Game Blog: Spurs @ Nuggets - Dec. 16

[SpursRulez4eVeR]

td with the nice pass to dice! oh wait..

[CFH]

Nice pass by Timmy to Dice :hat

[SanAntonioSpurs23]

Lead!!!!

[NASpurs]

Spurs with the lead!!!!!!

[Spurologist]

Lead!!

[SpursRulez4eVeR]

first lead!

[GSH]

Big deal taking the lead there.

[Avitus1]

Yes!

[timtonymanu]

McDyess should have been playing all along.

[ace3g]

dice back to his Denver ways!!

[jimo2305]

grabbed the LEEAAAAAADDD!!

[DPG21920]

Spurs lead off of a great play by TP.

[CFH]

Dice slam! Spurs take the lead

[007nites]

woooooohh

[HarlemHeat37]

Jefferson needs to get aggressive, he's against one of the worst defenders in the NBA..

[falconqb1234]

dont need manu to take the league

[DPG21920]

Big shot by Melo.

[Capt Bringdown]

Finally we get the lead

[SanAntonioSpurs23]

Melo......... FUCK YOU

[CFH]

That lead didn't last long :lol

[NRHector]

:wow lots of Spurs fan over there

[DPG21920]

Terrible call. Terrible.

[timtonymanu]

Fuck! Just need some damn stops.

[InRareForm]

Worse?

Manu;s play or reggie's broadcasting tonight/

[CFH]

What's with all these calls?

[GSH]

Parker gave McDyess a nice reach-around there.


Sorry... wrap-around.

[Texas_Ranger]

This refs should suck go and sucks some dick.

[duncan228]

Keep it close, grind it out, and give themselves a chance to win...

[TE]

Horrible fucking calls impede the Spurs.

[ace3g]

Spurs get a tie, Denver answers next play, Spurs take the lead; Melo hits shot on following play....

[HarlemHeat37]

The refs have killed the Spurs in this 3rd quarter, pretty sad..

[ElNono]

We're so lethargic... and I don't even think it's being tired... maybe the altitude?

[BanditHiro]

that was a two pointer right?

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

We take the lead! Then Melo takes it back... :(

Interesting - no 3Q run from Denver. I guess it will come in the 4th.

[Spurologist]

lead lasted about 6 seconds

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

We take the lead! Then Melo takes it back... :(

Interesting - no 3Q run from Denver. I guess it will come in the 4th.

[Chieflion]

Worse?

Manu;s play or reggie's broadcasting tonight/

Manu's play. I expected this from Reggie Miller, not this from Manu.

[Trainwreck2100]

Worse?

Manu;s play or reggie's broadcasting tonight/
reggie's consistently bad so manu's play is worse

[SpursDynasty85]

Dice will/*should be the playoff starter..

[ElNono]

The refs have killed the Spurs in this 3rd quarter, pretty sad..

Bavetta needs to just call it quits

[SanAntonioSpurs23]

This refs should suck go and sucks some dick.


Huh? :lol

[Danny.Zhu]

Dyess is the Man!

[Trainwreck2100]

fuck melo's too good at the end to have it close in the 4th

[TE]

honestly, that was a bad call. there have been many tonight.


Horrible, just horrible.

[TD 21]

Duncan-McDyess paired together and all of a sudden, the layup drill has stopped. Shocking.

Parker is trying to do too much with the dribble. Nene picked up his 3rd relatively early in the third and instead of pounding it into Duncan every time down (which they should have been doing anyway) to pick up his fourth, Parker is over handling.

Key stretch coming up. Ginobili and Hill have to step up offensively when Duncan, Parker and Jefferson get their rest.

[ElNono]

Hope we get hot from downtown in the 4th... I don't think we win this by just trading baskets

[timtonymanu]

Dice will/*should be the playoff starter..

I actually think he should. If Pop does go for it, he needs to let McDyess play more.

[janetcn12]

It gonna be an interesting game...

[Spurologist]

We're so lethargic... and I don't even think it's being tired... maybe the altitude?

could be.....but everyone played at most 30 minutes yesterday

[BanditHiro]

Harrington can't miss...

[SanAntonioSpurs23]

How did the Nuggets get the ball back?

[janetcn12]

Looks like we are going to win...

[CFH]

Bonner 3!

[falconqb1234]

still dont like matt bonner

[Barfunk]

Boner!

[Sisk]

bonnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnner

[InRareForm]

that fucker harrington is 16/16 fg

[Spurologist]

BOoooooooonnnnnnneeeeeerrrrrrr 333333333333333333

[ace3g]

Harrington makes the 3, and they changed a shot earlier by the Nuggets from a 2 to a 3.

Bonner 3!!!

[tah]

Bonner 3!!

[jimo2305]

bonner said stfu harrington..

[ace3g]

tied game

[falconqb1234]

good hands tony

[Spurologist]

tp steal and the bucket!

[Cessation]

awsome play dick to tony

[DPG21920]

Lets go boys! This would be a huge win.

[GSH]

We take the lead! Then Melo takes it back... :(

Interesting - no 3Q run from Denver. I guess it will come in the 4th.



That's okay. Big psychological boost from getting over the hump and actually taking a lead. Sometimes teams almost get there, but never quite take it.

We've been slowly, steadily making up ground on them. That says we're playing consistently better. Sometimes that's better than a short run.

[CFH]

Tied back up, niceeeeeeeeeeeee

[BanditHiro]

when did the nuggets get another point?

[Sisk]

T anthony up already.. if you're going to make an anti-bitching rule use it... guy has been yapping all night

[TE]

nice defense, finally no call to impede good d.

[duncan228]

Momentum starting to switch Spurs way

[NASpurs]

Jefferson for threeeeeee

[SanAntonioSpurs23]

Rj fuck yeah!!!!!

[DPG21920]

RJ: cold blooded.

[ace3g]

RJ big 3!!!

[Spurologist]

Rrrrrrrrrjjjjjjjjjj 333333333333333333333

[CFH]

RJ 3! Make it rain!

[Danny.Zhu]

Bonner leading plus/minus...

[jimo2305]

bring out your umbrellas.. it's raining yall

[Refocus]

RJ with the 3!

[Rummpd]

Lets go Spurs!

[007nites]

jefferson!

[Sisk]

wow RJ

[falconqb1234]

rj said wet

[Cessation]

dick for 3333

[Avitus1]

Dick!

[ElNono]

Dick heating up

[tah]

Wow RJ!

[hitmanyr2k]

Carmelo is never in control when he goes to the rim. He either barrels into someone or rushes his shot.

[NASpurs]

Neal can't catch a fucking break

[TE]

another horrible call. give me a fucking break, c'mon .

[DPG21920]

Spurs need to finish this quarter out. Keep the lead.

[Texas_Ranger]

You can't touch Melo, but you can do whatever you want with Tim.

[Spurologist]

T anthony up already.. if you're going to make an anti-bitching rule use it... guy has been yapping all night

:nope

TD would've been out of the game

[DarkGinobili]

Rj!

[Capt Bringdown]

Man, Antony is tough.

[InRareForm]

is anthony carter 50 or 51 yrs old, i forgot?

[Sisk]

what the fuck are you doing hill?

[Fireball]

GH3 toe problem?

[007nites]

Air ball

[timtonymanu]

Damnit Hill, why are you a pussy today?

[DPG21920]

Ewwwwwwwwwww Hill :lol

[TE]

ugly airball by hill

[SanAntonioSpurs23]

HOLY shit this line-up sucks

[CFH]

Hill airball, eck...

[NASpurs]

Good shot George hill

[ElNono]

Hill /facepalm

[GSH]

Now we need someone to finish a play and get an and-1. That's been missing all night.

[Texas_Ranger]

Hey George you suck tonight.

[SpursRulez4eVeR]

hill with even moreeee weak shit

[DPG21920]

Get a stop.

[falconqb1234]

ill take a lead after 3 qtrs

[HarlemHeat37]

Carmelo is such an underrated Corey Maggette/Kevin Martin type of foul drawer..he jumps into the defender and picks up BS fouls as well as anybody in the NBA..such a piece of shit..

Hopefully this is a 1-time thing for Hill, he was making so much progress..

[Cessation]

great d by spurs

[007nites]

what a fucken game

[Avitus1]

Spurs!

[timtonymanu]

1 pt lead. Now let's play the best 4th qtr we can.

[CFH]

Spurs up by 1 at the end of the 3rd, let's go!

[ace3g]

Bonner leading plus/minus...

Bonner must be paying the stats guy all these years or has incriminating photos of someone...

[TE]

that was an offense foul on whoever pushed mcdyess....honestly, fuck these refs. seriously

[Spurologist]

Spurs would a 1 pt lead into the 4th :wow

who would've thought.....finally some people playing better

Hill is welcome to join the party

[SpursDynasty85]

they fouled george hill.

[DPG21920]

Spurs went on that run they needed. Great job. Now they have to execute, get some good minutes from the bench and let Tim and the rest finish it off.

[jimo2305]

i really hope we win this one tho.. now that the world has the opportunity to watch us cream one of their constant media overhyped teams

[ElNono]

Hopefully this is a 1-time thing for Hill, he was making so much progress..

He sucked yesterday too... make that a 2-time thing...
He used to atleast get to the line... he's not even attacking now

[Dex]

Hopefully Tim still has some legs left for the fourth.

[TE]

Bonner must be paying the stats guy all these years or has incriminating photos of someone...
:lmao

[Manu20]

WOW spurs are a scary team..........Manu and Hill playing like dogs and yet the spurs up by heading to the 4th Q against a good Denver team.

[janetcn12]

I can feel we are going to win tonight...Denver u will be left in the cold

[007nites]

Hopefully Pop doesn't put timmy out there too late

[NASpurs]

It's obvious Manu is going to start the 4th quarter. If he's not going to score, at least be a play maker for the rest of the team.

[ElNono]

Somebody gotta get hot... Can't play TD the entire 4th

[jestersmash]

The best player on our team is 1-8 with 5 points and we are winning this game. Talk about balance.

[jimo2305]

hill'splayin hurt..

[Sisk]

:nope

TD would've been out of the game

TD bitched during a T.O. and anything else has been a simple gesture. Anthony is bitching while the ball is still live.

[TE]

WOW spurs are a scary team..........Manu and Hill playing like dogs and yet the spurs up by heading to the 4th Q against a good Denver team.


It's manu's time. (fourth quarter)

[Dex]

Bonner must be paying the stats guy all these years or has incriminating photos of someone...

Bonner is like that guy who shows up to work, flies under the radar, doesn't really do shit but pipes up every now and then around the boss, and ends up being first in line for special projects and promotions.

[ducks]

The best player on our team is 1-8 with 5 points and we are winning this game. Talk about balance.

:lol:lol:lol:lol:lol:lol:lol:lol:lol:lol:lol:lol:l ol:lol:lol:lol:lol

[Fireball]

they fouled george hill.

yeah, JRS grabbed him, otherwise George would have gotton to the ball and possibly 2 easy points

[ElNono]

Both teams are one scoring dry spell away from losing this game... hope it's the Nuggets

[TE]

hill'splayin hurt..

It looks like something is wrong with him.

[TD 21]

Minutes piling up for Duncan, Parker, Jefferson. Still, Pop should go back to all at under 9 timeout.

Ginobili needs to get his head into the game and stop jacking lazy threes. They need him to carry offense for at least a few minutes.

McDyess needs to stay in and only come out once Duncan returns. If Pop plays a Blair-Bonner pairing, the Nuggets will have a field day at the rim.

[Borosai]

A Spur was undercut on that last shot. Old refs are old.

[SanAntonioSpurs23]

Tims best game of the season isn't it?

[Spurologist]

a steal is within reach if someone can get hot......GGINOBLI?????

[007nites]

timmy should have 6 blocks on his stat sheet. Thats some BS right there.

[jestersmash]

This message is hidden because ducks is on your ignore list.

I fucking love the ignore list function.

[ElNono]

If we have a 30+ quarter, I like our chances

[GSH]

Spurs went on that run they needed. Great job. Now they have to execute, get some good minutes from the bench and let Tim and the rest finish it off.


Better than a run. They slowly, steadily ate into the lead and then took over. Short bursts the other team comes back from. The Nuggets got dominated, and they know it.

[Dex]

George Karl just called Parker hot. :wow :lol

[WildcardManu]

D is starting to show up.

[Fireball]

this is one of those games where TD and TP immediately realize that their teammates will suck ... and they produce

[Dex]

C'mon Bonner....Plus some of those minuses.

[DPG21920]

Come on bench, do work. We need guys like Neal and Hill to hit shots and battle on defense.

[jimo2305]

gawwd shut up reggie.. RJ didnt even touch him..

[Capt Bringdown]

Don't know about this lineup

[Spurologist]

I hope manu gets some more burn

[WildcardManu]

Damn, as much as i like J.R. I hate him when Spurs play him.

[CFH]

Dice J

[SanAntonioSpurs23]

Dice <3

[Avitus1]

Dice!

[DPG21920]

Neal on RJ is a really, really tough match up.

[NASpurs]

5 fouls on Neal? Out you go

[ace3g]

Dice in "denver era" mode

[Cessation]

That dice jumper is nice.

[BanditHiro]

how is that a shooting foul?

[SanAntonioSpurs23]

Damn, as much as i like J.R. I hate him when Spurs play him.


People like JR?

[Dex]

Neal on RJ is a really, really tough match up.

It's better than Ime.

[ElNono]

Its a free throw parade :sleep

[Capt Bringdown]

Wow, Neal just getting abused by Smith

[DPG21920]

Pop is buying some time. He has to. This line up has to keep it close. Spurs minutes, especially Tim and Manu are still relatively low and if he can hold them out for another 2-3 minutes, he won't have to "overplay" them.

[GSH]

I don't know why you guys get upset. Reggie Miller and Jon Barry always say stupid shit. It's what they do. I'm just glad they don't announce together.

[Cant_Be_Faded]

Gotta put Manu in as playmaker, hope we have a lead around 7 minute mark so the shock troops can come in and close it out.

[Spurologist]

Neal on RJ is a really, really tough match up.

I'm sure Dick would actually love that matchup

[timtonymanu]

McDyess Duncan RJ Manu Tony. Play that Pop.

[DPG21920]

Great cut and pass.

[SanAntonioSpurs23]

It's Manu time

[CFH]

Manuuuuuuuuuuuuu, nice pass from Hill

[ace3g]

It's Manu time

[Spurologist]

manuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu

[ace3g]

manu again!!!

[CFH]

Manu feeling it

[jimo2305]

HAHAHA MANU!!! u reach.. i teach!!

[InRareForm]

manuu

[NASpurs]

Two baskets in a row for Manu

[SpursRulez4eVeR]

step back! manu!

[timtonymanu]

Manu heating up.

[tah]

Manu's doing his thing

[DPG21920]

Gino heating up would be huge obviously...

[falconqb1234]

wait. did matt bonner just get a rebound?

[ace3g]

lol Manu

[WildcardManu]

oooooooooooooooooooooooooooh ginobiliiiii!!

[Danny.Zhu]

Finally Manu...

[DPG21920]

[ElNono]

[Rummpd]

[SpursRulez4eVeR]

[NASpurs]

Manu is on fire!!!!!

[Sisk]

HAHAHA wow ginobili.. wow..

[TampaDude]

Ginobili!!!!!

[Spurologist]

mmmmmmaaaaaaannnnnnnuuuuuuuuu 33333333333333333333333333333333333

[boutons_deux]

what quarter is it? :lol

[Refocus]

Fucking LOVE Ginobili.

[DarkGinobili]

Manu 3!

[Chieflion]

Manu time!

[Texas_Ranger]

Manu!

[TE]

uhhh fuck yeah! get the fuck off that man (ginobili)

[CFH]

Manu tresssssssssssssss! YAAAAAAAAA BOIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII! :D

[Dex]

Ginobili waking up. :smokin

[HarlemHeat37]

Can't wait until Anderson comes back..I like Chooch, but he shouldn't be a big-minute player, especially when his shot is off..

Manu heating up, finally..

Anthony bailing the Spurs out by shooting a fadeaway J over McDyess:lol..typical..

:lol Wow, Manu, stop hurting them..here we go, it's his time..

[007nites]

Ginobili!

[GSH]

Neal just sent a big F-you to Reggie Miller for that comment about not being able to match up with Smith.

[jimo2305]

maaaanuuuuuuuuuuuuu!!!!!!


denver gettin' some hot feelin' of nostalgia right about now

[DPG21920]

That dude is, well, he is Manu Ginobili. He's a bad man.

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

Hi Manu, welcome to the game. ;)

[SpursDynasty85]

lol. Ginobili is as close to Kobe as the league has..:P

[Cessation]

GINOBLI IS GOD!! hes taking a huge dump on spurs talk

[Pauleta14]

Manu Freaking Ginoooooobiliiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii iiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii

I knew it!!!!!

[BoricuaCJA]

Manuuuuuu!!!

[Danny.Zhu]

Manu again!

[Spurologist]

a steal is within reach if someone can get hot......GGINOBLI?????

[Rummpd]

holy fuck manu!

This!

[Sisk]

ducks :cry

[TimDunkem]

Bonner, and McDyess switching on Carmelo actually worked pretty well tonight.

[SanAntonioSpurs23]

Hey i'll take being down by 3 at the half.....

I'm thinking Manu comes out in the 2nd half and plays well (especially in the 4th)

LET's GO SPURS!!!!


Cheers to me

[007nites]

Timmy coming in soon as well!

[Barfunk]

You don't fuck with CHERNOBLY

[DPG21920]

Neal actually made a great defenisve play against JR that last trip down....very good battle from him on a player that is clearly more gifted.

[boutons_deux]

If that guy is Manu, this must be the 4th!

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

GINOBLI IS GOD!! hes taking a huge dump on spurs talk

No, he's PWNing the haters. Most of ST understands his brilliance. ;)

[awktalk]

Did you guys see how Bonner spaced the floor on that Manu tres? Money.

[Dex]

Can't wait until Anderson comes back..I like Chooch, but he shouldn't be a big-minute player, especially when his shot is off..

Manu heating up, finally..

Anthony bailing the Spurs out by shooting a fadeaway J over McDyess:lol..typical..

:lol Wow, Manu, stop hurting them..here we go, it's his time..

Neal was perfect in the role he was playing originally. Spot shooter off the bench, resting and guarding opposing guards.

It will definitely be nice once Anderson get backs, if not only to have another guy with some length to put on guys like JR.

[Cessation]

you never worry about manus game, in the fourth he plays better most times

[NASpurs]

Can't wait until Anderson comes back..I like Chooch, but he shouldn't be a big-minute player, especially when his shot is off..

Manu heating up, finally..

Anthony bailing the Spurs out by shooting a fadeaway J over McDyess:lol..typical..

:lol Wow, Manu, stop hurting them..here we go, it's his time..

lol I read that as Cooch

[WildcardManu]

4th quarter is manu time?

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

That dude is, well, he is Manu Ginobili. He's a bad man.

Thankfully, he's OUR bad man! :lmao

[DPG21920]

Who is sh*tting on SpursTalk??????????????????

The answer is Manu. Manu is sh*tting on SpursTalk.

[TD 21]

Much better rotation by Pop in 2nd half and you see the result.

Spurs could really use Anderson against power three's like Anthony. Other than Jefferson, they have no one who can even come close to being able to physically guard him. Glad Pop hasn't resorted to Udoka on him.

[Dex]

Manu traveled on both of those. :rolleyes

[timtonymanu]

Like I said, Manu will have a huge 4th.

[NRHector]

it was just a matter of time for the man to show up

[jestersmash]

Does this still surprise anybody? Look up Ginobili's splits in the 4th

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

4th quarter is manu time?

This is a surprise to you? It always has been.

[ducks]

manu got a easy layup by hill to get him going
why did he not get a layup earlier
FUCKING IDIOT

[anonoftheinternets]

manu :)

[Cessation]

No, he's PWNing the haters. Most of ST understands his brilliance. ;)

yes

[GSH]

Who is sh*tting on SpursTalk??????????????????

The answer is Manu. Manu is sh*tting on SpursTalk.

I could swear I heard something quack.

[TJastal]

Neal was perfect in the role he was playing originally. Spot shooter off the bench, resting and guarding opposing guards.

It will definitely be nice once Anderson get backs, if not only to have another guy with some length to put on guys like JR.

Nice point.
