2-point lead for San An.

[cheguevara]

Fugget LOCKDOWN in progress

[Nocioni]

Bring back melo!

[Pistons < Spurs]

[Spurologist]

Evans just won an oscar. OMFG

[cheguevara]

evans = Flopper

[ShoogarBear]

Rasho WTF?????

[Pistons < Spurs]

OMG..........sloppy ass shit.

[cheguevara]

1 pt game. this game is unbeleivable!!!

[MaNuMaNiAc]

Somebody slap Rasho for me!!

[Spurologist]

Rasho WTF?????

He's shouldn't have been put in that situation

[boutons_]

damn, the Nuggets suck. Spurs just have to take this game.

[cheguevara]

He's shouldn't have been put in that situation

exactly

[Tek_XX]

More evidence that the NBA refs are the worst in the business. Hope that tech is recinded.

[cheguevara]

I just realized, the Nuggets only have Carmella. that's it!!!

[T-Pain]

this game is gettin physical

[cheguevara]

we have more than a chance to beat this team

[cheguevara]

this game is gettin physical

It's Manu time

[Trifecta]

We will need to keep the lockdown on Melo and Ruben.

Rebounding will continue to be key from this point on!

[T-Pain]

It's Manu time


hell yeah

[T-Pain]

We will need to keep the lockdown on Melo and Ruben.

Rebounding will continue to be key from this point on!


yeah and elbow Kmart to the face

[cheguevara]

if either Manu or Tony or Duncan take over the 4th quarter we win. We have 3 chances

[cheguevara]

Fuggets only got 1, carmella

[FromWayDowntown]

Still getting killed on the glass; but in the game.

[smeagol]

We are winning this game.

. . . and TK and HB22 are a pair of tools! manny's been right on this one all along.

[myhc]

folks we might as well go to bed cause the spurs ain't winning this game.

:lol :lol :lol :lol

the board idiot strikes again!

[ShoogarBear]

He's shouldn't have been put in that situation
Screw that. There's less than a second left, just chuck something up. The ONLY thing you can't do is give them the ball back with time on the clock, and that's exactly what he did.

[Tek_XX]

Pop says get Beno outta there

[Tek_XX]

Timmy looking better

[aaronstampler]

Unfortunately, Beno has been awful today. This is not going to help any against his detractors who say he can't hang in there against physical teams.

[RashoFan]

the fucked up thing is crowd cheers when Nuggets make a dirty foul. THey want blood those bloodsuckers.
Denver nugget fans.....

[cheguevara]

Beno has been shit today. Finley and HOrry have been horrible. our stars have been carrying us

[Spurologist]

Denver's offense is all one on one right now. They have a lead b/c they've made 5 straight contested jumpers. A couple of stops could get us the lead back.

[smeagol]

Reggie Evans is not very intelligent

[aaronstampler]

As long as we're the aggressor in the paint and can hold the Nugs to jumpshots on offense, we'll be okay. Tim's been amazing the last 8 mins or so. Their defense seems obsessed on stopping Manu. They have an "anybody but him" attitude right now. But the damage might have been done since he got the champs back in the game and he's smart enough to pass to the open guy and not force it.

[cheguevara]

Lockdown Time

[doldrums]

rebounds den 46

that's why it's so tough today

[RashoFan]

wtf??? I expected someone would have commented about the nekkid chick from the pic I posted

[ggoose25]

she is hot

[RashoFan]

last time I post a pic during the game blog for you brokeback fools.........
JK!!!:lol

[aaronstampler]

Evans is one flopping piece of crap. I like how he got knocked to the floor by a guy who weighs like 50 lbs less than him.

[Trifecta]

I would not mind seeing Barry guard Melo -- Finley will be too slow!

Melo will have a field day on Finley in the post!

[RashoFan]

she is hot
thank u GGoose

[RashoFan]

Melo with 2 FT 84- 80 Nugs....Duncan with a DUNK 84-82 nugs

Melo wins me some Vbucks!


Now if we can only keep the total points below 192......

[ShoogarBear]

put on your bi focals and go look for it....:lol
Oh, that one. Yawn. I thought maybe it was the unrated version of the Ocho.

FIN gets fouled on a 3 and makes all FTs

[SequSpur]

Carmelo is kicking Bowen's ass

[RashoFan]

Oh, that one. Yawn. I thought maybe it was the unrated version of the Ocho.
:rolleyes

[Supergirl]

Is this some George Karl crap? Seems like every time the Spurs get the ball, a foul is called. And then every time the Nuggets get the ball, a foul is called AGAINST them. This is one lameass game.

Oh, and Camby has almost as many rebounds as the entire Spurs team. If they win this is will be a miracle.

[aaronstampler]

big rebound by Barry. Duncan's FTs atrocious, as usual.

[Leetonidas]

I wish we could send someone on the floor to just punch the fuck out of Elson or Patterson. I'm getting annoyed with all the fucking melee.

[ShoogarBear]

This is the second straight game I've heard Brent use that "Spurs are improving at the line bullshit". He has absolutely no idea of what he's talking about.

And did he just say "Nuggles"? :lol

[Tek_XX]

Carmelo is kicking Bowen's ass

Are you watching the game? Fin is on Carmy.

i'll take that. Put it in an envelope and mail it to someone who gives a fuck.

Now that's how you foul. :lol

[angel_luv]

Another one of our guys hit... geesh.

Hey where is Boykins?

[SequSpur]

Carmelo is using Bowen and Finley.

Are you watchin the game?

[Jimcs50]

Spurs are going to be sore tomorrow.

[cheguevara]

Carmelo is using Bowen and Finley.

Are you watchin the game?

no Bowen is on the Bench, he was playing Carmella good. Finley is getting lit up by Carmella

[emveepee]

time to put manu back in

[Trifecta]

Its Manu time -- we need someone to create off of the dribble!

[Sense]

Carmelo is using Bowen and Finley.

Are you watchin the game?

You're saying it when Bowen's on the bench, implying that it's happening right now... when it isn't Finley is on Carmelo right now.

[aaronstampler]

I may have been too hard on Beno. He did have five assists, no turnovers in 12 mins. Just bad shooting night, and bad defense.

[SequSpur]

no Bowen is on the Bench, he was playing Carmella good. Finley is getting lit up by Carmella

Bowen was getting lit up and couldn't make a bucket.

Insert Finley

[mavsfan1000]

Nuggets without Boykins? Another injury to an opposing team.

[Supergirl]

Kenyon Martin, The Sex Offender (Patterson), and Evans on the same team now...wow...they should change the team name to the Denver Thugs.

[Pistons < Spurs]

Hey where is Boykins?


He fractured 2 bones in his hand....out 4-5 weeks.

[cheguevara]

Bowen was getting lit up and couldn't make a bucket.

Insert Finley

no dumbaass BOwen is on the bench because of 4 fouls god damn

[Darrin]

.....damn.....Kwame Brown has 21 and 12 tonight VS. the Kings.

So? They have no defense on the frontline.

Recent big games vs. Kings in last 5 games:
Kwame Brown, LA Lakers - 21 points, 12 rebounds, and 3 assists.
Chris Wilcox, Seattle - 16 points, 19 rebounds, and 2 steals.
Kevin Garnett, Minnesota - 37 points, 10 rebounds, 4 steals, and 2 blocks.
Danny Granger, Indiana - 23 points, 7 rebounds, 2 steals, and 2 blocks.
Lamar Odom, LA Lakers - 24 points, 6 rebounds, 7 assists, and 1 steal.

[Sense]

That's 2 mistakes by Tony right there.

[Leetonidas]

Stupid, stupid, STUPID fucking pass by Tony. Did he not see Manu wide open behind him?

[RashoFan]

Does anyone know how to say George Karl is spanish????
It is "pinche lloron(sp?)" pronounced yourrun

Bowen was getting lit up and couldn't make a bucket.

Just stop talking dude, you obviously haven't been watching the game. Bowen is on the bench because of fouls.

Jorge Karl?


anyways that's not how you pronounce lloron....


NOT AT ALL! :lol

[SequSpur]

no dumbaass BOwen is on the bench because of 4 fouls god damn

Carmelo scored 2 straight times on Bowen because Carmelo is bigger and can handle Bowen easily. Then Bowen jacks up some shot from the middle that hit nothing, insert Finley.

Carmelo is winning this game by himself.

How about doubling his ass? No one else is going to make a shot. Poor game plan.

[loveforthegame]

Parker picked the wrong time to make mistakes.

Melo abused Bowen early and now it's Finley's turn.

[aaronstampler]

Oh god, Musberger is on Carmelo's nuts all game... "He's becoming the complete player, the scorer and the feeder" cos the guy made one pass on a easy 2 on 1 break. Just because 'Toine or Francis make 2 on 1 breaks look like nuclear physics, it doesn't mean they're that complicated.

It sucks we have nobody on the team that can remotely guard Melo outside of Bowen though. Finley can't quite seem to shake the sound defensive principles he learned from all those years with the Mavs.

[Sense]

Carmelo is just feeling it... you can't do much about it.

[HB22inSA]

Uh oh, looks like the needle is just about at E.

[cheguevara]

yes I agree CArmello is bigger, but Bowen does the best job on him. I also agree he is winning this game by himself. It's all good. back to back. our guys are tired right now

Stupid, stupid, STUPID fucking pass by Tony. Did he not see Manu wide open behind him?


That's been Tony's MO all year. On the rare occasion Manu has it going, TP seems hellbent on not getting him in the ball late. How many mins has it been since Manu even touched the ball?

[FromWayDowntown]

Carmelo has been kickin ass all year, where have you been?

No doubt. There aren't too many guys in the NBA who could hope to shut down Carmelo Anthony right now.

[RashoFan]

Jorge Karl?

Where was the Spurs D on that fuckin fast break.

A solid moral victory

I'm sorry the sarcasm doesn't seem to work online... :blah

[Ginobili_20_gold_medalist]

Is Ginobili going to get a fucking shot this quarter or what? It's amazing how his teammates ignore him even when he's wide open.

[loveforthegame]

Where was the help? Finley knocked the ball out of Patterson's hand and Martin was able to come down and get the dunk. Where were the other Spurs?

[HB22inSA]

Spurs getting run out of the gym...just like I knew they would.

Manny?? TexasBalla??

[DDS4]

Fvck it....empty the bench. I just want the team healthy. Obviously, Denver wants to bully us out of the court.

[Sense]

The Spurs are lowering their fucking heads already...


You can say it's already over.

MANU has not even touched the ball!!!

What is POPS saving Bowen for?

Game over!

[Spurologist]

FIN - an open made shot would nice.

[Leetonidas]

Tony is fucking stinking it up right now.

The Spurs could have had this win if they had pulled their heads out of their asses earlier.

There are no fouls for the Spurs are there?

[Spurologist]

Give the ball to manu and everybody get the fuck out of the way

[Leetonidas]

Manu trying to do it himself.

If Manu had been more involved throughout the 4th, we could probably be leading right now or be down by a lot less.

[Tek_XX]

Denver fans are retarded. Are there this many rabid fans out of their seats in the AT&T

[aaronstampler]

Wow, what a weird coincedence, Manu touched the ball twice and he's scored 5 straight points. It's almost like he's a good player or something. But you keep dribbling that ball all game Tony. C'mon Mr. MVP, Mr. Hollywood girlfriend. You the man!

[RashoFan]

Sean Elliott calling out the fans behind them....saying the have had too many crown and 7up...the fans are booing saying manu was walking/traveling....

[Leetonidas]

The Spurs are getting the shit end of the stick from the refs right now.

[aaronstampler]

Manu trying to do it himself.

If Manu had been more involved throughout the 4th, we could probably be leading right now or be down by a lot less.

We would have won if Pop didn't have his head up his ass.

The offense should have been run through Manu in the fourth in the last six minutes. It didn't, and it looked like shit.

Defensively, I think we all knew Finley couldn't guard Carmelo, so I don't know why Pop thought he could.

[RashoFan]

you spelled it right....

oh good Gracias!!! Spasseba(Russian for Thank you)

[DDS4]

Denver deserved to win. They were more aggressive.

[Amuseddaysleeper]

absolutely pathetic

a complete meltdown in the 4th quarter and no heart whatsoever. denver's defense really isnt that great, these offensive lulls is what could easily prevent us from winning it all. the end of the 3rd quarter is where we fucked up letting denver take the lead. we have official lost hca throughout the playoffs with detroit's win tonight barring any major injury to their starting 5

i'm still waiting for that playoff form to take shape but it just isn't happening

The fans didn't deserve the win though...

[loveforthegame]

Is Finley a good shooter or not, it's sad that you can't tell.

This shit used to happen to Fin in Dallas all the time. He'd shoot good in the first half and then only get 2 shots in the 2nd half. Pathetic that he was 4-8 in the first half and only get 2 shots in the 2nd half. Both in the 4th quarter, I believe, and 1 was when the game was already over.

[fred33]

they lose at the rebond that all for me it was one of the best back to back game and the nuggets had 3 days of rest

Come on dude, they are tired.

They just had a few days off, they played last night, most of them played about a half an hour, then they had to drive to the airport and get on a luxurious private airplane, they got to their 5 star hotel rooms at 2, slept til noon, had some food, chilled out the rest of the day and showed up for a shootaround, ate again, and had to go out and play the World Champion First Round and out nuggets......

What did you expect? They are fuckin tired dude. Those are extreme circumstances.

Damn.

[BillupsMVP]

Hca

[Aggie Hoopsfan]

Denver deserved to win. They were more aggressive.

Um, we had the lead. We blew it by letting Tony go one on five the last the 6 minutes of the game and sitting Bowen on the bench while Melo raped Finley.

[Winnipeg_Spur]

No, but I can smell plenty of fear...

Atleast we still lead the West...

The Spurs showed a lot of heart, Tim especially, they just couldn't pull it out. They didn't get the calls, Denver did, and Melo just went off. They came from 18 down, so it wasn't too bad. That, and Denver has had a few days off while this is a B2B for us.

I find it hard to believe that the spurs offense bothers him this much. He has one good game and then can't hit the ocean for like 5 games straight.

Ther's no back to backs in the Finals. And usually happen in the PO's when 1 series is lond and the opponent's is short. The way the West matches up, I doubt that happens.

[Spurologist]

You get an unguardable jump shooter + aggressive players + td watching opposing players get offensive rebounds with his ailing leg + horrible plan on continually going one on one against melo + horrible turnovers via traveling or idiocy +ineffective shooters namely FIN, BENO + the fact that the spurs are playing a b2b you are probably looking at a LOSS.

[Amuseddaysleeper]

LOL You're always so full of Doom and Gloom. Have a little faith in your guys!

Not everyone's an idiot here...

If we don't have HCA in the finals and we face the Pistons and lose because of it, we're not a championship team.

Pops was sleep on the job tonight -- I think Barry is quicker than Finley and he would have been just as effective shooting as Finley was tonight!

[Aggie Hoopsfan]

They didn't get the calls, Denver did, and Melo just went off.

Fucking A, we didn't get screwed by the refs. Joey Crawford T'ed up half the fucking Nuggets team for crying out loud.

Melo went off because Pop had his head up his ass and apparently thought Bowen had six fouls, not four, because he set him on the bench the last six minutes of the game while we went from up 2 to down 10 while Anthony bitch slapped Finley.

And then on offense you had Manu who was white hot standing on the far end of the court while Tony tried to play Superman.

And we lost.

I really don't think the Spurs and Pistons are going to 7 games, and I really don't think it will be a rematch of last year's finals..


Someone's upsetting someone, you can't just jump the playoffs and make statements on the finals.


And if you have to win on the road in the finals in order to win...


The Pistons didn't do it last year and that's why they didn't deserve the championship..

If we don't do it this year we don't deserve it.

hasnt melo been doing much much better against Bowen this year anyway? I mean it seems both and wade have bowen's number, no?

Dude, listen to the Pop show. He clearly said that he is not going to overwork players right now, because going into the playoffs healthy is more important. They aren't going to play the fukkin Nuggets anyway.

He also said that on back to backs and long road trips that its not always a good idea to make a save the day decision.

Take the fuckin loss and move on to a game which is more than winnable.

Man...... Fuck Pop. :lol

so what is your honest prediction in the finals?

[Slinkyman]

we just got out played, camby + Evans = 31 rebounds; spurs = 27. ouch.

[aaronstampler]

TP, Nazr, and the bench were pretty crappy today, but you can't be too upset since they've been the biggest reasons the team has been playing so well lately. Still, it's sad that we lost considering that Tim and Manu played a lot better than we would've expected them to play on the second night of a b2b.

Geez, it seems like catching the Pistons for best record is a lot like being Sisyphus, 'cept we're not the evil ones, they are.

Overall, I feel good about things. Some guys could've played better, Pop could've coached better, but you can't win 'em all.

As long as when the playoffs start we're back to our regular with Tim as the 1st option, Manu the 2nd, and TP the third, with Manu the quarterback in the 4th quarter, we'll be okay.

One thing tonight proved for sure is that all the Miami apologists can simmer down. If they're a contender, I'm a toaster oven. That's a one-team conference over there.

[FromWayDowntown]

May 10, 2003 - Pistons 83, Sixers 93 - Pistons lead series 2-1.
May 11, 2003 - Pistons 82, Sixers 95 - Series tied 2-2.
2002-03 Pistons Schedule (http://www.nba.com/pistons/schedule/results_2002.html)


That's why my post said "most playoff series," and not "in the playoffs." The Pistons and Sixers weren't the only ones that year -- the Mavericks and Kings played back-to-back on the same days. Of course, that was the spring that both the Pistons and Mavericks were stretched to 7 games in first round series in which they had held commanding leads. The reason for the back-to-backs was the need to have those conference semis catch up to the other series.

I was, however, being sarcastic with my post. The point gets repeated everywhere in San Antonio these days -- thought I'd be the first to do it tonight.

[mavsfan1000]

I would have to say the season is over for San Antonio. They had a nice run but losing to the nuggets sealed the deal.

[Sense]

We lost cuz of this --> 21-34

almost 62% from the free throw line...

[T.F. Storm]

I know the Spurs had to be tired, but man, Denver has a pretty nice ball club now. Lots of hustle and tough inside players fighting for boards. Not a contender, but it's no wonder they gave the Pistons a really hard time last time we met. You fall asleep on them and they'll absolutely rape you on the glass.

OKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKk :rolleyes

[Tek_XX]

I really don't think the Spurs and Pistons are going to 7 games, and I really don't think it will be a rematch of last year's finals..


Someone's upsetting someone, you can't just jump the playoffs and make statements on the finals.


And if you have to win on the road in the finals in order to win...


The Pistons didn't do it last year and that's why they didn't deserve the championship..

If we don't do it this year we don't deserve it.

that's nice but it's really about hitting your peak in the playoffs. I think the pistons were a couple of breaks away from repeating and weren't the rockets in 95 a sixth seed, so it's really about winning the games that count

[ShoogarBear]

This game was lost last night by not pulling out the early win vs. GS
Yes and no.

The announcers had one thing right. The Spurs have bought into the B2B bullshit. The media talks about it, the coaches talk about it, and the players talk about it. So now they START the second game of the B2B with the built-in excuse in their heads.

Yeah, so they're tired. That's not an excuse for that first half performance tonight. That was all mental.

[Sense]

so what is your honest prediction in the finals?


Truthfully, I don't know.... and it's kinda scary.

I know for sure one of the two teams that competed in last years 7 game series finals will not be there this season...


Or atleast that's my honest opinion.

[Amuseddaysleeper]

Oh ye of little faith, have some faith in your guys.
i'm not saying becuase of tonight's loss fuck the year and we arent beating detroit. we HAD this game and let it slip like so many this year. its one thing to simply get your ass kicked and its another to give the game away and be completely clueless on offense this late in the season. oh well, at least we still got some solid wins vs dallas & phoenix, 2 teams we actually WILL be facing in the playoffs unlike the nuggets

[MannyIsGod]

Carmelo owned the Spurs in the fourth. Thats the bottom line.

[FromWayDowntown]

I guess the Mavericks season ended, then, when they lost the back-end of a back-to-back at Denver, too, right?

[SequSpur]

Exactly.

Free throw shooting was weak.

Pop more concerned about substitutions than winning a game.

oh well...

When (IF) they meet in the finals, it will be clash of the titans. Regular season records,head to head records, point differential ...etc etc don't mean shit. It will go 6 or 7 no matter what.

[FromWayDowntown]

They were without Harris. :spin

Of course. I suspect, with all of the credit that Mavs fans give to Devin Harris, that the reason we don't yet have a cure for cancer is that Devin Harris has been out with an injury.

Have they made up Devin Harris' hall-of-fame plaque yet?

[E20]

Thank you Captain Obvious.

The bottom line could have not been if Bowen were playing.

We didn't give it away, we gave it away. There was no hustle in the fourth, it was good to see Tim make some jumpers though.

[SequSpur]

Don't respond to these fuckin trolls. This is a Spurs blog and we have to see our team's players lying on the ground with crybaby shit?

Man fuck that. Delete these asswipes.

Bullshit.

[aaronstampler]

It's kind of simple, when we rebound and when our best players feel well, we're the best team in basketball. When we don't rebound and Tim is hobbling around, we're somewhere around the 3rd or 4th best team...

[loveforthegame]

It's sad when you hope for the Mavs to lose instead of counting on the Spurs to win.

I never thought I'd say this but I hope the Pistons wipe the floor with the Mavs next week. ;) Other than our matchup and possibly the Suns game, the Pistons have the best shot and beating the Mavs to end the season.

[E20]

Is that Nazr on the ground? They showed a close up of him during a timeout and his eye seemed red. malkGAY you can go fuck yourself you little bitch and why is Rip Hamilton still wearing a face mask?

Are you serious?

I don't give a shit about the Mavs. The Spurs own the Mavs, they own the Suns, they own the Kings, they definitely own the sorry ass Warriors, they own the Lakers, they own the Grizzlies, they have trouble with the Nuggets, but its probably a back to back thing.

I am quite sure the Spurs and their fans could give a fuck about the Mavs.

Come on dude, they are tired.

They just had a few days off, they played last night, most of them played about a half an hour, then they had to drive to the airport and get on a luxurious private airplane, they got to their 5 star hotel rooms at 2, slept til noon, had some food, chilled out the rest of the day and showed up for a shootaround, ate again, and had to go out and play the World Champion First Round and out nuggets......

What did you expect? They are fuckin tired dude. Those are extreme circumstances.

Damn.

You might have added that the altitude in Denver makes that team a lock to win most home games, much less a back to back.

Mavs fans are delusional. We have a rivalry with them like a hammer has a rivalrly with a nail. We could play an entire playoff series with EVERY game in their court and still win in six. Mavs fans think Spurs fans care about HCA because we're scared of the Mavs. Puh-lease. We want the overall HCA because we respect the Pistons. If our only concern was only the Western conference, we'd be perfectly comfortable resting guys and taking the 4th seed and Tim and Manu wouldn't have even played today.

[Kori Ellis]

Melo owns Bowen. Bowen got mellowed. :lol

He normally has a really rough time against Bowen. For his career he shoots around 35 percent against him.

Carmelo had a good night tonight.

[valluco]

No excuses. Spurs had their asses handed to them in the fourth of a B2B game in Denver and guess what? The season isn't over. I agree that Pop didn't coach his best game, and we lost. Game over, it's time to move on and worry about the next opponent.


They were without Harris. :spin
hellooooooo stupid.

[Cougar262626]

Ah! they were so close! i mean if miami played better in the fourth then they would still be close to us. now, we have 2 more losses than them and 1 less win! i wish we had more fuel in the fourth!

[SequSpur]

There's no use for me to delete the trolls post with the picture because you all were smart enough to quote it twice. :rolleyes

I don't usually post but every other game, but these 1st rounders should be kept to a minimum. Like the NBA Forum or something.

[aaronstampler]

Didn't seem to help 'em much in Games 3 and 4 last year when they were all too concerned in trying to knock Manu out to play basketball.

Rivalry?

The rivalry is with LA. Dallas is a doormat in our way to another championship.

:blah
needs to happen in the playoffs for it to be the truth. if the mavs beet the spurs in a 7 game series this year, then they will be for real. don't forget that the Spurs are the DEFENDING CHAMPS. that's what i would call the truth.

how old is mf1000? just curious. is he a dumb kid or is he retarded?

How can you bee so stupid to be running your mouth about the Mavs when they got owned by the Spurs a couple of weeks ago, plus the fact up to now they have proven nothing?

Then you wonder why people insult you :rolleyes

[Amuseddaysleeper]

whatever. we arent gonna see the nuggs in the playoffs unless they beat the suns which seems doubtful. i just wanted hca vs detroit but that doesnt seem likely anymore. lets just go on a tear and play with some consistency

Denver is now one of the top 5 teams with the addition of Evans and patterson and might just make the west finals.

[Amuseddaysleeper]

they arent getting past the suns with or without amare

[mavsfan1000]

they arent getting past the suns with or without amare
I disagree about that. I think Denver is very capable of beating the suns. The main thing is the suns don't play defense and the nuggets can match their athleticism. Camby is a very active center which minimizes the mismatches the suns like to take advantage of at center.

[ploto]

We lost cuz of this --> 21-34

almost 62% from the free throw line...
Seemed more like this stat- 58 to 27 rebounds. Nazr and Horry played 50 minutes total and had a combined 5 rebounds to Camby's 21- which almost equaled the entire Spurs team total. I know Pop doesn't use Rasho against Denver because of their running style and Rasho's lack of shall we say foot speed, but Rasho is the one who has the best chance at handling Camby.

[SLOVENIAN 8]

Nazr seems that he cant do much against team that have some good center. In box score looks like Camby eat him alive....

[NugzFan]

good game guys.

good luck the rest of the year and getting homecourt vs dallas.
