Game Thread: Spurs @ Nuggets - Dec. 18 @ 8:00 PM CST

[CitizenDwayne]

What are the denver commentators saying? I'm actually visiting my parents in SA so I get to watch the home feed.

Example: "Duncan's complaining to the refs...ya know, he's not used to getting fouls called on him."

[Malik Hairston]

Gallinari was one of the worst players in the NBA, entering this game..he was shooting 40% from the field and 30 from 3..he can't miss tonight..

[weebo]

Spurs just don't play good enough D

[Budkin]

Gallinari was one of the worst players in the NBA, entering this game..he was shooting 40% from the field and 30 from 3..he can't miss tonight..

We always bring out the best in the worst.

[Mugen]

18 footers from Kendrick Perkins and stepback 3s from Gallo have been killer :lol

[Supreme_Being]

I don't think i've seen neal for the entire 2nd half where the f is he?

[TheSkeptic]

Gallo plays good. Always thought he would make a good spur.

Gallo's actually pretty mediocre. He's more a good shooter but his defense is so-so and he can pretty hit and miss. Lawson and Mills otoh are two Nuggets I like.

[Dr. Robert Lee]

It seems like every game the other team has some "fluke" performance these days. Maybe it's not fluke at all.

[Budkin]

Game.

[DAF86]

I would have Neal in there, tbh.

[Brunodf]

Green getting more minutes:lol

[Budkin]

WTF is Green in there??

[Budkin]

Too little too late... 3rd quarter was inexcusable.

[loveforthegame]

Poor Duncan. Laid it all out there with other guys taking naps.

[Mugen]

det line from Timmy....goddamn

[Budkin]

GOddamit Tim!

[CitizenDwayne]

Damn Timmy.

[Quiet Strength]

Fuck green

[LakerHater]

WoW, how the fuck did that rattle out!/??

[DAF86]

Neal would have made that.

[Johnsyounger]

Spurs have this weird thing called game plan. They plan on trying to shut down certain players, so if a role player gets hot, it can be bad.

[Budkin]

MANUUUUUU

[SpursRock20]

I hate Green

[Paranoid Pop]

WTF is Green in there??

True love between Pop and Danny.

[Boomersgold]

Ginobili!

[DAF86]

No Manu don't tell me you hit your second three that counted as a two.

[CitizenDwayne]

Nuggets really trying to give us the win

[benfti]

Mills has got the hot hand

[resistanze]

Ginoooosebleed

[SanAntonioSpurs23]

All hail Tim Duncan

[Budkin]

Damn only a 2.

[LakerHater]

3 Ball!

[Budkin]

Def. a 2. No question.

[SpursRock20]

Still plenty of time

[weebo]

Danny Green geeezus

[SpursOwn]

Danny Green, gtfo going 1-9 you faggot

[CitizenDwayne]

LOL refs taking their time to help the Spurs...

[Budkin]

Danny Green, gtfo going 1-9 you faggot

When he plays like this we lose every fucking time.

[Malik Hairston]

Green is beginning to remind me of post-2007/8 Michael Finley..

[DAF86]

No reason to foul.

[Spursfanfromafar]

Close to 3 years since Timmy got 30 in a Regular Season game for the Spurs.

Close to 9 years since Timmy got 30 points and 20 rebounds in a regular season game for the Spurs.

[Brunodf]

LOL FOULING?

[LakerHater]

Spurs havin a terrible game but on the brightside still a chance to win this!!

[DatBoyGood]

Duncan's monsterous stats going to waste

[Budkin]

Jesus Christ.

[CitizenDwayne]

That was awful

[ace3g]

do spurs ever score when they get multiple 3s at the end like that...

[HI-FI]

crofl

[Floyd Pacquiao]

:lmao:rollin:lmao:rollin:lmao

[SanAntonioSpurs23]

Lol Green, Mills, and Manu

[DAF86]

I would have Neal in there, tbh.

We may have stolen this one with Neal instead of Green there.

[Quiet Strength]

Fuck that sucks. I wish the spurs played this hard all fucking game.

[weebo]

Green had a wide open three fuck this big lipped faggot

[Supreme_Being]

Its official green is fkn scrub

[Boomersgold]

Green misses a wide open three? Wtf...

[Brunodf]

DUMBEST PLAYS EVER, JUST MAKE A FUCKING 2 , JESUS

[LakerHater]

WOW, LOL!!

[irishock]

LOL

[SpursOwn]

Hope Green gets injured in the last 4 seconds and it ends his career.

[resistanze]

Danny Bonner

[Johnsyounger]

&^%(^&%*&*%^*$&^(%^)(*&(*&)_()&(^%$*&^%$

[Suspect]

Loooooooooool

[loveforthegame]

That was touch to watch. Damn.

[Dr. Robert Lee]

Everyone going for a hero shot, tbh...

[DieHardSpursFan1537]

Are you fucking kidding me? What happened to this team. We've lost 4 road games in a row now.

[HI-FI]

best thing about these losses is you hope change, trade, shit something will happen (probably not though)

[loveforthegame]

Spurs better rest up and regroup over the next few days. Hopefully Leonard will be back too.

[SanDiegoSpursFan]

danny green needs to find a way to make a positive impact on the game when his shot isnt falling.

[SanAntonioSpurs23]

Here come the cliff jumpers

[Budkin]

Goddamit!!!!! So much worse when we come all the way back and blow it!

[SpursRock20]

Manu had a wide open layup with plenty of time left, he should have taken it. And I really don't like Green. He is not clutch whatsoever.

[Mugen]

:lol Nuggs with the luckiest game of the season so far tbh

[Johnsyounger]

Loooooooooool
Really? You got Lin bro.

[Supreme_Being]

Neal could have knocked it down

[UZER]

Live by the 3, die by 3

[Spursfanfromafar]

Worst loss this season, in my opinion.

[AussieFanKurt]

Hope Green gets injured in the last 4 seconds and it ends his career.

:lmao

[Suspect]

Green had a wide open three fuck this big lipped faggot

LMFAO

[Suspect]

Green had a wide open three fuck this big lipped faggot

LMFAO

[Dr. Robert Lee]

danny green needs to find a way to make a positive impact on the game when his shot isnt falling.
He and Kobe Neal are worthless when their shot isn't falling.

[Mugen]

some pretty dumb plays at the end by Manu and Timmy passing up layups

[AussieFanKurt]

Mills needs more playing time, 5 threes, some reasonable D, especially on last play, get rid of that big lipped fuck green

[jiggy_55]

That Danny green is starting to get on my nerves!!! Wtf!

[Boomersgold]

Had we not played Neal, we probably would've won. Mills > Neal, tbh.

[Brunodf]

At least Amused injured Bonner, hope next is Green or Neal

[Budkin]

At least that part of the fucking schedule is over... FUCK.

[Arcadian]

Tim: 31 points, 18 rebounds, 6 assists, 5 blocks, 2 steals

It would be nice if he had some help.

He was actually open on that last play, and Manu didn't pass to him.

[Dr. Robert Lee]

Neal could have knocked it down
Ha. Yeah, right.

[HI-FI]

the fact we need a second year player, recovering from tendonitis, for us to win it all this year....

[DAF86]

Duncan 31pts, 18rbds, 6assts, 5blks. :lol :worthy:

[Suspect]

Really? You got Lin bro.

Yes! Release your anger on me!

[Suspect]

Really? You got Lin bro.

Yes! Release your anger on me!

[SpursRock20]

When Leonard comes back and Jack gets healthy, they need to eat up Green's minutes.

[LakerHater]

Tim Duncan- 30 points, 18 rebounds, 6 asts, 5 blocks

[Boomersgold]

Danny Green 1 of 9 from the field, 0 of 7 from three, in 22 minutes of playing time. Man, those minutes could've gone to De Colo or Mills.....

[SanDiegoSpursFan]

I don't think Diaw was giving enough effort for most of the game. I think he played okay at the end of the game though.

[BillMc]

Duncan 31pts, 18rbds, 6assts, 5blks. :lol :worthy:

Props to Timmy even in the loss

[DesignatedT]

Well, surprisingly there was some nice things taken away from that 4th quarter.

First, if we would have played with that effort all night we would have won the game. No question about it.

Saw some really nice things from Diaw in that second half. If he played like that every game it would be nice to see. Duncan is just a monster. Tony was bad tonight. Manu missed some and hit some shots. Jack missed some huge shots that could have changed the game. I'll give him a pass.

Danny Green pretty much sucks, along with Neal.

and props to Patty for giving us a shot. Not surprised at all by that performance. It will happen at like 3 more times this season.

Oh and another thing, this game was way to fast for De Colo. He couldn't keep up.

[DieHardSpursFan1537]

How about Tim though. I swear that guy is never going to stop. Almost had 20 rebounds again!!

[Spursfanfromafar]

Duncan 31pts, 18rbds, 6assts, 5blks. :lol :worthy:

Last time, Timmy got 30+, 10+, 5+, 5+ was against Portland in 2003 February -

Exactly, we not take this quick 2 and see if they can make free throws first!!

[Dr. Robert Lee]

Duncan 31pts, 18rbds, 6assts, 5blks. :lol :worthy:
On 25 shots, though.

[davidbowie]

guys, the spurs lost again

[aal04]

I am disgusted that Green got associated with the big three and got a rest in popgate

All he has ever done is hit a game winning 3. Id rather we protect sjax or even splitter

[racm]

0-2 against teams with tall SFs.

The effort in the 4th was nice but too late tbh, this is exactly the situation where Leonard would be nice

[DAF86]

Worst loss this season, in my opinion.

Nah, this was kind of expected. Knicks loss and Jazz loss were the worst.

[DAF86]

Nah, this was kind of expected. Knicks loss and Jazz loss were the worst.

[ElNono]

They shown good fight... No moral victories, but they fought to the end. Tim is a monster tbh

[td4mvp21]

Tim Duncan needs to call everyone not named Tiago Splitter out. It's really sad that he's the only one that brought it tonight. No words for TP and Ginobili's performances. Green :lol

[DieHardSpursFan1537]

Our next 4 games are against scrubs. (Raptors, Hornets, Rockets, Mavericks) The Mavericks are decent, but Spurs will win as long as it is a home game.

[racm]

guys, the spurs lost again

December, tbh. Better struggle now than in April.

[spurs1990]

2 observations. Nuggets, great jerseys...need to switch full time.

And did ya'll get a load of the number of Spurs fans there - very cool.

[SpursRock20]

I am disgusted that Green got associated with the big three and got a rest in popgate

This. I am off his band wagon.

:cry but they were tired :cry

[Capt Bringdown]

Manu "jelly bean" Ginobili, never met a bad shot he didn't like.
Somebody needs to tap him in on the shoulder and remind him that floggin the SuperManu routine hasn't worked for years.

[Paranoid Pop]

They shown good fight... No moral victories, but they fought to the end. Tim is a monster tbh

Agreed I saw more in this loss than in quite a few wins.

But Pop is irrationnaly in love with Green so that's that and TP wasn't feeling good, you could tell something was wrong.

[Brunodf]

Duncan playing alone.
Our starting guards(TP, Neal, Green) shot combined 5-27
Splitter had 2 blks at the half, now he has 1

[DAF86]

Tim Duncan needs to call everyone not named Tiago Splitter out. It's really sad that he's the only one that brought it tonight. No words for TP and Ginobili's performances. Green :lol

Outside of shooting Manu played well tonight.

[SpursRock20]

On 25 shots, though.

20 of those shots were well-contested. He didn't have a whole lot of chippies.

[racm]

0-2 with Jackson back in the lineup, tbh.

[DAF86]

[JRHernandez88]

Yal are quick to turn on our guys dammmm. So now it's praise patty and fk Danny green now huh?? Faggots

[Russ]

42-18 free throw "edge" to Denver.

[racm]

Yal are quick to turn on our guys dammmm. So now it's praise patty and fk Danny green now huh?? Faggots

Spurfan thinks a loss in December = Game 6 of the WCF, real talk.

[SpursRock20]

Outside of shooting Manu played well tonight.

I liked what I saw out of Manu. He needs to take Green's spot out of the starting line-up, tbh. And what is with Parker? The guy is either on fire or he is non-existant.

[Budkin]

If Green can't learn to be consistent he has to go... he kills us when he disappears.

[Suspect]

Our next 4 games are against scrubs. (Raptors, Hornets, Rockets, Mavericks) The Mavericks are decent, but Spurs will win as long as it is a home game.

Spurs going 0-4 imo

[racm]

Neal is useless when his shot isn't falling. I'd rather start Manu.

[Darius McCrary]

Spurs are basically sixth place

[td4mvp21]

Outside of shooting Manu played well tonight.

I'm irritated with his lack of scoring.

[racm]

If Green can't learn to be consistent he has to go... he kills us when he disappears.

I think the problem is that he can't be benched because he's the only OTHER guy who's 6'6" and up.

[SpursRock20]

42-18 free throw "edge" to Denver.

The refs were pretty poor tonight but that line is deceiving. We gave 10 free throws to McGee.

[JRHernandez88]

Spurfan thinks a loss in December = Game 6 of the WCF, real talk.
Smh

[Budkin]

Yes! Release your anger on me!

Love the Blastoise Santa Troll!

[rayjayjohnson]

:lmao spurfans.

better trade everyone i think

:( :( :(

[Russ]

I am disgusted that Green got associated with the big three and got a rest in popgate

Green is a nice player but he has little to no upside.

I don't think he can get big minutes on a playoff contender.

[Dr. Robert Lee]

Manu "jelly bean" Ginobili, never met a bad shot he didn't like.
Somebody needs to tap him in on the shoulder and remind him that floggin the SuperManu routine hasn't worked for years.
LOL, what? Manu was one of our best players tonight (granted, that's not saying much).


20 of those shots were well-contested. He didn't have a whole lot of chippies.
Oh, indeed. Timmy could do this every night if he was willing to put up the shots, though. He's too unselfish. When the rest of the team is sucking, like tonight, he needs to go all out, IMO.

[Boomersgold]

:lmao spurfans.

better trade everyone i think

:( :( :(

Nope. Just Neal and Green. No one's been happy with their performances this season.

[racm]

Green is a nice player but he has little to no upside.

I don't think he can get big minutes on a playoff contender.

There's a reason he went in the second round.

[Paranoid Pop]

I think the problem is that he can't be benched because he's the only OTHER guy who's 6'6" and up.

There's Anderson too but Pop decided he was a scrub not worthy to take minutes away from Green. Will probably be waived soon.

[LakerHater]

:lmao spurfans.

better trade everyone i think

:( :( :( Team will be fine, nuggets need to worry about givin up 20 point leads!

[racm]

Nope. Just Neal and Green. No one's been happy with their performances this season.

Tbh, if Kawhi weren't sitting neither of those clowns would get crunch time minutes.

[DAF86]

Manu needs to start, Green needs to be benched, imho.

[racm]

There's Anderson too but Pop decided he was a scrub not worthy to take minutes away from Green. Will probably be waived soon.

Pretty much. How's Kenyon Martin looking?

[SpursRock20]

There's Anderson too but Pop decided he was a scrub not worthy to take minutes away from Green. Will probably be waived soon.

Anderson is a scrub. That's why he's last in the rotation.

[Budkin]

God I can't wait for Kawhi to come back.

[rayjayjohnson]

Nope. Just Neal and Green. No one's been happy with their performances this season.

bullshit, you were all riding that green dick hard a month ago

[racm]

God I can't wait for Kawhi to come back.

I'm starting to think he doesn't have tendinitis but something more serious. Why has he missed a lot of games anyway?

[Suspect]

Spurs played this game like the championship was on the line

[racm]

bullshit, you were all riding that green dick hard a month ago

Spurfan turns on the role players when their shots aren't falling per par

[racm]

Spurs played this game like the championship was on the line

You'd do that too if you just replaced a Colorado woman with the Spurs and Kobe with the Thunder.

[rayjayjohnson]

Spurfan turns on the role players when their shots aren't falling per par

racm proving my theory that downstairs spurfans talk real, upstairs spurfans ride cock

[racm]

Whose cock is the question :downspin:

[rayjayjohnson]

Whose cock is the question :downspin:

i see at least one part of patty mills gets some burn here...

[racm]

Don't worry, they'll turn on him again when he gets burned on defense next game

[rayjayjohnson]

:lmao spurfans

so fickle.

[Boomersgold]

bullshit, you were all riding that green dick hard a month ago

No shit, sherlock. Just because he plays well for a couple of games doesn't mean we're happy with his consistency as an NBA player. GTFO, troll. Fans from teams just above 50% shouldn't be allowed to trash talk with fans from superior teams.

[racm]

Tbh we're not better than Lakerfan, we're just less sure in our championship aspirations

Why do people police a game thread for real and fake fans? Most are just reacting emotionally and venting while its happening live. Half of what is said is out of sarcasm.

[HI-FI]

this. it's pretty much the most spontaneous thread on here, of course some dumb shit is going to be said.

[rayjayjohnson]

Take it out, rayjay. You stuck it in too far.

[Capt Bringdown]

LOL, what? Manu was one of our best players tonight (granted, that's not saying much).

5 for 15 & 4 TO's. LOL indeed

[Boomersgold]

I hope our 54% winning percentage gets us into the playoffs. :depressed

[rayjayjohnson]

:cry

[Fuzzy Dunlop]

The Spurs lose again? This is TOO funny.

[dbreiden83080]

Tough loss.. Spurs will start reeling off wins again soon. Just been a bad stretch...

[Budkin]

:lmao spurfans

so fickle.

Can't argue with that.

[LittleCriminal]

Why Did Blair and Anderson rack up a DNP tonight?? Trade Looming??

[milkyway21]

huh ! five-game (except against the Celtics) losses?? I thought they're back on tract after that Sat. game...
glad I was not online during those games :(

[TampaDude]

Yawn...Nugz in Denver on a B2B...loss...

[BanditHiro]

holy fuck. stop watching for a few games and the team implodes...

[DieHardSpursFan1537]

Spurs going 0-4 imo
That's the spirit!
