Spurs vs. Nuggets Series Recap - Grades

Giving Bowen a B+ is rediculous considering what he was asked to do...

you obviously watched the games. if i'm not mistaken, oberto played almost all of the fourth tonight, which he really hasn't all year. that's how well he was playing.

Fabricio also had an uncanny way of being at the right place at the right time. those offensive boards he got for us in game 4 were huge. maybe the man can't jump, but i think he played with a big (and hopefully healthy) heart in this series. Horry was just in Horry mode and there are really not enough epithets to go around with a guy like him.

tony, :toast, thanks for keeping AI on a cooler and being extremely humble about it.

I really don't think it is about "uncanny ways" as much as it is about experience. The FO has been saying this about Oberto ever since he joined the Spurs.

Remember, just because he is fairly new to the NBA doesn't mean he hasn't played in plenty of BIG games before.

It has more to do with his BB IQ, than uncanny ways.

finley and oberto were very important for the spurs in this serie

I'm really impressed by what Spurs have done as a team.
Winning 4-1 against Nuggets while the big 3 has not been that great is awesome.

props to Jacque, Horry, Finley, and Oberto. They were just awesome at just the right time.


on another note, I just can't stand when the other team doesn't admit their defeat. Especially when it ends up 4-1.

JackAss of the Series goes to Marcus "Crustache" Camby

"It turned out that way with the series being over 4-1, but as for the level of play, I can't really say they're a better team than us," Denver's Marcus Camby said. "Each game was close and could have been flip-flopped to our advantage. I still feel confident in our team and what we can build here."


Stay Classy Denver! Melo, leave your weed at home when flying.
