Has American sports ever had a player all at once so great and so unknown? Tim Duncan is the fourth player in NBA history to score 20,000 points, grab 10,000 rebounds, block 2,000 shots and dish off 2,500 assists. What do we really know, though, about Tim Duncan? >> Read More from Sports llustrated's Joe Posnanski

What the hell is it with you people and your obsession to start these threads? You're all weird.

It looks like the guys went out drinking and Tony is trying to get Tim and Manu back to the car w/out the cops catching sight of them.

Timmy and Manu do look out of it in that pic:lol

do we know already if Melo is playing?

Go Spurs Go!!!!

As of right now, he's still questionable.

Anthony out Friday, ankle injury has worsened

Carmelo Anthony (ankle) did not play Friday against the Thunder.

Coach George Karl said that the ankle has worsened since playing in Houston on Wednesday, adding that the ankle had swollen up on the flight to Oklahoma City and that they'll be taking a "wait and see process." This is not good news for his owners, and his status for Sunday's game should be in doubt.

Carmelo is optimistic that he'll play on Sun
Today - 9:10 AM ET
http://www.rotoworld.com/images/photos/NBA/DEN/929.jpg
Carmelo Anthony (sprained ankle) said he is optimistic that he will return to action on Sunday.

"I'm better, much better," Anthony said. "I'm going to try before the game, but it felt good (in practice Saturday). It's the first time that I actually got a chance to run and cut and do a lot of things." The Nuggets have wisely played it very safe with Anthony. Consider him a game-time decision today.

Where's your sense of humor benefactor:lol

I'm gonna start a super ultimate game blog that will make carmelo's ankle explode.

Melo is out. We better get this game.

What's with you guys obsessing over people who obsess over making game blogs? It's just a thread on a message board.

You guys are weird.

if the mods merge this thread I'll start a "Props for the win Nugs" thread :stirpot:

See, it worked.

NuGGeTs-FaN isn't a troll, and he's been here a long time. He opened the blog for a game against his team and he wished our team well. I get superstition and karma, but I don't see the problem here.

Okay guys, I'm heading to lame Nuggetfan blog. Mods already have that one up there since Nuggetfan started it Saturday:lol

Damn that Nuggetfan:p:

We better win:ihit

Let's get this shit.

The guys better play some good D.

Letting a fan of the fvckin nuggets start a holy game blog? You fvckers have no spine.

Here we go!!!

I can't believe I had tickets to this game and couldn't go.:(

Yes, RJ follows up his own miss to hit a 2.

McDyess misses. Kmart with the rebound.

Hill with an aggressive layup. Nice.

4-4

Nene missed. Rj with the rebound. Hill misses.

Hill looks aggressive early. RJ missed the shot. Spurs have missed 5 consecutive shots.

This better not be one of those games where we can't hit shit. :ihit

RJ being aggressive, yes!

Foul on Hill, damn.

What are the refs reviewing?

Great-2 free throws for Billups. They were checking for either a 2 or 3 ft play.

8-6 Denver

the ball movement is there but it is slooooowwww

Everyone looks a little slow.

They are not awake yet.

They need this game. They better wake up real fast.

Ginobili and Bonner in. Duncan banks in a 2.

That was a lame foul on RJ.

Kmart hits another shot.

Yes! Duncan hits his 2 free throws.

Bonner with his first rebound.

Yes! RJ for 3!!!

Manu with a dunk!!

Anyone see the Barkley commercial?:lol

Bonner for 3!!

14-6 run for SA!

"Slow motion fast break" says Hubie:lol

Me thinks they are right. I mean we won't be any real challenge for the Lakers and the Nuggets at full strength will murder us, unless we do something about this awful front court situation.

Aside from Duncan, our best frontcourt player is 6'6. That's a real issue and part of the reason we aren't playing at an elite level.


Pop should take a good long look and Ian.

I don't understand why Finley is getting court time either

agreed... they better come up with energy in the 3rd otherwise we're fucked

Spurs aren't at full strength either, but they need to gel quickly

19-2 Nuggets run

:(

So our guys can't get a whistle, but they give a call to Joey Graham?!..

Now we just need Mason and *swallows* Bonner to make a few shots and we'll be looking good.

Dice jumper is back on

Pop is really gonna have to figure out a way to get the most out of our scoring..

Manu is no longer a dynamic scoring option, but he's a great passer, better than he's ever been in that regard..Pop's gonna have to figure out a way to maximize our weapons..

Afflalo having the game of his life..he's so fucking ugly too..

lol he's WAYYYY better looking than Graham.

It's bad enough that our D sucks, but Denver is making EVERYTHING they're throwing up..

D looks better.. though Afflalo, K-Mart, Billups and JR shitting on our face is not good...
