Game Thread: Spurs vs. Nuggets - Mar. 27 @ 7:30 PM CST

[TheGoldStandard]

Tiago has just been standing around today

[EVAY]

I think that Splitter really does need to step it up. He has sort of disappeared in the last few games.

[romsho]

2 trips to the foul line 1st half. Bennett Salvatore. What a surprise.

[spurspokesman]

we need all the games now, imo.
agree

[milkyway21]

As usual Duncan carried the team in the 1st half..He & Green are the only ones who are so into this game...others are playing like crap :bang

:flag:

[thunderup]

U think TD cant hit tough shots? :lol

Not saying he can't partner. It's just a bad shot. You guys can get better shots than a Duncan fade-away.

[jestersmash]

Tiago has just been standing around today

What do we expect him to do? He scores on rolls to the basket. He's set plenty of screens but hasn't received the ball all that often on the roll. I mean he's 1-1 from the field. That's as much on our guards as it is on him. He can only do so much as a rolling big man without a jump shot.

[ElNono]

let's see Pop's adjustments

[spurspokesman]

Wash did get a W vs OKC :lol U have a point but not tonight buddy

[EVAY]

As usual Duncan carried the team in the 1st half..He & Green are the only ones who are so into this game...others are playing like crap :bang

:flag:

seriously? Are you being sarcastic?

[Uriel]

Kawhi :wow

[RD2191]

WHI WHI

[SanDiegoSpursFan]

wow!

[DPG21920]

Kawhi looking like he was dribbling in the skills challenge :wow

[loveforthegame]

Will it be another 5-10 minutes before he gets another shot?

[phxspurfan]

Parker is broken

[DPG21920]

Parker is broken

Say whaaaaaaa?

[spurspokesman]

Will it be another 5-10 minutes before he gets another shot?

hope not

[ElNono]

come on, take the lead back

[phxspurfan]

He just looks broken.

[TheGoldStandard]

This is the aggression that they were missing.

[td4mvp2k]

Not saying he can't partner. It's just a bad shot. You guys can get better shots than a Duncan fade-away.

ill go with TDs shots then KD and RWbrick in a game any day

[RD2191]

:flag:

[jestersmash]

My eyes are broken

Go find a good ophthalmologist, tbh.

[RD2191]

DAMMIT

[EVAY]

Parker is broken


riiiiiight.

[ElNono]

:flag:

I thought w should've packed it up and gone home :lol

[ElNono]

are you kidding me danny?

[phxspurfan]

Lawson pwning

[Obstructed_View]

Danny Green with two scoops of fail.

[RD2191]

I thought w should've packed it up and gone home :lol
maybe we should after that play lol

[Darius McCrary]

Sean Elliott with a Sam Perkins shoutout

[TheGoldStandard]

Danny thought it was North Carolina again

[DPG21920]

At least Tiago went up hard :tu

[Budkin]

FU Green

[ElNono]

strong finish by Tiago

[Uriel]

Parker did say he was still experiencing some lingering soreness in his ankle.

[crc21209]

:lol Gallinari's soft ass yelling "all ball"

[jestersmash]

Tony continuing his great facilitating from the 1st half.

[milkyway21]

4th block from Duncan

[TheGoldStandard]

Can we trade Blair for Gallinari or McGee

[Darius McCrary]

Nuggets O'fire from mid range now wtf

[Obstructed_View]

Can we trade Blair for Gallinari or McGee

They don't know the system so they'll have to sit on the bench for two and a half years.

[ElNono]

Tiago picking it up... come on Golden God

[TheGoldStandard]

They don't know the system so they'll have to sit on the bench for two and a half years.

And get sent to the D league

[Budkin]

:lol airball FT

[EVAY]

Tiago picking it up... come on Golden God

What are you, some kinda jinx or something?

[ElNono]

come on... 50-50 balls...

[Budkin]

Jesus Green!!!

[RD2191]

FUCK LOL

[EVAY]

Danny Green and Duncan both muffed that rebound.

[Obstructed_View]

Tiago has amazingly quick feet. He's defending what should be quicker guys and is holding his own

[ElNono]

gotta give props to my homie HarlemHeat... Tiago killing Chandler on the post

[Budkin]

Fucking FTs

[Darius McCrary]

Tiago is one more basket away from going Super Sayjin

[Obstructed_View]

:lol Gallinari's soft ass yelling "all ball"

That's not as bad as guys yelling "and one" calling for a foul - when they miss the layup.

[LakerHater]

Tiago D!

[DPG21920]

Hopefully Tim can sink these and get him going again.

[Budkin]

Crazy shot by Iggy

[jestersmash]

Total FT reversal. 1st half - Denver 8 FTA, Sprus 0 FTA.

2nd half - Denver 0 FTA, Spurs 12 FTA.

[Quiet Strength]

That's not as bad as guys yelling "and one" calling for a foul - when they miss the layup.

lol true

[crc21209]

Gallinari's J is ugly. He hardly jumps...

[DPG21920]

Gallo is damn smooth in the mid range. Dirk like for real. Just faces up, leans back and barely moves the net.

[EVAY]

Total FT reversal. 1st half - Denver 8 FTA, Sprus 0 FTA.

2nd half - Denver 0 FTA, Spurs 12 FTA.

Refs making up?

[Budkin]

Pop is fucking pissed. Too many open shots. No stops.

[ElNono]

Gallo will have that shot all night... he can just shoot over Danny

[spurspokesman]

Lets get this man

[HI-FI]

great game so far. wish I could've been there in person, had too much going on to make the drive.

[DPG21920]

Nice curl by Timmy. No hesitation

[ElNono]

I gather we're not gonna go to the full bench?

[LakerHater]

A.I. pulled a KoMe but got caught!!

[Obstructed_View]

Gallo will have that shot all night... he can just shoot over Danny

And not Danny's fault, he's just not tall enough to defend it.

[ElNono]

And not Danny's fault, he's just not tall enough to defend it.

right

[jestersmash]

Nice aggressive crossover from Kawhi. I saw him working on dribbling moves in practice today.

[DPG21920]

I honestly can't wait to see how Kawhi/Danny/Tiago do in these playoffs.

[100%duncan]

Let's win this thing tbh. I can feel it.

[Budkin]

Nuggz have no 3s and down 1. Sad.

[RD2191]

i just cant read this team and thats what scares me, i have no idea where this team is headed

[ElNono]

Corey Brewer is an excellent freethrow shooter

[jestersmash]

I honestly can't wait to see how Kawhi/Danny/Tiago do in these playoffs.

I'm mostly worried about Danny. He obviously shit the bed in the WCF last season. Kawhi did just fine and he's even-keeled enough to not let adversity phase him.

[ElNono]

damn

[100%duncan]

Tp3!

[Uriel]

Nuggz have no 3s and down 1. Sad.
It's not so bad. At least it shows an improvement in the team's 3-point denying defense, which has been an emphasis as of late.

[jestersmash]

But yeah it'll be exciting to see how much Kawhi has grown in the playoffs. I'm expecting more from him this time around (although again he did a great job last playoffs as it is).

[DPG21920]

Anyone else think the rotations with Tim are strange? He plays nearly all the 1st & 3rd now. Is that normal?

[LakerHater]

Parker with a trey!!

[ElNono]

:lol

[Obstructed_View]

Damn, Boris. Block out a negro.

[LakerHater]

Dammit, block out!!!

[Budkin]

3333 then shitty d

[Obstructed_View]

This is not a great sign.

[Budkin]

Fuck. TP hand

[RD2191]

awwww fuk

[Uriel]

Anyone else think the rotations with Tim are strange? He plays nearly all the 1st & 3rd now. Is that normal?
Pop just building his stamina for the playoffs.

[Darius McCrary]

Shooting hand

[Robz4000]

Great

[RD2191]

oh come on

[100%duncan]

Wtf. just stay away from injuries for just 1 playoff run for god's sake.

[ElNono]

boris!

[TheGoldStandard]

Rub some dirt in it.

[loveforthegame]

Ugh. Why

[Budkin]

There goes his shot

[timtonymanu]

Parker's fine.

[crc21209]

Why? Why does all this shit happen to Tony?

[ElNono]

TP looks decent, tbh

[DPG21920]

:lmao that was so dirty TP

[Budkin]

LOL TP trolling us.

[Obstructed_View]

Pop just building his stamina for the playoffs.

I'm hoping you're right. Watching Timmy run out of gas second half after second half in the playoffs sucks.

[ElNono]

hmm... probably gonna get it taped

[Robz4000]

TP goin to the locker room...

[RD2191]

going to the locker room, fuk

[Quiet Strength]

fuck.. I hope parker is ok

[HI-FI]

grreat, wtf is up with some of these injuries lately. maybe we can get them out of our system before hte playoffs.

[Obstructed_View]

Are NBA players allowed to play in a cast?

[Darius McCrary]

Wtf. just stay away from injuries for just 1 playoff run for god's sake.

We did. Last year. Still lost.

[Budkin]

Hand is messed up

[HI-FI]

Turnobilliiiiiii

[RD2191]

lmao retire manu

[jestersmash]

Manu throws the ball away and then fouls Gallo. He's back (to his TOSB ways)....

[Obstructed_View]

Manu with the turnover trying the cross court pass. Who'd have thought?

[Budkin]

Turnobili!!! And a foul!!!

[hater]

With TP gone, it's Ginobili fuckup time :pctoss

[ElNono]

turnobili + trip D

[hater]

Manu 2 fouls 1 turnover in las 5 seconds :lmao

[LakerHater]

DAMMIT Manu!

[NASpurs]

Manu is seriously pissing me off now.

[DesignatedT]

wtf are you doing manu. this is seriously becoming pathetic.

[loveforthegame]

I can't take anymore of this from Manu. :td

[HarlemHeat37]

I guess Ginobili still isn't awake, tbh:(..

[ElNono]

Manu with the turnover trying the cross court pass. Who'd have thought?

Actually, I think it was intended for Diaw rigth behind him

[Brunodf]

Stupid fouls:bang

[jestersmash]

Manu "suPERstar" Ginobili with 4 points in 16 minutes :lol

[RD2191]

manu comes in and the defense goes to hell

[EVAY]

Turnobili!!! And a foul!!!

The turnover was bad, but actually, I think the foul was on Boris

[Budkin]

Manu throws it backwards over shoulder no look TO

[HI-FI]

Logan getting them ladies wet tbh.

[ace3g]

Kapow

[NASpurs]

Kawhi for threeeeeee

[ElNono]

Shitobili with a crappy assist

[DPG21920]

McGee is so damn athletic it's crazy.

[Obstructed_View]

Actually, I think it was intended for Diaw rigth behind him

Could be. The swing pass under the basket - which he just did lol - is the only thing he can do when they chase him like that.

[100%duncan]

Fkn Manu haters, you all know you gon bow down to him again in the playoffs tbh per par.

[ElNono]

we cant rebound monkeyball

[RD2191]

fml

[LakerHater]

BLOCK OUT!!

[LakerHater]

Oh shit Tim!

[Brazil]

Word about tp ?

[DPG21920]

That was absolutely phenom defense from McGee there. :wow. He was so patient and timed that block perfectly

[TheGoldStandard]

Damn McGee

[Obstructed_View]

Fkn Manu haters, you all know you gon bow down to him again in the playoffs tbh per par.

Sort of an ignorant statement for you to make. Every single person being critical of Manu would love for him to suddenly start playing well again.

[EVAY]

Tim is really trying to force it, the effort of which is commendable, the execution of which leaves something to be desired.

[DPG21920]

Manu needs to stop thinking and just play. He's in his own head. Those broke plays he still does his thing.

[ElNono]

Word about tp ?

probably getting XRays

[Obstructed_View]

That was absolutely phenom defense from McGee there. :wow. He was so patient and timed that block perfectly

True, but Duncan shouldn't have forced that shot. He probably knew it too.

[100%duncan]

CoJo!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[NASpurs]

Joseph for threeeeeeeeeee

[biskvito]

lmao spurs

[TheGoldStandard]

Execution.. YES!

[ElNono]

Ball moving great with Manu out there...












:lol

[SanDiegoSpursFan]

CJ!!!!!!!!

[ace3g]

CJ 3!!!

[EVAY]

Manu needs to stop thinking and just play. He's in his own head. Those broke plays he still does his thing.

Well said.

[Budkin]

CoJo!!!!!!

[LakerHater]

Wayta close the 3rd!!

[hater]

Looks like Pop told Manu to stop fucking around :tu

[Darius McCrary]

True, but Duncan shouldn't have forced that shot. He probably knew it too.

It was ignorant of Duncan to use his right hand. He used to be damn good with his left

[NASpurs]

Nuggets by the quarters 20/34/21

Spurs will be fine if the Nuggets don't have a repeat of the second quarter.

[loveforthegame]

CJ. :tu

Nice way to end the quarter.

[jestersmash]

Ball moving great with Manu out there...











:lol

CoM literally CoM-ming after a decent 3 min. stretch from Manu

:lol

[Southwest Texas Fan]

Spurs on a run! Great assist by Manu!

[HI-FI]

Sort of an ignorant statement for you to make. Every single person being critical of Manu would love for him to suddenly start playing well again.
this.

we all want to see him flourish, it's just he can be a frustrating player, especially right now. It doesn't help that CoM has been really annoying lately.

though looks like he is getting thins going right now.

[HarlemHeat37]

That was a good move from Duncan, it was better D from McGee..

Tim used the pump fake, which usually beats McGee, but McGee was actually patient and timed it well..

[Obstructed_View]

Word about tp ?

I have the Spurs feed. I'll post up if they say anything. I'm sure someone else will probably beat me to it.

[timtonymanu]

Blair sits the 2nd half again. The Spurs are able to pull up a run.

[ElNono]

Lakeshow 8pt game against Wolves, 2:30 to go

[DesignatedT]

Manu playin better. Big shot CoJo

[SA210]

Manu with the assists :tu

[Brunodf]

No microball= good end of quarter

[Obstructed_View]

Lakeshow 8pt game against Wolves, 2:30 to go

And we won't jinx the other game by talking about it right now. :)

[ElNono]

CoM literally CoM-ming after a decent 3 min. stretch from Manu

:lol

he had a good 1st half, tbh

[EVAY]

Blair sits the 2nd half again. The Spurs are able to pull up a run.

And who said that Pop couldn't learn????:lol

[100%duncan]

Rebound you fuckshits.

[Obstructed_View]

Gotta block a brotha out. Really.

[LakerHater]

TRAVEL!!!

[ElNono]

50-50 balls....

[ElNono]

TP is on the bench

[LakerHater]

C'mon!!

[Quiet Strength]

Fuck manu

[LakerHater]

Nice D!!!

[Southwest Texas Fan]

Fuck Manu!

[Obstructed_View]

Great job of scrambling defense.

[ElNono]

[RD2191]

[100%duncan]

Getting fuckin shitowned by mcgee how cool is that.

[Obstructed_View]

Bullshit call.

[Southwest Texas Fan]

Travel?

[Budkin]

BS call

[LakerHater]

OH SHIT Ref!!!
...WOW!

[Brazil]

TP is on the bench

:tu

[EVAY]

Good D

[urunobili]

All 3 Manu turnovers were deflections by McGee...

[Darius McCrary]

Every second Parker stays out = we are fucked

[phxspurfan]

Nuggs are tough cookies


Coach Karl rocks

[Quiet Strength]

Good news

[Budkin]

Horrible start to 4th

[DPG21920]

I for one am so glad Karl doesn't play McGee. That alone significantly lowers Denver's ceiling.

[Obstructed_View]

Sprained right middle finger for Parker. Expected to return.

[LakerHater]

Tony Sprain right middle finger, expected back

[Southwest Texas Fan]

TP sprained finger.

[EVAY]

Sprained right middle finger for Tony

[ElNono]

that's some weak shit from Tiago...

[100%duncan]

What a way to start the 4th

[LakerHater]

Spurs look like SHIT!

[Southwest Texas Fan]

Come on Splitter!

[crc21209]

Andre Millers fatass once again...:td

[RD2191]

FUK THIS GAME TBH

[Budkin]

Diaw passing up shots!!!

[loveforthegame]

Good news about parker.

[jestersmash]

I didn't catch the memo on TP. What's wrong with him again? :lol

[ElNono]

Really need to get TD/Kawhi back in now

[EVAY]

Get Tony back NOW

[Floyd Pacquiao]

bench failing per par

[crc21209]

So how long does it takr for a sprained finger to heal?

[TheGoldStandard]

Very flat..

[Budkin]

Wow looked like we had the game in hand. Now this again.

[Darius McCrary]

When the slowest oldest player on Denver keeps owning us........spurs may have a match up problem

[hater]

put an NBA caliber player in to handle the ball please

[DesignatedT]

Need to get Parker in and Manu out. He's useless.

[RD2191]

8 point lead gone just like that, lol. what a joke

[Brunodf]

Is Kawhi injured or something?

[Southwest Texas Fan]

Why can't we just give the ball to Kawhi?

[LakerHater]

I didn't catch the memo on TP. What's wrong with him again? :lol

Sprained right middle-finger for TP. Expected to return

[timtonymanu]

I'm confused. Is it 85-84 or 83-84?

[loveforthegame]

I don't feel comfortable watching these Spurs if Leonard, Duncan, and Parker are not in the game.

[ElNono]

Diaw offensive foul smh

[100%duncan]

Diaw you fatass. Shoot that 3 fuck hole.

[RD2191]

:downspin:

[Obstructed_View]

I thought the no-charge circle didn't extend to the fucking baseline. God damn.

[Budkin]

Fatass charge!!!

[Budkin]

Go TP!

[timtonymanu]

:lmao Diaw. He really annoys me.

[RD2191]

what the hell? are we down 1 or up 1?

[HarlemHeat37]

Spurs going small..this should be interesting..

[Southwest Texas Fan]

Fatass charge!!!

He could have shot the three.

[Budkin]

Miller scores at will

[100%duncan]

Bullfuckingshit refs.

[LakerHater]

TRAVEL???!?!?!?!?

[Budkin]

Travel??????

[Southwest Texas Fan]

Another call for a travel!
