Game Blog: Spurs @ Nuggets - March. 23

[CFH]

Awesome, he hit both

[c whata11]

these refs are pathetic

[DesignatedT]

that was clearly a charge. prob didn't help that he took awhile to fall down and that he is a rookie but he was definitely there. good d

[DPG21920]

I'm suprised. He was playing REALLY well right after the Melo trade, and then DNP city.

He has been injured. It's not DNP-CD.

[TE]

Terrible call. Nuggets just go to the basket out of control and are awarded.

[NRHector]

that fucking brothers again he's the homer tonight

[Bill_Brasky]

Fucking hell...Splitter with 4 now.

[Mugen]

our perimeter D is shit tonight.

[kjhip1]

Blair out of place on that layup

[Spurs Brazil]

good job RJ

[spurspokesman]

Thank you RJ

[tdunk21]

good rj...drive and draw foul

[TampaDude]

Bonner has lost his nads, it seems.

[CFH]

There's the RJ we like to see

[ShoogarBear]

Finally, Jefferson drives!

[timtonymanu]

There we go RJ. That's what you have to do.

[Mugen]

Hubie with the RealTalk bout Hill/RJ

[DesignatedT]

pop is about to burst he is so upset over there

[Juggity]

George Hill is just MIA lately

[DPG21920]

It's amazing how much better he looks when he drives :lol Does he really not understand that or what?

It is not rocket science.

[Spurs Brazil]

We're finally getting calls

[DesignatedT]

good pass tony

[ShoogarBear]

Finally some late whistles on the Nuggies.

[TampaDude]

Nuggz in the penalty now...good job, Blair!!!

[Pauleta14]

DB has to make that one...

[spurspokesman]

interior D has been solid with Dice/Tiago.

like i said, slow it down and outexecute these guys.

lovin Tiago's D on Nene, hating his soft ass flips.

yup

[Mugen]

this team is so reliant on TP/Manu to create EVERYTHING on offense.

[Capt Bringdown]

Seems we're just trading baskets...need to get some stops.

[TampaDude]

Hill for 3!!!

[Spurs Brazil]

Hill 33333333333333333333333333333

[ShoogarBear]

That was an outstanding pass by Blair.

[TE]

G Hill about to creep out of his ass. 3!

[DesignatedT]

we are killing this trap d. wonder how long karl is going to stay with it

[kjhip1]

where is J.R. Smith this half?

[Juggity]

George Hill is just MIA lately

Stand corrected! Big three, nice job

[TE]

Another call. Damn. These Refs make officiating look easy.

[spurspokesman]

It's amazing how much better he looks when he drives :lol Does he really not understand that or what?

It is not rocket science.

Apparently not:lol

[tdunk21]

why does hill suck so bad in road games?

[timtonymanu]

Thank God Blair isn't being a ballhog today.

Hill 333.. We really need Oooey Pooey back.

[ducks]

ducks, if the Spurs hold the Nuggets to less than 100, you can pick my avatar and sig for the next two weeks.

ok


denver getting hot now though:bang

[Fireball]

Blair passed the ball ... again

[Spurs Brazil]

Yes Hill

[Mugen]

there it is Hill

[spurspokesman]

Hill coming on

[ShoogarBear]

Damn, Blair.

[TampaDude]

Here comes the run...

[HarlemHeat37]

Ugh, missed dunk..that's usually a turning point..

[Spurs Brazil]

FUCK Blair
damn

[Mugen]

goddamnit Blair

[DPG21920]

All of our big men are great passers, but terrible finishers and that includes Tim.

[TE]

Wow c'mon.

[timtonymanu]

Blair fucking shit

[Crookshanks]

How did Blair miss that dunk? He was WIDE open!

[ShoogarBear]

Blair may have two plays of the day tonight now.

[spurspokesman]

We look tired.

[DesignatedT]

good job george. damn kmart hittin that tough shot.

[Capt Bringdown]

FU Blair

[spurs1990]

College dunk by DeJuan.

You know what I'm talking about HarlemHeat.

[kjhip1]

NO neal in...guy was shooting lights out...maybe 4th quarter?

[TampaDude]

Ugh, missed dunk..that's usually a turning point..

Yup...I expect the Spurs to lose the lead here soon.

[Bulwark]

Blair used all of his legs in the first half

[DPG21920]

I wonder is JR's eye is messed up. He hasn't seen the court.

[Fireball]

shit ... 4 point swing with Blair missing the dunk

[ace3g]

where is Neal?

[spurspokesman]

NO neal in...guy was shooting lights out...maybe 4th quarter?
yup. working on his clutch shooting:lol

[LakerHater]

didnt look Blair had any lift, FUCK!

[Slydragon]

Blair makes some difficult dunks look easy and then the super easy one he misses. Wtf.

[DPG21920]

Tired legs everywhere. All of our bigs have tired legs :madrun

[spurspokesman]

shit ... 4 point swing with Blair missing the dunk

Bummer

[Bulwark]

NO neal in...guy was shooting lights out...maybe 4th quarter?
I hope.

[Pauleta14]

unacceptable miss by DB!!!

it costs us 4pts...

[Mugen]

gonna need Dice/Splitter fresh for the final 6 minutes of this game. Our D is garbage without both those guys.

[outmap]

Every thing RJ does is nonchalant. It is infuriating. No sense of urgency or desire. No aggression. How can a man that athletic have such low testosterone?

His estrogen levels are off the roof. :lmao

[Juggity]

:madrun

That emote amuses me

[Pauleta14]

where is Neal?


Pop keeps him for the end of 3rd stzrt of 4th IMO, he can hurt them bad

[TampaDude]

Altitude is a killer...a HUGE advantage for the Nuggets.

[Capt Bringdown]

where is Neal?

Or Novak for that matter. I guess Pop doesn't want to hurt Bonner's feelings.

[dbestpro]

As tired as everyone is you would think Novak could get some run.

[kjhip1]

quick change of subject...anyone see that Stuckey dunk on Bosh...nasty!!!!

[Fireball]

gonna need Dice/Splitter fresh for the final 6 minutes of this game. Our D is garbage without both those guys.

you mean the other guys?

[ace3g]

finally they ran the RJ play I've been looking for

[GabeIsGone]

Pops gonna sub in dice/tiago late again, when the game has gotten way to close. calling it now.

[LakerHater]

Or Novak for that matter.

Yeah I'd like to see Novak!

[Spurs Brazil]

It's so easy to score on Bonner

[kjhip1]

same jab step on Bonner by harrington

[Mugen]

RJs played a lot better in this 3rd.

[DPG21920]

Get to the line RJ. Do it.

http://www.gifbin.com/bin/tn_1234525508_ben_stiller_-_do_it.gif

:lol at Denver just going at Bonner.

[kjhip1]

Neal is in....so to speak...

[dbestpro]

So can someone remind me of what Bonner is suppose to do out there?

[Juggity]

where is Neal?

Finally here

[spurspokesman]

jr IS A BEAST

[DPG21920]

Can you please double JR. Make him a passer.

[CFH]

Oh look another late foul!

[DesignatedT]

damn manu shoulda have just waited for last shot

[spurspokesman]

Make up call

[TampaDude]

Wow...another bullshit foul on the Spurs...

[timtonymanu]

Come on smart shots please.

[Mugen]

lol theres your gary neal getting posterized by a Denver player play. one every game against them.

[DPG21920]

I am really, really glad Dallas didn't get JR Smith.

[TE]

Stupid call again. Geez these refs are fucking pathetic.

[NRHector]

that Brother waits to see if they make the basket and then calls the foul

[Fireball]

fuck these late calls

[Spurs Brazil]

lol Bonner

[TampaDude]

Wow...I can't believe we still have the lead...these refs are fucking atrocious!!!

[CFH]

3 point lead going into the 4th

[01Snake]

WTF is up with all the delayed whistles???

[Mugen]

this lead is gone in a couple of mins as long as Bonner/Blair are out there.

[timtonymanu]

Fuck! Didnt even build up the lead at the end of the 3rd. More Neal in the 4th please and less Bonner/Blair.

[NRHector]

Bonner is worthless

[kjhip1]

wtf is up with bonner out there? off night again...

[Avitus1]

We need to lock it down in the 4th.

[Juggity]

Well shit. Let's turn it on for the fourth as per usual

[ohmwrecker]

The Nuggets have a tattoo parlor in their locker room.

[dbestpro]

Bonner playing scared again. Dude needs to take the shot right away. When he hesitates or drives to the hoop he is destined to fail.

[TampaDude]

that Brother waits to see if they make the basket and then calls the foul

That's a clear sign of a ref who is trying to fix a point spread.

[spurspokesman]

Wow...I can't believe we still have the lead...these refs are fucking atrocious!!!

They are the reason for this close a game

[100%duncan]

LOL defense

[Spurs Brazil]

this lead is gone in a couple of mins as long as Bonner/Blair are out there.

Dice +9
Tiago +11
Bonner -10
Blair -6

[LakerHater]

If Spurs can step up the D, I think they'll be ok.

[TampaDude]

If we lose the lead in the 4th, we won't get it back, book it.

[kjhip1]

The Nuggets have a tattoo parlor in their locker room.

J.R. must have been back there in the 3rd quarter getting a matching pair of lips like Kenyon...

[Capt Bringdown]

FU Bonner. He's played himself out of the rotation, but his man-lover still believes in him.

[Pauleta14]

We're going nowhere with Bonner...

I hate the hope he creates, the guy sucks under pressure, there's nothing that can be done against that, he'll always be that way :bang:bang:bang:bang:bang:bang

[NRHector]

That's a clear sign of a ref who is trying to fix a point spread.:bang

[Spurs Brazil]

Same shit as 1st quarter. Good D with Tiago/Dice. Bonner/Blair in and or D is gone

[Fireball]

play Novak instead of Bonner ... as bad on defense, but Novak would have made that last shot

[spurspokesman]

The Nuggets have a tattoo parlor in their locker room.
lol

[GabeIsGone]

Tiago= +11
McDyess= +13

and are both 7 feet

But pops not gonna play them over the superb duo

Blair= -8
Bonner= -10

when one is shorter than RJ and the other plays like RJ
:rollin:rollin

[Splits]

We're going nowhere with Bonner...

I hate the hope he creates, the guy sucks under pressure, there's nothing that can be done against that, he'll always be that way :bang:bang:bang:bang:bang:bang

How is the 3rd quarter of a road game without Tim when HCA is all but locked up "under pressure"? Dude is in a slump.

[dbestpro]

I would like to see a little Novak over Bonner in the 4th.

[TampaDude]

Nuggz shooting lights fucking out in 3rd + massive home cooking and yet we're still winning. Amazing.

[DesignatedT]

these fucks are all over manu

[ohmwrecker]

Fuck! Didnt even build up the lead at the end of the 3rd. More Neal in the 4th please and less Bonner/Blair.

They kind of have to play Blair/Bonner. Not a lot of options.

[spurspokesman]

thank you. they are hacking as they say

[Mugen]

btw, im glad George Karl is back coachin again.

[DPG21920]

:lol At complaining about that call.

[tdunk21]

nice...2 quick fouls

[Spurs Brazil]

Neal 33333333333333333333333333333333

[tdunk21]

neal 3333333333333333333333

[spurspokesman]

refs trying to make it up for us

[DesignatedT]

[TampaDude]

Neal with it!!!

[Juggity]

Bam, neal with it

[InRareForm]

Neal 3!!

[davemaniscool]

C'mon George...you weren't expecting to get all the calls tonight?

[spurspokesman]

We have to put em away now

[ace3g]

Neal with it

http://d.yimg.com/a/p/sp/getty/95/fullj.8505342b56802b4ab0e97c0258537d2f/8505342b56802b4ab0e97c0258537d2f-getty-103895693dp009_san_antonio_.jpg

[timtonymanu]

Neal!!!!! Right on cue.

[DesignatedT]

make up call. that was solid d

[tdunk21]

sits bonner's ass and bring back tiago

[GabeIsGone]

Nene abusing Bonner.......what a suprise

[Mugen]

Denver has been fouling on almost every hedge this whole game, glad theyre finally calling it.

[ElNono]

Whoever sees Matty goes at him...

[TE]

A green light goes off in the head of anyone who is being guarded by Bonner.

[DPG21920]

That was good defense by Bonner. Just a tough call.

[Borosai]

Looks like the refs hate Bonner too.

[duncan228]

btw, im glad George Karl is back coachin again.

:tu He's a fighter.

[LakerHater]

Jus pickin up where he left off!

[Death In June]

I had to miss some of the game. Thought Splitter was doing good to start the game. Is there a reason Bonner is logging more minutes?

[Capt Bringdown]

Man called Neal

[c whata11]

shit refs are shit refs

[ElNono]

Why do you foul Harrington?

[ducks]

Bench booner

[DPG21920]

SMH at these calls.

[DesignatedT]

wow 2 bad calls

[SplitterHook]

I believe I'm a better bball player than Bonnar without his 3 point shot.

[Chomag]

The Spurs do know that there are other shots you can take other then a 3 pointer right?

[ElNono]

lol Felton

[Spurs Brazil]

Fans are mad :lol

[alchemist]

if bonner gets called on those plays how the hell did Bowen get away with what he did? (hacking/pushing)

[Mugen]

lol worst call against Denver all night

[spurspokesman]

Yessirrr. we will be shooting soon

[DPG21920]

Bad call. Great defense by Felton.

[GabeIsGone]

I had to miss some of the game. Thought Splitter was doing good to start the game. Is there a reason Bonner is logging more minutes?

Absolutely none. Hes not doing anything......except fouling.

[davemaniscool]

Felton, manhandle defense doesn't count.

[InRareForm]

no foul on felton lol

[spurspokesman]

Bonner

[DPG21920]

Nice play by Manu, good finish by Bonner.

[spurspokesman]

Horrible pass DB

[DPG21920]

Blair passes up a wide open 12 foot shot to turn it over.

[GabeIsGone]

K time to sub in now pop!!!!

[FilSpursFan]

what's the score?

[DPG21920]

Our bigs are terrible at finishing around the rim. Very soft.

[spurspokesman]

Bonner is getting jobbed by harrington

[timtonymanu]

Fuck. Of course Blair gets stuffed.

[reddog 99]

mama jama

good timeout

[DesignatedT]

damn we had a chance to get a good lead. stupid play by bonner and blair

[Chomag]

wtf is bonner taking all of these shots for?

[Spurminator]

Somebody teach Blair how to pump fake...

[NRHector]

fucking Blair dunk the ball

[L.I.T]

Gah. Spurs blew multiple opportunities to extend the lead. Lazy plays from Blair as well.

[Fermixalot]

Bonner was completely lost on the play.

[Spurs Brazil]

fuck Bonner pathetic defense

[DPG21920]

If Pop cares about winning this one, TP has to play the rest of the way.

[slayermin]

Bonner is killing us.

[ElNono]

Bonner missing the rotations he's supposed to miss...

[ChuckD]

I had to miss some of the game. Thought Splitter was doing good to start the game. Is there a reason Bonner is logging more minutes?

Four fouls, 1 mile altitude, no wind.

[Capt Bringdown]

Incredibly lazy, stupid pass from Blair. Get this turkey off the floor.

[ChuckD]

Free Novak.

[Spurs Brazil]

Sit Bonner and Blair please

[ducks]

what's the score?

I did your mom
you did not do my mom:lol

[ElNono]

lol I forgot about Novak...

[timtonymanu]

Bring in Tiago/McDyess.

[Mugen]

Hey Pop,

Blair/Bonner will never work. Especially in the playoffs.

Ones gotta be dropped from the rotation for Tiago.

Sincerely,
Spurs' Championship Hopes

[GabeIsGone]

wtf is bonner taking all of these shots for?

cuz hes the best 3-point shooter in the NBA......duh:lmao:lmao:lmao:rollin:rollin:rollin:

[LakerHater]

sit bonner and blair please

yes, please!!

[dbestpro]

Blair gets those tough boards and then almost always gets blocked on the put back. If he only had a brain and pulled the ball back out to set up a play.

[Spurs Brazil]

Al Harrington has 21 pts

THANK YOU BONNER

[Crookshanks]

Score: Spurs 98 Nuggets 94

[spurs1990]

Dont you guys think Neal should be getting more looks. Imagine what we can do with volume of shots.

[TE]

Pop is seriously putting a thorn in his legacy if he thinks Bonner is a good rotation player. SMFH.

[Mugen]

I did your mom
you did not do my mom:lol

ducks with the goods as always.

[NRHector]

come on Pop make ths sub :bang

[spurspokesman]

these fucks are all over manu

Have been all game. Lets hope they get two more quick ones and it will be charity heaven

[100%duncan]

lets go spurs!

[Crookshanks]

Have been all game. Lets hope they get two more quick ones and it will be charity heaven

Nah - then the whistles will stop, at least when it comes to the Spurs shooting freethrows. :lol

[Death In June]

Going small here probably not the best idea.

[Fireball]

Go Spurs Go !!! Just nine more minutes of smart basketball please !!

[L.I.T]

The regression of Hill is just disturbing.

[NRHector]

that Fucking Brothers again

[Spurs Brazil]

fuck

FUCK THE REFS

FUCKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKK KKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKK

[spurspokesman]

Bullshitttttttt

[Bill_Brasky]

What the fuck.

[TE]

Wow. What kind of a fucking call is that. C'mon.

[Bulwark]

wow just wow

[c whata11]

these late calls are bullshit. i cant help but get mad.

[ShoogarBear]

Worst call of the night right there.

[DesignatedT]

WHAT THE FUCK?????????????????????????????????????????????? ???noooooooooooooooooooooooooooo way you call that bullshit that late

[Borosai]

These late calls are unbelievable.

[CFH]

WTF :lol

[HarlemHeat37]

:lol:lol:lol These refs are absolutely atrocious..

This is what happens when you're on the road against any teams in that division..Denver/Portland/Utah/OKC, all have ridiculous homecourt..

[timtonymanu]

Fuck Tony Brothers!

[Fermixalot]

WTF? Harrington hacks wildly at Dice and Dice gets called for the bullshit call....


and as I start to type that an absolutely terrible call at the other end....WOW

[TampaDude]

Are you fucking kidding me??? Where's the foul???

[TE]

Fucking pathetic calls. Pathetic.

[spurspokesman]

Nah - then the whistles will stop, at least when it comes to the Spurs shooting freethrows. :lol
You might be right

[DPG21920]

Can we get TP please?

[L.I.T]

I'm not sure I've seen a foul called after the opposing team gained possession.

[Capt Bringdown]

Dont you guys think Neal should be getting more looks. Imagine what we can do with volume of shots.

Yes - especially this game. But Pop's tinkering and not really trying to win. The mission this game seems to be to rebuild Bonner's ego.

Novak 19 pts, 13pts, DNPCD

[FvckMavs]

balls don't lie

[CFH]

Ball don't lie!

[kjhip1]

Ball dont lie

[Crookshanks]

Thank god the Nuggets are sucking at the line tonight or the Spurs would be in trouble.

[itzsoweezee]

What a bullshit fucking call. The fix is in. Fuck these refs.

[spurspokesman]

Gotta hit that dyess

[100%duncan]

spurs have to stay calm or this will be a meltdown

[Chomag]

Bonner comming back in WTF?

[DPG21920]

Why the f*ck is Bonner coming in over Tiago?

[Fireball]

That foul call did it ... I'm pissed

[TampaDude]

This shit is fixed.
