Round 1, Game 5: Spurs vs Nuggets Official Game Blog Thread

[GrandeDavid]

I like our D the O is not making me too happy!!

Except for Finley's O!

[VaSpursFan]

horry is a b-ball genius

[Mojazz]

horry....

[Aggie Hoopsfan]

:lmao

Najera trying to pressure out top, so Horry runs a give and go on his sorry ass with Manu.

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

I like Najera. Always have. He hustles, rebounds, plays D, and would look great in the Silver & Black.

I like him too, he's a lot like Malik was. The surprising thing - he has REALLY GOOD HANDLES!?

However, we don't need an undersized PF really.

[Spurs Brazil]

Horry dunk!!!

[jackiel1219]

Nice cut by Horry

[Vinnie_Johnson]

very overrated coach

He is dumb and his team plays just like him.

[ManuTim_best of Fwiendz]

What was Pop lecturing Tony about?

[Ginofan]

Finally Pop rippin' into Tony. THANK YOU

[Amuseddaysleeper]

damn!

Pop is comin down HARD as hell on parker! ouch!!

[GrandeDavid]

Bad possession.

[TampaDude]

Screw the jumpers...Parker needs to drive the ball...HORRY WITH THE BUCKET!

[Supergirl]

Horry does NOT want to go back to Denver.

[Jimcs50]

Pop is chewing TP's ass out bigtime.

Hope he has enough left for Eva.

[ManuTim_best of Fwiendz]

Finally Pop rippin' into Tony. THANK YOU
I think Horry scolded him too.

[01Snake]

Why can't I type in all Caps?? Keep getting only the first letter in caps?

[easjer]

Nice play last time. Good on Pop for yelling at Tony - move the ball, don't dribble forever and take a bad jumpshot.

[GrandeDavid]

Slam dunk, RoHo!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Udrihlooms]

This series is going back to Denver. Carmelo is gonna win it for them. Just wait.

Your series is going back to Dallas. Dirk is gonna win it for them. Just wait.
:lmao

[dbreiden83080]

Come on NOW D up and put these guys away they are on the ropes!!

[VaSpursFan]

What was Pop lecturing Tony about?

about taking stupid shots. crisp ball movement vs dribbling for 20 seconds and shooting a brick.

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

Horry wants to go an rest his tired body for the Suns methinks! :lol

[Ginofan]

I think Horry scolded him too.

Damn well he should too. That was a terrible offensive set.

[Marcus Bryant]

Old Spice will turn you into a man with a mid-life crisis.

[ManuTim_best of Fwiendz]

Nice play last time. Good on Pop for yelling at Tony - move the ball, don't dribble forever and take a bad jumpshot.
Oh, no...I missed that possession.

YEah.. come onnn Tony, play better. we still can't afford to blow possessions. No matter how comfortable both Fans and the players are feeling about today's game.

[Mojazz]

hold on...

[Marcus Bryant]

WTF man? Sean did more while sick than f-in Zo.

[TampaDude]

about taking stupid shots. crisp ball movement vs dribbling for 20 seconds and shooting a brick.

Exactly...

[Jimcs50]

Horry wants to go an rest his tired body for the Suns methinks! :lol


He will not get much rest. Phoenix closes out LA tonight.

[dav4463]

Najera is a train wreck. He is dangerous. He is going to hurt himself, his teammates, or one of the Spurs. I hate when he's in the game!

[easjer]

Nice pass to Horry for a dunk.

Let's keep this momentum going.

[Marcus Bryant]

I'm glad we have Dei Lynam to inform us that this is a critical time for the Nuggets.

[aaronstampler]

I just like that all these teams like Dallas and Denver and Phoenix are killing their stars playing them monster minutes and Pop still plays his guys 30 mins like it's February.

[efrem1]

Get this thing to double digits please!!

[Kobulingam]

MANU TIME (next round) !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Mojazz]

hold back AI...

[Marcus Bryant]

Nice.

[jackiel1219]

Finley!!!!

[hitmanyr2k]

Finley is automatic right now.

[Ginofan]

:bling MONEY MIKE! :bling

[Marcus Bryant]

Nice assist from Oberto on that 3.

[Spurs Brazil]

Finley 333333333333333

[ambchang]

Finley is ON FIRE. And you gotta love Oberto, gotta love him, what a smart basketball player.

[jackiel1219]

5 fouls on Nene

[Kobulingam]

I just like that all these teams like Dallas and Denver and Phoenix are killing their stars playing them monster minutes and Pop still plays his guys 30 mins like it's February.

No manu. Manu has been on extreme rest since last year's playoffs.

[TampaDude]

Finley!!! Burnin' down the house!!!

[davemaniscool]

He is dumb and his team plays just like him.

If Jackson, Riley or Pop had that team Denver would be monsters. Karl's whining, complaining, bitching and throwing his players under the bus just sucks the life out of that franchise.

[RashoFan]

The crowd sounds good with the chants
FINDOG

[VaSpursFan]

this may be it

[Mojazz]

Finley is freakin HOT...

[easjer]

Five on Nene.

YES!!!

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

WOW! Fin 6/7 from 3-ball.

Mmmm-hmmm. :D

[boutons_]

Quit clapping Tim!! :lol

[Spurs Brazil]

5 on Nene

[Supergirl]

Finley hits a 3, Nene has 5 PFs...this is good.

[Marcus Bryant]

Wtf

[ManuTim_best of Fwiendz]

Finley is money.

Manu can't buy a shot. He needs to be paid by Mark Cuban.

[davemaniscool]

refs trying to do what they can for Denver

[easjer]

Fuck that man.

Continuation on what planet??

[TampaDude]

Bullshit call...

[hitmanyr2k]

That's was the longest continuation ever.

[Spurs Brazil]

WTF, A.Carter killing us

[Aggie Hoopsfan]

WTF is with the bullshit continuations?

[Supergirl]

We cannot Anthony fucking Carter to beat us. Come on.

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

No manu. Manu has been on extreme rest since last year's playoffs.

BS. he was great in games 2, 3 and 4. What's the real issue here?

[Mojazz]

ginobili sucks this night...

[MaNuMaNiAc]

seriously, why not take Manu out, he seems to be playing like crap. Keeping him in can only hurt our chances!

[easjer]

Are you fucking kidding me? No foul call there? They wrapped him up to strip him.

[ManuTim_best of Fwiendz]

Man, Manu could have gotten to the line.

[davemaniscool]

obvious foul. this games gonna get ugly quick if refs start suckin this up

[jackiel1219]

Tim with the bank shot

[Ginofan]

Bank is open :bling

[Mojazz]

Iverson for 3..

[ATXSPUR]

damnit iverson!!! you stupid midget you are supposed to just lay down and give up!!!!!

[Aggie Hoopsfan]

The attempted 'assist' by the refs tonight is downright comical. Anthony Carter gets a continuation? Gimme a break.

[Spurs Brazil]

Damn AI

[VaSpursFan]

chase AI off the 3 point line...make hime drive...which is what GS should have dont to Dirk last night

[phyzik]

Does Michael Finley work here?? because he's not a very good doctor putting dagger after Dagger into Denvers hearts.

http://www.cardiologyclinic.org/espanol/ccsalogo.jpg

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

Okay, let's not give AI the opportunity to get hot...

[jackiel1219]

another bank shot by Tim

[Aggie Hoopsfan]

The bank is open.

[Kobulingam]

Anthony Carter playing better than Vince Carter did before he was traded.

[davemaniscool]

camby has already gone fishing. take advantage

[Spurs Brazil]

TD bank again

[ATXSPUR]

Call A Fucking Timeout!!!!

[VaSpursFan]

fucking stupid d

[TampaDude]

Deju vu all over again wiith Duncan...

[jackiel1219]

back to back 3s by AI

[Ginofan]

awww shit, don't let AI get hot now!

[Mojazz]

back to back shit for iverson...

Hold him back!!!!

[Aggie Hoopsfan]

Nice three for AI after Najera completely wrapped up Parker on a 'screen'.

Fuck the refs.

[easjer]

Shit man. AI is in.

Timmy is coming up big, but they've gained 4 points. Let's try to stop that from happening, ok?

[Spurs Brazil]

AI again

[TampaDude]

Dammit...we gotta stop giving them those easy 3s...

[GrandeDavid]

Tim's really being assertive now. I'm loving it. We are NOT losing this bitch.

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

I shouldn't have mocked Carter (a chump who couldn't work out the Spurs' system enough to last more than a couple of months here), he's gone off for 8/2.

[RashoFan]

Manu is not able to make a basket tonight...I have an egg in hand,next time he goes back in, I will rub the TV screen an take away his ojo....

[Gros Membres!]

Yikes.

[GrandeDavid]

Excuse me, I meant "beotch".

[davemaniscool]

nice passing

[VaSpursFan]

great ball movement...oberto has a knack for getting open

[Spurs Brazil]

Oberto layup

[GrandeDavid]

Damn Iverson hitting threes now. Weather the storm, boys. Possesion ball now. Smart shots, no turnovers.

[ManuTim_best of Fwiendz]

Oberto has good games when Manu sucks.

[TampaDude]

Wedgie!

[jmard5]

Oberto!

[davemaniscool]

cryverson is starting to....waaaahhhhhh

[ambchang]

Absolutely beautiful basketball.
Duncan is cutting the Denver defense like it was tofu.

[ManuTim_best of Fwiendz]

I think Duncan is glad to be playing with Oberto in stretches.

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

Wonder how JR is feeling right now.

After seeing the way he's played and behaved this series, I'm glad we didn't get him.

[Aggie Hoopsfan]

Duncan getting after it :tu

[VaSpursFan]

that's what i'm talking about...chase AI off the 3 pt line

[CubanMustGo]

AI 2-7 on layups ??

[Aggie Hoopsfan]

Finley again! Damn!

[davemaniscool]

[Gros Membres!]

I need to find a new avi, sorry about that stampler. I just can't resist the look.

[boutons_]

Hot damn, thank you, Cuban!! The gift that keeps on giving! :lol

[Phil]

I can smell the conference semis!!!!

[GrandeDavid]

Fin with his 7th three!!!!!!!!!!

[easjer]

Damn Findog - I take back all the shit I said (and meant) in November through February. I am glad you are on our team. Thanks for all the threes tonight.

Who knew the role of 2003 Steve Kerr would be played by Michael Finley? I guess he got an up close look then, so maybe it makes sense.

[CubanMustGo]

Finley handing Denver their consolation prizes... he has plenty and isnt stingey tonight

http://heronarmoury.co.uk/daggers/daggers.jpg

Ok, but let's not relax now. Still 6 minutes to play. They've got to close this shit out.

[hitmanyr2k]

[ManuTim_best of Fwiendz]

Bowen's reactions make me laugh.

[Ginofan]

Mike's career high in 3s made is 8, I wanna see him break it tonight!

[ATXSPUR]

[TampaDude]

[jackiel1219]

Oberto is hustlin on the boards

[ManuTim_best of Fwiendz]

Oberto is a smart guy

[Aggie Hoopsfan]

Come on Tim. Najera can't guard you.

[hitmanyr2k]

How many times is Iverson going to dive to the floor?

[Spurs Brazil]

Tp!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Aggie Hoopsfan]

What a stupid foul...just gave the Nugs 3 points...

There was no stupid foul, just some bullshit the refs made up.

[Aggie Hoopsfan]

Oh geez, another bullshit call. Come on NBA.

[Jimcs50]

Eva is smokin tonight.

[davemaniscool]

DPOY...my ass.

[Aggie Hoopsfan]

Camby all over TD's back, no foul :rolleyes

[Spurs Brazil]

TD, Spurs up 12

[Aggie Hoopsfan]

Damnit, quit shooting Tony.

[hitmanyr2k]

The Denver bench knows they're going home. They look very disinterested.

[RashoFan]

DPOY...my ass.
I thought the same thing....

[Larry89]

It's almost over Denver.

[Admidave50]

Oberto is the rebounding machine tonight!!

[TampaDude]

Unfuckingbelievable! How did that not go in???

[jackiel1219]

Tony should've milked the clock

[hitmanyr2k]

THe ball don't lie.

[Aggie Hoopsfan]

Defensive three seconds on Tim :lol Just go ahead and let Karl and Stern call the last three minutes.

[easjer]

Please. FUcking bad calls. Must play better through it.

Get it done guys. Keep it together.

[davemaniscool]

Camby is no DPOY. good weakside defender but that's it

[efrem1]

Hold the line guys!!

[VaSpursFan]

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

8/9 3s for Fin. What's the playoff record I wonder?

[L.I.T]

Karl knows how to beg and whine, looks like the Spurs just taught him how to roll-over as well.

[Larry89]

Good Night and Good Bye, Exact Replay of 2005.

[TampaDude]

Parker in to ice it...Spurs up by 15!!!

[ambchang]

I was just thinking Finley's gone mad and shouldn't have shot that, but then booooom!
Go Finley.
Oh my, and Parker is just destroying their defense, cutting through the whole thing.

[Leetonidas]

FINLEY FOR MVP!!! :blah

[Mojazz]

[SpursFanFirst]

Well, I've lost my vbookie for the night, but I don't even care! :clap

[ManuTim_best of Fwiendz]

Barry's funny. Manu got punished for sucking :lol Oberto did a good job today.

[VaSpursFan]

Karl knows how to beg and whine, looks like the Spurs just taught him how to roll-over as well.
:lol :lol :lol :toast

[boutons_]

The rim is 6 ft in diameter for Michael tonight.

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

Up 15, game OVAH baby!

On to meet the Suns. That should be a tremendous series, I say Spurs in 7!

[Tek_XX]

Finley is the new Barry???

what?

[davemaniscool]

Is Karl even coaching anymore or is he on the lake already?

[dbreiden83080]

See ya next year DENVER

[Supergirl]

Under 2 min and we have a 15 point lead. I think it's over. But I'm not relaxing till it's official.

Finley is 8-9 in 3 pointers - isn't 8 3's the record so far? I remember another Spur tied it. Was that Kerr?

[samikeyp]

Hey George....grab your fishing pole and go the fuck home.

[yourtehclay]

Fin!!!

[efrem1]

It's foul-a-rama for the rest of the game, NOT!!!

[Crookshanks]

Denver - it's deja vu all over again!!!!!!!!!!!!

[ManuTim_best of Fwiendz]

TP 14pts 10asts
He can thank Finley for 6 or 7 of those :lol

[davemaniscool]

You sucked as a player and you've carried it into your career

[RashoFan]

Karl knows how to beg and whine, looks like the Spurs just taught him how to roll-over as well.
BWAHAHAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!
:lmao

[easjer]

Let's just finish this bitch.

I want it DONE.


Finish it up right now.

[dbreiden83080]

Where are those Writers from Denver calling this thing over after game 1 NOW??

[TampaDude]

Looking real good right now...but I'll wait until the clock reads 0:00 to celebrate...

[jmard5]

Under 2 min and we have a 15 point lead. I think it's over. But I'm not relaxing till it's official.

Finley is 8-9 in 3 pointers - isn't 8 3's the record so far? I remember another Spur tied it. Was that Kerr?

Bowen has it for 7 3s.

[ManuTim_best of Fwiendz]

This game was a yawner once Finley went into his 3 pt barrage. A good kind of yawner. But was there ever a doubt we wouldn't show up to win today?

[Jimcs50]
