Game Thread: Spurs @ Nuggets - Dec. 18 @ 8:00 PM CST

Despite the rough stretch I still feel optimistic for this team. Sjax is back now and Kawhi and Manu's return should be around the corner (hopefully by Saturday against the Pelicans).


I'm predicting an 8 point win for the Spurs with a nice game from Parker and Neal.

:flag:

oh, and no more injuries :lol

OMG, are u kidding me? Another Spurs player injured in 3, 2, 1...

If someone gets injured tonight, I will eat crow and become a member of the Church of ADS Game Blog Injury.

Kawhi still out.

Manu is playing?? wow surprised. Guess it wasn't even serious

Nothing like a game in Denver to get Manu untracked. I doubt he plays more than 20 minutes, though.

Mountain Time Zone.

About to be back to back losses imo

Who's the dumbass doing the pregame? Just called Manu "mano" and said Tiago was from Germany.

anyone know what the HD FSSW channel is on Time warner?

Spurs will win this one for sure. Hungry for a win after last nights utter failure.

Nuggets call on ILP

hopefully not as painful yesterday, started watching in the third and saw 2 field goals for the quarter

Denver's barely a playoff team. Even first half, Spurs' subs break it open at the end of 3/beginning of 4, win by double digits.

We got this.

Gary Neal is worthless tbh.

They also played like 18 road games...

Nice, Splittar.

Tiago is balling lately.

Coach's confidence would do that to you.

Nice travel by splitter

Nuggets will easily make the playoffs. Have a pretty good shot at fifth seed.

Sure, bust pussy white Gallo in the nose. Where was that against Abaka last night?

WTF Tony? wtf?

Neal is a way better playmaker than Green tbh.

That's like being the tallest midget.

Kobe Neal - Out-hustled, outplayed.

That Bowen guy was a horrible playmaker too, should never have played for us.

Green can't play consistently good D tho.

I miss Leonard.

Twin towers baby!

TIMMY with the steal!!

Timmy!!!!!!!!

He's 25. You had never heard of Bowen when he was 25.

Neal with a no, no, no, no ... good shot!

Neal strokin' it.

Kobe Neal ... smh.

Denver hitting some bullshit shots.

Neal with the 3

Manu back after the break.

No charge...??!

If 1/3 is stroking it, then okay.

OP Spurs play the hornets on FRIDAY.

:flag::flag:

Splitter is playing A+ ball tbh.

Hot damn, I didn't realize Manu was going to be back tonight! :)

That Galanari plays pretty good. Always liked him.

Good start by Tiago and TD

Can't wait until Leonard gets back. Neal's good and all but it feels like he's playing a touch too much.

Ya Denver frontcourt not great

Splitter ballin!

Tiago is the best big we've had beside Timmy since the Admiral. Not that that's saying much...

Tiago Splitter Bowen.

WoW Splitter!!

Danny Green in the paint is facepalm

God damn the Nuggets are playing ugly ball. Throw it at the hoop and hope.

REALLY LIKING STARTER SPLITTER!! He's looking great out there!

Of course Duncan makes his jumpers tonight.

TIMMY

Oooo Tony!

TIAGO BLOCK!

Twin towers defense :cry

Tiago should get some MVP chants when we get back to San Antone. :lol

Thank goodness for Splitter.

Anyone know Parkers 3 point % this year. Either hes taking more or they are up.

:lol Manu using Faried's athleticism against him.

Manu might be the best 6th man playmaker in NBA history. Dude can do it all.

Idiots that want Manu gotten rid of make me sick. Manu with the BLOCK!

Maybe we should get a hand in their face on those jumpers?

:lol what an awesome block by Manu. Just gotta get his shot going now...

Manu rushing shots when there's no need for it.

In the corner he's money.

I was gonna flip my shit if they called that a charge.

Good start for TD/TS/TP

Tony and one!

Time for Nando to come in!

:flag:

Diaw and Bonner? :(

Except for his shot, Manu's playing pretty well so far. Great activity from TD, TP and Tiago, too.

Tiago looking good as a starter. If only 1 of the Killer B's : Bonner, Bllair or Boris, steps up we'll be okay going forward.

We don't have many options tbh...

How come every phony LP Broadcast is not Spurs announcers?

Splitter stringing together multiple solid starts. I can't remember him being this consistent, game-to-game, this season

Enter Bonner and Diaw. Instantly give up two offensive rebounds :pctoss



Pop has to pull out Splitter or Duncan early so he can always have a center on the court.

Pop should work a way to play a three bigmen rotation of Tiago, Boris and Duncan (plus some smallball here and there).

Rebound maybe? Just a suggestion.

What's with the weird rotations, Pop?

De Colooooooooo.

Diaw/Bonner combo can't rebound

Players are hurt. Pop is just trying to keep his guys going.

This lineup highly suspect....
