Round 1, Game 1: Spurs vs Nuggets Official Game Blog Thread

[WalterBenitez]

:lol I'm loving this. Denver schooling the spurs.
:ihit

[Vinnie_Johnson]

:lol I'm loving this. Denver schooling the spurs.

Denver will lose this just watch.

[Kori Ellis]

Spurs fans are running to the exits right now.

:pctoss Stay til the end!

[T Park]

Big 3

17 of 47.

pathetic.

[Admidave50]

Come on, TP must hit his FTs!!

[ALVAREZ6]

I'm embarassed. I could have played better than most of the Spurs today.

[nkdlunch]

Wow Duncan is getting owned. what the fuck?

[Tek_XX]

The Spurs still take this series but dammit why do the spurs always have to do it like this.

[GrandeDavid]

Thankfully I left home yesterday (San Antonio) and am back in my other home (Brazil), and am at least geographically far from such a poor showing by the Spurs.

[ATXSPUR]

Get Your Shit Together Spurs!!!!!!!!!!

[ALVAREZ6]

mother fucker.

[easjer]

Yes, one game. Of a 7 game series. Nevertheless, sickening performance. Even if they manage to win, sickening performance. They just now figure out that driving in and racking up the fouls might be a good idea instead of settling for jump shots that aren't falling? Really?

[Xylus]

This game is faaaar from being over

[anonymous coward]

so why did oberto only get 13 minutes?
OMG if not by oberto the spurs would be 15+ down

[Darkwaters]

Spurs fans are running to the exits right now.

:pctoss Stay til the end!

To the end
:bang

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

Tim has been BAD. He hasn't thought through his strategy against Nene and Camby.

Manu was just off. Hope he finds some form, he is the key.

Elson was lost.

Oberto, Vaughn, Horry and Finley tried hard, and Parker is keeping us in the game.

[hitmanyr2k]

Spurs fans are running to the exits right now.

:pctoss Stay til the end!

Can you blame them? lol. This is just an embarrassing display of no heart tonight...especially by Duncan.

[VaSpursFan]

we let the Nuggs impose their will on us...they played more physical and attacked the basket. guess we thought they would roll over.

[ALVAREZ6]

Get Your Shit Together Spurs!!!!!!!!!!eat my cock

[Jimcs50]

FYI

Red Sox just hit 4 consecutive homers in their game against the Yankees to go up 4-3.

:elephant


Wow

[RashoFan]

it's not over yet guys, have some faith
I with GinoFan there! The Spurs are a team capable of turning the deficit into a WIN!

[DDS4]

Tony makes his FTs, it's only a 6 point game with over 2 mins to play.

We just have to play D and get it done.

[aaronstampler]

Pop should have played the big three a little bit in game 82. They were all too rusty coming out of the game the first game. Practices won't do it.

[ALVAREZ6]

damn it

[T Park]

tough decision for Pop

horry was hitting shots and playing well

but Oberto was rebounding and I assume defending.

Tough.

[ATXSPUR]

eat my cock

no thank you.

[MannyIsGod]

You guys are fools. Did you think a team with 2 superstar guards and a bunch of good role players would be a pushover? Grow a pair and sac up.

[Ginofan]

Spurs fans are running to the exits right now.

:pctoss Stay til the end!


I hate that shit! No one has any faith in this team. Even IF we lose, it's a 7 game series...let's not all commit suicide over one game, good grief.

[Tek_XX]

Pop getting exposed with no game plan is at least somewhat enjoyable.

[Vinnie_Johnson]

Denver can't take care of the ball watch they will fold here.

[DDS4]

Just think how demoralizing it would be if the Nuggs didn't win this game.

[davemaniscool]

Spurs fans are running to the exits right now.

:pctoss Stay til the end!

One criticism I've had about some SA fans is they don't support their team when it looks like the game is over.

[GrandeDavid]

Just what we f-ing feared - Iverson and Anthony showing up together this series.

[RashoFan]

Spurs fans are running to the exits right now.

:pctoss Stay til the end!
No shit...Tazer their butts back into their seats....

[jackiel1219]

great, now TP is missing the FTs

[davemaniscool]

nice freethrow. That was a gag shot

[theMUHMEshow]

Denver can't take care of the ball watch they will fold here.

iverson isnt some first year scrub.

[T Park]

Pop should have played the big three a little bit in game 82. They were all too rusty coming out of the game the first game. Practices won't do it.

great point.

I said this at the time of that game.

Give em 20 mins, then sit.

Or else itll be a week between games and the guys will come out like Horry after a 3 week layoff.

[Clutch20]

Give cred to Nugz, they're showing more hustle and movement off the ball, we're off on all def. stats, can't match their intensity, put Vaughn back in.

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

Wow Duncan is getting owned. what the fuck?

Reasons:

1. he's hesitant. Holding the ball and getting stripped. Hesitate for 1 sec then make your move after the cutter is through.

2. he's trying to back down Nene, who is stronger than he is. he's not backing down Camby. WTF???

3. use your left hand, old man.

[davemaniscool]

nice D by Manu on the entry

[VaSpursFan]

where was the 5 second call refs...wtf??

[Darkwaters]

Nice, a lost timeout for the Nuggets could be huge down the stretch.

[Vinnie_Johnson]

Denver is going to fold like a house of cards here in the last 2 min.

[ratm1221]

Man, San Antonio is in a funk. This game might come down to the last few seconds. Phoenix played bad today, San Antonio don't look much better. Wonder if the Mavs are going to stink it up too...

[Kori Ellis]

Pop should have played the big three a little bit in game 82. They were all too rusty coming out of the game the first game. Practices won't do it.

That's what I said too. I wanted to see the Big 3 play 10-15mpg in the last couple games. You can't just take a week off.

[T Park]

Oberto might have to start next game.

Elson is useless against physical guys like nene and Camby.

[ShoogarBear]

FYI

Red Sox just hit 4 consecutive homers in their game against the Yankees to go up 4-3.

:elephant


WowNobody gives a shit.

[aaronstampler]

I know this is off topic, but the Red Sox just hit 4 homers in a row.

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

No shit...Tazer their butts back into their seats....

Agreed.

Spurs fans are soft these days. No excuse to EVER leave a playoff game. :wtf

[Vinnie_Johnson]

Turnover who called that?

[theMUHMEshow]

Wow CAMBY why would you try to fucking take someone off the damn dribble.


AND WHAT THE HELL is up with your PA guy?

[Spurologist]

HOOOOOOOOOOOOORRRRRRRRRRRRRYYYYYYYYYYYyyyy

[theMUHMEshow]

ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh


HORRY NO!!!!!!!!!! AHHHHHHHHHHHHHH

[jackiel1219]

Horry!!!!

[davemaniscool]

Ot Ot Ot Ot

[aaronstampler]

87-83

[RashoFan]

Horry for 3333333333333333333333333333333333333

[Vinnie_Johnson]

Time out coach.

[Spurs Brazil]

Horry 3333333333

[VaSpursFan]

Reasons:

1. he's hesitant. Holding the ball and getting stripped. Hesitate for 1 sec then make your move after the cutter is through.

2. he's trying to back down Nene, who is stronger than he is. he's not backing down Camby. WTF???

3. use your left hand, old man.

agree. if timmy doesn't know what he wants to do with the ball when he gets it, give it up and repost, keep the ball moving and don't hold it.

[Darkwaters]

Nice shot Horry.

[T Park]

Give cred to Nugz, they're showing more hustle and movement off the ball, we're off on all def. stats, can't match their intensity, put Vaughn back in.

Vaughn wasn't doing much either unfortunately.

But agreed, and you knew this would be this way.

Denver is more athletic, tougher, and just a much better team than in 05.

Everyone laughed at me when i said this series will be tougher than phoenix and the toughest first round matchup ever.

[theMUHMEshow]

Damn they're doubling hard.

[Quasar]

Go spurs go. They're gonna chip the deficit away!

[Mavs<Spurs]

Spurs fans are running to the exits right now.

:pctoss Stay til the end!

I guess they want to avoid the traffic and don't feel that this basketball is worth watching.


Pretty disappointing performance by the Spurs.


This is not the team I expected to see.

[ratm1221]

Spurs turning up the defense a little.

[aaronstampler]

That was a bailout call.

[davemaniscool]

hmmm... looks lik Melo picked up his pivot foot. didn't look like a push...

[theMUHMEshow]

Hack Duncan!

[Darkwaters]

Dangit Parker

[Admidave50]

Four Point Game!

[resistanze]

OMG Parker... and he's hurt??

[theMUHMEshow]

IVERSON SMART MOVE...hold the damn ball up

[Vinnie_Johnson]

Need to go strong to the rack on Denver.

[aaronstampler]

Fuck Horry taking bad fouls.

[Leetonidas]

This one is over.

[davemaniscool]

whats with the quick whistle's. TP's shot indicative of the game

[T Park]

The problem with rebounding all year surfaces its ugly head here.

Not good.

[theMUHMEshow]

owwww

[Jimcs50]

Nobody gives a shit.


Just trying to brighten the mood

:depressed

[ATXSPUR]

he got up and ran to the other side of the court i believe.

[koopa]

parker is the biggest bitch alive.......this is why he can never be considered a elite player, he never shows up in the post season, he's a little hoe bag, and can't play in big games that actually mean something..........

[Spurologist]

F
U
C
K

[easjer]

:bang

[Vinnie_Johnson]

Parker just hurt his pride by tanking that layup.

[Mavs<Spurs]

All of the offensive rebounding we allowed the Nuggets to get, all of the turnovers in the third quarter and the fact that the Nuggets were the aggressive team and intimidated us was what cost us this ballgame.

[TheAffricanFan]

Is Tim Duncan In The Game?

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

Why does no-one on our team have a left hand???

Tony and Tim should have to do 500 left handed putbacks every practice until they learn how to use it. :angry

[ALVAREZ6]

wow we suck

[RashoFan]

This one is over.
There is still time on the clock...it is not over

[Jimcs50]

I win vBookie!!!!

[easjer]

Would it matter if Tim Duncan was?

[Gerryatrics]

Almost looked like Parker didn't know what part of his body to grab when he went down, not sure if he was legit hurt or just staying down to try to cover up missing yet another point blank layup.

[ALVAREZ6]

:ttiwwp:

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

Don't blame TP, Tim and Manu have been worse.

[DDS4]

Nuggs deserved to win...they kept their poise, stopped us in the 4th, and made big shots.

Just need to bounce back in the next game. Can't go down 0-2.

[ATXSPUR]

This Shit Is Fucking Over!!!!

[Quasar]

hmm looks like the spurs are going down - down by 8 points :(

[aaronstampler]

It's just one game. This team will never sweep anybody. They need to get angry first to beat anybody.

[mattyc]

Uh oh.

[ALVAREZ6]

:flag: :flag: :flag: :flag: :flag: :flag: :flag: :flag:


Yes!

[Jimcs50]

There is still time on the clock...it is not over

It is not over...but it is over

[boutons_]

-8 pts, 63 seconds left.

Spurs blow HCA.

[01Snake]

Nice way to blow Game 1

[T Park]

Steve Blake almost matching Ginobili in points makes you want to just hurl.

[Tippecanoe]

looks like spurs just went cold at the wrong time. hopefully this is just a wake up call

[DampierAmGod]

Both teams played like crap tonight.. especially all those unforced crap turnovers by Denver. This should be a great series when both teams start clicking.

[Leetonidas]

Well, the Spurs always lose one of the first two home games in the opening round in championship years. :lol

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

Just like 03 and 05... ;)

We need to find a way to shut down either AI or Melo. They've killed us tonight.

[Jimcs50]

I think I would rather they lose this series than lose to Dallas anyway.

[theMUHMEshow]

AI sucks now haha

PWNED

[davemaniscool]

Ot Ot Ot Ot Ot Ot Ot Ot Ot Ot Ot Ot Ot Ot Ot Ot Ot Ot Ot Ot Ot Ot Ot Ot Ot

[PB&J]

great, we just gave a hot team confidence

[Quasar]

Go Horry!!! The revival of the dinosaur!

[Vinnie_Johnson]

Denver is a dumb team.

[Quasar]

Go Horry!!! The revival of the dinosaur!

Old age is still good!

[Gerryatrics]

Well, they're making it interesting.

[T Park]

Horry and Oberto.

Pretty much the only guys that gave a shit tonight


But Horry doesnt get a pass either.

His rebounding was pathetic.

hell 02 esque.

[aaronstampler]

Still not over. 91-87.

[xamila rey]

it is not over until is over...

[theMUHMEshow]

Denver is a dumb team.

Karl is a dumbass coach.

[davemaniscool]

Just like 03 and 05... ;)

We need to find a way to shut down either AI or Melo. They've killed us tonight.

Or how about our big two need to play better than their big two.

[Kori Ellis]

:lol at people cussing out Tony. Have you seen Tim and Manu today?

This is team suckage.

[ratm1221]

I smell OT.

[Jimcs50]

Well, they're making it interesting.


Just like the Spurs to keep me from watching my Sox sooner.

:spin

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

Hey, we lose the first game the series isn't over.

But we do need Tim and Manu to turn up.
We need to play some D
And we need to work out a way to slow down one of their two stars.

[RashoFan]

This Shit Is Fucking Over!!!!
The Spurs are not flatlining....just a little Braycardic and it looks like they may have gotten some Atropine....It is not over...

[Vinnie_Johnson]

Karl is a dumbass coach.

That too.

[T Park]

We need to find a way to shut down either AI or Melo. They've killed us tonight.

Novel idea.

Let Bruce bowen actually play the damn game if your not gonna run plays for finley.

[theMUHMEshow]

Parker is screwed

[Tippecanoe]

this ones over. theres not enough time left. but it sure doesnt hurt to hope

[Admidave50]

Man, it could have been a 2 pt game if TP scored his missed layup

[Tek_XX]

Is Manu playing in this game because i'm not sure.

[VaSpursFan]

i'm really tired of the Spurs needing wake up calls after losing game 1's of the first round

[theMUHMEshow]

Parker is screwed

maybe not...GREAT D

[ShoogarBear]

Good defense there.

[Vinnie_Johnson]

Denver is doing their best to lose this.

[Clutch20]

I'd settle for overtime

[Gerryatrics]

Good job on not drawing the foul on AI.

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

Great D TP!

When he applies himself, he's a really good defender.

[T Park]

at people cussing out Tony. Have you seen Tim and Manu today?

This is team suckage

when in doubt, blame tony.

Ginobili and duncan have been just as bad, maybe worse.

[VaSpursFan]

Is Manu playing in this game because i'm not sure.

he's playing like shit :madrun

[howbouthemspurs]

tooooo close!

[aaronstampler]

Quick score and foul. They're gonna sag hard inside when Tony drives, so whoever he kicks it out to has to bury the 3 and make it a 1 point game.

[DDS4]

Quick two...then foul.

[davemaniscool]

OT OT OT OT OT.

If not at least Spiderman's on :)

[theMUHMEshow]

i'm really tired of the Spurs needing wake up calls after losing game 1's of the first round

That is what happens when you have a couple rings...hell the Pistons only have one and it takes a few loses for them to wake up as well.

[xamila rey]

i smell big shot rob

[Quasar]

Go Manu... Create something out of nothing and erase memories of the previous 3 quarters!

[ShoogarBear]

Hey, weren't the Nuggets the team Rasheed pulled that 3/4-court bullshit on? :lol

[anonymous coward]

Just like 03 and 05... ;)

We need to find a way to shut down either AI or Melo. They've killed us tonight.
:rolleyes

[Vinnie_Johnson]

Take it strong to the rim.

[Jimcs50]

when in doubt, blame tony.

Ginobili and duncan have been just as bad, maybe worse.


I blame TPark....actually

[T Park]

draw up a fake horry three, for Ginobili.

[resistanze]

Melo is a dumbass :lol

[RashoFan]

2pt game....

[aaronstampler]

Foul!

[theMUHMEshow]

Oh Wow

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

Manu and Tim have DEFINITELY been worse than TP. Leave Tony alone, seriously.

[adidas11]

The Nuggest suck...especially Carmelo Anthony.

[MannyIsGod]

Nice quick score. Pray for a miss here.

[T Park]

I blame TPark....actually

:lol

go ahead, i gots strong shoulders.

[Vinnie_Johnson]

No way he makes both he will miss the second.

[RashoFan]

Believe

[aaronstampler]

Time keeper is fucking us. He cost us half a second after the foul.

[theMUHMEshow]

another reason Karl is an idiot. He shouldve been in Melo's ear about NOT overplaying the inbound.

[Jimcs50]

1 foul on Timmy.


So much for a backlash.

:p:

[Gerryatrics]

Not sure the play was drawn up that way...

Where is Barry?

[theMUHMEshow]

MELO IS A GAMER you had to know he was going to hit both of them. Come on Vin

[aaronstampler]

We let the wrong guy catch the ball there.

[Vinnie_Johnson]

Oh shit I was wrong. Who needs a beer?

[T Park]

Draw up a 3 for Horry, then pray they miss a FT

[easjer]

Sigh.

Fuck.

Sigh.

Nope.

They had better fucking win the next four in a fucking row.

[theMUHMEshow]

LMAO at all the communists that left early

[davemaniscool]

NOW the Spurs have a sense of urgency...c'mon

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

Oh well, if we play this HORRIBLY and only lose by a couple, I'm not panicking. We can come back from this.

[boutons_]

Spurs -12 at FT line

[SpursDynasty]

Anyone else see that they let a few seconds run off clock after Anthony was fouled?????

[anonymous coward]

Not sure the play was drawn up that way...

Where is Barry?

shitting in the restroom

[Vinnie_Johnson]

MELO IS A GAMER you had to know he was going to hit both of them. Come on Vin

Funny he always tanks at the palace.

[DDS4]

Quick two...then foul again.

[GrandeDavid]

As revolted as my writing may suggest, I know its a long series. I think the Spurs will regroup and actually start shooting better to take this series.

[theMUHMEshow]

Waht The Hell Was That!!!!!!!!!!

[ATXSPUR]

this is game.

[jackiel1219]

it's over

[Amuseddaysleeper]

uhh finley...........wtf

[theMUHMEshow]

Wow! was that a POS play. Did Karl draw that up for the Spurs?

[T Park]

1 foul on Timmy.


So much for a backlash.



I don't think hes been agressive enough on d to warrant a damn foul.

[Leetonidas]

How in the world do you call a foul in that situation?

[DDS4]

Dammit. Finley didn't need that.

[Jimcs50]

Now it is over.

[aaronstampler]

That play was fucked. Blake tripped Manu and the ref didn't call it.

[Gerryatrics]

Yikes, that was ugly. Not smart basketball at all.

[Tek_XX]

A sliding Finley three. I swear pop is a genius

[easjer]

At least they have a lot of mistakes to fix. Sucking ass can (hopefully) be fixed.

[theMUHMEshow]

Holy shit NENE hit a FT.


I am shocked JR smith did nothing tonight.

[Crookshanks]

69 points from Iverson and Anthony - that just ain't gonna cut it! Tim Duncan should have stayed home tonight - he's been less than worthless! And why in the world don't we have any freethrows? Come on guys - you're better than this!

[boutons_]

damn, now we got Denver 1-1 at best.

[lefty]

WOOOHOOO ; Denver wins !!! exactly what I wanted !!! That means championship ; history is repeating itself :elephant :elephant :elephant

[dg7md]

I love it when fans leave early, so the players get insulted and realize they showed no heart tonight, at all.

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

This series will go 7 games, mark my words.

[T Park]

almost identical to the raptors Nets game yesterday.

damn near identical.

[Vinnie_Johnson]

Spurs in six.

[xamila rey]

ok now it is over...

[Leetonidas]

And once again, the Nuggets steal it.

[RashoFan]

Okay then..It is now over....we will be back for game 2!

[VaSpursFan]

man...these spurs, where is the killer instinct

[Aggie Hoopsfan]

I can't figure out which was worse - small ball or AARP ball.

[easjer]

Next game had better be better. People pay money for this shit.

[aaronstampler]

That was crappy. I can't believe Manu got only three shots in the second half. The big three had a pretty miserable game except for the 3rd quarter.

[xamila rey]

great game by the nuggets!

[theMUHMEshow]

Ivo: 11/16 after he started 0/6 btw.

[ALVAREZ6]

Doug Collins sounds a lot like Steve Kerr.

[Admidave50]

Fuck fuck fuck

[T Park]

A sliding Finley three. I swear pop is a genius

I swear that could've been the third option, but lets berate the coach first why not.

[Spurfect.]

:)

[anonymous coward]

WOOOHOOO ; Denver wins !!! exactly what I wanted !!! That means championship ; history is repeating itself :elephant :elephant :elephant

you can't be serious

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

I love it when fans leave early, so the players get insulted and realize they showed no heart tonight, at all.

Nah, man, screw that. The fans HAVE to stay and scream to the end.

Spurs fans are SPOILED. In 2003, we were the most intimidating place in the league to play, now, no-one is scared of coming in here. :depressed

[boutons_]

Spurs didn't come ready to play, didn't hustle, no focus, bad offense, bad shooting, no they're in a nice hole.

[koopa]

:lol at people cussing out Tony. Have you seen Tim and Manu today?

This is team suckage.



i'll explain why i cussed out tony, it's because he always chocks.......tim and manu have proven they can thrive in the playoffs.....while parker has never made a big impact on us winning a series, the back up pg has always had to bail him out in big games......he can't handle playoff games, sure he'll have a few very good games, but overall he's just a pussy in the playoffs..........and it will never change..........

[ALVAREZ6]

That was crappy. I can't believe Manu got only three shots in the second half. The big three had a pretty miserable game except for the 3rd quarter.fuckin assholes

[SpursFanFirst]

We'll get 'em next time! Now...let's go, Warriors! :lol

[chevcmr68]

:dizzy no heart.....

[judaspriestess]

Timmy played like runny caca, so taking that into consideration, we are ok.

Spurs always play like pendejos their first game.

[WalterBenitez]

this team is old with no defense and bad coached for that sir!

[T Park]

so much for avery going BIG jim.

Starting deven george :lol

[ALVAREZ6]

How many FTs did the Spurs shoot?


fuck

[Tippecanoe]

maybe we'll see an encore of '05

[Clutch20]

Last gasp, one goes to Nugs at the end of regulation, Denver got to the free throw line more times, they were the agressors tonight and their shooters came through.
Spurs did play flat.
Except for Vaughn, he must have sensed the lack of energy the boys showed and tried to light the fire but then they took him out and we went flat and careless with execution.
Stinker of a game.
I would hate to be a Spur right now come morning practice :(

[ratm1221]

I'll have to say I'm very surprised. I thought for sure that Spurs would take game 1. I'd be willing to bet that Suns are breathing a sigh of relief right now. I'm sure the last thing they want to see is SA in the second round.

[spursrule32]

good smack to the Spurs face - just what we needed. Time to wake up

[efrem1]

Where the heck do these nuggets get their energy? AI and Melo played 40 plus minutes yet they play like Supermen. Nuggets bench scores only six points. Wear them down you idiots. :bang

[davemaniscool]

Time to watch Spiderman. Jolt drinks for all the Spurs for the next game.

[Mavs<Spurs]

Well, the better team won.

Denver is better than San Antonio.
Hopefully, they won't sweep us.
Maybe we can win a game.
On the other hand, if we play like this, we probably will get swept.

[boutons_]

HCA down the drain. Nice going, Big Three.

Nuggs wanted it worse, and they got it.

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

i'll explain why i cussed out tony, it's because he always chocks.......tim and manu have proven they can thrive in the playoffs.....while parker has never made a big impact on us winning a series, the back up pg has always had to bail him out in big games......he can't handle playoff games, sure he'll have a few very good games, but overall he's just a pussy in the playoffs..........and it will never change..........

Bullshit. He was great last year, until he got injured and lost a step.

Tony was okay tonight, Tim and Manu were horrible.

Get off the TP hate wagon, seriously. :rolleyes

[Crookshanks]

This loss is squarely on the shoulders of Tim - he played like a 3rd stringer tonight. He's the team leader but he sure didn't show it - no passion, no fire, no anger - just plain sucking!

[aaronstampler]

almost identical to the raptors Nets game yesterday.

damn near identical.


What the hell are you talking about? Raptors played way better on offense and the Nets didn't have two guys get off, just one.


It was pretty similar to Game 1 in '05. Replace AI with Boykins and there you go. We played soft and unisnpired. If Horry and Oberto are gonna be our best players, we're in trouble. The good thing is now the team will get angry.

I didn't like the entire team taking off the last two games. They mentally checked out and I don't like going into the playoffs on a losing streak. We could've had James White and Jackie Butler play as hard as the big three played today. Just miserable.

[lefty]

you can't be serious

1999...2003...2005

We lost opening games at home ; and we played horrible in those games >>>>>>> Wake-up call, Spurs'ego hurt, Spurs are pissed off, win championship

[ForeignFan]

TP 19 pts (8-20), 6rbs, 8 ass, TO
he kept us in the game

[T Park]

Replace AI with Boykins and there you go

replace AI with Andre Miller is more like it.

[Aggie Hoopsfan]

All the big three sucked.

Manu was 1 for 20 or whatever the fuck.

Tony had a bunch of braindead possessions in the second half that killed us. How huge was the layup he passed up with about two to play? We wouldn't have had to foul.

Duncan... two shots in the fourth quarter. TWO. And he got stripped several times by Nene when he brought the ball down around his knees. DAMN Tim, that's only been your fucking weakness on offense for I don't know, your entire career? Keep the ball up you fucking dumbass.

Pop, where were the adjustments the second half? Iverson and Anthony go for 61. You've got to put Bruce on AI, Tony cannot guard Allen. Then either Manu or Finley have to step up on 'Melo.

This team is sunk if Pop is as fucking stubborn about how we play these guys. Gotta adjust.

Spurs -14 FT pts, lose by 6.

[twincam]

The Spurs are sticking to their 1st Commandment.

Thou shall lose game 1.

Atleast they stick to their beliefs

[T Park]

TP 19 pts (8-20), 6rbs, 8 ass, TO
he kept us in the game

Yeah this is on Duncan, Ginobili, and pop no question.

[rocyaice]

Ginobilli and Duncan played like shit. You can't have them two play like shit and let Melo and AI score over 60 and expect to win. Impossible. Props to Horry and Finley for their effort.

[mattyc]

Letting both AI and Melo hit 30 is inexcusable.

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

Tim made poor decisions most of the night.
