Game 71: Denver McNuggets @ Spurs: March 26, 7:30 PM CT

[SpursRock20]

Not many centers can make that kind of pass. Maybe Noah and Gasol can, but that is about it.

[jARS mEsH sEt]

Overall we've looked like total shit in the 3rd quarter and somehow we're up 24 :lmao

[atoyotagaspedal]

Do I have the Denver commentators? The guy just said Manu was trying to flop when he was doubled. LOL
Yeh that shit was pretty hilarious fucking homers.
Manu was right by edge of the court

[SpursFan86]

Yeah, these Denver commentators are horrible. Literally said Tim Duncan deserved a sprained ankle because he was hopping after he disagreed with a call and landed on Kawhi's foot.

Fuck. Hope its just a slight cramp or something...

[PingPong]

Scrub of the day: Mozgov and his numbers.

[SpursRock20]

Ever since he took that game winning charge on Melo.:lol
:lol True, but it actually goes even further back than that. I think the hate all began back in '05 when Manu owned them in the playoffs.

One stupid Parker hero ball shot, 5 point swing.

[DPG21920]

Man, just freaking rest TP the rest of the regular season. With this win tonight, Spurs are in pretty damn good shape. If he's at the point where he's still gassed and you were willing to rest him 3 weeks, why not rest him now when the record is great? He just doesn't have it and rest is the only cure here it seems unless he's just actually injured more than they are letting on.

[SpurPadre]

Ever since he took that game winning charge on Melo.:lol

I thought it was because their former coach Karl was talking shit about him.

[SanDiegoSpursFan]

Nugget's announcers are the worst fucking homers
They're the only announcers who actually hate everyone on the other team. I think they're tied for being homers with some others, but they hate other players more than any other announcing team.

Or maybe he isn't injured at all? Tony seems to coast when the games don't really matter and aren't tight. I really see it as a lack of effort.

Eh, I don't think he's really even trying right now. He knows we don't need him to destroy the defense, he's just out there sucking up minutes and staying in game shape.

By the end of the night, we'd only be up 3 games over OKC and still have to play them one more time along with the Dubs and then Pacers...you lose those 3 games and OKC has the tie-breaker. NO DEAL.

[RD2191]

Here we go.

[SpurPadre]

Eh, I don't think he's really even trying right now. He knows we don't need him to destroy the defense, he's just out there sucking up minutes and staying in game shape.

I don't know. It's really hard for me to believe that when he's had such a drop from his level of play last year. To the point where he needed an extremely long time off for a "non-injured" player. Even after that, he still looks gassed and is still getting rest and really has not played well.

I don't think the coasting card is accurate. I thinks he legitimately tired or hurt or just slumping badly.

[Captivus]

Kmon Kawhi...no shot is easy.

Pop was willing to rest him 3 full weeks with less of a lead so I don't see why a bigger lead would change anything .

[RD2191]

what a shitty 3rd

[SpurPadre]

Pop was willing to rest him 3 full weeks with less of a lead so I don't see why a bigger lead would change anything .

Yeah and there's no indication Pop wants to rest TP for the rest of the season because the stakes are too high right now unlike the last time he gave him that time off because there were still many games to be played. Also, Pop surely didn't think we'd win 14-15 games in a row back then.

[SpursRock20]

Pop was willing to rest him 3 full weeks with less of a lead so I don't see why a bigger lead would change anything .
When he rested him we were still behind the Thunder in the standings so he probably felt that we weren't going to catch them anyway.

[SpurPadre]

It's nothing. We're up 17 at home at the end of 3. DG will be good to go for the next game.

[spurs1990]

So Danny Green taken to the locker room. ...

[EVAY]

We need Diaw's intelligence and ball handling on the floor in the playoffs big time. I hope they plan on playing him a lot.

But I also hope they give him some rest between now and then. He really has played a lot.

[TheGoldStandard]

Oh come on Spurs, we're due a meltdown on here.

[superjames1992]

Green fractured foot.

[TE]

Fuck, injuries aren't something we need...I think Pop played the starters way too much in the third quarter.

[poeticism707]

Pop was willing to rest him 3 full weeks with less of a lead so I don't see why a bigger lead would change anything .

No amount of rest will heal TP. The damage is already done. TP's body is 40.

He's already stupidly overworked himself playing Euroball for over a decade, after telling the press he wouldn't repeat Manu's mistakes.

Well guess what, he did repeat them, and between both Manu and Parker's extra basketball, they've cost the Spurs two extra titles or so.

Hope it was worth it.

I still say we start him over Splitter if we can get to the Finals and have a rematch with Miami.

[Cry Havoc]

It's nothing. We're up 17 at home at the end of 3. DG will be good to go for the next game.

The way we're playing, just give him 2-3 games off. We can deal with it.

Yeah, our D will take a hit but I'm sure Marco can hold the fort for a couple games if need be. It might force Manu to get some extra minutes, though...

[crc21209]

Sloppy ass play :td

Hopefully this isn't a cascade effect and there is a continuation of injuries to different players

[Texas_Ranger]

A 12 point lead when we should be up 30.

[Captivus]

[EVAY]

No amount of rest will heal TP. The damage is already done. TP's body is 40.

He's already stupidly overworked himself playing Euroball for over a decade, after telling the press he wouldn't repeat Manu's mistakes.

Well guess what, he did repeat them, and between both Manu and Parker's extra basketball, they've cost the Spurs two extra titles or so.

Hope it was worth it.

Tony has been playing professional ball since he was 19, and with the Spurs that means 90 to 100 games per year. That's a bit different from Duncan et. al. who only played college ball until they were 22 or 23. Plus, Elias Sports reports Tony running further per game than all but one other point guard in the league, and running faster than any other point guard except two.

So Parker has run further and run faster than anybody on the Spurs team for the last 12 or 13 years. But I'm just sure you're right…it's only because he played ball for his home country (how DARE an athlete play for a reason other than MONEY) for the last couple of years!!! Thank god you pointed that out to us. Oh, and by the way, he has consistently been one of the best performing point guards in each of the last 10 seasons.

Other than those few points, I think your observations are a great contribution to the forum, honest!

[DapDaGenius]

Spurs pick up the pace...these scrubs shouldn't be this close.

I think yall are absolutely crazy that because he made one shot, that "he's playing awesome". Time will tell, but all the data we have shows us something is wrong (tired, hurt or something else). Nothing matters but the playoffs now so let's see how it goes and we will know what the truth is at that time.

[TE]

lmao wow Miami-Indy game getting testier lmao.

The officiating is atrocious.

[SpurPadre]

I'm actually glad this happened. Now, when we go to Denver, we'll just play a more complete game and blow them out like we should have tonight. A win is a win at this point...and the Paper Clips just lost! One less team to worry about grabbing #1 overall.

[Kool Bob Love]

People cliff-jumping on Parker when we aren't even playing meaningful games right now is the fucking joke.

So I'm guess Game 6 and 7 weren't meaningful games last year. Good to know. :tu

TP's regression this season is pretty hard to watch. Worse than Duncan and Ginobili...just like in the mid-2000s when we were winning titles. Hopefully, Timmy and Manu can step up in the playoffs and carry the team to a title cause I'm not expecting much from Tony right now.

[Budkin]

Man this Spurs team has gotten way too complacent. The problem with huge win streaks.

[EVAY]

He rested on a non back to back against PHI and tonight is not a back to back.

Look I also think you are over-reacting. He hardly took any shots in the first half because they weren't needed. Also, if you notice, he was often not in the pg position in the first half. Someone else was bringing the ball up and taking the ball into the offensive set. I think he is doing what he is always doing, i.e., whatever Pop's game plan is for the night. And frankly, if Pop wants to find out if the team can play with Parker basically taking a lesser role, now is the time to find out.

One last point…the two starting guards for Denver have been shooting less than 25% most all night. Parker has been playing good D…maybe focusing on it.


He takes fewer shots tonight than Duncan, Ginobili or Mills and he is STILL accused of hero ball by some folks on this board. The guy cannot please this group and that is all there is.

[Cry Havoc]

This game was a good wake up call IMO. Our guys were getting pretty bored of these blowouts.

[DPG21920]

Wow, Faried going right at Duncan with the score. Impressive move.

[poeticism707]

If it weren't for MVP saving the Spurs bacon tonight, the Spurs would be getting clowned in the NBA forum in about 5 mins.

Someone else was bringing the ball up and taking the ball into the offensive set. I think he is doing what he is always doing, i.e., whatever Pop's game plan is for the night. And frankly, if Pop wants to find out if the team can play with Parker basically taking a lesser role, now is the time to find out.

One last point…the two starting guards for Denver have been shooting less than 25% most all night. Parker has been playing good D…maybe focusing on it.


He takes fewer shots tonight than Duncan, Ginobili or Mills and he is STILL accused of hero ball by some folks on this board. The guy cannot please this group and that is all there is.

Well, again, my comments (can't speak for others) stem from this entire season's body of work. Tonight is a reminder (as you see, the Spurs did need him tonight) and he just hasn't been very good despite getting ample rest and limited minutes.

I think Pop is secretly happy how this game has gone down. Expect a much more focused effort in Denver with or without Danny. We still need Danny soon, though.

If it weren't for MVP saving the Spurs bacon tonight, the Spurs would be getting clowned in the NBA forum in about 5 mins.

:dramaquee How would our ego's survive?

Spurs hate on this board is approaching Lakers fans hate for Gasol. It's fucking disgusting.

Nobody hates Parker. He's a top 5 spurs blah blah blah. We all fell for the mvparker bs.

He was addressing me. I am not hating at all.
