9, 9, and 5 are the Spurs' margins of defeat so far. This game is a prime candidate to be the first though...

Advanced Scouting: San Antonio Spurs at Denver Nuggets

With Splitter likely out, Duncan playing over 30 minutes last night, the thin air and the fact that the Nuggets don't have a big, bruising, low post oriented PF, look for Udoka to play decent minutes in this one. I expect him to guard Anthony when Jefferson doesn't, because obviously Ginobili and Hill have no chance against him.

The trickle down effect is Neal will probably play sparingly. I don't think we'll see a lot of pairings between Duncan-Blair-McDyess. Instead, I think we'll see a lot of one of them at C and either Bonner, Jefferson or potentially even Udoka, at PF.

I'd prefer the Spurs stay big and pound the Nuggets down low and on the glass, as they only really have one quality true big, Nene. But knowing how Pop operates, he'll be thrilled to play smaller, more perimeter oriented lineups.

Great analysis TD21 :toast

You should have pre-game and post-game write ups. You'd have one fan that's for sure.:toast

Thanks.

Unfortunately, I don't have the time to do that. If I did, what purpose would timvp serve? :lol

I think Tony goes off for 25-30 tonight because the Nuggets don't play defense, and Manu will likely be in that range as well. I would like to see Hill have a great game, and the Spurs have done well on B2B all year.

I think the Spurs will win tonight. Remember they put a home loss on the Hornets, quite handily as well.
