Nuggets @ Spurs Game Blog Thread

[kolko]

I predict Manu is going to go ballistic on Thursday (our next game).

Next game is on Friday.

[ca®lo]

martins an ass!

[T Park]

Yeah, Fridayw ill be tough too going up against Larry Hughes.


BTW, classy move Kenyon, enticing the crowd more then saying Fuck You.


Im sick of that asshole.

[1Parker1]

Next game is on Friday.

:oops Uhhh....that's what I meant.

[T Park]

nice FTs Nazr.

:)

[Knoxville Spur]

So far we are letting Denver hang around for too long. But I have to think our depth will wear them out soon, we are throwing a lot of bodies at them!

[clooneyschick04]

Im sick of that asshole.

Ditto.

[td4mvp3]

so what's the score?

[Trainwreck2100]

Someone want to remind Martin he's a little bitch.

[Dre_7]

Good foul by Nazr. Thats how you foul a guy tryin to lay up!

[1Parker1]

I think Pop needs to put in Finley or NVE.

[Tek_XX]

Are the Nuggs basically playing their same lineup from last year?

[T Park]

Bowen looks terrible.

Anthony is abusing him, terrible shots.


Only way to keep Nazr from getting rebounds now is to literally pull him away from the rim.

Nice miss there ref.

[T Park]

Add Leonard, but pretty much Tex.


BTW, who said Najera is a stiff??

6 points now??

Ill trade Rasho for him right now.

[angel_luv]

Because Angel threatened Pop witha switchblade in the hallway before the game.


Hahaha! Let's just say this division of the Slovenian Mafia made Pop an offer he couldn't refuse.


Martin is asking for a tail kicking! I can't stand him!!!!

[Pistons < Spurs]

so what's the score?


64-61 Denver

[Dre_7]

I am lovin Nazr's aggresiveness!!!

Maybe hes feelin a lil dissed after having the starting job takin away from him.

[boutons]

Nugs gonna win if they keep shooting 53% to Spurs 46%, and Nugs +6 RBs.

[T Park]

Boy your hopin arent you Boutons.....

[Tek_XX]

Dre stop sucking off Nazr, he only looks good compared to Rasho.

[T Park]

Lose the fuckin hate Tek.

[td4mvp3]

how much time is left? this is the third, right?

[ca®lo]

wohooo nazr!!!

[clooneyschick04]

GOOD block Duncan! Take that Martin!

[Pistons < Spurs]

how much time is left? this is the third, right?

3:58 in the 3rd left 67-66 Denver

[Manu'sMagicalLeftHand]

SA 4:08 Nick Van Exel made 3-pt. Jump Shot, Assist Nick Van Exel

:smokin :smokin :smokin

Damn what a good signing!

[NASHville]

Melo is looking to lock in that max money.

[milkyway21]

SA 4:08 Nick Van Exel made 3-pt. Jump Shot, Assist Nick Van Exel :elephant

so, what wrong with Manu? is he ok?

[Tek_XX]

T park acting like his never said shit on the board before, your shit stinks too

[T Park]

nice job by Finley to draw the 4th on Anthony.

Misses his first FT.

Hes now officially a Spur.

[Trainwreck2100]

WTf Oberto gets the lob deflected by the damn oompa loompa.

[Knoxville Spur]

Entire second unit in, let's see what they can do.

NVE-Barry-Finley-Horry-Oberto

[nkdlunch]

Oberto!!! nice rebound and assist!!!!

[T Park]

his never said shit on the board before, your shit stinks too

Wanna translate that to english for me?

[Spurologist]

martin, melo, and canby w/ four fouls

[nkdlunch]

Rasho and Nazr were NULL. Oberto will start soon.

[angel_luv]

Martin is going down. I cannot stand him. Bleh!

[td4mvp3]

WTf Oberto gets the lob deflected by the damn oompa loompa.
who is oompa loompa?

[angel_luv]

On a more pleasant side note, Sean looked super handsome in his suit tonight. =)

[Dre_7]

Melo, Camby, and Martin all have 4 fouls if i am not mistaken.

And Tek, What other big man (other than Tim and Horry) on SA is playing more aggresive than Nazr?

[NASHville]

Nazr will be the starter soon.
From what I saw last year he is going to be a very good player.

[nkdlunch]

Martin is going down. I cannot stand him. Bleh!


same old Martin. will Fold in the playoffs like usual.

[Spurologist]

who is oompa loompa?

:lol. Boykins

[Dre_7]

Rasho and Nazr were NULL. Oberto will start soon.

You watchin the sam game as us??

[Trainwreck2100]

Rasho and Nazr were NULL. Oberto will start soon.

You're joking right, he got a pass stolen by Boykins he's Rashoed at least 2 layups and he keeps getting rebounds taken from him.

[nkdlunch]

You watchin the sam game as us??

are u saying Nazr or Rasho are doing better???

[Spurologist]

are u saying Nazr or Rasho are doing better???

nothing is clear cut right now

[td4mvp3]

i've missed the explaination but why "oompa loompa?"

[td4mvp3]

and how has tim fared? i haven't seen much mention of him

[boutons]

damn, out shot, out rebounded, our ASTed. come on, spurs

[nkdlunch]

and how has tim fared? i haven't seen much mention of him

same old Tim. Parker, and especially Manu are sucking

[Dre_7]

are u saying Nazr or Rasho are doing better???

Nazr is, yes.

[Trainwreck2100]

i've missed the explaination but why "oompa loompa?"

He;s small and teaches us lessons as to why we should not overeat, watch too much tv, chew gum all the time, or spoil are kids. But mostly cause he's small.

[Trainwreck2100]

Gotta love Oberto with the letting of the najerascore and the turnover.

[Dre_7]

Oberto got owned by Najara, than gets an O foul. Lets see Tim or Nazr soon!!

[T Park]

Id like to know what Oberto has done to make him the clear cut favorite for starter.

His defense sucks, he doesn't jump,


The guy is beyond unimpressive.

He looks like a rookie to the game, not just the NBA.

[boutons]

damn, Spurs finish 3rd qtr badly.

[Trainwreck2100]

Rasho>Oberto

[T Park]

Nice D on Najera Fabricio.


Once again, Someone wanna tell me how fuckin horrible Najera is?

[angel_luv]

I want to dominate this quarter. Also I hope Benji gets to play a bit. =)

[nkdlunch]

I want to dominate this quarter. Also I hope Benji gets to play a bit. =)

who the f... is benji. Dogs are not allowed

[Manu'sMagicalLeftHand]

Ok, enough chit chat, 4th. quarter, Manu, Horry, TD, NVE and someone else should be on the floor.

[Trainwreck2100]

I Hate That Damn Tmac Commercial!!!!!!!

[TDMVPDPOY]

so far so good from the benchs output, now its time for duncan to take over

[nkdlunch]

I Hate That Damn Tmac Commercial!!!!!!!

hey what was that alig one, I just heard him say, you're speaking canada...

[Spurologist]

Id like to know what Oberto has done to make him the clear cut favorite for starter.

His defense sucks, he doesn't jump,


The guy is beyond unimpressive.

He looks like a rookie to the game, not just the NBA.

This is first time I've seen the guy play, and I don't know if he can play much better. He could be a better player coming off the bench. I say Nazr starts.

[Pistons < Spurs]

and how has tim fared? i haven't seen much mention of him



End of the 3rd Denver 72 Spurs 69

Duncan 18pts 5rbs 3blks
Manu 3pts 3rbs 3to's
TP 12pts 1 rb 1ast
Bowen 4pts 4rbs 2asts
Rasho 2pts 2rbs
Finley 5pts 4rbs 1ast
NVE 5pts 2asts 2to's
Fabri 6pts 4rbs 3pf's


only 12 asts but 13to's for the Spurs

[T Park]

Typical Brent Barry night.

1 of 5

[milkyway21]

Id like to know what Oberto has done to make him the clear cut favorite for starter.

His defense sucks, he doesn't jump,


The guy is beyond unimpressive.

He looks like a rookie to the game, not just the NBA.come on TPark, the starter debate is just between Nazr or Rasho. Oberto is not a favorite yet.

BTW, let's give Oberto a break, this one isthe center of the Olympic team medalist Argentina , he has credentials to back himself up.

and it's just his 1st regular season game.
come on. :rolleyes

[Pistons < Spurs]

everytime I watch Najera, I come away more impressed.

[Trainwreck2100]

That damn oompa loompa.

[nkdlunch]

Nice D on Najera Fabricio.


Once again, Someone wanna tell me how fuckin horrible Najera is?

Najera is scoring on everyone tonight

[1Parker1]

Damn, Tony on fire to start off 4th quarter...am I not watching the same game as everyone? Why are people complaining that Tony is having a bad game? He has 18 points on 9-16 shooting. Sure, he should have more assists, but it's not his fault people are clanking their shots...

[ca®lo]

parker posting up!!! scores against boykins!!

finley scoreS!!!! yesssss

[Spurologist]

that might tp's first post up....ever

[JoeChalupa]

Looking good. Denver has improved as well.

[TDMVPDPOY]

cmon duncan a few more rebounds and 2 more blocks would do good for fantasy ball

[Dre_7]

Finley!!

I love the former Badger Already!!! (I have always liked him though)

[T Park]

lol....

Tony parker nice offense here in the 4th

WHAT A PASS TO FIN!!!!

TIME OUT DENVER!!!!


Michaelf FREAKIN FINLEY!!

WHAT A SHOT

9 points and arely played....

Unreal. THIS, is the Michael Finley I was hopin for.

In retrospect, Manu shoulda sat out and let Finley start. He couldve prob had 15 by now.

[nkdlunch]

Finley is money

[1Parker1]

I'm sorry? How soon people forget...

[Pistons < Spurs]

Parker should score 50pts w/ Boykins defending him.

[angel_luv]

who the f... is benji. Dogs are not allowed


Beno. I've called him Benji that since early in his rookie year.
That and Beno Boy.

I guess I could start calling him Bensie... new year new nick name. =)

[Dre_7]

lol....

Tony parker nice offense here in the 4th

Thats another thing Fin gives the Spurs. Rest for Manu!!!

[Trainwreck2100]

come on TPark, the starter debate is just between Nazr or Rasho. Oberto is not a favorite yet.

BTW, let's give Oberto a break, this one isthe center of the Olympic team medalist Argentina , he has credentials to back himself up.

and it's just his 1st regular season game.
come on. :rolleyes

And Horace Grant has 3 rings does that mean you would have ever wanted him here.

[clooneyschick04]

Another catch and shoot for Finley!! Yay!!!

[nkdlunch]

Stupid fuckin Martin. Its just the 1st game of the season :rolleyes

[milkyway21]

i think Najera is good. I was even thankful he didn't play against us in the last playoffs. He could be a big headache to an injured Duncan.

[clooneyschick04]

Go FINLEY!!!!!!!!!

[nkdlunch]

Finley Finley Finley Finley Finley Finley!!!!

[ca®lo]

FINLEY ON FIRE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!! YEAH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! damnit im getting goosebumps!!!

[milkyway21]

Timmy :wow
Finley:wow
NVE:wow
TP :wow

finished them guys! Go Spurs!

---------------------
Nuggets: Win or go home.

[Mavs<Spurs]

Agree with Phillygirl. Whoever bet the other way just does not know anything about the NBA. Pure, unadulterated bad luck. Kind of like being struck by lightening. Wasn't your fault. Won't happen again.
Write it off!

Tony is playing for the all star team if he keeps this up.

Finley is going for sixth man of the year.

Spurs are going for a perfect 82-0 record.

[boutons]

let's see some crunch time defense

[prrao]

Haven't seen Melo too many times. Pretty impressive today. 21 pts, 8 boards

[milkyway21]

Finley is going for sixth man of the :tu

[Mavs<Spurs]

Mark of a great player vs a good player.

If the good player's shot is not falling, he is not effective.

Manu got himself to the line several times, making it happen.

Smart, determined.

[nkdlunch]

Martin crying like a bitch. seems familiar

[prrao]

Fugazy crying again

[Trainwreck2100]

Anthony is throwing it off the same area of the backboard somebody go clean it off.

[td4mvp3]

score?

[nkdlunch]

spurs up by 11 1 minute to go

[prrao]

Spurs 102-91, 1:01 to go

[milkyway21]

tony is tired :lol

yeah!

[Duncanoypi]

TP is on....

[Spurologist]

102-91

[1Parker1]

Horry with the important Offensive rebound that led to a Tony Parker layup with just about a minute left in the game!

[phyzik]

haha, denver getting rattled. Kenyon loosing the headband right after the travel call.

[cqsallie]

Suns/Mavericks up next on TNT. What the hell! I can go without sleep....

[Trainwreck2100]

spurs up by 11 1 minute to go


If a comeback happens they will make a carmello commercial where he turns into a transformer

[ca®lo]

where d hell did all the fans go? :) hehhe a lot of fans leaving the sbc already!

[TDMVPDPOY]

its over

[clooneyschick04]

1-0!!!!

[prrao]

And TD is 9-0 in opening games!

[Pistons < Spurs]

LMAO.....Horry fighting TD for the last rebound

[ca®lo]

hahaha nice mini battle for the ball rebound by tim and horry :)

[Spurologist]

ah. I was off by one on my prediction. 102-92

[phyzik]

LOL, Was that Timmy and Horry fighting eachother for the ball at the end there?

[td4mvp3]

jesus, that's quite the turn around. when i left, the board was lots of doom and gloom. how was duncan? the new guys?

[Trainwreck2100]

If a comeback happens they will make a carmello commercial where he turns into a transformer


Well I guess there's no commercial with carmellotron

[1Parker1]

Spurs 102
Nuggets 91

FINAL SCORE!!! :elephant

Tony with 26
Tim with 19 and 10
Finley with 16 and 4
Manu with 10 and 4 rebounds

[Mavs<Spurs]

Manu back to the line.

Impressive. Turning a tough game for him, playing while injured and not having things go his way, into a solid contribution and leading the Spurs in the fourth with Finley, Parker and the threat of Duncan.

When Tony is hitting his jumper, he is literally unguardable.

He's about the fastest guy in the league especially with the ball.

Have to give props to the two guys who called it right and they did it before the game. Major props.

This is why the Spurs are the team that is the favorite to win it all again.

Best and deepest team in the league. Best defensive team in the league. Dangerous offensive team. Almost unstoppable offensively. the Duncan + dilemma when the plus is a proven shooter.

[angel_luv]

Yea!

[Jimcs50]

Billy Ocean was the difference tonight...he got SA going in the 4th Q and they never looked back after that.

[nkdlunch]

jesus, that's quite the turn around. when i left, the board was lots of doom and gloom. how was duncan? the new guys?

Somewhat of Spurs defense on 4th quarter. Manu, Tony, Tim, Finley, Horry had to close it out. Nuggets cooled down when Martin lost control of himself. Same as usual.

[Budkin]

Way to go Spurs... awesome 4th quarter. Finley is just what we needed... congrats to him!

[prrao]

jesus, that's quite the turn around. when i left, the board was lots of doom and gloom. how was duncan? the new guys?

TD was the only one who came out to play. Looked good. NVE gave a little spark. Oberto wasn't bad. It was all TP and Finley in the 4th Q. Manu sucked for 3 Qs, got going a little in the last.

Good, solid win.

[Brutalis]

Duncan also had 5 assists!

Tony wasnt hitting open guys for shit.

Manu seemed a little slow and dependent on the ref.

Finley tore it up, and I hope he does that all year!

Nice win, awesome hustle by Oberto.

[Mavs<Spurs]

Notice too that we won without playing Duncan that much.
That is scary.

[angel_luv]

What a great night!

[Pistons < Spurs]

Finley sparked them, and then TP carried them.

IF TP could always play like this, he would be a perrenial All-Star. But I want to see him do it at least through the break before I'm convinced. Consistency is going to be his biggest thing.

[angel_luv]

Oberto on the impact player show! =)

[hussker]

REGGIE MILLER NEEDS TO SHUT UP.... Homing for the Pacers and claiming the NO/OKC Owned QUEENS will win the Western Conference? Kenny and Charles should send his ass fishing now...

[Mavs<Spurs]

Sacramento is going to win the Pacific, agree with Chuck. He's right.

Spurs at this point have to be considered the prohibitive favorites barring serious injury problems or an invasion by aliens.

[Brutalis]

I have to say it again: Awesome hustle by Oberto. That alone was good defense and good movement on offense. From the looks of that game we will fit in juuuuuuust fine.

[nkdlunch]

Finley sparked them, and then TP carried them.

IF TP could always play like this, he would be a perrenial All-Star. But I want to see him do it at least through the break before I'm convinced. Consistency is going to be his biggest thing.

YES Tony came through in the 4th!

[TDMVPDPOY]

the question is how did orbs+nve+finley looked when playing defense? were they all in position etc?? how they fared with system?

Oh yeh if finley avgs 16ppg as a 6th man, its better then starting as a mav hahahaha

[nkdlunch]

I have to say it again: Awesome hustle by Oberto. That alone was good defense and good movement on offense. From the looks of that game we will fit in juuuuuuust fine.

THank you!!! even Reggie said so!!!!!!! I was right!

[Brutalis]

Sacramento is going to win the Pacific, agree with Chuck. He's right.

Spurs at this point have to be considered the prohibitive favorites barring serious injury problems or an invasion by aliens.
Didnt they get owned by the Hornets tonight? Come on..

[hussker]

Sacramento is going to win the Pacific, agree with Chuck. He's right.

Spurs at this point have to be considered the prohibitive favorites barring serious injury problems or an invasion by aliens.

Disagree with the Sacto prediction...but, what does it matter when the Spurs are in the NBA at all? WOW What a game tonight!
GSG
GSG
GSG

[TDMVPDPOY]

we are on record for 82-0

[Vashner]

Oberto did look good.

[hussker]

OK...DAL AND PHX....has to be a 140-128 game

[Brutalis]

S. Claxton 20:53 7-10 1-1 2-2 0 1 1 4 2 1 3 1 17

Talk about owning the "Pacific" champs.

[Shiner Bock Girl]

REGGIE MILLER NEEDS TO SHUT UP.... Homing for the Pacers and claiming the NO/OKC Owned QUEENS will win the Western Conference? Kenny and Charles should send his ass fishing now...


I love Barkley...He is always for the spurs and tells it like it is....GOD I LOVE THIS GUY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Trainwreck2100]

Oberto did look good.

no he didn't

[cqsallie]

Of course, Charles Barkley has already stated that the Spurs will win it all. He said the same thing after the first game last season. Could the dude be right two times in a row?

[hussker]

we are on record for 82-0

Dude...80-2, ok? A little humility here! hehehe

[hussker]

Of course, Charles Barkley has already stated that the Spurs will win it all. He said the same thing after the first game last season. Could the dude be right two times in a row?

GINOOOOOBBBBILLLLLLIIIIIIIII!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[hussker]

Oberto did look good.

Oberto did look LOST...

[Pistons < Spurs]

Oberto did look good.


He looked alright. He moves fairly well. Not too often you see him just standing around. Quick feet. But looks pretty sloppy w/ the ball (rebounding & passing)

[hussker]

He looked alright. He moves fairly well. Not too often you see him just standing around. Quick feet. But looks pretty sloppy w/ the ball (rebounding & passing)

LOST...but that is OK, it is early for him. Look for him to peak in March after the All Star break

[prrao]

I think balancing minutes is going to be a major pain this year. I don't really see any ego clashes because Pop has ultimate control, and won't hesistate to bench anybody who bitches too much. But you just can't play 11 guys every night.

I think Pop will be (secretly) happy if one or two players get minor injuries along the way.

[Trainwreck2100]

He looked alright. He moves fairly well. Not too often you see him just standing around. Quick feet. But looks pretty sloppy w/ the ball (rebounding & passing)

For the love of God. HE GOT THE BALL DEFLECTED BY THE SMALLEST PLAYER IN THE LEAGUE OFF OF A PASS TO ANOTHER BIG.

That was a Rasho level of suckiness right there.

[Shiner Bock Girl]

Now PPL, let the real NBA season begin.YEAH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[mcornelio]

all in all i think we look great, timmy has that extra hop in his step, the newcomers are fitting right in, manu was off but hes injured so i wouldnt worry, and i think finley is going to be that spark off the bench that we used to get from manu when he was coming off the bench, also did anyone notice carmelo tonight, he has really re-designed his game, he looks like a different player, maybe he can finally show lebron whos the better player this year... BASKETBALL IS BACK BITCHES !! REJOICE....

never thought i would say this but...

Fear Tha Tim Duncan Frizzo

[cqsallie]

I love Barkley...He is always for the spurs and tells it like it is....GOD I LOVE THIS GUY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Yeah! You love Charlie Chubby-Cheeks now, but he didn't always love the Spurs. His admiration was a long time coming, but when he decided to commit... Man! Did he ever commit. :fro

[Brutalis]

Oberto did look LOST...
Typically I think most people would assume that but it seems from watching him, he travels with the basketball no matter where it is on the court, his body, head, I cant explain. He sort of has this out of control style to him like Manu except it was just defensive pressure. But he was moving like a horse in the lane, but was outjumped a lot.

[prrao]

Of course, Charles Barkley has already stated that the Spurs will win it all. He said the same thing after the first game last season. Could the dude be right two times in a row?

I think Barkley has picked the Spurs each of the last 4-5 years.

[hussker]

I think balancing minutes is going to be a major pain this year. I don't really see any ego clashes because Pop has ultimate control, and won't hesistate to bench anybody who bitches too much. But you just can't play 11 guys every night.

I think Pop will be (secretly) happy if one or two players get minor injuries along the way.

As long as there are SIX who know where they fit and others who understand the plan, we cannot lose. There should never EVER be a time where three of our team members cannot go through the same door at the same time. This team is just that...a team...reference the Pats/The White Sox/whatever you want to call it...TEAM...Might be boring, but I love it! This is how we have won when we have won. David understanding his role and allowing Tim to be the man. TEAM!

[NuGGeTs-FaN]

it was a good game but i guess it showed us what happens without Karl at the helm, our rotation was crazy...we have the best defensive PG in the league and he is on the bench the whole game and even when TP was lighting it up in the 4th qtr........

Melo smoked bowen as i knew he would, Bowen isnt in his head anymore and wont shut him down again.....


Good game, it will be interesting to meet again when karl is running the show, Scotty just didnt do a good job at all.......

Its a long season and altho it hurts to lose, the Nene injury is more painful......long way to go yet

on a positive note, the kings got smashed by the Hornets lol :smokin

You may well be correct on this, but he has only picked the Spurs after the first game in 2004-2005 and this season. BTW: Have you read Fox Sports list of the most underrated and most overrated players of all time? Worth a look, although I can't totally agree... Maybe I was just put off by some of the underrated players' shenanigans. :rolleyes

Melo tossed a lot of garbage too...watch the replays. Bowen does not have to be in his cranium. Spurs are the class of the NBA right now. Not homing, just that no one can really touch them.

It is nice to be with a team that has to defend 82 times a year!!!!!!

GO SPURS GO!!!!!!

AHHHH, revert to the old "the refs wanted them to win" line. Do n ot bring that in here. I will simply mention a few names...Steve Javie; Salvatore Bennett...Need I say more. Do not go there with ref stuff in SA my friend, won't work. Go play that on another board. Speaking of board....check the SCORE one...I do not see a final for MELO vs BOWEN....

PS...How did you like our rings????

Absolutely true! It wouldn't be a five-man vs. five-man game if it was all up to one player. Would you really get that excited watching a game of H-O-R-S-E? :nope

Yeah, some would say Amare smoked SA last year. Who cares, SA won the series.

[angel_luv]

Tony looked nice for his post game interviews. He wears jackets well. =)

Just too bad no one interviewed Sho cause he was the one I really wanted to see. =)

No Probs Ms Nesterovich! Timmy in a Jacket huh? Did it match his hairdo? Butterfly Collar would have been nice with a top hat and big Bootsy glasses!!! HEHEHE!

[hussker]

PLEASE...HAHAHA

[loveforthegame]

If anyone had any doubts about whether Finley, NVE, and Oberto will contribute this season, I think they shut them down tonight. They looked at home with the team.

It was good to see them playing defense (some lapses), hustling, rebounding, or making the extra pass. The scoring will be there with the looks they'll get but nice to see Fin and NVE show some defensive ability.

[hussker]

When do the PreSeason 2005-2006 NBA Champs get their rings? I mean, the REST of the league made a big deal about it and all....hehehehe

[angel_luv]

No details about Timmy's outfit but I am sure he looked great. Hopefully Kori can fill us in on all the details. =)

Eveyone pop yo collas, because Spurs will win at least 65 games.

SAN ANTONIO (AP) -- Michael Finley gave the San Antonio Spurs the instant offense they coveted when they signed him in the offseason.

Finley scored 11 of his 16 points during a four-minute span of the fourth quarter Tuesday to steady the struggling Spurs and help them to a 102-91 win over Denver in their first game defending the championship they won in June.

``A lot has changed in the last year, but the game of basketball has remained the same,'' said Finley, who played the past eight years in Dallas. ``I put myself in a position where I'm very happy, very comfortable. I'm just going out there and playing.''

Tony Parker scored 14 of his 26 points in the fourth, making all seven of his shots for San Antonio, which trailed by five early in the quarter. The Spurs missed only three of their 16 attempts in the period.

``There's a reason the Spurs are the defending champions,'' said Scott Brooks, Denver's acting coach while George Karl sits out a two-game suspension. ``They really execute down the stretch. They just don't make many errors, and if you do, they really punish you.''

Before the game, San Antonio unveiled its third championship banner in the rafters of the SBC Center, and NBA commissioner David Stern was there to shake hands with the players who received their white gold-and-diamond title rings.

Then the Spurs came out flat.

``We were a little antsy to play the game, but at the same time you want to do too many things in the first minutes,'' said Manu Ginobili, who finished with 10 points on 2-for-9 shooting.

During the ring ceremony, Finley saw clearly why he wanted to come to San Antonio.

``I was like a kid again when one of your friends on the block has something and you told your mom, 'I want one of those,''' he said of the jewelry that has so far eluded him during his career. ``It was a little bit emotional for me, so I played like that was what I was playing for.''

San Antonio trailed most of the second half until Finley hit a 19-footer to put the Spurs up 79-78 with about nine minutes remaining in the game. Then hit another jumper, followed by a 3-pointer.

``He's a professional,'' said Spurs coach Gregg Popovich. ``He's not going to shy away from a jump shot.''

With about seven minutes left, Finley made his play of the night.

He missed a corner jumper that was rebounded by Tim Duncan, and he cut to the basket for a pass and dunked it with enthusiasm to make it 86-81.

Duncan had 19 points and 10 rebounds for the Spurs, who won their 11th straight regular-season home game.

Carmelo Anthony led Denver with 23 points, while Kenyon Martin added 19. Eduardo Najera scored 14 and Earl Boykins 13.

``I though we played well but it really comes down to making plays late in the game,'' said Martin. ``They did it, we didn't.''

For most of the game, they were without key reserve Nene, who left in the first quarter with a leg injury.

Duncan, who scored eight straight points midway through the first period, stole the ball from Nene under the Nuggets' basket and then made a layup at the other end to give San Antonio its first lead at 20-19 after the Spurs lagged by as many as nine.

Nene hobbled off the floor after the play with what the team described as a sprained right anterior cruciate ligament. He did not return.

Down by six after one quarter, Denver took a 30-29 lead on a 3-point play by Najera early in the second. Boykins scored nine of his 11 first-half points in the period on 4-for-5 shooting. The Nuggets took a 48-46 lead at the break on a tip-in by Marcus Camby with 36 seconds left.

[T Park]

Oberto on the impact player show! =)

Does Bill Schoening have clue 1 about basketball?!?!

[Carie]

Does Bill Schoening have clue 1 about basketball?!?!
I think a lot of who comes out depends on the players availability, whether they're being interviewed at the time, etc.

[Kori Ellis]

No details about Timmy's outfit but I am sure he looked great. Hopefully Kori can fill us in on all the details. =)

Duncan was wearing a very small suit jacket -- obviously not his. The arms were about four inches too short and he wore the collar up Elvis style. He was wearing dress jeans and a button down blue striped shirt untucked.

The rest of the Spurs I saw were in suits, except Manu who had a dress shirt and slacks.

[T Park]

I dont understand why Duncan is acting like such a baby about this whole thing.

Comes from not having a real job I guess.

Little embarassing how much of a child hes acting like with this.

[IcemanCometh]

you're one to talk about not having a real job

[T Park]

Did I ask for your opinion???

HMMMMM nope.

Goodbye.

[IcemanCometh]

did we ask for yours?

does anyone really ever?

[ducks]

Spurs by 10. Manu won't play. The Spurs will come out hot wanting to prove their worthy-ness after their disappointing final week of the preseason, will be up by 10 after 1st quarter. Denver will get it close in the 2nd and the score will be very close at the half. Spurs have a strong 3rd quarter and have the game in hand by the last 5:00 of the game. Big nights for Duncan & Parker. (At least I hope it goes this way!)


spurs by 10 you were right :elephant

I heard you mention this on The React last night and couldn't help but laugh at the mental image presented :lol Almost like Chris Farley in Tommy Boy "faaat guy in a little coat" hehe.

Pop I noticed changed before giving interviews. Looked like he was wearing a polo shirt. No cap though.

I saw the video this morning. I wanted to reach through the screen and fix Timmy's collar for him.

Michael Finley looked very sharp.

Gno looked very nice too so hopefully he doesn't get in truoble for not having a jacket.

But the question of the hour is, what was Rasho wearing??? =)

[Vashner]

lol gonna have to call in the Fab 5 for Duncan...

ROFL could you imagine that episode??

[TDMVPDPOY]

Duncan dressin like that will cost him this seasons mvp :(

[spurs=bling]
