[benefactor]

see how good this team looks with temple out there instead of mason i seriously hope temple takes masons spot in the playoffs
Mason will lose all his minutes to Hill.

[boutons_deux]

weird game. Nuggets gonna sleepwalk it, and give it away?

[Spurs Brazil]

I'd still rather see him in the game over Mason. Hell, I'd rather see my 10 yr old daughter in the game over Mason.

True.

I'd rather play 4 guys

[CFH]

I go and take a shower during the half and I see the lead is up to 10. I guess I need to take showers during the half more often. :lol

[benefactor]

True.

I'd rather play 4 guys
:tu :lol

[boutons_deux]

seems like the Nuggs are losing it, rather than the Spurs winning it.

Anything that gets them out of 8th.

[benefactor]

Bail out foul.

[Spurs Brazil]

Nuggets getting a lot of calls in the 3rd

[SpursRulez4eVeR]

lol nugg commentators said the spurs don't let opponents get back into the game

[Death In June]

Too many fouls, both ways.

[benefactor]

lol nugg commentators said the spurs don't let opponents get back into the game
lol

[Libri]

Billups in a Spurs uniform would kick ass.

[Spurs Brazil]

Another foul

Let them play

[Spurs Brazil]

We need to attack Carmelo. He has 3PFs

[Supergirl]

if Spurs would make their FTs this game would be ov-ah.

[Rummpd]

Duncan raped and no call

[SpursRulez4eVeR]

i don't think billups has given the ball to melo this quarter..lol

[Libri]

Worth giving up TP? Not sure how old Billups is.

33 years

[Spursox]

Duncan is forcing his shoots...

[benefactor]

We need to attack Carmelo. He has 3PFs
With all the whistles they should have done it a long time ago.

[benefactor]

Bang!

[Spurs Brazil]

Manu tres!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Spursox]

Manu for three

[TJastal]

nice defense on Billups by Parker.. Dice is really a factor on the boards

[raspsa]

McDyess in warrior-mode!

[Supergirl]

Every time Manu makes a three these announcers say "it's a Manu tres." Gettin' a little old.

In related news, I am also sick of every Mason 3 being described as "Roger that!"

[Spursox]

I like McDyess hustle tonight!

[benefactor]

This is like the game last night with reversed roles.

[m33p0]

6:02 SA - M. Ginobili makes a 25-foot three-pointer from the right wing. Assist: T. Parker
6:08 SA - A. McDyess defensive rebound
6:09 DEN - C. Anthony misses a 19-foot jumper along the right baseline
6:23 SA - T. Parker makes a 21-foot jumper from the right corner. Assist: M. Ginobili
they do know how to play together

[SASPURS09]

gamecast has spurs 61 den 54 with 5 min to go in first half

[Spursox]

Pop should tell RJ to never shoot a jump shot, just drive the ball!

[Ice009]

Why is Pop ripping TP?????

[Spurs Brazil]

Pop mad at Tony

[raspsa]

Pop tearing into Parker.. welcome back Tony.

[Spurs Brazil]

Good timeout

[Duncan21kid]

As soon as tony comes in and manu goes out Denver gets momentum.
You dumbass tp fans...

[Amuseddaysleeper]

Ugh, after putitng the Nuggs through a huge scoring drought, they are only down 6

I hope the Spurs can dig deep

[ohmwrecker]

Why is Dice hustling on plays now?
Post season Dice in effect!

[SpursRulez4eVeR]

Pop mad at Tony

for that billups three

[Supergirl]

don't fall apart Spurs. keep the pressure on. no stupid 3's.

[Banzai]

Go Spurs...beat the McNuggets!

[benefactor]

As soon as tony comes in and manu goes out Denver gets momentum.
You dumbass tp fans...
If TP wasn't playing tonight the Spurs would be getting mauled.

[Spursox]

Billips is one bad motha!

[Spursox]

I like Bogans on Billips

[TJastal]

Bogans in the game ... i'm actually happy to see him rather than Roger

[SASPURS09]

time to pull the starters

[Libri]

great hustle by Dice

[m33p0]

shot chart shows the nuggs taking a lot of shots on the right wing.... and missing all of them

[itzsoweezee]

mcydess is a bad ass

[Spurs Brazil]

great job Dice, too bad we couldn't score

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

Those O boards from Dice is more like he played for the Pistons. Want to see more of that.

[Libri]

Yup, Bogans gets fouled.

[SuperManu!!!]

TP should be traded. I don't care about his numbers, you can see that the game changes badly when he is on court.

[SpursRulez4eVeR]

make your gummies pleaseeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee

[Spursox]

Timmy has really sucked on FT these past couple of games...FOCUS!

[Supergirl]

apparently someone told Duncan his FT record this season was halfway decent - he had to go an fuck that up.

[TJastal]

Parker and Duncan manufacturing easy points

[ohmwrecker]

TP should be traded. I don't care about his numbers, you can see that the game changes badly when he is on court.
Pipe down, you goofy bastard.

[SpursRulez4eVeR]

thank god the TD and his passing..

[Spurs Brazil]

DAMN FTs

[boutons_deux]

Spurs FTs have gone to hell these past couple weeks

[SASPURS09]

spurs by 10

[SuperManu!!!]

Pipe down, you goofy bastard.

I will pipe down you goofy bastard when Piggy parker can make 2 consecutives FTs

[Death In June]

Bogans, ugh.

[Spursox]

Bonner with a high percentage shot!

[Spursox]

Terrible end of the quarter execution!

[alchemist]

Parker had a lot of time left why didn't he drive?

[Spurs Brazil]

Spurs up 8 after the 3rd

[Refocus]

:flag:

[tothrowed]

damn jefferson just got crossed, damn thats where we miss hill, hill would of got fouled and dhot 3 shots parker gets blocked.....

[itzsoweezee]

if bonner gets major minutes in the fourth quarter, i'm going to fucking scream.

[siraulo23]

I'll take the 8 point lead

[SpursRulez4eVeR]

Parker had a lot of time left why didn't he drive?

he knew hes gonna get beat

[easy7]

What an ugly game...but I take it if its a win.

[BillMc]

1 quarter to go...

[Amuseddaysleeper]

Hopefully we see a lot of Gino in the fourth.

Please hang on Spurs, you've outscored the Nuggs every quarter and played great D.

[SuperManu!!!]

Fucking Parker, it makes all the offensive flow slow......i miss GHill

[CFH]

Up by 8 going into the fourth, hold the lead and what's up with all the missed fts??? It's frustrating when guys keep missing gimmies.

[ohmwrecker]

The Spurs really need to tighten up on D. I hope they have the juice to close this out.

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

The Manu vs TP stuff is getting fucking old. :rolleyes

How about rather than either/or, BOTH.

[benefactor]

if bonner gets major minutes in the fourth quarter, i'm going to fucking scream.
He has to play some. Dyess can't play the whole damn game.

[Supergirl]

Spurs up by 8 despite being 3-14 from 3 pt land and 9-17 for their FTs.

outrebounding the Nuggets 35-23.

[pjjrfan]

Move the ball around tony, please!!!!!

[Blackjack]

Damn, I've heard of milking the clock, but c'mon, Tony. :lol

I know he's rusty but the balls got to change sides of the floor or find someone else before there's 10 sec. on the shotclock.

Let's go boys . . .

[Supergirl]

oh, apparently they're only up 7 because the refs decide to give the Nuggets an extra point.

[tothrowed]

manu > tp , when tp has the ball noone moves and he doesnt pass it he waits until ots to late to pass

[Spursox]

Where was Jefferson on that three?

[pjjrfan]

ball movement

[pjjrfan]

Why doesn't anyone shoot

[m33p0]

manu better start taking more shots

[tothrowed]

TP should be traded. I don't care about his numbers, you can see that the game changes badly when he is on court.
this dude is rite whole different game with tony in, if yall dont believe me lookw hat happened when tony came back from his first injury, tony scores but he changes the game up in a bad way

[alchemist]

good ole TP

[Spurs Brazil]

WAKE up

[Ice009]

Fucking pathetic pass bogans.

Fuck.

[TJastal]

Parker has gotta come to that pass .. not all Bogans' fault

[Spursox]

Was Carter with our team a couple of years ago?

[pjjrfan]

somebody get a board

[alchemist]

blair just standing around....awesome buddy

[Spursox]

Bonner just not athletic enough to react on that play

[itzsoweezee]

lol bonner, trying to rebound

[Amuseddaysleeper]

Very very surprised to see Ginoi barely attacking the rim. Nice to see him have some FT's coming up now

[SASPURS09]

temple in = spurs give up

[Death In June]

Everyone sucking with their FTs.

[Spurs Brazil]

Fuck, even Manu missing FTs

[Spursox]

ok...Garrett is in..Let's see how the momentum shifts

[Ice009]

Blair is fucking low IQ.

You silly idiot DB.

[Spurs Brazil]

Good job Manu, keep attacking and make FTs

[tothrowed]

look what happens when manu has the ball and not tony... there is yalls proof

[Libri]

Manu with a wicked behind the pass dribble.

[Spursox]

OH..Oh...The Franchise...needs a helmet

[Libri]

Mason is in.

[Spursox]

Oh shit.....Mason is in

[SpursRulez4eVeR]

temple in = spurs give up

no, it means its manu time, bro!

[tothrowed]

no temple is a good player mason is the one that sucks

[Amuseddaysleeper]

The Nuggs have had a tough time with the officials tonight.

I'll take it :lol

[Spurs Brazil]

T on Smith

[Supergirl]

Nuggets showing their true colors this game, acting like punks

[duncan228]

Nuggets imploding.

[alchemist]

look what happens when manu has the ball and not tony... there is yalls proof
When TP is playing his game (attacking and kicking) he makes the team so much better. But when he plays this top of the key hot potato shit he makes the team worse.

[TJastal]

lol nuggets imploding.. blatant shove by Smith on Temple...

[Supergirl]

Temple misses his first FT...welcome to the Spurs. sigh.

[SpursRulez4eVeR]

JR 6th man of the spurs for tonight...

[Ice009]

FOR FUCKS SAKE what is Pop doing putting Mason in, in crunch time.


LOL FUCK YOU POP.

[Spursox]

Garret in....spurs up by 13

[pjjrfan]

look at the difference in ball movement, and hustle, when Manu is in there.

[TJastal]

Bonner with a big dagger wooot

[Spurs Brazil]

Bonner 33333333333333333333333333333333333333333333

Great help on D by Temple

[Tp9gospursgo]

Bonner with the dagger!!

[Refocus]

Bonner is playing great.

[Amuseddaysleeper]

Matt Bonner is a bad baaaaaaadddd man

:lmao

[raspsa]

Bonner WOW!

[benefactor]

Bonner in BEAST mode!

[cnyc3]

Bonner 33333

manu showing why he is worth every penny

[CFH]

Bonn3r!!!

[Supergirl]

man, this would be sweet win, esp if the Spurs wind up facing this team in the first round.

[Libri]

ooh, two great plays by Bonner

[SpursRulez4eVeR]

am i :drunk ?

[pawe]

Yes Bonner a steal and a three

[tothrowed]

temple playing d... see what happens when manu has the ball, yall parker lovers and if your a real spurs fan have to admit its better to have manu with the ball....

[Dunc n Dave]

Good to see Bonner hit one, AND make a good steal on the other end.

[Blackjack]

[pjjrfan]

When TP is playing his game (attacking and kicking) he makes the team so much better. But when he plays this top of the key hot potato shit he makes the team worse.

this is true, but when he is not, he doesn't know the difference, and that's not good for this team.

[Manudona]

Fuck, even Manu missing FTs

I thought he missed one too, but not according to nba boxscore

http://www.nba.com/games/20100410/SASDEN/gameinfo.html?ls=gt2hp0020901192

[Supergirl]

Spurs bench outscoring Nuggets bench 23-12. Of course, that's with Parker off the bench.

[Ginobili2Duncan]

What's with all of the Parker bashing?

[benefactor]

Bonner...5pts, 3reb, 3stl in 12 minutes.

[Spurs Brazil]

I thought he missed one too, but not according to nba boxscore

http://www.nba.com/games/20100410/SASDEN/gameinfo.html?ls=gt2hp0020901192

Maybe it's because they called Blair for a lane violation

[ohmwrecker]

9 missed FTs. We make those, the game is over right now.

[SpursRulez4eVeR]

I thought he missed one too, but not according to nba boxscore

http://www.nba.com/games/20100410/SASDEN/gameinfo.html?ls=gt2hp0020901192

lane violation on blair, but manu did miss the FT

[Spursox]

some cholas in Denver

[Naelven]

It is damn annoying to see all those GinoFan comment on TP...

Really, I like the spurs, I like all players....We all know the value of Ginnobili and Parker...Can"t you just shut your mouth and do be friendly with all players.

Gino and TP are friends in life and they like to play alltogether...

All those comments make non sense at all.

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

Fark. Make a FT for fucksake.

[pjjrfan]

manu playing smart ball, and RJ still sucks

[ohmwrecker]

Man, the Nuggets are dumb.

[SpursRulez4eVeR]

bullshit FT BBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBUUUUUUUUUULLLLLLLLLLLLLLLSSS SSSSSHHHHHHIIIIIIIIITTTTTTTTTTTTT

[Spursox]

We suck at free throws...Does Pop ever after them for this? We have always sucked at them..He must be not give a shit about them

[Manudona]

lane violation on blair, but manu did miss the FT

That is what happens when you are watching the game in Portuguese (thanks nba league pass and raptors tv for screwing me) and read the forums simultaneously

[m33p0]

What's with all of the Parker bashing?
welcome to spurstalk.

[pjjrfan]

make your ft's dude

[SASPURS09]

gotdam 2 blowout wins in a row at Den?

[SpursRulez4eVeR]

Welcome to the world of the modern sports fan... :rolleyes

The Nuggets IQ keeps falling and falling.

[alchemist]

manu as pg > tp as pg

[benefactor]

Why is it we beat the awesome teams and lose to the shitty teams
We were wondering the exact opposite earlier in the season.

[Supergirl]

what was that about the Nuggets bball iq dropping fast if you take out Billups? LOL. Billups is too good for this team.

[m33p0]

8:35 sa - d. Blair offensive rebound
8:37 sa - d. Blair misses a layup
8:37 sa - d. Blair offensive rebound
8:39 sa - d. Blair misses a tip in
8:39 sa - d. Blair offensive rebound
8:41 sa - m. Ginobili misses a 6-foot jumper in the lane
omg

[Spurs Brazil]

Another great help D by Temple

[SASPURS09]

where the Denver fans?

[Spursox]

Blair and Tony playing good ball together...

[TJastal]

Can I just say this is the biggest win of the year so far... thumping the #2 seed and completely dominating them on their home floor is HUGE confidence booster

And we did this with no George Hill and Parker looks brillant coming off the bench

[SpursRulez4eVeR]

8:55DeJuan Blair defensive rebound

8:41Manu Ginobili misses 6-foot two point shot

8:38DeJuan Blair misses tip shot

[Death In June]

Time to sit Manu. Game is over, let the guy rest.

[SpursRulez4eVeR]

Time to sit Manu. Game is over, let the guy rest.

not really...don't believe the nuggs commentators..

[Spursox]

Second hook attempt by Bonner...Lets shelf that shit

[Ginobili2Duncan]

The Spurs seem to be the one of the best teams in the nba at keeping the Pepsi Center quiet.

[alchemist]

bonner hustling. bonner 3pt foul. :lmao :downspin:

[Death In June]

lol anthony. What a giant vag.

[benefactor]

lol Melo

[Spursox]

Carmelo out of the game...

[pawe]

GTFO thug!

[Supergirl]

LOL Anthony is thrown out. GOOD.

[duncan228]

Bye Melo.

[Spurs Brazil]

Melo is done

That's why Denver will go no where. They are a bunch of DUMB player

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

Well, we sure as hell know that the Nuggets aren't going far this year.

Atrocious performance by them.

[SASPURS09]

Melo = null on gamecast

[Libri]

That Carmelo foul on Bonner is an example of Nugget stupidity.

[Charles Sappa]

manu as pg > tp as pg

We have two pg.

[Cherry]

bye bye Melo

[Spursox]

Yes, I wouldnt mind Denver in the first round...

[Ginobili2Duncan]

Spurs are in the Nuggets' heads, feels like the good old days.

[TDomination]

Gosh manu missing the T, this thing is a virus

[Obstructed_View]

And predictably the Denver fans start throwing shit.

[Tp9gospursgo]

Why did melo say anything he clearly fouled him

[Velo]

Elliott!
"This Team needs Karl and a Therapist desperately.

[TDomination]

And predictably the Denver fans start throwing shit.
did they really throw stuff?

[tothrowed]

you see this is why i want the nuggets and, many to blair is so pretty we play much better with manu than parker, manu to blair > parker to blair

[benefactor]

This mentally weak team doesn't deserve to be a top three seed.

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

Melo is done

That's why Denver will go no where. They are a bunch of DUMB player

They need to get rid of their cancer (JR) and get a tough coach who will make the whole team accountable. Someone like Skiles.

[Supergirl]

Anthony gets thrown out of the game after giving his opponent a chance to have 5 FT shots. Now THAT is called "low basketball IQ."

[Spurologist]

The one nuggets announcer has been the only nugget fan that is showing class in that whole arena.

....and people wonder why Denver never gets picked to win a championship

[easy7]

Nuggets are falling apart like some of the people here after a Spurs loss..

[senorglory]

I'm listening to the game (not available on tv here), what the heck did Carmelo do to get ejected?

[Supergirl]

did they really throw stuff?

yes, the announcers said they almost got hit.

[Spurs Brazil]

Nene is also out

[SpursRulez4eVeR]

yea tony brothers!!! way to go !

[CFH]

So many fouls. :lol

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

I don't think Melo would be like he is if JR and Kmart weren't also there. Take away his dickhead buddies and he'd probably straighten up his act.

[m33p0]

playoff series will go like this: Nuggets take Game 1, Spurs sweep the next 4.

[TDomination]

yes, the announcers said they almost got hit.

lol, wow. this totally takes me back to 2005 when Manu just tore denver apart

[Spurs Brazil]

The one nuggets announcer has been the only nugget fan that is showing class in that whole arena.

....and people wonder why Denver never gets picked to win a championship

True, they're good

[Supergirl]

I'm listening to the game (not available on tv here), what the heck did Carmelo do to get ejected?

for being a douchebag.

He clearly fouled Bonner on a 3 point shot (DUMB) and then started jawing with the refs and trying to incite the fans (DUMB) which got him hit with 2 techs. Because he's STUPID. Unlike Lebron James, he has not increased his bball IQ at all since he was drafted.

[Spursox]

Tony left the game with us being up by 6...Garrett comes in the we are up by how many?

[SASPURS09]

get parker n rj out now

[Tp9gospursgo]

playoff series will go like this: Nuggets take Game 1, Spurs sweep the next 4.

Sounds very familiar...

[Crookshanks]

Man - this is hilarious! I didn't get to start watching the game until the 4th quarter. Are the Nuggets really playing this badly, or are the Spurs finally getting a game where the calls are going our way?

[Spursmania]

Nuggets are falling apart like some of the people here after a Spurs loss..

Nuggets decompensated like your avatar pic:lol

[pawe]

Agreed. get the starters outta there.

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

I'm listening to the game (not available on tv here), what the heck did Carmelo do to get ejected?


Not much. He talked back to the ref after fouling Bonner on a 3 and pulled a T, also his 6th foul I think.

[kjhip1]

its funny to see the NUGGETS crumble....

[duncan228]

Nuggets are falling apart like some of the people here after a Spurs loss..

:lol

[ginobme]

I don't think Melo would be like he is if JR and Kmart weren't also there. Take away his dickhead buddies and he'd probably straighten up his act.

And replace those guys with who?? Role players who care about winning more than making ESPN's top ten....no...that would just be boring....[sarcasm]

[Spurs Brazil]

See Pop, that's what you should do yesterday. Play TD normal minutes, we'd get a win in the 3rd quarter and TD would rest

[Crookshanks]

The Nuggets are just imploding. If the Spurs had played with half this effort last night, this would be our 50th win!

[SpursRulez4eVeR]

5:48DeJuan Blair misses free throw 1 of 2
5:48San Antonio offensive team rebound

5:48Matt Bonner makes free throw 2 of 2


wtf?

[pawe]

Look at that ugly mug! Martin is the thug of all thugs!

[siraulo23]

wow. even billups?

[Spursox]

I want to play Denver Thuggets in the first round

[Supergirl]

man I want the Nuggets in the first round now.

[Crookshanks]

Even the Denver announcers are wonding how the Spurs lost last night :lol

[Charles Sappa]

Manu with +26 EFF, 7 A - 1 TO. Good game

[Osnofa]

Attaboys!

[Death In June]

This is great. I mean, it makes for a boring game. But it's pretty damn hilarious.

[raspsa]

Billups Technical.. I thought he was smarter than that..

[kjhip1]

its funny to see how much of a bad A$$ K-mart thinks he and his speech impediment are...

[Obstructed_View]

lol, wow. this totally takes me back to 2005 when Manu just tore denver apart

Or way back when Bernie Bickerstaff had to get on the PA and tell the Denver fans to stop throwing coins and ice cubes at the Spurs and the officials.

[Spurologist]

I thought Billups would've changed the attitude of the Nuggets team but i'm afraid it's the other way around

[pawe]

Oh man, if ever the Spurs face the nuggets in the playoffs, that team is gonna get skull f*cked specially without their coach.

[TDomination]

Temple like that corner!

[Libri]

Temple with a beautiful corner 3.

[Crookshanks]

So how many fouls have been called this game? This reminds me of that Spurs/Dallas game back in 2003.
