Spurs vs Nuggets Game Blog

[Kori Ellis]

The game is too early.

That is all

[Brutalis]

Oh, it's a nooner?

[Manu20]

Go Spurs!

[polandprzem]

Go Rick Barry Go!

[SLOVENIAN 8]

The game is too early.

That is all


For me it is perfect time :spin :spin Here is 18.40

Anyone know for some live streaming of game?

[Budkin]

I think it's a good plan to start Barry and continue to brin Fin in off the bench. Keeps some consistency and besides... Barry started against the Nuggs in the playoffs last year after game 1 and that worked out well. Go Bones!

[manu]

MANU!!!!!!!! :elephant

[Brutalis]

nobody goin to the chat so i guess im here for the game.

Barry is soooo slow on defense.

[TheTruth]

I hate Eduardo Najera.

That is all.

[Brutalis]

Spurs getting bad calls, and none their way. Sadddd..

[Brutalis]

18-14 Denver a few mins left in the 1st

[dimsah]

what's happening? I am not getting this game in my area.

[boutons_]

neither team is hitting shit, Spurs 33%

[Brutalis]

22-16 end of the 1st.

Spurs getting shit with the refs. Denver went on a 13-2 run to end the first. All cause Duncan was taken out.

[Manu20]

[loveforthegame]

That 1st quarter sucked. Barry (0-2) and Finley (0-1) took only 3 shots in 12 minutes. Need scoring from one of them today.

[dimsah]

When was he taken out? Around the 5 min mark as usual?

[Manu20]

Spurs are shooting .316% in the first quarter. :pctoss

[Brutalis]

When was he taken out? Around the 5 min mark as usual?
yeah.

[Brutalis]

Duncan didn't get a call, but Melo does... what the fuck is going on here? Duncan is flaming mad...

[Brutalis]

24-20

[Pero]

What`s up with Rasho? 3 fouls already?

[Dre_7]

Nazr= 9 points so far.

I hate Boykins!

Spurs down 32-27.

[Tek_XX]

Did the Spurs just wake up?

[Manu20]

Rasho with 3 fouls.

[Brutalis]

Um. Duncan can't get a call to save his life. This shit better change during the timeout cause these refs are drunk.

Spurs better get out of the 1-2-2 as well. Boykins burned us with 2 straight three's.

[itzsoweezee]

rasho nesterovic = one game wonder

the scrub has gone back to his usual self

[Pero]

yawn

[TDMGTP]

nazr doin work

[exstatic]

OK, who stole Brent and replaced him with Jon? :lol Not that I'm complaining.

[Dre_7]

I can only hear the game (audio pass) but it sounds like Barry is playing very well today.

[ChumpDumper]

It's stunning that folks can't figure out what matchups favor our respective centers.

[ChumpDumper]

I can only hear the game (audio pass) but it sounds like Barry is playing very well today.Barry is playing with some real fire today. Making the most of his opportunity.

[Brutalis]

34 all. Duncan owned a 4 on 1 break against him.

[Tek_XX]

Van Exel forget about passing to Nasty

[exstatic]

Brent IS playing well. Must be the fact that he and Manu both got short haircuts recently. :lol

[Brutalis]

Nazr, you freaking idiot. Play some defense fool. Elson already burned him with 3 jumpers.

[Tek_XX]

Nazr, you freaking idiot. Play some defense fool. Elson already burned him with 3 jumpers.

The defense hurts his head.

[thispego]

did he call him francisco oberto?

[loveforthegame]

Oberto looks good out there.

[Dre_7]

2 straight buckets for faboulus Fabricio!(sp?)

[exstatic]

Nazr, you freaking idiot. Play some defense fool. Elson already burned him with 3 jumpers.
He's playing it right. If Ellson wants to shoot jumpers, LET him. The announcers were even amazed that he made three, let alone one.

[Tek_XX]

I don't like our infamous "Leave a guy wide open under the basket" defense.

[Dre_7]

He's playing it right. If Ellson wants to shoot jumpers, LET him. The announcers were even amazed that he made three, let alone one.

And if Nazr doesnt let him shoot the jumper and Denver gets a layup, they will also blame Nazr. :lol Oh well.

[Tek_XX]

Let's just keep nazr away from shaq, i clearly can't handle that shit.

[Dre_7]

Let's just keep nazr away from shaq, i clearly can't handle that shit.

I agree with you on that!

[austinfan]

Oberto!!!

[loveforthegame]

Haha. Finley draws the foul and still gets the shot to go in. What was that.

[bonesinaz]

did he call him francisco oberto?

Yes, at least twice.

[Tek_XX]

It's all about Steve Javie isn't it Stevie.

[exstatic]

Is that the "team coat" that Manu has on, or has he purchased one? :lol

[boutons_]

Spurs shooting 1-9 3Gs, 11%.

Spurs winning RB and paint points, and 92% FTs!

But shooting poorly, ahead by only 1 pt at half.

[leemajors]

i thought the team coat was for away games? =]
pop is finally letting barry do what he does best, run the offense and we started playing a lot better offense when he was. he also got oberto involved, who also played really well. as long as he doesn't take a jump shot he looks great!

[mikejones99]

Go Spurs

[rashofan1]

rasho nesterovic = one game wonder

the scrub has gone back to his usual self
RASHO IS NOT A SCRUB!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

what's happening? The NBA scoreboard on NBA.com is so slow!!

[loveforthegame]

Why did Bowen go out so quickly?

[dimsah]

58-43 Twolves over 6er's. I'm hoping that game gets out of hand, and they switch to the Spurs game.

[Tek_XX]

Spurs just aren't focused today

[exstatic]

Denver is not a good matchup for Rasho. Too fast and athletic.

[dimsah]

They should just call the foul as soon as Carmelo gets over half-court if they want him to sit at the fuckin line all day.

I can't see the game, but the PBP is nothing but "Anthony draws the foul".
Enough already.

[Tek_XX]

What is wrong with finley. Leave it up to the Spurs to turn a great shooter into crap.

[loveforthegame]

What is wrong with finley. Leave it up to the Spurs to turn a great shooter into crap.

Yeah, he and Barry are both 3-9.

[itzsoweezee]

nazr mohammad = leading scorer & leading rebounder

too bad the guardplay has been a letdown this game

[ALVAREZ6]

Of all people, NAZR MOHAMMED is leading the spurs in scoring....

[boutons_]

Brent + Michael = 6 - 18 after 3Q

Our SGs can't shoot.

[boutons_]

Spurs = 2 - 16 3Gs.

[ata]

We need to score from perimeter. Perimeter players combined = 10-34 !!

[Spurologist]

Yeah, he and Barry are both 3-9.

add tp to that list

[loveforthegame]

Barry is sloppy with the ball. 4 turnovers.

[bonesinaz]

Duncan getting mugged twice- no call.

[Spurologist]

9:49 DEN - A. Miller steals the ball from T. Duncan
9:23 DEN - F. Elson steals the ball from T. Duncan

wtf is happening out there

[Tek_XX]

Spurs are careless with the ball.

[ALVAREZ6]

Brent + Michael = 6 - 18 after 3Q

Our SGs can't shoot.
pathetic.

[reader]

Too many turnovers 15 to Den 9 and Boykins is 3/3 on threes ... 15 points

Tim also has 4 turnovers.

[Spurologist]

oompa loompa always seems to have a good game against the spurs

[Tek_XX]

Finley should have retired....fucking pathetic

[ChumpDumper]

Shit. Might as well put Sanders in there if our guards aren't going to do shit.

[Duncan21]

is mohammed leading the spurs with points with 14?

[loveforthegame]

Only down 6 with 6 minutes to go but it doesn't look good. No one can hit a shot, too many turnovers, and not enough stops in the 4th.

[Tek_XX]

spurs are going to pay for taking this game lightly

[Tek_XX]

Tim is lost

[Duncan21]

damn, another tim duncan turnover :depressed

[ALVAREZ6]

WTF, Tim needs to find his fucking balls and start playing basketball. I'm gonna have to trade his ass off my fantasy team..........

[Spurologist]

Damn td has at least 3 turns this quarter

[loveforthegame]

NVE hit some nice shots but those last 2 were terrible and led to easy shots for Denver on the other end.

[Dre_7]

Whats wrong with Tim? WOW

[Duncan21]

down by 6 with 2 mins to go, not looking good

[Tek_XX]

Ya live by the Van Exel, you die by the Van Exel....and we died

[Dre_7]

Ya live by the Van Exel, you die by the Van Exel....and we died

If SA loses, it wont be because of NVE. It will be because of TOs. More specifically, TD's TOs.

[Duncan21]

bruce three, were still in it

[Rummpd]

Bowen with a big 3!

[TDfan2007]

This is one of the most pathetic games I have seen the spurs play effort wise. Tim has been worthless. MVP my ass.

[Spurologist]

It's nice to see Nazr playing well by leading the team in scoring, but I don't see us winning many games when that happens

[Rummpd]

Come on Spurs - 90 seconds to pull one out!

[Duncan21]

damn we lost

[Rummpd]

Duncan to go the line. Come on Tim. We need these - Yes, darn had the board on the miss, and gave it up for a Duncan instead.

Nazr has more balls than the rest of the team put together today but we need these.

[loveforthegame]

Those missed ft's are coming back to haunt us right now.

TD tapped that rebound right down there for Denver.

[ALVAREZ6]

It's nice to see Nazr playing well by leading the team in scoring, but I don't see us winning many games when that happens
That's because it never happens...

[Rummpd]

Yes, yes by Nazr. Need a stop or better a steal.

[ALVAREZ6]

fuck.

[Rummpd]

Darn.

[Tek_XX]

Spurs played pathetic, how very anti-climatic

[dimsah]

Fucking pathetic. How about we give them the rest of the year off if the summer wasn't long enough for them?

[Dre_7]

Well, thats what happens when Tim decides to stay in the locker room on game day.

[Brutalis]

We missed easy shots.

We didn't foul when we should have.... we threw this game. Good job Spurs.

[Duncan21]

at least nazr played well

[austinfan]

Damn. Some good stuff by the role players, but Tim just couldn't follow through at the end. Yikes. These next two weeks without Manu are gonna be rough.

[itzsoweezee]

pathetic game. the guards were horrible, duncan was horrible. the only bright spots were nazr and oberto. both of these guys deserve way more playing time.

finley and horry, sorry, you're good role players, but your roles have been too big thus far.

[themvp]

Tim took only 1 shot in 2nd half, didnt he?!

[mikejones99]

What is the score?

[Duncan21]

What is the score?

89-85 ft

[boutons_]

really shitty game from the Spurs.

Nick's shot selection just sucks.

So many mistakes by the Spurs.

Spurs looking like a .500 club in their own gym.

Denver wanted it worse, and they got it.

[ALVAREZ6]

http://clicksmilies.com/s0105/waffen/violent-smiley-008.gif

fuck you TD.

[Dre_7]

finley and horry, sorry, you're good role players, but your roles have been too big thus far.

Horry? How has his role been too big?

The reason SA lost was Tim Duncan. His TOs and his poor play are why SA lost. Plain and simple.

[Tek_XX]

It's nice to see that after all these years coaching the Spurs, pop still doesn't have an answer for a double team on tim.

[itzsoweezee]

Tim took only 1 shot in 2nd half, didnt he?!

that's partially b/c he kept turning it over and partially b/c the guards were gunning it tonight

[ALVAREZ6]

Nick's shot selection just sucks.
I've said it so many times.



Fuck NVE, he should be forced to have an orgy with Bill Walton and Hubie Brown.

[boutons_]

ignorant, no-hustle, lottery basketball from the Spurs.

[dimsah]

5-11 from the floor. I know TD doesn't want to force anything, but 11 shots is not helping the team. If the other team doesn't have to worry about him then it really doesn't help.

[Brutalis]

It's nice to see that after all these years coaching the Spurs, pop still doesn't have an answer for a double team on tim.
Um? He tried, and didn't get but one call... so you can shut that stupid shit up dude.

[dn0]

the denver killer is injured but I still didn't expect to lose at home against the niggets.

[itzsoweezee]

Horry? How has his role been too big?

The reason SA lost was Tim Duncan. His TOs and his poor play are why SA lost. Plain and simple.

horry should not be the first big off the bench. he's not as good of a rebounder or inside scorer as oberto (potentially) and nazr.

And the duncan isn't the only reason the spurs lost. the guards played horrible, both offensively and defensively.

[Dre_7]

It's nice to see that after all these years coaching the Spurs, pop still doesn't have an answer for a double team on tim.

That is not true. Loses hurt, but I dunno if you can go that far. One of the reasons SA won the title last year was cuz of Tims passing out of the double teams.

[Brutalis]

GJ to Nazr, he was the only one clicking on offense. Him and Oberto did a nice job.

[Tek_XX]

Um? He tried, and didn't get but one call... so you can shut that stupid shit up dude.

you need a time out bitch



fuck you pal....ya moron.

[Brutalis]

Well at least I won 1500 in vbookie.

[Brutalis]

you need a time out bitch



fuck you pal....ya moron.
I'm really sick of whiney ass bitches complaining about the dumbest shit after a loss. Go slit your wrist, HOMIE.

[SLOVENIAN 8]

Beno this year almost totaly without playing time... that is sux... last year an all star player and now he is not playing becouse of NVE and coach decision.
They should trade him if he is not going to play anymore....

[SouthernFried]

Horrible offense. Parker and Duncan both disappeared.

But, keep giving us those 3's. You won't see the Spurs missing so many three's very often.

[loveforthegame]

Duncan would have had more shot attempts had he not turned it over 6 times.

Barry and Finley were both 3-10 and Bowen was 1-6. NVE hit a couple shots and then had b2b ones that killed all the momentum we had. It was a 2 point game at that time and after those ill advised shots Denver went up 6.

I'm surprised we didn't foul them at the end but I guess Pop figured it was over with anyhow.

I can't stand the thought of the Mavs being able to have the same record as us after tonight. Go Portland.

[Tek_XX]

I'm really sick of whiney ass bitches complaining about the dumbest shit after a loss. Go slit your wrist, HOMIE.

Like anyone gives a shit what you think........HOMIE :smokin

[Gerryatrics]

Pop pissed the game away. Horrible 4th quarter overall, and no adjustment down the stretch. Not to mention the questionable lineup to finish the game. If nothing else hopefully the game knocks the rust off Brent Barry and motivates Nazr to actually show up to the games.

[Duncanfan]

This was a disappointing loss indeed. Just goes to show that this team has ways to go! Seriously, sometimes this leads me to think that all this praising of the Spurs team is gonna comeback and bite us in the butt. We couldn't win a freaking game at home against a Nuggets team that had Carmelo struggling and no Marcus Camby! Oh yeah go ahead and say that we didn't have Ginobili and embarass yourself! Dallas has won both games against Denver with a crippled lineup! The Suns manage to win without Amare!

If this team wants to hold on to the title and not disappoint..... the so called super subs (Finley Van Exel and Barry) need to prove that they are indeed capable of carrying the load.

P.s. Hubie Brown kept mentioning Fin and Van Exel's contributions tonight but when I look at the box score.. I see nothing to be happy about.

[Phonzie20]

I'm really sick of whiney ass bitches complaining about the dumbest shit after a loss. Go slit your wrist, HOMIE.

No Tek_XXs right. You are a fawking grade A tool.

[SouthernFried]

Man, is that bird real? Gotta be one of the most beautiful birds I've ever seen in flight.

[TDfan2007]

It's nice to see that after all these years coaching the Spurs, pop still doesn't have an answer for a double team on tim.

They do, it's called making open shots. The Spurs got plenty of those (Barry especially) and they couldn't capitalize. Tim gave the rest of the Spurs some good looks and they couldn't hit them. Tim needs to take more shots, but it would help if Tony or NVE would just pass him the ball off the screen and roll cuz Tim's open just about every time.

[Duncanfan]

I can't stand the thought of the Mavs being able to have the same record as us after tonight. Go Portland.

Well they deserve it don't you think!? They've done very well with a crippled lineup (like i mentioned earlier) and they've contenders all season. Now that, like the 2 beatings Detroit gave this team earlier SHOULD BE reason enough to wake up and realize that a repeat would mean more than just signing players who are supposed to contribute off the bench. They need to give us that contribution CONSISTENTLY.

With Manu out/lamed for 2 - 3 weeks, and Spurs 5Ls behind the Pistons with only 40 games left, kiss Finals HCA good.

Spurs now struggle just to win their division.

[1Parker1]

How is it that the smallest player in the NBA (Boykins) always seems to have his best games against one of the best defensive teams in the NBA?

[hendrix]

I don't know, who guarded him?

[1Parker1]

I didn't get to see the game, but why does the Boxscore say Tony attempted THREE 3 pointers? I think he got a little too confident after the Miami game...:lol

[ALVAREZ6]

Whoever guarded him, did not guard him.

[Budkin]

No Manu, no Horry, no chemistry. I wish we could just get to a point where the damn rotations could be set. Still a lot of basketball left to be played but we should have won this game today, especially at home. Oh well.

[boutons_]

The loss is right here:

Nick + Michael + Brent = 7 - 28, 25% FGs.

If they had shot 42%, Spurs win.

Spurs 4 - 23 3Gs. It seems like the worse the Spurs shoot 3Gs, they more they shoot them, even if it means blowing the game. When something is failing miserably, like 3Gs, or 4-fucking-down, try something else, dumbshits.

Pop was out-coached, and Spurs out-played. An impressively shitty loss.

[ajh18]

Oh yeah go ahead and say that we didn't have Ginobili and embarass yourself! Dallas has won both games against Denver with a crippled lineup! The Suns manage to win without Amare!

Actually, we were exactly on pace to keep up with last-year's record until today... and last year at this point we hadn't lost ginobili for so many games. The Suns, on the other hand, are five games behind their pace from last year after 39 games having lost amare. Based on this, it's actually pretty amazing how we have continued to win at the same rate without our second best player, while teams like the suns have fallen off significantly.

[Budkin]

it's actually pretty amazing how we have continued to win at the same rate

I agree, we had a totally healthy team last year all the way up until Tim's injury in March didn't we. It could be a lot worse for us. Hopefully we can get all the injury crap over with in the first half of the season and go on a tear in the second.

:wtf Suns have had their entire roster reloaded, including 3 of their starting 5 players from last season. Spurs have the same players they had last season, and have added two former All Stars and a Gold Medalist.


How can you say that the Suns have fallen off significantly? That has to be the craziest thing I've ever heard. The fact that they're only 5 games off despite their #1 option out the entire season so far and the fact that they have 3 new starters and a whole diff bench and they're still managing to lead their div...I'd hardly call that a significant fall off.

[Aggie Hoopsfan]

Spurs 4 - 23 3Gs.

It's the games where we shoot so many threes that we usually lose.

And as usual, an overreliance on Tim Duncan. Think he had 8 turnovers today.

[1Parker1]

Uh-Oh. Our next set of games is a back to back. At home against Bobcats and on road vs. Hornets. Maybe we should just pencil in the loss in the second game, right now. :lol

I'm not saying the suns have fallen off significantly as a team, or that they are under-performing. But in terms of win/loss ratio, their pace this year is significantly behind their pace from last year. This year they are winning 2/3 of their games, 66.6% (a record of 26-13). Last year they were winning 79.5% of their games at this point (with a 31-8 record). That IS a significant drop-off in win %, regardless of changes to their roster (and their pickups this year haven't turned out to be so bad...).

[ALVAREZ6]

Those are typically the games where NVE, Finley, and Barry play many minutes.....

I LOVE Manu!

[1Parker1]

Anyways, it seems everyone on the Spurs (minus maybe Nazr and Oberto!) sucked today. From Tony to Tim to NVE, Barry, and Finley.

[angel_luv]

Good offensive game by Nazr.

But what a frustrating fourth quarter! I really felt like the game was ours to take if we would have just fought for it.

[Dre>Parker]

The Nuggets OWNED the Purs... :lol


Watson and Dre OWNED Parker...Duncan is a puss.

[Slomo]

1.- Nazr played well on offense and rebounded well but still regularly misses his spot on D and sometimes forgets about his role on O.

2.- Duncan was getting hacked a lot and in front of the ref too - not getting the call.

3.- The 3rd fould on Rasho was BS

4.- Parker was being doubled, while Nazr was just standing around the 3 point lines - Tony yells at Nazr a lot.

5.- The Nuggs collapsed in the lane hard and the Spurs 3 wasn't falling.

6.- Oberto looked good in the 1st half.

7.- I hate Najera, and I'm also not too hot about Boykins.

8.- Concession stand on the Charter level serve steaks

That is all.

[spurschick]

Can anyone tell me the last time we won a day game? I thought that the camera showing Manu yawning in the 4th quarter was appropriate.

[angel_luv]

I didn't see Gino. If the fan cam showed him, I missed it. How did he look, M?

:lol Slomo- just saw your game summary.

[rashofan1]

pathetic game. the guards were horrible, duncan was horrible. the only bright spots were nazr and oberto. both of these guys deserve way more playing time.

finley and horry, sorry, you're good role players, but your roles have been too big thus far.
Sorry don't agree.Just because Nazr and Oberto have one good game does not mean they "deserve way more playing time.."

I agree, Manu does have a fragile ass body.

He should try to get bigger this summer, lift a lot of weights....but that might not even work because 90% of his injuries are leg injuries: knees,thigh,ankle,foot,etc.

I didn't see Gino. If the fan cam showed him, I missed it. How did he look, M?.

I wasn't at the game, they zoomed in on him on ABC. He looked fabulous, but I'm biased.

You're being too generous. He looked like S#!T, Angel.

Side Question: Does Barry go to the same barber as Manu? Because I saw that he and Manu almost have identical bad haircuts now :lmao

One good thing about the game: Pop seems to be back in fine Serbian form. The game against the Heat and then today's game, too, are the first time I've seen the old, reassuring Pop appear this season. Hopefully it means good things to come for the Spurs. :)

Actually, as freaked out as I've been by the Spurs losses, they're pretty much on the same W-L track that they were at this same point last season, right?, and that's with the Tim and Manu's foot injuries.

Ah thanks! Gino is so good looking.

[NZHayden]

ohh well

Hopefully the mavs tie the spurs record tonight against Portland though Dallas is streaky and could lose.

[loveforthegame]

Well they deserve it don't you think!? They've done very well with a crippled lineup (like i mentioned earlier) and they've contenders all season. Now that, like the 2 beatings Detroit gave this team earlier SHOULD BE reason enough to wake up and realize that a repeat would mean more than just signing players who are supposed to contribute off the bench. They need to give us that contribution CONSISTENTLY.

I didn't say they didn't deserve it only that I can't stand it. AJ has got them playing on both ends of the floor. He rides them constantly and the players are responding. They're taking care of teams they're supposed to and have won convincingly against some teams they shouldn't.

I won't be surprised to see them win the division this year. We can only hope that the Spurs figure things out and bring it in the playoffs.

[mavsfan1000]

Mavs winning by their defense so far tonight. Up 22-15 after the first quarter.

[mavsfan1000]

Yeah that makes sense. Everyone thought I was crazy that I predicted the mavs would win 60 games this season also. It could go either way but I am confident the mavs take them.
