game either team winning....it will a long drawn out series with both teams having a chance to advance.


It all depends on the mindset from the get-go.

[HB22inSA]

I don't see the Spurs losing Game 1.

The Spurs are so tough at home, even without Duncan and Ginobili, and with a playoff atmoshpere, Denver won't hang around for long.

[Sonia_TX]

I am so ready! But I can't find my Spurs shirt! dangit!

[Ishta]

I am so ready! But I can't find my Spurs shirt! dangit!I'm washing mine!! I coulden't find mine either, and I was PISSED!! Alas I found it:spin , so life is good except I have to go over to inlaws to watch game...Not so much fun. Interesting sidenote.. I was watching TNT NBA preview this morning and something interesting was said.... Spurs will not have as hard series with Denver, as poor Phoenix will. Good point Spurs are much calmer and know how to win playoff games... Yes Nash has playoff experience, but has choked in previous years...

BELIEVE

GO SPURS GO
p.s. approx 7 hours to go and counting..

Captain Obvious?

[cherylsteele]

Captain Obvious?

:smokin

Maybe so......but one could argue otherwise regarding first blow-outs and such....if we get blown out...one could argue we can still win the series.

Or we blown them out...get overconfident and lose 4 straight....like last year.

Amoungst other this.....I just feel that is the way it would play out.

Personally I think the Spurs will win in 6 games......lose one at home...but get it back in Denver....I think people are not giving Denver enough credit in the forum.

[boutons]

"lose one at home...but get it back in Denver"

An opening split @SBC would be very dangerous for the Spurs. The Karl Nuggets are essentially as tough at @DEN (18-1) as the Spurs are @SBC. If the Spurs can't take the first 2 @SBC (thereby handing HCA to Nuggets), they will put the entire series at risk. The Spurs' road mediocrity plus Nuggets home toughness would put too much pressure on the ailing Spurs in the first series. Don't want to see that.

[Kori Ellis]

T-Minus Six Hours.

Spurs fans are getting antsy. They aren't sure whether to keep posting random thoughts, leave their homes to keep themselves busy, get something to eat and settle in to watch the afternoon games, or just take a nap.

[Brodels]

I know. I have a lot of shit to do before the game, but I'm bouncing around from thing to thing just passing time. I've got to decide on a bar to watch the game at, otherwise, I'm ready.

I would be very nervous if we lost game 1 or 2, but I would have faith that the Spurs would find a way to win. Afterall, the playoffs is full of tests. Our road woes may be tested.

couldn't agree with you more. this ENTIRE weekend has gone on and on and on and on. I am ready for this game to be played. This has been pure and utter weirdness. I don't think I have ever been this antsy for a game to begin! I guess the reason why is I'm finally back home in SA, andcoming from _allas you just don't get the same feel! Hell I was up at 1:oo am watching Sean Elliotts jersey retirement AGAIN!!!:rollin


there is almost 5 1/2 hours till tip off!!

I thought that it was just me... :depressed

[foodie2]

I am basically a wreck. First time I ever wished to be at work on a Sunday, but maybe that would occupy my mind. I've already cleaned my freaking oven, for God's sake. Now I guess I'll go mop the floor or something. I can't settle down to read a book, and reading the posts here from all the other edgy fans isn't helping me at all.

[HB22inSA]

Most of you say the Spurs will win the Championship, so what's a measly little game 1 of the playoffs to anybody?

Spurs have it in the bag...

Right?

I'm passing the time at the office getting ahead on my work, because the NBA Playoffs are the least productive 2 months of the year for me.

T-Minus Five Hours.

We can now at least pretend to watch the Heat game.

[Useruser666]

I'm at work too Spurm, not getting ahead though, trying to finish a project before Monday. Wait, why am I posting here then?! Damnit!

[polandprzem]

Remember the 2003 Suns?

[ca®lo]

damnit i should be sleeping already so i can wake up early and watch the game!

but coz of all the excitement im finding it hard to sleep!

[FromWayDowntown]

For those who spend any time worrying about officials, things could be worse for Game 1.

We know that we won't see Jack Nies, Steve Javie, and some other guys who've been pretty bad to the Spurs at times (Ron Garretson, Luis Grillo, Bernie Fryer, Jess "I want the wolf out of here" Kersey). We'll see who is on the Chicago/Washington game, but it seems to me that Ed Rush, Dick Bavetta, Bob Delaney and Bennett Salvatore are still unaccounted for at this point, which means we'll likely see at least one of those guys tonight. (I'd guess the other officials will be some combination of guys like Greg Willard, Bill Spooner, Derrick Stafford, Tom Washington, and Joe Forte and then some combination of "other guys" like Scott Foster, Monty McCutchen, Ron Olesiak, Mark Wunderlich, David Jones, Blaine Reichelt, and Tony Brothers). Just a guess, though.

Man, you b-ball nuts not only know all the 30 teams players' names and positions by heart, and proly also know many retired player's names, and who they played for, but you also know the names of the fuking refs.

Unreal :spin

The other night at the Drafthouse, they had NBA trivia for free movie passes.

Lets just say that those of us there from SpursTalk cleaned up.

Get your asses in the chat room everybody. Let's do game one properly!

[Duncanoypi]

Nazr for the dunk...TD for the dunk...

yeah...dunk the nuggets!

[MaNuMaNiAc]

Nazr came out like a bat out of hell!!! they guy is on fire!!!!!

[ducks]

nazr came to play

[dn0]

can someone be more physical on miller

[RobinsontoDuncan]

why is tony slowing it down? his being a pussy and not going for the running game is causing these stupid turnovers.

[Slo spurs fan]

Stop the fucking TO!!!

[Slo spurs fan]

Manuuuuuuuu!!!!!

[Slo spurs fan]

Melo is 0-5 LOL

[Duncanoypi]

Spurs has new rebounding machine!....NAZR!.....

[Duncanoypi]

Kill Andre Miller..

[JUUOT]

bring it there and we will take care of miller

[kskonn]

that was a cheap foul.....

[Lakafan23]

I think this is going to be a good game, but i think the Nuggets will come out with the win.

[kskonn]

good sign to see horry hitting a jumber

[Slo spurs fan]

Anybody saw Tony P?

[kskonn]

I think this is going to be a good game, but i think the Nuggets will come out with the win.

I think the game will start to get out of hand and the refs will begin to clamp down. At the point the game will turn into a halfcourt game, and that will favor the spurs. Spurs win. Stick around though to see how it turns out.

[twincam]

Tony is a no-show...he's not driving the lane...
They are playing 'transition', that's not their game.....

[vsnba]

Hi guys!
is Duncan is healthy ?
playing good ?

[kskonn]

yes he is healthy.

Not playing bad but not dominating yet

[MaNuMaNiAc]

Jesus Nazr is a rebounding machine!!!!! the guy gets all the rebounds!!

[kskonn]

that was a stupid play by ginobli. They already had him locked up underneath

[kskonn]

did the retract the roof at the SBC center today?

[vsnba]

I hope duncan start dominating. without him we will be in trouble

[kskonn]

man the refs are really letting them play.

[kskonn]

that last move by duncan was ecouraging. hopefully his ankle is feeling better.

[twincam]

ELBOW to the face! take that!

[vsnba]

Nazr and Manu Playing great

[kskonn]

wow it looks like Denver trying to get physical with san antonio might have been a mistake. It seems to be backfiring on them at this point in the game. They have not been able to keep the guards out of the lane.

[twincam]

HALFCOURT GAME is the key for the Spurs to win.
That's why they've increased their lead

[boutons]

Manu paid back Buckner good for the FF. fuck Buckner.

[kskonn]

HALFCOURT GAME is the key for the Spurs to win.
That's why they've increased their lead

For sure. That fall that duncan took might have been good for him mentally. He came down on his ankle and was OK!!! the next position he made a good up and under move that maybe he had not made a game ago.

[kskonn]

man miller is going crazy

[kskonn]

Bruce is shadowing carmello. going to ve a long night for carmello

[MaNuMaNiAc]

What's wrong with TP? he's not being himself

[Gerryatrics]

Geez, Parker ran into what looked like seven guys in the paint, and he pumpfakes instead of kicking it out.

And I can't believe they actually had Boykins and Barry matching up, I don't know what either team was thinking, but that was great. Too bad the Spurs couldn't exploit the mismatch... ball movement people, ball movement.

[kskonn]

I hate kenyon Martin. He has the same dimeanor as stoudemire.

[twincam]

Defense collapses

[kskonn]

yea I am not sure what is going on with TP. He is trying to do to much

[Aggie Hoopsfan]

Why are we trying to do everything one on one on offense? Especially isoing Tony vs. Andre Miller. On what planet is Tony going up against a taller, stronger Andre Miller a matchup you want to force offensively?

Come on Pop, show me something on offense.

[Aggie Hoopsfan]

I love it. Denver has Boykins covering Barry. Do we think to post him up? Hell no, that would make too much sense.

[twincam]

I too have noticed that they're NOT passing the ball. They're trying to penetrate the paint and not taking the outside shots...I don't know why the Spurs have changed their game. Stick to the A-Plan, don't change things.
PASS THE BALL, ROTATE, SET YOUR PLAYS.

POISE PEOPLE, POISE

[kskonn]

Why are we trying to do everything one on one on offense? Especially isoing Tony vs. Andre Miller. On what planet is Tony going up against a taller, stronger Andre Miller a matchup you want to force offensively?

Come on Pop, show me something on offense.


I think we will start to see some ball movement after this timeout. Everyone is trying to do to much individually. get those shooters open. If Barry can get a couple open shots and knock them down then the spurs will be able to do whatever they want.

[GangstaB87]

Hey im from CT and my dad and I are arguing about TNT broadcasting policy. i'm a spurs fan and was watching the end of the bulls game with the spurs game not on. What happens in SA or dallas, are there regional networks?

[MaNuMaNiAc]

That's the Parker I know

[kskonn]

there you go tim....

[Duncanoypi]

Where's Big Dog?

[kskonn]

Where's Big Dog?

on the bench

[twincam]

Take care of the damn ball, Spurs

[kskonn]

Tim is knocking some bodies around down there!!!!!

[twincam]

Defense Defense Defense Defense

[twincam]

three fouls on Anthony!

[twincam]

I'm a post whore tonight...I'm watching the game upstairs on a freakin' 15-in tv...
My wife is watching her GIRLIE shows downstairs on the 60-in TV...
What a life

[vsnba]

is guys Tim Looks good ?, We need him

[Frenchise player]

Carmelo is playing in our side today.

[Aggie Hoopsfan]

I just wish that at the point where your offense starts to stagnate you'd have the thought to maybe get Glenn Robinson off the bench...

[twincam]

YES...Parker is awaken

[Gerryatrics]

Hey im from CT and my dad and I are arguing about TNT broadcasting policy. i'm a spurs fan and was watching the end of the bulls game with the spurs game not on. What happens in SA or dallas, are there regional networks?

What part of CT? I used to live in Groton... and Ledyard, and Norwich, and Gales Ferry, and North Stonington... Pretty much all of New London County.

I assume there's a local network in SA that has their own broadcast. TNT pretty much always follows the current game to the conclusion before going to the next game. Sucks if you're a fan of one of the teams that starting to play, but it would suck even more if you were a fan of a team near the end of the game and they cut away. I'm in WA now so I'm watching the TNT broadcast, it doesn't seem I missed anything too important.

[kskonn]

this style of play that denver is trying to use is not going to last. Spurs are starting to wear them down

No local station is carrying the game. TNT usually stays on the first game if it is close, if it is a blow out they will switch.

[Duncanoypi]

a "T" for A. Miller...

[PM5K]

big Dog Big Dog Big Dog

[dougp]

a "T" for A. Miller...
What happened?

[kskonn]

man miller is just killing us.

[nacho estrada]

The switch on Miller on D from Parker to Ginobili and Bowen was necessary if we wanted to win tonight. He's on fire and Tony was getting lit up.. damn as i was writing this Bruce got spun on and Miller got the dish for an and 1. He's killin us indeed !!!

[JUUOT]

it was about time for parker. now miller might get more occupied on defense slowing him on offense

[jmarca4]

Hey Spurs Fans,

Checkin in all the way from Japan. Its ten in the morning here. Looks like a good close game. I`m sure the Spurs will pull away in the second. Wish i could see the game, but trusting good ol ESPN Game Flow to see whats going on. If you all have any pics, please psot. Go SPURS GO

[kskonn]

damnit beno

[ShoogarBear]

Damn, where is Wilkes when you need him?

[kskonn]

damn spurs, was it not close enough going into the half?

[Duncanoypi]

whats up Beno?!

[GangstaB87]

u gotta be shittin me

[E20]

Put Bowen On Miller!

[Gerryatrics]

No local station is carrying the game. TNT usually stays on the first game if it is close, if it is a blow out they will switch.

That sucks. I wasn't sure but I thought I had seen a local network listed in the game calender thing on the Spurs site. The Sonics playoff games are shown of FSNNW, which is great, because I can listen to the Kevin Calabro, the best play by play man in the NBA, instead of whatever random over-the-hill scrub ESPN, TNT or ABC manages to dig up.

[Aggie Hoopsfan]

What a pathetic end to the half. WTF are we doing?

[twincam]

Once again...they blow a decent lead with just over one minute

[kskonn]

thats it I am going to go make some dinner

[kskonn]

I like ginoblie dimeanor during that interview

[Aggie Hoopsfan]

Bowen is on Miller. Like some of us said here last week, we needed Wilks around to match up physically with Miller.

That said, it'd be nice if someone would put him on his fucking ass instead of letting him shred our defense. It's the playoffs, get physical damnit.

[Duncanoypi]

up by 8 or 9....and now tied at half time!...

Kill Andre Miller please!....

[Frenchise player]

Andre Miller: 24 points, FG 11-15.
I hope it won't last.

[E20]

What was Beno thinking!?!? Don't need the flashy behind the back stuff just slow down and crossover to the other hand.

[HB22inSA]

8-0 run by Denver in the last 30 seconds.

[Cant_Be_Faded]

did anyone seriously believe andre was going to miss that shot? players always hit stuff like that against our team in the playoffs...always..

the boys are playin like crap right now, they better pull off one of those bad ass 3rd quarters...beno freakin blew it too

[boutons]

what a fucking disaster, totally lost control of the game, gave Nuggets tons of confidence going into the half, fuck fuck fuck

[johnny00]

FUCK!!!!!!!!!!
Beno FUCKUP costs us the lead.
He's in Pops doghouse again.

[Gerryatrics]

Well that was one hell of a finish to the first half. Nice job of bending over and taking it from the Nuggs to end the half. Every time the Spurs get a nice lead, they start getting sloppy instead of going for the jugular and putting the game out of reach of the Nuggets.

[kskonn]

I don't think it will last. I think spurs will use that last 30 seconds as a wake up call

[ZStomp]

they are showing the game on local channel. FOX SPORTS channel 26

[Leetonidas]

Pop is going to have a nice chat with them at the half, so you can be the Spurs and Manu explode out of the gate to start the third.

[twincam]

I don't see Beno getting more minutes tonight...
Popovich took him OUT right away!
Too late...it's now tied at halftime.

[vsnba]

why pop removed Tim and Parker end of quarter .
These spurs always raises my blood pressure every year

[Leetonidas]

I don't see Beno getting more minutes tonight...
Popovich took him OUT right away!
Too late...it's now tied at halftime.

Well, Tony can't play the whole game by himself...

[TDfan2007]

Why does this always happen to us?

It seems that every time I turn around the Spurs have some sort of melt down and lose momentum. Those final 30 seconds will either be a wake-up call for the Spurs or it will be their demise.

BTW Pop, DO NOT PUT BENO IN THE GAME UNLESS IT IS ABSO-FUCKING-LUTELY NECESSARY!!!!!!!!!

[Duncanoypi]

I believe Spurs will come out in 3rd firing in all sides of the court!....

[Gerryatrics]

they are showing the game on local channel. FOX SPORTS channel 26

OK, that's what I thought... Now I'm all confused. Ah well, at any rate TNT didn't seem to miss too much of the begining of the game, so I suppose it doesn't matter.

[GrandeDavid]

The good news is the Spurs are shooting 100% from the line. The bad news is TP has had his sack removed by...Andre Miller? Oh brother.

[Tek_XX]

Haha i don't mind the nuggs are playing well and we could use the tough play to get accustomed to the playoffs.

Royal fuck up by beno though

[nacho estrada]

Bowen is on Miller. Like some of us said here last week, we needed Wilks around to match up physically with Miller.

That said, it'd be nice if someone would put him on his fucking ass instead of letting him shred our defense. It's the playoffs, get physical damnit.


Actually AHF, I thought the reason for Wilks to make the playoff roster was so that we could matchup with Boykins on D.

[kskonn]

barry isnt doing shit....and our defense is horrible against miller

Barry has only been able to take one shot, and he was pentrating when he was in the game.

[Tek_XX]

wow barry goes absent ugh, why do the haters on this board get to be right.

[TMSKILZ]

You people need to stop making Wilks out to be Bruce Bowen! guy sucks!

we'll be fine.

[Crafty One]

I wonder what Duncan has left? Also Gino will have to come running out of the gates..... What the hell, did anybody see Camby take 2 freethrows??
Now that was F***** up!!! :pctoss :pctoss :pctoss :pctoss :pctoss

[kskonn]

he has played 5 minutes and only been able to get one shot off, you guys aren't going to even give him one full game?

[Tek_XX]

I love Charles Barkley, he is the closest thing to a homer that we have in the national media

[Gerryatrics]

Bones seemed to actually do a decent enough job of guarding Boykins when they were matched up. Boykins is quick enough to get past Brent, but Bones is fast enough when he gets going to stay with Boykins and use his length to shut down a lot of options.

[kskonn]

I believe pop did not want parker and duncan to pick up any cheap fouls, I don't think he thought that Beno would collapse

[ALVAREZ6]

the end of the half was the worst ever...that was bullshit.

Spurs are gonna kill these denver bitches in the 2nd half!!!!


GO SPURS!

[johnny00]

Barry DEFINITELY getting more minutes in this second half
Beno will be lucky if he sees any playing time until Saturday

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

How are the refs calling it??? Traditional playoffs calling, allowing tougher play, or just like the regular season?

[Tek_XX]

Well let's not be to hard on Beno, he made a mistake, shit happens. But it snowballed from there, not good.

[Mr. Peabody]

I love Charles Barkley, he is the closest thing to a homer that we have in the national media
Yeah, with his "the Spurs are 'technically' up by six'" :lol :lol

HEAD SHOP (http://headshop.net/)

[johnny00]

What a major catastrophe especially after that Beautiful dunk by Gino

[boutons]

damn, spurs shooting 55%, +2 RBs, +6 ASTs, +2 paint, and game is tied. Great half by the Spurs, nightmare finish it to the half, gave it all back to the Nugs, fuck fuck fuck!!!

[jmarca4]

is Big Dog Hurt? I dont see any minutes logged in? Why?

[Tek_XX]

The refs are calling it as inconsistantly as ever, like usual

[boutons]

Andre 24 pts, next Nug: 7 pts.

[Solid D]

Hey guys! I'll try to do some PBP.

[jmarca4]

Has Charles been giving the Spurs a lot of love in the media? Cant follow being Im half way around the world. lol

[Tek_XX]

shit the game started, that's what i get for watching TNT

[Solid D]

Tim in post back out to TP, 19 footer off.

Martin misses, Camby forces back up and in.

TP off screen, fouled by KMart hard.

Tim on rt block, turn and miss but fouled. (almost goes in). 2 FTs by Tim good 54-54

[Solid D]

Johnson drives and feeds to cAmby driving, knocks Manu down but he wasn't quite set. Foul on Manu 1 of 2 FTs good.

Kmart steals Tim going up with shot. then throws it o/b.

Manu from Tim baseline jam almost, but fouled. 2 FTs by Manu good. 56-55.

[totalspurshomer]

Don't just rag on Beno at the end of the half. Manu's play after that was even more stupid. Camby had pitched a tent and was roasting marshmellows over a campfire and Manu still ran right into him at full speed. :rolleyes

Manu is getting pretty close to Stockton and Vlade as one of the league's all time floppers, but even they weren't going to get a call on that boneheaded drive.

[Solid D]

Manu guarding Miller, doubled - Miller passes inside to Melo reverse good.

Manu off screen fakes drive shoots rt. wing 3, over back foul by Tim.

KMart miss inside, Tim uptempo to Nazr. DUNK!

Nazr with the block! TP to Bowen in corner, pump runner for 16 no goo.

Carmelo fouled. 2 FTs good 58-59

[Tek_XX]

[nacho estrada]

OK, why is Tony guarding Miller again????

[Solid D]

Miller 2 FTs good. Nuggets up by 1.

TP with a sweet split of defenders off screen and up and under layup good. :elephant

KMART with the outside shot good.

[Solid D]

[kskonn]

look out Miller missed a shot.....

[Solid D]

TP off Horry screen, down rt lane misses awkward, almost gets loose ball but no.

[Solid D]

Miller wing jumper, no good, Nazr reb.

TP off screen in lane over to Horry left wing for 3, YESSSS!!!!!! :elephant

[kskonn]

I am sure everyone is goint to say that barry sucked because he did not make a three, but will not mention the 3 assists that he just had

[Dre_7]

I didnt know that Parker leds the league in pts in the point for PG's?

Cool!!

[Aggie Hoopsfan]

BTW, Props to Pop for running the O through Barry and sliding Tony to the off guard slot.

[Gerryatrics]

Haha, Bones is picking the Nuggets apart with his passing! Get the man some damn touches.

[kskonn]

that looked like a goal tend

[Solid D]

73-68.

Boykins to Camby on left baseline for dunk (all alone :( )

TP drives left wraps to Nazr up for short hook, block o/b. Spurs ball timout 73-68

2:30 left in 3rd

[Tek_XX]

Spurs doing good without Duncan

[Gerryatrics]

Now if they would only play some transistion defense, they might be able to build up a decent lead. Too many lobs inside and cutters getting easy dunks.

[Tek_XX]

On the bright side this nuggets team is red hot, we're taking there best and we're still on top

[RobinsontoDuncan]

I wonder what the coaches have in mind for Robinson's playoff role

[johnny00]

Refs makin' some questionable calls

[MaNuMaNiAc]

Not a very good play here by Tony

SA 2:17 Tony Parker missed Driving layup
SA 2:10 Offensive Rebound by Nazr Mohammed
SA 2:03 Tony Parker missed 3-pt. Jump Shot
SA 1:57 Offensive Rebound by Brent Barry
SA 1:56 Travelling turnover on Tony Parker

[Gerryatrics]

Damn, all that foreplay but no happy ending. :pctoss

[kskonn]

hey who want Malik back

[Tek_XX]

wow site barrys arse down

[MaNuMaNiAc]

Nazr is the man, and everyone who doubted that is now humbled!

[jmarca4]

man, looks like nazr is eating the glass. How many rebounds does he have?

[Solid D]

Elliott pointing out 4 stitches didn't hurt Nazr at all, it seems. 4 blocks.

TP, Manu, Barry, Horry, Nazr

TP misses layup, Nazr great reb. shot reb. Barry tipped out, TP up and reverse, no travel, shuffled feet.

Stolen by Horry, back other way inside to Nazr, dunk!!!!!

Boykins short jumper swish. Man.

Barry for 3, no good Camby reb.

Boykins back quickly shoots, fouled. Earl misses 1st FT, hits 2nd. 75-73

[kskonn]

wow site barrys arse down


huh?

[Tek_XX]

Horry is not a slasher, he needs to do what he's good at

[Duncanoypi]

Big Dog! Big Dog!

[Solid D]

Horry trying to get 2 for 1 in qtr. end. misses fadeaway,

Boykins inside to Nene, great contest inside, no way Nene!!!!

Great D inside by Horry and Nazr on Nene. Horry reb.

Outlet to TP but qtr. ends. 75-73.

[Aggie Hoopsfan]

That was a dumb shot by Horry.

Nazr is a beast

[RobinsontoDuncan]

I still maintain Malik would be just as good, but solid, since no one else knows, do you have any inkling of when Robinson may show up?

[vsnba]

I don't think spurs can pull this one. Duncan not is fully healthy.

[Aggie Hoopsfan]

Why do people think Rose would be doing any good? Did you pay attention when both Tim and Nazr were out? Denver was going to the rack at will. What part of Rose's 6'4" body do you think would have been forcing Denver to reconsider any of that?

[jmarca4]

spurs better pull away. the dont have a good histroy with close playoff games. Get Big Dog in there! Barry need smor etouches it sounds like. Keep the quick updates coming for us over seas fans. ESPN GameFlow is terrible and takes ages to update.

[kskonn]

That was a dumb shot by Horry.


Nazr is a beast
I think he was trying to get a 2 for 1 at the end of the quarter. Still not the best shot in the world

[jmarca4]

is duncan not going to see any more action? Is he okay?

[kskonn]

He is in the game

[Aggie Hoopsfan]

Hey, there's something you don't see every day - Glenn Robinson hitting a jumper over somebody :lol

[Duncanoypi]

the big dog came out!

[Tek_XX]

haha the big dog barks

[Dre_7]

Bout time we see the Big Dogg!

[Aggie Hoopsfan]

I know what Horry was trying to do. But in that case I'd rather him take the three that he pump faked on prior to driving.

[xcoriate]

I still maintain Malik would be just as good

:lmao

... No



I love Charles Barkley, he is the closest thing to a homer that we have in the national media


What about Steve Kerr? The guy loves us. :lol

[jmarca4]

yes yes yes

[Solid D]

Beno, Manu, Big Dog, Tim, Horry

Spurs in zone, Person over the zone for 3 good!

Tim inside to Manu, faking out then in. layin good!!

Person again for 3, no good.

Beno for the tough layup on the rimmmm Yes!!!

Boykins to Buckner in corner, thru his hands o/b.

Big dog baseline rt. rises up for the midrange j, YES!

81-76 10:17 in 4th

[kskonn]

good move by pop he is trying to get an offensive surge so that they can just clamp down on the defense towards the end of the game

[Duncanoypi]

10:17 DEN - Full timeout (Timeout #6)
10:19 SA - G. Robinson makes a 14-foot jumper along the right baseline
10:37 DEN - G. Buckner loses the ball

I told yah!

[Aggie Hoopsfan]

Hopefully that bucket by Beno will help settle his nerves. I can't fathom why he'd think it'd be okay to leave freakin' Wesley Person wide open for three.

[jmarca4]

Gambatee SPURS! My Japanese war cry. I@m hungry, havent had breakfast yet. Im heading over to the local convenience store for sushi. Anyone want anything? A green tea slurpie perhaps? lol

[Tek_XX]

Game Is Getting Ugly

[Gerryatrics]

Way too many offensive rebounds, thankfully the Nuggets have gone cold. The Spurs aren't exactly lighting it up at the moment either though.

[ca®lo]

spurs 81 nuggets 69

6 minutes to go!

nazr has been great in this game!

[Dre_7]

We are ICE COLD!!

Good thing Denver is as cold as us!

Come on guys!

[Aggie Hoopsfan]

I'm convinced the NBA is nothing more than the WWE with a ball.

How else can you explain the ref calling a charge when Glenn Robinson's shoulder sends Buckner sprawling backwards ten feet? :lol

[Solid D]

Martin misses but Melo reb.

Miller up in lane no, great falling o/b reb . by Melo.

Timeout. 81-79.

[kskonn]

offense is not moving, need to get Barry back in to get things going

[jmarca4]

Any news on Rasho being ready for game 2? His size look slike it is needed in the paint

[Cant_Be_Faded]

i cant believe duncan is missing chip ins

we need parker/ginobili hardcore driving to the lane...get some free throw points

[Tek_XX]

the refs reward flopping we all know that

[Cant_Be_Faded]

the refs reward flopping we all know that


it would be good if they reward ginobili's flops a little to even it out

[ca®lo]

whoops sorry thats 81 - 79

lets go spurs!!

[Duncanoypi]

scoring drought for both teams....

spill it out spurs!...

Barry needs to get in...

[ca®lo]

timmy has a small cut on his finger..
