Game Blog: Nuggets @ Spurs - Jan. 16

[CFH]

Neal J

[TDomination]

spurs down 2! we were down 12 a few seconds ago

[DPG21920]

Tiago is awesome on defense. He really has a noticeable impact on that end. He is very calm defensively.

[Bartleby]

Having Manu out there is like having a coach on the floor.

[SpursRulez4eVeR]

hill is just god awful when he plays with manu

[NASpurs]

NO! It's Gary Neal. When are you guys gonna stop with that asinine nickname?

Please go wash the sand out of your vagina and then come back to the thread. Thank you.

[InRareForm]

Spurs offense comign alive now. Keep the TO's down and we should be fine

[CFH]

Manu AND 1!

[Werdsniper2]

Neal getting hot.

[Cessation]

OMG classic manue circus shot!@!!!!

[HarlemHeat37]

Splitter is already an above average NBA defender, it has been evident all year..

Obviously his offense is very mediocre though, and it doesn't help when he plays with other players that can't create for him..he's gonna have to do some serious offensive training with Pop and the other coaches during the off-season..

[Dexter..]

Manu 3-point play.

[Bartleby]

That will be on the top ten reel for sure.

[DPG21920]

:wow Manu.

That was some fast a** play right there. Denver score, push the ball immediately and Manu balls.

[spurspokesman]

Manu is awesome I swear

[Tp9gospursgo]

omg MANU! AND 1!

[Spursmania]

I'll take that - much better than the train reference.

Totally agree with you:toast

[DPG21920]

4 fouls an Al Harrington.

[CFH]

Harrington has 4 fouls already? Wow...

[Werdsniper2]

Hill: 9 minutes, 0 points, 2 assists, 2 TO

[Cant_Be_Faded]

Smith has engaged Spurs Killer Mode.

Unfortunately for his team, Manu has enabled Nugget Eradication Mode.

[TDomination]

someones gotta come back and help hill

[Tp9gospursgo]

J.R had his hands all over Hill

[CFH]

Another turnover? Come on...

[Trainwreck2100]

Not hills fault he was left in no mans land

[Crookshanks]

That should've been a foul on JR

[timtonymanu]

That toe injury fucked up Hill.

[DPG21920]

Spurs with TP and TD need to keep the energy up. Can't have a let up from what the 2nd unit did.

[Barfunk]

Sad thing is that spectacular behind the back and 1 by Ginobili will miss the top 10 in favor of some guy reeling in a fish.

[Dexter..]

Nice give and go.

[TDomination]

parker back to back baskets!

[CFH]

Parker beasting

[DPG21920]

TP finishing like TP do.

[TDomination]

haha, parker!!!!

[spurspokesman]

RJ is playing decent D so far

[DPG21920]

Game is frantic right now and TP is sooooooooooooooo wet.

[Dexter..]

Parker knocks down another!

[CFH]

Parker is on fiyaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!

[Spurologist]

tp taking OVER!

[SpursRulez4eVeR]

wow tony is making everything

[timtonymanu]

TP again.

[CFH]

Rj 3!

[TDomination]

rj with the 3!!!

[Crookshanks]

Woo-hoo! The Spurs are cooking with gas right now!

[Cessation]

fuck yah dick j with the triple!!

[Barfunk]

and just like that...

[Pauleta14]

I love this team !!!!!!

[Tp9gospursgo]

Woo!

[DPG21920]

Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh hahhhhhhh. Spurs lead.

Spurs playing well. It truly amazes me how good this team is at playing up tempo. I still can't believe it. They play better when they push the pace.

[dbestpro]

Nice.

Blair put us in funk and Splitter helped to pull us out. Go figure.

[Spurologist]

I think tp has hit the most Js in a game this season. :tu

[timtonymanu]

This feels like a 4th quarter run. Hopefully Spurs will have gas by then.

[Warlord23]

This is like Phoenix Suns circa 2005. Pushing the ball up the court and letting fly the moment someone sees daylight

[HarlemHeat37]

:lol This team is so nasty when they're in rhythm..

What I love about this Spurs team is that they demoralize the other team with their shooting..as an opposing defense, it gets annoying when the team you're playing is raining 3s/jump shots all over you, all in a short amount of time..

[WeNeedLength]

Boom goes the dynamite.

[Spursmania]

Holy Shit, I wish I was at the game tonight!!! That was an awesome sequence. D and Ka-ching!

[timtonymanu]

Nice.

Blair put us in funk and Splitter helped to pull us out. Go figure.

+1. Keep Blair out. Put Splitter in.

[tdunk21]

manu and TP feasting inside denver paint

[Tp9gospursgo]

Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh hahhhhhhh. Spurs lead.

Spurs playing well. It truly amazes me how good this team is at playing up tempo. I still can't believe it. They play better when they push the pace.

Its scary how good they are when they're pushing it this good. Once we up our defense we will be almost unstoppable. :hat

[Manu-of-steel]

Spurs are in a roll! common,yeah!

[tdunk21]

Boom goes the dynamite.

awesome sig bro

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

Doris Burke:"[calling the Spurs boring] is like saying you don't want to watch Pete Sampras play tennis. They're excellent." Good call.

And, we're back in the lead. This team NEVER PANICS. A joy to watch.

[Crookshanks]

This is like Phoenix Suns circa 2005. Pushing the ball up the court and letting fly the moment someone sees daylight

Yeah - back then it seemed no lead was safe against the Suns because they could put up a lot of points in a short amount of time. And the Spurs are doing that this year.

[Cessation]

Game is frantic right now and TP is sooooooooooooooo wet.

lol +1
he is

[Pauleta14]

I think tp has hit the most Js in a game this season. :tu


and still at 100%....

[urunobili]

RJ should have driven to the basket there... that being said... RJ with the triple haterS!

[Crookshanks]

23-7 run in the last 5 minutes!! :wow

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

This team never panics - I wish some of their cliff-jumping fans would take a cue from that! :lol

[CFH]

Hill for 3!

[Spurologist]

hhhhhiiiiiiilllllllllll 333333333333333333333333

[Cessation]

fcuk yeah hill getting in on the action1!!

[CFH]

Wow, that was beautiful by Parker

[Cessation]

holy fuck tp clowning the nuggets lol

[SpursRulez4eVeR]

Tbeeepbeep

[Spurologist]

Holy shit tp! Stop it! Stop it now!

[Crookshanks]

Down 12 a few minutes ago - and now up by 9 - Gotta love it!

[NASpurs]

Jefferson's calf tats :lmao

[timtonymanu]

This team never panics - I wish some of their cliff-jumping fans would take a cue from that! :lol

I'd admit I have my moments. Gotta remember this isn't the same team from the last two seasons. :lol

[Spursmania]

Everybody's breathing hard. This is a fast tempo pace right now. Wow.

[Tp9gospursgo]

Spurs vy 11. Sweet.

[CFH]

Neal AND 1!

[SpursRulez4eVeR]

neallll is unreallllllllllllllll

[HarlemHeat37]

Spurs are playing elite basketball on both ends right now..Nuggets are being forced to take tough shots, while the Spurs are getting any shot they want right now..

[Juanobili]

neal is the fucking shit

[Spursmania]

Neal with it baby!

[timtonymanu]

Damn we're up by 13 now. That was quick.

[Warlord23]

Wow when this team gets into rhythm they just pour it on

[Crookshanks]

Oh man - this is a HUGE turnaround! Nuggets look like they're totally out of it.

[Cessation]

omg i cant believe what im seeing, the spurs are off the charts right now, increddible d and o

[WeNeedLength]

Amazing run!

[timtonymanu]

Neal is a Nuggets killer.

[urunobili]

Choo chooooooooooooo!!!!!!!!!!!

[Juanobili]

correct me if I'm right.. was that a 23 - 7 run or something?

[dbestpro]

When Billups gets old he will be running his wheel chair into walkers in the nursing home and yelling foul.

[CFH]

Timmy!

[SpursRulez4eVeR]

holy shittt

[Spurologist]

14 straight shots?????

UNREAL

[Crookshanks]

14 consecutive made shots!

[CFH]

Late whistle on that one

[Crookshanks]

correct me if I'm right.. was that a 23 - 7 run or something?

Yep - you're right

[SpursRulez4eVeR]

ball don't what?

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

I'd admit I have my moments. Gotta remember this isn't the same team from the last two seasons. :lol

Exactly. This team has been healthy and had chemistry from day one. That makes all the difference.

Timmy with the karate chop to Neal's bald dome after he earned the 3! :lmao

[GinobiliForTres]

correct me if I'm right.. was that a 23 - 7 run or something?

before the FTs, it was 33-7 since being down 12.

[dbestpro]

Choo chooooooooooooo!!!!!!!!!!!

Gesundheit.

[Hemotivo]

beautiful blonde cheerleader back there

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

BTW, really like Doris burke as a commentator. Most of what she says is either insightful or interesting. Props.

[timtonymanu]

I hope we keep this lead. I want to see how Owens does on Melo.

[CFH]

Parker!

[SpursRulez4eVeR]

wtf? i blinked and manu stole it

[Crookshanks]

Manu better be in the All Star game - he's been fricking unbelievable!

[SpursRulez4eVeR]

oh f u lawson

[Werdsniper2]

Neal is hot tonight. Good game by Spurs.

[timtonymanu]

Fuckin Lawson

[Spurologist]

that lawson shot looks like a 3. DAMN

[Tp9gospursgo]

What a quarter. My God. :lol

[DieHardSpursFan1537]

So much for Denver's lead.

[timtonymanu]

Spurs and Nuggets switched FG %. Fuckin cool.

[Spursmania]

Did she call him Antonio? Lol...

[CFH]

Goddammit, Lawson hits a shot at the buzzer. Oh well, Spurs went on a huge run to give them a double digit lead, keep it up in the 2nd half.

[Juanobili]

man, I was already worrying when we were down by 12 so early :lol

[Crookshanks]

That Lawson shot was pure luck

[Werdsniper2]

Oh wow, this line:

Parker +14
Jefferson +12
Ginobili +16
Neal +18
Hill +15

[Spursmania]

The ladders commercial. Omg:lmao:lmao

[urunobili]

BTW it ALL started with Splitters block!

[GinobiliForTres]

What a quarter. My God. :lol

that was incredible. 37-21 in that quarter.

[ace3g]

hopefully Spurs can close this game early so LO can get in the game

[Crookshanks]

Oh wow, this line:

Parker +14
Jefferson +12
Ginobili +16
Neal +18
Hill +15

Now those are some great numbers - and they're only for the 1st half!

[Cessation]

perfect quarter, and yes the commentator chick isnt as bad once you get used to the female voice commentating nba games

[Cessation]

good thing pop pulled the plug on blair, guess he remembered gotta win the game

[timtonymanu]

perfect quarter, and yes the commentator chick isnt as bad once you get used to the female voice commentating nba games

I'll take her over Marc "Hand down, man down" Jackson who tries to justify everything the Lakers do.

[Pauleta14]

That Lawson shot was pure luck


He did a nice cross over to get rid of TP though...

[Crookshanks]

perfect quarter, and yes the commentator chick isnt as bad once you get used to the female voice commentating nba games

She's better now than she was at the beginning of the game. I guess I just had to get used to her voice. Besides, she's been really favorable to the Spurs!

[DPG21920]

After a tough start, wow what an explosion. It was really fueled by the defense, energy and shooting of the 2nd unit.

Then the big guns came in and really upped their games. TP is playing stellar. Same with Tim and Manu. RJ is playing well. Hill is battling on defense.

All around great half.

[Manu-of-steel]

Great 2nd half by the spurs. Keep it up, boys!

[Spurologist]

Man....I need to see the reply of that sick tp crossover in the lane

[NASpurs]

I hope Blair plays like three minutes starting the third and after that, if it's a blowout, gets garbage minutes.

[GinobiliForTres]

The ladders commercial. Omg:lmao:lmao

i laugh every time i see the d. rose ESPN commercial about the self-destruction button

[barbacoataco]

Offensive explosion by the Spurs. Parker looks great.

[BlairForceDejuan]

Spurs D is looking sharp. Watching Manu makes me sad knowing he won't be here forever :( What a legend.

[Ice009]

Nice.

Blair put us in funk and Splitter helped to pull us out. Go figure.

Did the defense activate with Splitter and Dice out on the court? I think that defense really locked in after they got some court time together. I LOVE defense.

TP was incredible.

[Sofaking]

I hope Blair plays like three minutes starting the third and after that, if it's a blowout, gets garbage minutes.

May I ask why? What if he produces?

[BRs.Ganso]

GOGOGO TIAGO SPLITTER!

GOGOGO NENE HILARIO! :lol

:flag:

[DMC]

wait, ESPN has a femmie doing the commentary on the nuggets spurs telecast? I hope it's just the color commentator not play-by-play because femmies are way too incompetent to do play by play...i mean imagine Joel Meyers or Bill Land vs. some femmie in a showdown... :lmao

Or a black femmie! Imagine a black female or some dirty minority female trying to be as good as the superior race. Not going to happen.

[BlairForceDejuan]

Are you retarded? Manu signed a nice long extension and said he wants to finish his career here.

My bad. I meant FOREVER. As in still playing when I am 60.

[DMC]

Are you retarded? Manu signed a nice long extension and said he wants to finish his career here.

Look in the mirror and ask yourself "what's wrong with me?".

Manu will retire someday.

[NASpurs]

May I ask why? What if he produces?

Hey if he produces then great. If he played like he did in the first half, yank his *ass out.

[DMC]

This is what worries me. Take away the Spurs offense and what can they do to win?
LOL I almost choked...

Uhhh... ??? got me.

[Ice009]

good thing pop pulled the plug on blair, guess he remembered gotta win the game

Someone needs to tell DeJuan turnovers and mistakes are costly in the NBA just like they are in the NFL.

[NASpurs]

no

Small ball works against the Nuggets.

Play your small unit to start and we we go up 21 with 6 left in the third and it doesn't matter who plays after that.

Nazi I believe you are mistaken. Blair has sucked and his bonehead play was contagious there for a while.

[Cessation]

Blair homers cutting themselves, truth hurts, lol.

[carina_gino20]

what the hell is going on with this game? :lol

spurs are crazy

[Spursmania]

Or a black femmie! Imagine a black female or some dirty minority female trying to be as good as the superior race. Not going to happen.

GuitarTard 15 year old is not only a racist but clearly a sexist as well.:lol

[Mugen]

Are you retarded? Manu signed a nice long extension and said he wants to finish his career here.

i think he means when he retires dummy.

[DMC]

This is the TP I was talking about when I started the thread "What's Up With Tony Parker?".

Some of you swore he was adopting a new pass first role. I am glad to see it reaffirmed that those who said that have no fucking idea what they are talking about, but hey, as long as you leg ride each other and gang bang any sensible post you disagree with eh?

butthurt dumbasses.

[DMC]

GuitaTard 15 year old is not only a racist but clearly a sexist as well.
Gee thanks for that heads up. I obviously had no idea.

[DMC]

It's not being a sexist to articulate that women should announce their own sports games because it takes away from the aura of the game.

When it comes from a 15 year old who has never done anything without asking mom first, yeah... it's a form of grade school sexism. It's on par with your view of other races. You need help, probably in the form of a foster home.

[Cessation]

Yes, tp strength is breaking down the d and scoring, when he's on fire as he has been this game, we can win a championship, because he removes the scoring pressure from other guys, and they have more energy to play lock down d like they played so far. That was 4th quarter playoff game time intensity in the 2nd quarter.

[TampaDude]

Shit...are we REALLY up 13 at the half? Spurs will blow this lead, book it.

They still win, though.

[DMC]

Go fuck yourself you pedophile asshat
Why don't you let the adults talk kid. Surely with your immense knowledge there's some major university wanting to test your brain.

You are like a fucking gnat.

[Cessation]

lol why they mad?

[Spurologist]

It's not being a sexist to articulate that women should announce their own sports games because it takes away from the aura of the game.

:rollin

Thank you for showing SpursTalk what a sexist is.

[ohmwrecker]

We are so lucky to have not one, but two complete and total fuckholes on ST at the same time.

[janetcn12]

2nd half about to start. Go Spurs Go...Go TP Go

[Cessation]

lol just saw the announcer cutie, shes kind of hot, tbh

[Spursmania]

:hungry:

Back to the game!

[DMC]

You're fucking retarded.

You know what you need? To choke on a fucking cock.

Tell me what that's like.

[CFH]

Oh Blair...

[Tp9gospursgo]

Blair...

[Cessation]

wow blair is back to his old tricks

[SpursRulez4eVeR]

no like blair

[DMC]

We are so lucky to have not one, but two complete and total fuckholes on ST at the same time.
3 including you, wannabe fuck.

[Warlord23]

WTF is Blair doing in this game?

[timtonymanu]

Okay Blair you're not gonna play smart this half then get out.

[ohmwrecker]

lol just saw the announcer cutie, shes kind of hot, tbh

She's got a kind of naughty librarian thing going on.

[Crookshanks]

guitardude - you need to calm down and back away. It's so pathetic when you try to act all tough by using profanity on a message board. We all know you're a kid and barely out of puberty - just read more and post less and everyone will appreciate it.

[Cessation]

our d is back to shit, with blair back in

[NASpurs]

Blair post up and a Tim 20 ft jump shot. Yaaaaay..

[CFH]

And the lead is down to 8, come on Spurs, don't piss it away

[Spurologist]

manu/tp are shooting the lights out...how about getting them the ball.....Gracias

[Tp9gospursgo]

our d is back to shit, with blair back in

He should come off the bench, tbh

[Ice009]

Man interior D sucks with DB.

[SpursRulez4eVeR]

awww that 3

[NASpurs]

Carmelo turns into a girl when he sees a double team coming towards him.

[ohmwrecker]

3 including you, wannabe fuck.

What makes you think I'm talking about you?

Goat rapist.

[SpursRulez4eVeR]

looks like martin has a lot of fouls to give

[Cessation]

wow tp with some good d too

[CFH]

Come on RJ, make your free throws

[CFH]

Or don't...

[timtonymanu]

Really RJ

[Spursmania]

Damn nice D. Love that D!

[NASpurs]

Carmelo part of the low BBall IQ gang with a tech

[CFH]

T on Melo

[Crookshanks]

Melo is anything but...

[Spurologist]

typical Nugget implosion starting in the 3rd now?

[Cessation]

meltdown1!!

[NASpurs]

Here comes the ass Nuggets

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

Manu shooting more 3s than any other player. So that wasn't an illusion, huh? :lol

[CFH]

T on Billups now :lol

[Tp9gospursgo]

lol Billups.

[Crookshanks]

definite meltdown by the Nuggets

[timtonymanu]

Keep imploding, Denver

[CFH]

Dammit Timmy, should've had that one

[DPG21920]

TP making the Nuggets go crazy. Cheap shot Chauncey?

[Cessation]

tony is unstoppable

[janetcn12]

Wow, TP is really hot tonight...

[Crookshanks]

As a team, the Nuggets don't have a high enough basketball IQ to recover from this meltdown.

When Spurs were down, they just kept playing and recovered. Nuggets can't do that.

[NASpurs]

FTs for the rest of the quarter for the Spurs

[Spurologist]

I think Martin seriously has some kind of neurological disorder

[Tp9gospursgo]

Nuggets falling apart.

[SpursRulez4eVeR]

blair weak D

[NASpurs]

I think Martin seriously has some kind of neurological disorder

Have you ever seen him talk? That dude twitches like crazy.

[Tp9gospursgo]

lol Melo with only 7 points.

[Spursmania]

So typical of the Nuggets. Melt down ii coming shortly...

[Cessation]

Nothing new here, Spurs have been showing up for big games this year, taking it to the next level.

[Crookshanks]

if not for all those points off turnovers in the 1st quarter, this would be a total blowout.

[Cessation]

Have you ever seen him talk? That dude twitches like crazy.

Its the drugs, man.

[rasho8]

I want more Splitter with Manu. That seems like it will work well.

[janetcn12]

Nuggets is meant to be eaten that is why they are falling apart....

[ohmwrecker]

I think Martin seriously has some kind of neurological disorder

He does have seem to have something similar to tourette's. If you've ever seen an interview with him . . . he has some facial and vocal tics.

[CFH]

Timmy!

[Tp9gospursgo]

Nice play outta the timeout.

[Libri]

nice hook shot by TD

[SpurAddict561]

Timmy really stepping it up past few games showing he can still take over at will

And whoever said Tony is slumping is crazy!

Let's get a big lead and rest for tomorrow

[dbestpro]

Blair :(

[Pauleta14]

RJ with Blair IQ on that play...

[CFH]

Not a good decision

[Crookshanks]

that should've been a loose ball foul. Timmy was pushed in the back and that kept him from getting that rebound.

[BanditHiro]

fuck its falling apart

[Warlord23]

I'd rather see Splitter in there than Blair, who's hurting us on both ends of the floor

[NASpurs]

Manu just said "fuck" on the bench. Kind of surprising to me.

[Cessation]

Finally blair is out, once we started to lose the lead, lol.

[Spursmania]

Enough about Melo already. Jeez.

[Spurologist]

I think Martin seriously has some kind of neurological disorder

Apologies.....I phrased that wrong. I've always wondered exactly what it was...seems to be some form of Tourettes as someone mentioned. I think Mahmoud Abdul-Rauf had the same problem

[Crookshanks]

Spurs gotta keep their foot on the gas. Shoot, Tony is hurt.

[WeNeedLength]

Chauncey with the bitch slap wtf lol

[DPG21920]

That was a dirty play by Billups. Unreal. They should send that one into the league.

[DPG21920]

Spurs need to hard foul Billups.

[NASpurs]

Can the Spurs stop going for the steal?

[CFH]

Neal 3!

[Spurologist]

nnnnneeeeeaaaalllllllll 33333333333333333333333

[SpurAddict561]

Neal with it!

[Juanobili]

neal makes it look so easy!

[Cessation]

Neal with it!!

[CFH]

Dice J

[ShoogarBear]

That was a great drive and dish by Neal.

[Spurologist]

Billups should have been ejected via a second tech BTW

[SpurAddict561]

Ya they do need to stop going for the steal

[Werdsniper2]

Gn3!!!

[Crookshanks]

That is one scary looking Ref!

[urunobili]

Chooo Choooooooooooo!!!!!
