[NuGGeTs-FaN]

:smokin

Let the smack talk begin :lol :toast

Spurs by 20 :drunk

[FromWayDowntown]

Nuggets by at least 127.

[angel_luv]

I expect a big home coming win from the Spurs! :)

[NuGGeTs-FaN]

This game is on Cable TV for the Aussies as well :clap

[sandman]

Nuggets by at least 127.

Is that the vBookie tattoo spread?

[Trainwreck2100]

tie game

[bdictjames]

Is AI playing? It wont matter if he does or not, Spurs by 10

[ponky]

lol, this is the second game in a row started by a non-spurs fan...don't jinx the nuggets, NuGGeTs-FaN!!! i have a feeling the spurs will win but i won't be rooting for them!

[NuGGeTs-FaN]

First time the Nuggets will see the proper starting lineup of Blake/AI/Melo/Nene/Camby :clap

I hope they can all stay healthy and build some chemistry going into the playoffs

[T-Pain]

we do pretty good on TNT.

Spurs by 12.

[T-Pain]

Duncan 24 pts. 12 Rebs.

[jaespur21]

due to work. i havent seen a spurs win since we beat portland back in january. and im off tonight, i got this crazy voodoo jinx on the spurs when im watching this year. I pray we win.

[duncanchick21]

:ihit :downspin: I want to wish the team good luck!!! I know you guys can do it!!! I still believe!! GO SPURS GO!! If you play Red Rocket, kick some ass!!! GO SPURS GO!!!

[bigdog]

i think this is the game where we debut james white. we are loaded with big men, and we need to find out which guys can work against a denver-style team. i think ely should be suited up just because its against denver, and i think oberto would get killed by the nuggets big men. take out beno,cuz the nuggets don't have too much depth at the PG position,so parker and vaughn should do fine. spurs win,but i expect a close game

[Kori Ellis]

Does anyone know if Iverson is playing for sure? We are trying to figure out if we should bet on the game.

--Kori

[NuGGeTs-FaN]

Duncan 24 pts. 12 Rebs.


the TD vs Nene matchup is one which i am looking forward to the most. Nene has been playing great as he gets healthier and in shape.

I just hope Nene can try and slow Duncan down and not be afraid to go at him down low on offense

[sammy]

Spurs by 10

98 - 88

[T-Pain]

Does anyone know if Iverson is playing for sure? We are trying to figure out if we should bet on the game.

--Kori
yeah im pretty sure he is

[Amarelooms]

Good luck SPurs...hope ya'll win

[RC's Boss]

SA Spus beyatch!

[KB24]

...

[Trainwreck2100]

take those down please as they violate policy

[NuGGeTs-FaN]

Ai is good to go at this point :smokin

He may need a bathroom break at half time though if his stomach bug is still around :lol

[NuGGeTs-FaN]

Well im off to watch the game shortly :smokin

Good luck and enjoy the game :clap

Only one person on the Spurs scares me, and that's Frankie 'the franchise' Elson :lol

He could single handedly wipe out the Nuggets frontcourt if he so chooses to do :smokin

Ciao

[Borosai]

I predict Ely, White and Bonner will play tonight...at the same time. Book it!

[T Park]

James White?

I don't think so.

Nay as well on the on Melvin ELy.

Bonner though, more than likely will play.

[GrandeDavid]

The tune up starts. The playoffs are still afar, but the Spurs will start making statements. Asskicking about to happen tonight and its gonna be handed to the Nuggs.

[abelle23]

spurs by 6 :ihit

[1Parker1]

Nuggets are fighting for a playoff spot, I think this is going to be a close game.

[Spurs Brazil]

Joe Alexander: Spurs vs. Nuggets
PREGAME

San Antonio fans get a chance to see the newest Spur and NBA star Allen Iverson in his newest uniform tonight when the Spurs finally play on their home court. The Spurs play their first game since the eight-game rodeo road trip when they take on the Denver Nuggets at 7 p.m. Bonner had been out with a knee injury.

As fans started filing into the AT&T Center, new Spur Melvin Ely was running laps along one of the sidelines. Ely was not active for the game. Instead, Matt Bonner returned to the active lineup.

Iverson, assuming his sore right ankle is healthy enough, should make his 20th start as a member of the Nuggets.

[ManuTim_best of Fwiendz]

:lol charles @ Ginobili

[Amuseddaysleeper]

we're down early, this is good

its when we're up early that I get worried

They look lifeless.

[Spurs Brazil]

Bad start.

Pop calls TO

[P-O-Z]

[Spurs Brazil]

Spurs 0-5fg

Nuggets 4-6FG

[Spurologist]

[Tek_XX]

Wow could you imagine the crowd if the Spurs weren't good, there would be no one in the building.

[Spurologist]

When was the last time Barry made a shot?

[itzsoweezee]

everyone's playing alright. no small ball. things are looking good so far

[Amuseddaysleeper]

When was the last time Barry made a shot?

back when michael jackson played with kids his own age

[Manu20]

I think finley should start instead of Barry.

[Texas_Ranger]

back when michael jackson played with kids his own age

:lol

[Tek_XX]

SA needs some skyscrapers.

[ALVAREZ6]

I want Nene on the Spurs. He's one big dude.

[Spurologist]

@ commercial of the baby knowing all the presidents

[Gros Membres!]

I think finley should start instead of Barry.
I hope you just watched the last two possessions and changed your mind.

[Spurologist]

you gotta admit, the refs are raping the nuggets. or thats what it looks like.

if you have an issue, here's a tissue.

[maldita21]

:flag:

manu's hot! 4-5 shooting so far! hope he keeps this up!

[Tek_XX]

woah bring jacque vaughn back

[exstatic]

From the "stats can be misleading" dept: Yeah, Reggie Evans can board, but if he isn't handing it off or kicking out, he's hurting you. Never seen so many damn missed bunnies by one player in a quarter.

[Spurologist]

It might be time to throw out possible TRADE BARRY scenarios.

[jackiel1219]

TP's on fire!!!

[VaSpursFan]

damn...Spurs are looking awesome!!!

[Admidave50]

TP playing at an All Star level!

[Spurologist]

Tp Has Taken The Game Over

[dirk4mvp]

Barry can still dunk?!

[VaSpursFan]

barry got an oop...what that hell...go spurs go

[Admidave50]

Alley-oop dunking for Barry!! Spurs are cruising

[Spurs Brazil]

BRENT from TONY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[ManuTim_best of Fwiendz]

that caught me off guard. Our guards are doing great !

[Spurologist]

I guess Reggie didn't watch the All Star Game. TP throw a nice Alley hoop to Amare down the lane.

[Manu20]

I think finley should start instead of Barry.

Barry is making me eat my words :lol

[Borosai]

I just sharted...I can't believe Barry dunked.

[Spurologist]

back when michael jackson played with kids his own age

:lol

MJ would be proud of the Alley Hoop

[ManuTim_best of Fwiendz]

Barry can still dunk?!
:lol I was surprised he finished the alley oop .

[jmard5]

I guess Reggie didn't watch the All Star Game. TP throw a nice Alley hoop to Amare down the lane.

Right after 3 failed alley-hoop attempts.

[SuperManu!!!]

:flag:

manu's hot! 4-5 shooting so far! hope he keeps this up!

He always plays good against denver

[Spurs Brazil]

3rd on Nene

[itzsoweezee]

I guess Reggie didn't watch the All Star Game. TP throw a nice Alley hoop to Amare down the lane.

tony would avg. 8 assist a game on the right team.

[exstatic]

Parker from the shoelaces!!!

[Spurologist]

Holy Shit. What layups by TP

[VaSpursFan]

TP is fucking sick tonight...wow

[samikeyp]

TP again....nice. :)

[Spurs Brazil]

TP playing great

[jmard5]

And Tony just blazed past Blake and Iverson. Whew.

[carina_gino20]

tony still on an All-Star high :spin

[johnpaulwall21]

Whatever happened to kenyon Martin?

[ChumpDumper]

Iverson's injury flares up when he's losing.

[Tek_XX]

Reggie is a spurhater.

[Spurs Brazil]

Halftime

Spurs - 49
Nuggets - 38

[Tek_XX]

Iverson's injury flares up when he's losing.

more specifically when he misses a shot.

[samikeyp]

"Ellison and Umberto"??

Barkley cracks me up! :lol

[exstatic]

Whatever happened to kenyon Martin?
Microfracture surgery happened. Not sure why he's out now, but that was the beginning of the end.

[Spurologist]

:lol

Barkley: If I had a body like Dwight Howard, I would just go around the country beating up people.

[samikeyp]

Barkley to Tyson Chandler after the clip of his dunk:

"Get back...get your ass back down the court!"

:lmao priceless

[Tek_XX]

Will the spurs give up the lead?

probably

[Spurologist]

:lmao

I just realized Elson is playing against his former team

[Spurologist]

Holy Shit. Bowen Just Capped Melo

[Spurs Brazil]

Bruce Block

[Spurs Brazil]

Nice job TP

[T-Pain]

Mark my words NuggetsFan:

Bowen is kicking Carmelos ass

[Spurologist]

Mark my words NuggetsFan:

Bowen is kicking Carmelos ass

:lol

:tu

That block alone might have just put him at the top of the DPOY race.

[Tek_XX]

The Spurs putting away a team??

[carina_gino20]

The Spurs putting away a team??

still just the 3rd quarter...

[BIG IRISH]

HS

I'm at work but noticed Pop started all the starters at the start of the 3rd Qtr.

WTF is this the real pop or a clone :lol

[Udrihlooms]

The Spurs putting away a team??


I hope you won't jinx them. Fourth quarter always makes a Spurs fan edgy and nervous nowadays. :lol

[Cant_Be_Faded]

bowen is looking like crap lately fellas, i love bruce bowen but it really does seem like we are playing 4 on 5 when we're on offense and he's on the floor

[Spurologist]

TP is guarding AI step for step.

AI/Melo have 2 pts the last 15 minutes

[sghspurs]

bowen is looking like crap lately fellas, i love bruce bowen but it really does seem like we are playing 4 on 5 when we're on offense and he's on the floor

Thats what I was thinking. He just can't hit anything at all.

[Spurs Brazil]

Spurs with 2 straight good games

[Please_dont_ban_me]

Does AI still play for the Nuggets? Lol.

The only reference you hear to him is when TP uses his moves.

[T-Pain]

damn spurs are killin them

[VaSpursFan]

spurs basketball is back

[ajh18]

bowen is looking like crap lately fellas, i love bruce bowen but it really does seem like we are playing 4 on 5 when we're on offense and he's on the floor

Um, with 9 points, bowen is outscoring iverson this game...

[Spurs Brazil]

Td Slam Dunk

[Please_dont_ban_me]

This announcer is annoying the hell out of me.

"The foul on Ginobilli". No, Ginobilli was fouled. He's done it at least a few times so far. "The foul on _______".

[fred33]

spurs basketball is back or nuggets basket ball suck

[yourtehclay]

Elson, Horry and Duncan were all on the floor at the same time.

[T-Pain]

This announcer is annoying the hell out of me.

"The foul on Ginobilli". No, Ginobilli was fouled. He's done it at least a few times so far. "The foul on _______".
dick stockton.

wish it was kevin harlan, he does a good job.

"Right between the eyes!!!!"

[Tek_XX]

spurs basketball is back

one game at a time buddy.

[Amare_32]

This game proves why the Nuggets are not really any threat to Dallas,Phoenix or San Antonio in the playoffs. Much ado about nothing. Although I am enjoying watching the Spurs playing Suns ball.

[Tek_XX]

dick stockton.

wish it was kevin harlan, he does a good job.

"Right between the eyes!!!!"

They save the "right between the eyes" guy for the Suns or the Mavericks.

[Spurologist]

:lmao

So Reggie, how exactly did Vaughn's head hit AI in the rib cage????

[yourtehclay]

who's on the ir tonight?

[Spurologist]

Matt Bonner Sighting

[T-Pain]

holy shit the red rocket

[ace3g]

Bonner is in the game !!!

[milkyway21]

26 pts Spurs advantage?

the other big men-Horry & Elson are doing well in the rbding :tu

[T-Pain]

Matt Bonner sighting thread in 3......2.......1......

[aaronstampler]

Gonna see a lot of Beno in the 4th.

[NuGGeTs-FaN]

Well good game :lol

The Nuggets still suck and im sure they have some kind of injury curse put on them by some witch doctor :depressed

JR is out for a while and AI hurt again, whats new though?

Anyway, good game.......... last one i get to see of the Nuggets for the next 12+ months (might be a blessing in disguise)

[ManuTim_best of Fwiendz]

Reggie sucks at commentary. The less he tries to say the better. He pulls a lot out of his ass.

[Spurologist]

[Please_dont_ban_me]

:lmao

So Reggie, how exactly did Vaughn's head hit AI in the rib cage????

Hahah.

People make mistakes. But at least acknowledge it. He just went silent and pretended like nothing happened. :lol

[T-Pain]

lets trade matt bonner

[Sam]

Damn it Bonner, you've been practicing shooting for a week. You need to get after this.

[T-Pain]

sweet, a better game to watch...

[Please_dont_ban_me]

Son of a b...

[exstatic]

[T-Pain]

Son of a b...

[sabar]

Grr I want to see our scrubs play.

[T-Pain]

[Sam]

Grr I want to see our scrubs play.
Me too. How can we bitch about them not getting in the game and how they are better than others and everything if we can't see them?

[T-Pain]

[sabar]

Me too. How can we bitch about them not getting in the game and how they are better than others and everything if we can't see them?

Exactly!

[Tek_XX]

i guess denver has better scrubs than we do.

[Spurologist]

:lol

Reggie just called Kwame Brown JUNK.

That's the first accurate statement he has made all night.

[T-Pain]

trade for derrmarr johnson thread in 3.........2..........1........

[T-Pain]

well i think im gonna hop in the shower and start studying for an exam i have tomorrow, this games a wrap

[Amare_32]

Why is Reggie even allowed to give commentary?

[exstatic]

THAT'S the carryover I wanted to see after the ASB. Spurs chain hang low.

[RC's Boss]

We R the shit beyatches!

[Please_dont_ban_me]

Lmao did Melo just stare down Bonner after that 3?


(Maybe it was Smith. Whoever it was though)

[Please_dont_ban_me]

Or maybe it wa DerMarr...

[exstatic]

Lmao did Melo just stare down Bonner after that 3?


(Maybe it was Smit. Whoever it was though)
Smith is out. Possible meniscus tear. As if Denver didn't have a bad enough night.

It was probably DerMarr.

[aaronstampler]

Oberto sucks.

[Spurologist]

Oberto sucks.

Let's just say he won't be doing any layup clinics any time soon

[Please_dont_ban_me]

Was that James White who Melo just walked across half court to say what's up to?

[milkyway21]

3-GAME WINNING STREAK and counting? :angel

[Texas_Ranger]

Bonner and Oberto=Fantastic duo.

[Please_dont_ban_me]

Smith is out. Possible meniscus tear. As if Denver didn't have a bad enough night.

It was probably DerMarr.

Think so...

How do you stare somebody down after hitting a 3 when you're down 20+ points? What an idiot.

[Sam]

Was that James White who Melo just walked across half court to say what's up to?
Probably, I'm sure they smoke it up together. :smokin

Bonner looked quite spry out there.

Don't worry about the scoring, thatll come when he gets back into playing shape.


Nice game tonight, though im waiting for

"This was just an OK win, the spurs got lucky cause of........"

[T Park]

9 points 7 rebounds for Elson.

Wonder if this was good enough game to qualify as a "Good game"

[Please_dont_ban_me]

Is this LAC / PhX game the afta' afta' party for this thread?

[Amarelooms]

Nuggets just looked bad...all that talent what a waste

[Please_dont_ban_me]

That was a SICK dunk by Amare. He definately has his legs back.

[Spurologist]

That was a SICK dunk by Amare. He definately has his legs back.

The CARRY by Nash before that was sicker.

[T-Pain]

They save the "right between the eyes" guy for the Suns or the Mavericks.
LOL! you called it, Harlan is callin the suns game...

[mikejones99]

[twincam]

only eight pages in the spurs vs nuggets blog?

That's odd

[Please_dont_ban_me]

only eight pages in the spurs vs nuggets blog?

That's odd

Not much to bitch about.

[twincam]

Still, it's shocking to only see so few pages...

As long as we win the games....

[bigfan]

Good game. Parker, Manu and Tim were great, the rest looked pretty good. Poor old Robert Horry couldnt buy a shot til late (but he still looks good on defense). In garbage time Beno didnt even look bad. All in all, I like where we are at right now. The older guys will have their good and bad games and thats ok as long as they dont all have bad games the same night. We seemed to get alot of calls our way in this one I must admit.

[01Snake]

Poor old Robert Horry couldnt buy a shot til late (but he still looks good on defense).

Agreed. He can't hit shit but he is out there hustling and making things happen.
:fro

[angel_luv]

Beautiful win by the Spurs. Great seeing Matt Bonner back in action. He got a super warm reception from the crowd. :)

[LilMissSPURfect]

I'll put my two cents in:

I made it home in time to catch the 4th qtr...Great EFFORT from the guys! KEEP POUNDING THAT ROCK!

[LEONARD]

only eight pages in the spurs vs nuggets blog?

That's odd

It's obvious that the bandwagoners are starting to bail...probably pulling for Cubes' Mavs now...

[leemajors]

It's obvious that the bandwagoners are starting to bail...probably pulling for Cubes' Mavs now...
from one bandwagon to the next! manifest destiny!

[boutons_]

"the 4th qtr...Great EFFORT"

WTF? Spurs lost 4th qtr 16 - 32 ! :lol

With more effort like that we have a chance for Oden or Durant! :lol

[mikejones99]

end of the bench played most of the 4th

[MrChug]

"The shots that I took, I know I can hit with my eyes closed,'' said Iverson, who went 3-of-11 from the field. "Maybe I should have closed them. I took 11 shots, and I thought I got 11 good looks.'' Allen Iverson actually said that. I don't know who took worse shots...him or Melo.

I think the Spurs played the most complete 40 minutes I've seen this season. Problem is the games are 48 minutes long :( Hopefully we can play fuller and fuller complete games coming into the stretch run.
