Spurs @ Nuggets Jan. 3 - Game Blog

[angel_luv]

Gino needs a shave but looks very nice otherwise. :tu :tu

[J.T.]

Trade that POS Duncan, he cant even stay healthy for 10 games.

[angel_luv]

Me too on the career thing - applied for a job on my birthday (yesterday)!

Your attitude to life is commendable.


Happy birthday!

I hope you get the job you applied for. :)

[THE SIXTH MAN]

Martin is a fucking pussy!

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

Uh-oh. Duncan has been abused tonight. Martin is a douche.

[ManuTim_best of Fwiendz]

Hard to tell if it's affecting his free throws, though. :lol :lol
He made one of two. It might have helped him.

[angel_luv]

Rob- where did your shot go?

Bring it back!!!

[THE SIXTH MAN]

I guess traveling is not being called in this game???

[ShoogarBear]

WTF is Denver doing? :lol

[RobSM64]

TD BLOCK!!! :clap

[koopa]

matt bonner!!! that ball goes high in the air when he shoots

[ManuTim_best of Fwiendz]

:lol Denver sucks

[SpursFanFirst]

Trade that POS Duncan, he cant even stay healthy for 10 games.
wait...did you recently change your team to Mavericks? :huh

[ricketts]

The big man is pissed about that reach.

[THE SIXTH MAN]

Bonner boning denver!!

[angel_luv]

Matt Bonner is quickly becoming one of my favorite players.

But maybe I shouldn't say that because D.W. was my new favorite and now he is gone. :(

[mVp]

Nice run

[ManuTim_best of Fwiendz]

Iverson's ballhogging helping us now.

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

Why doesn't TP get more calls?

The announcers:

A) think KMart is the best TD defender in the league (:lmao)
B) think up and down is not Denver's game.

:rolleyes

[ManuTim_best of Fwiendz]

:lol Denver sure has a lot of douches for players

[J.T.]

They're like a giant poisonous spider!

[freemeat]

Huh? Where are you? Have you got a thing for me? :toast :lol

Oh, I see...people are trying to get laid in a Spurs chat-room. Cool.

[duncan228]

Duncan quietly doing his thing.

[ShoogarBear]

Great closeout by Ryan there.

[J.T.]

Trade Duncan for Dirk. Now. I mean it.

[duncan228]

Great closeout by Ryan there.

:lol

I'm listening to them too.

[ManuTim_best of Fwiendz]

I really don't know what to think of this game...like in terms of enjoyability

[ShoogarBear]

Denver should be winning by 30. Karl is an idiot.

Friend!!!!!!!! Hello! :)

[loveforthegame]

Finley with 6 rebounds. That's good to see.

[bigfundamental21]

A lot better effort now from the Spurs. Let's keep it going in the 4th

I think duncan is getting pissed off by the physical play. duncan pissed=win

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

Oh, I see...people are trying to get laid in a Spurs chat-room. Cool.

Ah, no.

Given that I'm 15,000 miles away, unlikely. :lmao

[koopa]

we are on a 13-2 run and are barely up by 2

[duncan228]

Duncan messing with his thumb on the bench.

[ManuTim_best of Fwiendz]

Spurs couldn't afford to play this bad against a good team. Denver really sucks

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

Who put their money on a 2pt or less margin? I did, and I think it was a good bet the way this game is panning out...

[thekingrobert]

they have 10 more rebounds than us camby is swallowing them all

[RobSM64]

TO-fest in Denver....

[ShoogarBear]

LMAO @ JV getting a star call.

[marini martini]

Huh? Where are you? Have you got a thing for me? :toast :lol

Naw, just want to walk down Wurzbach, with you, next time you're in town :toast

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

Kleiza is always horrible against us. What's that about?

[koopa]

owa, an hour late call, fucking bullshit.......good call, but still bullshit

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

Naw, just want to walk down Wurzbach, with you, next time you're in town :toast

You're on! :toast :lol

[BeerIsGood!]

The Nuggets are the most undisciplined NBA team I've seen. The shot selection is horrible and the bigs all hack constantly and take cheap fouls when they could easily force tough shots. Karl is doing absolutely nothing with a lot of talent because he has no discipline.

[BeerIsGood!]

Kleiza is always horrible.

[koopa]

fucking vaughn is a bum ass hoe

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

Camby yelled "my arm", then they blew the whistle.

This is a terrible game to watch.

[duncan228]

End of 3.
60-59 Nuggets

[ManuTim_best of Fwiendz]

That Iverson player is pretty good.
Way better than that Vaughn guy taking the last shot.

[THE SIXTH MAN]

The Nuggets are the most undisciplined NBA team I've seen. The shot selection is horrible and the bigs all hack constantly and take cheap fouls when they could easily force tough shots. Karl is doing absolutely nothing with a lot of talent because he has no discipline.
How the dude stays employed is beyond me. Him and Dantoni are god awful coaches.

[freemeat]

Ah, no.

Given that I'm 15,000 miles away, unlikely. :lmao

It's really cool, though... :fro

I never criticize another man's approach, so have fun! :toast

Go get 'em, tiger! :clap

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

Nah, Kleiza can play a bit, just not against us.

[Ice009]

Crap finish to the quarter again. Everyone in the building knew Jaque was going to shoot that last shot. I knew it was the wrong play before he even thought about shooting it. Jaque man pass the balll to someone who can shoot. F.uck.

[m33p0]

somehow, i feel that the spurs are just trying to get by.

[loveforthegame]

Going to need Duncan and Parker in top form for this 4th quarter. Fin hasn't taken many shots so no telling what he'll bring. Love Bonner's energy.

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

It's really cool, though... :fro

I never criticize another man's approach, so have fun! :toast

Go get 'em, tiger! :clap

Cheers mate. :toast :lol

For any cricket fans, Tendulkar just got his century. India 7/413.

[NuGGeTs-FaN]

that bulls-blazers game is a fun game :lol

[bigfundamental21]

Hopefully, Duncan's hand is okay. He has been getting slapped and hacked all night. Right before he went out, Nene hacked him on the hand and Duncan looked over at the ref.

The crowd is quiet in denver. there was one point when Carmelo was at the line and I heard someone yell out... GO SPURS! It was great.

[ManuTim_best of Fwiendz]

:lol Manu looks mad

[mVp]

Crap finish to the quarter again. Everyone in the building knew Jaque was going to shoot that last shot. I knew it was the wrong play before he even thought about shooting it. Jaque man pass the balll to someone who can shoot. F.uck.

Vaughn sucks. Period.

[bigfundamental21]

:lol Manu looks mad

He wants to play! :ihit

[SpursDynasty]

Matt Bonner is quickly becoming one of my favorite players.

But maybe I shouldn't say that because D.W. was my new favorite and now he is gone. :(

[THE SIXTH MAN]

Udoka with some good D on Anthony!

Naw, just want to walk down Wurzbach, with you, next time you're in town :toast


ANNNNDDDD!!! ----- SCORE!

N7r1hvvnnc4

[duncan228]

Tempers brewing.

[Ice009]

NO FOUL THERE. NO THREE POINT PLAY. load of shite

[Supergirl]

Is it just me or do the Spurs get more so-called "loose ball fouls" called against them than any other fricking team in the NBA?

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

Announcers were just congratulating Nene for elbowing Bowen and getting away with it.

These guys really are SCUM. :pctoss

[Supergirl]

Denver is a bunch of punks.

[SpursFanFirst]

ANNNNDDDD!!! ----- SCORE!

N7r1hvvnnc4


:lol

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

Ticky tack being called now due to impending violence...

[ManuTim_best of Fwiendz]

:lol Denver plays so moronically. So many stupid fouls. Stupid turnovers

[RobSM64]

damn this game is ugly.... :bang

[Budkin]

Nuggets starting to pull away?

[Ice009]

Spurs suck with out Duncan out there.

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

TP hardly getting any calls this year. WTF?

[angel_luv]

You are my favorite poster


Thanks... unless you are hoping Kori and L.J. will cut me like the Spurs cut Washington. :lol

[freemeat]

Who do I have to give this $1000 to? I bet on the Spurs to win.

[ShoogarBear]

Sea 22 Phx 9 in the first?

[bigfundamental21]

There may be a fight before this game is over with all the cheap shots going on.

[NuGGeTs-FaN]

has the world gone crazy? Big Ben is hitting Clutch ft's now :drunk

[bigfundamental21]

Sea 22 Phx 9 in the first?
Are you serious? :spin

[Ice009]

Get Duncan back out there NOW Pop. WTF are u waiting for?

[Ice009]

TP u suck man. STEP IT UP MAN. I KNOW U CAN DO IT.

[Budkin]

1 point this quarter? Jesus?

[Ice009]

I LOVE Udoka's physical defense on Carmello :)

[ShoogarBear]

What a stupid foul by Carmelo.

[angel_luv]

All right Spurs.

Let's get this win.

[spyder]

sweet

[phyzik]

r u serius!

[angel_luv]

Thank you Finley.

[phyzik]

to the house!

[angel_luv]

Timothy Theodore. This is not the all star game. No circus passes please.

[koopa]

sloppiest game i've seen in awhile

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

The Denver players are DUMB. They do so many stupid, ill-disciplined things.

[ManuTim_best of Fwiendz]

:lmao morons

[RobSM64]

is it just me or is this game is going slow.....?

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

They should settle this game in a boxing ring.

Awful to watch.

[Cherry]

Sea 22 Phx 9 in the first?

SEA 28 PHX 11? crazy :dizzy

[freemeat]

Yeah, I mowed a lot of lawns last summer to get $1,150. I shouldn't have bet $1,000 on tonight's game.

[duncan228]

Is there a chance we could see some of our Championship poise and pull this ugly thing out?

[Supergirl]

i know yahoo is slower than molasses

[BeerIsGood!]

were the Nuggets annoucers just trying to count 3 seconds while the tape was in slo-mo?

[spyder]

yea finley

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

Melo is officially my least favourite star player. He's a moron, he's herky-jerky, and he thinks he's much better than he actually is.

OTOH, I like Nene - tough, hard, defends well one on one.

[BeerIsGood!]

Duncan looks like shit. Parker looks like shit. Finley is golden. Is this the f'n twilight zone?

[koopa]

were the Nuggets annoucers just trying to count 3 seconds while the tape was in slo-mo?

lmao, i guess after all this talk about the nuggest announcers i guess i'm lucky to get to here this boring ass silver stars coach commentating

[mVp]

Finley's hot :spin

[ShoogarBear]

Sea 33 Phx 13 at the end of one.

[NuGGeTs-FaN]

Nene will be a beast when he gets his legs back and gets into good shape. The frontcourt of the Nuggets can do some damage if healthy.

[ManuTim_best of Fwiendz]

I take it back. It's the Spurs game to lose against a team this stupid.

[freemeat]

Who's drunk!?

[koopa]

Duncan looks like shit. Parker looks like shit. Finley is golden. Is this the f'n twilight zone?

no it's the first game in January so it's kind of hard for them to care when it's this early in the season

[BeerIsGood!]

They should settle this game in a boxing ring.

Awful to watch.

shhh... don't say that or those whiny little MMA jerkoffs will come in here and ruin the thread...

[RobSM64]

Sea 33 Phx 13 at the end of one.


WTFux? :dizzy

[bigfundamental21]

We need to shut down AI.

[fred33]

Duncan looks like shit. Parker looks like shit. Finley is golden. Is this the f'n twilight zone?

parker make his game

[loveforthegame]

Finley stepping up in the 4th. Don't want to jinx him but he's looking at this 3rd straight game of 20 points or more. 7 rebounds and that's just as impressive.

[NuGGeTs-FaN]

The Denver players are DUMB. They do so many stupid, ill-disciplined things.


uh huh and it starts the coaching staff. I wish we had some high IQ players and i cant wait for the day we do

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

were the Nuggets annoucers just trying to count 3 seconds while the tape was in slo-mo?

Yup, they're all class. :rolleyes

[spyder]

finley's on my fantasy team :elephant

[ca®lo]

here we go

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

uh huh and it starts the coaching staff. I wish we had some high IQ players and i cant wait for the day we do

Yeah, must be frustrating for you.

[angel_luv]

This is our win Spurs.

I want it. Go get it. :)

[SpursFanFirst]

Sea 33 Phx 13 at the end of one.

I'm shocked over this game. When I saw it in the lineup this afternoon, I thought this was an e-a-s-y win for Phoenix!

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

Cmon SPurs, dig it out.

[angel_luv]

Good D Tony!

[ludda]

20 point lead over phx is really like a 5 point lead. nevertheless, thats some funny shit and Barbosa with 3 fouls already in the 1st quarter!

we can pull this one out.

[RobSM64]

Good D Tony!


hell yes! :clap

[koopa]

fucking tony, hit those free throws

[angel_luv]

Out hustled on that play. Boo!

[ShoogarBear]

I'm shocked over this game. When I saw it in the lineup this afternoon, I thought this was an e-a-s-y win for Phoenix!It gets even worse. According to yahoo the Suns were 4/20 (20%) from the floor, with ZERO assists and 5 turnovers.

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

Perfect example of Nuggets' brainlessness over possessions since timeout.

[NuGGeTs-FaN]

good win for you guys :lol Im giving up on GK AGAIN :smokin The dude couldnt coach a varsity team

[mVp]

Damn FT's

[thekingrobert]

TP is blowing this game

[koopa]

that logo in the middle of the nuggets court is gay

[mVp]

Ok, give the ball to TD and GTFO!

[thekingrobert]

6-17 come on you're better than that

[ShoogarBear]

good win for you guys :lol Im giving up on GK AGAIN :smokin The dude couldnt coach a varsity teamIt ain't over yet, but if the Spurs win this game I'm gonna laugh my ass off.

[bigfundamental21]

C'mon Spurs, let's take this win!

[BeerIsGood!]

The Nuggets have a hell of a frontcourt assembled, but their guards suck and the entire team is undisciplined. I'd love to have Camby line up next to TD with Nene coming off the bench for the Spurs. That's a hell of a front court.

[thekingrobert]

its still a game

[ca®lo]

time to play D spurs! lets go!

[ShoogarBear]

Kenyon Martin taking clutch shots. :smokin

[txstr1986]

This game is the Spurs to lose.

[ca®lo]

Nice Play!!!!!

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

This Nuggets team will NEVER win a trophy, they are too stupid. Last three Spurs possessions led to two TD layups as 3 players swarmed Parker, and the two missed FTs to Parker. On offence they took 2 poor jumpshots and got a putback off Melo shoving Duncan.

Dumbest team in the league, they just make BAD DECISIONS.

[ShoogarBear]

Oh, that was sweet.

[ca®lo]

fucking carter

[ShoogarBear]

Anthony Carter hits a 3. :dizzy

[duncan228]

Fuck

[SpursFanFirst]

It gets even worse. According to yahoo the Suns were 4/20 (20%) from the floor, with ZERO assists and 5 turnovers.

:lol what in the world?

[ca®lo]

lets go spurs take it easy you guys can win this!

[koopa]

fucking tony parker trying to be the fucking hero lost us this game

[ca®lo]

Wtf Bruce!!!!!!!!

[koopa]

and they wait an hour to foul

[freemeat]

what the fuck?

[RobSM64]

:bang

[mVp]

This is a nightmare...

[ca®lo]

damn

[NuGGeTs-FaN]

wow that was totally unexpected :lol Plenty of time left though

[spyder]

damn spurs

[SpursDynasty]

The Nuggets are just hitting a few lucky shots here and there, no skill required for that kind of thing to happen.

[Ice009]

WHAT A MONUMENTAL CHOKE JOB. FIRE CHIP.

TP's 2 missed free throws cost us! Is anyone on this board not worried about Parker's pathetic free throw shooting. I've been saying it for the last few games. PARKER HAS TO HIT HIS FREE THROWS.

[SpursFanFirst]

is there really :06 left, or is the scoreboard behind?

[boutons_]

Tim 4 TOs, including the game losing TO, dribbling around in a double team.
And how many times was he blocked?

[BeerIsGood!]

Horrible game by the Spurs capped by a horrible mistake in not fouling early when there is only a 2 second differential between shot and game clock. Very uncharacteristic and a horrible game the Spurs deserve to lose. I hope they stew on this pathetic performance.

[DazedAndConfused]

Tony still doesn't look close to 100%

[dbreiden83080]

Fucking choked this one away.

[freemeat]

Now who do I have to pay this money to? I have a check here for $1,000. Where should I send it?

[loveforthegame]

Pitiful. We were up 4 points with a stupid turnover and allow Atkins to hit a 3 pointer. Even more confusing is why you wait that long to foul.

Bonner has the play drawn up for the 3 to tie.

[fred33]

fucking tony parker trying to be the fucking hero lost us this game

he has taken his rebound bowen has shootes too quickly

[angel_luv]

Come on Boys!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[koopa]

the fuck?? bonner, you should've have just taken the shot, don't be a pussy, even though the dude was right on top of him

[peskypesky]

ouch

[ShoogarBear]

Pissed that away. But they never deserved to win it to begin with.

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

Bloody Anthony Carter. He never played like that for us! :lol

Bad loss. Whatever. Bring back the bench scoring!

[Obstructed_View]

Horrible game by the Spurs capped by a horrible mistake in not fouling early when there is only a 2 second differential between shot and game clock. Very uncharacteristic and a horrible game the Spurs deserve to lose. I hope they stew on this pathetic performance.
They have time to set up a play. Doesn't seem like that big a deal. It might have been nice to foul before Iverson got the ball, though.

[ManuTim_best of Fwiendz]

Oh welll :depressed

[angel_luv]

Oh man!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

This is what I stayed awake for? Boo!!!!!!!!!!

[SpursFanFirst]

:(

[duncan228]

Well, that ends my shitty day.

[boutons_]

fucking sucks. spurs folded in crunch time, having sorta fucked around all game.

[dbreiden83080]

AHH, what a shitty fucking loss, come on Spurs, you guys are better than that, even without Manu.

[vander]

oh well :depressed

[ManuTim_best of Fwiendz]

Pissed that away. But they never deserved to win it to begin with.
Neither team did :lol

[SpursDynasty]

High point of the season for Denver - Fluke win.

Go Seattle!

[mVp]

Game over...

[cnyc3]

good work spurs.. get the L's out the way now

[NuGGeTs-FaN]

wow........Nuggets win. Im shocking :lol

An ex-spur pulls it out

[koopa]

i'd be mad right now, but it's january and manu didn't play so it's hard to be upset

[NuGGeTs-FaN]

Neither team did :lol


exactly.........both teams played like crap

[loveforthegame]

Did Fin have a good look?

[Obstructed_View]

wow........Nuggets win. Im shocking :lol

An ex-spur pulls it out
Well, sort of. It's not like he actually played.

[dbreiden83080]

Well, that ends my shitty day.

Yeah me too, work sucked today and now i get too go to bed after the Spurs choked one away in crunch time. :pctoss

[urunobili]

fuck that ill advised three point attemp

[ca®lo]

oh well. its not like the spurs played monumental basketball anyway.

on to the next one!

at least tim made a half court shot ;) in .4 sec!

[Amarelooms]

exactly.........both teams played like crap

both teams played hard :elephant

[NuGGeTs-FaN]

Well, sort of. It's not like he actually played.


true......

Pop should have played his newest ex-nugget. He would have shut AI down :fro

[angel_luv]

Oh well. Next!

Hey, Malik is in town. :D

[urunobili]

Did Fin have a good look?
fuck no :pctoss

[ShoogarBear]

Anthony Carter is a lifetime 14% three-point shooter.

[td4mvp21]

Fuck!!!!! We had this game too. Fucking December and January, my least favorite Spurs months.

[bigfundamental21]

Well, that ends my shitty day.
Sorry, duncan228, I really thought we were in a position to win it for you when we were up by 4. But don't worry, we live to play another day.

[BeerIsGood!]

They have time to set up a play. Doesn't seem like that big a deal. It might have been nice to foul before Iverson got the ball, though.

I knew it was over. The Spurs have three guys who could hit that crunch 3 - Manu, Barry, and Horry. Two are injured and the other hasn't hit a shot all season. The writing was on the wall after they waited so long to foul and fouled Iverson.

[spyder]

:bang :bang :depressed :depressed :pctoss :pctoss

[boutons_]

nuggs played physical, and Spurs pussied around.

[duncan228]

Tim 4 TOs, including the game losing TO, dribbling around in a double team.
And how many times was he blocked?

5, I think.

[SpursFanFirst]

Seattle is down to a 12 point lead.

[Mr.Bottomtooth]

Per SpursDynasty, our shots just didn't go down and we just didn't get into a rhythm.

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

Well, that sucked. Games are always so ugly against Denver. That one reminds me of game 1 2007 playoffs.

I'm off for a beer. Cheers to all!

[Ice009]

patheic choke job in crunch time Parker and Duncan awful in the last 2 minutes of the game. I was screaming no threes and they leave Carter wide open. what crap!

[meta2007]

The spurs need Manu's clutch play!

[ludda]

Seattle is down to a 12 point lead.

they're taking too many fucking jumpers, they should pound it inside, whos going to stop them? Amare??

Anyways UGLY GAME.

[peskypesky]

not a bad loss IMO
no Manu, no Barry and Horry still out of shape, yet we were still in it til the very end

[Amarelooms]

Would you agree that both teams played hard?

[ShoogarBear]

patheic choke job in crunch time Parker and Duncan awful in the last 2 minutes of the game. I was screaming no threes and they leave Carter wide open. what crap!
Anthony Carter is a lifetime 14% three-point shooter.

[koopa]

i've seen two games where sean elliot didn't commentate and we are 0-2........ellite stop being a pussy and call cold weather games lol

[peskypesky]

patheic choke job in crunch time Parker and Duncan awful in the last 2 minutes of the game. I was screaming no threes and they leave Carter wide open. what crap!

if Carter is a sucky 3pt shooter, you WANT him to take that shot.

[Ice009]

Spurs have now got to be 4-6 in our last 10 games. NOW GOOD AT ALL, not even .500 ball. We're playing like chumps.

[NuGGeTs-FaN]

Well, that sucked. Games are always so ugly against Denver. That one reminds me of game 1 2007 playoffs.

I'm off for a beer. Cheers to all!

it suits the Nuggets to start but then the Spurs adjust and shut them down.

Nene is X factor vs the Spurs if the Nuggets ever expect to get anywhere

[meta2007]

I just heard AI's son had an accident. Does anyone know what it is?

[duncan228]

Sorry, duncan228, I really thought we were in a position to win it for you when we were up by 4. But don't worry, we live to play another day.

I won't lose any sleep over it.
They played like shit, it would have been a shock if they pulled it out.

What I don't like is that it was a Duncan TO that turned it the wrong way at the end. Watching him play bad is hard for me.

[freemeat]

This is like worse than Ann Coulter!

[Ice009]

if Carter is a sucky 3pt shooter, you WANT him to take that shot.


No YOU DO NOT. you do not want wide open threees by anyone with the game on the line. I would have had no problem giving up and open two to Carter, but not an open three with a 4 point lead. No way.

[koopa]

Spurs have now got to be 4-6 in our last 10 games. NOW GOOD AT ALL, not even .500 ball. We're playing like chumps.

you do realize we've been dealing with injuries to key players right??

[Josepatches]

Tim 4 TOs, including the game losing TO, dribbling around in a double team.
And how many times was he blocked?

Not more than TP with 7.
TD is the only guy that can get a fucking rebound in the team.48-35 to Nuggets but maybe 30-0 when TD was in the bench.That was the key.

[ManuTim_best of Fwiendz]

patheic choke job in crunch time Parker and Duncan awful in the last 2 minutes of the game. I was screaming no threes and they leave Carter wide open. what crap!
Parker was blocked like a million times..

then Duncan decided to join the parade and get a closing minute block on himself. Too much isolation and overdribbling by the guys. But can't knock them too much, Manu woulda helped in this game.



not a bad loss IMO
no Manu, no Barry and Horry still out of shape, yet we were still in it til the very end

I still consider it a pretty bad loss. Although nothing to be upset over in January.

The game being close had more to do with Denver's mindless turnovers and fouls and less to do with Spurs doing a good job and scrapping together in the second half.

[SpursFan0728]

No YOU DO NOT. you do not want wide open threees by anyone with the game on the line. I would have had no problem giving up and open two to Carter, but not an open three with a 4 point lead. No way.
you don't make sense at all...??
the chance of carter hitting a three is WAY less of a chance then hitting a two..

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

it suits the Nuggets to start but then the Spurs adjust and shut them down.

Nene is X factor vs the Spurs if the Nuggets ever expect to get anywhere

True dat. he defends Duncan very well.

They'll always have trouble in a 7 game series as long as they make such poor decisions though.

[AFBlue]

IMO, the decision to start Horry killed this team from the outset. The Spurs started off flat-footed and got themselves into a big hole quickly.

Granted, they were able to close the gap, but it's the principle of the situation....they had good/great success starting Oberto alongside Duncan. So why mess with it?

I guess that if you were to try to "jumpstart" Horry, this would be the time...but I still didn't like the move.

Bottom Line: Let Horry be what he is....sixth man, energy guy, clutch player....not the starter.

[freemeat]

Time to get really drunk, watch Sleepless In Seattle and cry myself to sleep (where I most likely will wake in a pool of urine)...

[Ice009]

you do realize we've been dealing with injuries to key players right??


Yeah sorry man, I was going to write that injuries have played a key part in it ;)

Still I hate seeing 4-6 in a 10 game stetch, absolutely hate it.

mental lapses cost the game for the spurs down the stretch. they allowed the physical game by denver's big men to get into their heads. it was quite winnable with still a minute left. :bang

[peskypesky]

No YOU DO NOT. you do not want wide open threees by anyone with the game on the line. I would have had no problem giving up and open two to Carter, but not an open three with a 4 point lead. No way.

I'm fine with it. It was a very lucky shot by a very poor 3pt shooter. That's not what lost them the game.

Nice choke by the Spurs. Duncan and the low post turnovers have got to stop...

[meta2007]

The spurs played good D, but they really need Manu and Barry on the offense end. Moreover, they need Manu's clutch play.

That was the best I've seen him defended in a LONG time. You have to be impressed with the post defense that Denver exhibited....to include the shot-blocking in the paint.

[planaria]

it suits the Nuggets to start but then the Spurs adjust and shut them down.

Nene is X factor vs the Spurs if the Nuggets ever expect to get anywhere

Agreed. Duncan always seems a bit bothered when guarded by Nenê. Plus, Nenê blocks Duncan as anyone usually does.

[NugzFan]

good game.

4-6 in Last10

This is stretch is starting out like Dec-Feb of last year, 13-12.

you don't make sense at all...??
the chance of carter hitting a three is WAY less of a chance then hitting a two..


Look man most NBA players especially guards can hit a wide open 3. With a 4 point lead I do not want anyone left open on the perimeter unless it's the other teams center.

In that situation I would have much rather they had an open 2 and if they hit we still have a two point lead. The game would have been tied and Bruce wouldn't have had to commit the foul on AI and let the Nuggets get a three point lead. That makes a huge difference. I am talking about the situation the Spurs were in tonight. If it was a five or 6 point game then yes I might take my chances and leave Carter open, not in a 4 point game though.

[SpursFanFirst]

they're taking too many fucking jumpers, they should pound it inside, whos going to stop them? Amare??

Anyways UGLY GAME.

Oh my...I looked away for a few minutes, and when I looked back, it was a 2-point game.

You're really misusing the term "choke". This was not a choke by the Spurs in ANY way. Do you even know what that term means? :pctoss

with the sheer number of big men that they can throw at TD, they can pretty much do that to anybody.

who cares? I hope to be wrong but i'm sure Suns will win

[peskypesky]

Choke - An act in which a team or a person collaspe when they are expected to win no matter what the other team does.

[Vinny Del Negro]

Duncan played a pretty terrible game. No adjustments to their defense, slow decisions, bouncing the ball off his foot, etc.

Parker decided to wait 2.5 quarters before trying. Finley and Bonner are the only ones who brought their game all night.

Our defense was outstanding for 46:30. However, in basketball, the object is to outscore your opponent, so we failed. Fuck.

[NuGGeTs-FaN]

14 blocked shots by Denver

People think they suck on D when they look at points against but they are something like 4th in defensive efficiency per 100 possessions. Its their offense that is letting them down this season
