Round 1, Game 1: Spurs vs Nuggets Official Game Blog Thread

I would rather watch these two teams over _allas or Hoenix anyday

golden st warriors my friend

[ShoogarBear]

Damn...everyone es about my boys in Detroit not putting the ball in the bucket and they're the only team to hit for 100 thusfar.

Yeah, playing the worst team in the playoffs.

[theMUHMEshow]

We didn't start getting smoked on the offensive glass until Pop pulled Elson and went with his 'old faithful' lineup of Parker, Manu, Bowen, Horry, and Duncan.

No kidding.

[Supergirl]

AI was 0-for-6 in the first quarter. He was bound to start scoring at some point. He's not one of the league's leading scorers for nothing.

They need to have Bowen guard AI and put Finley on Carmelo to start the second half.

Interesting idea, But I think Anthony would be too much for Fin. Whereas, I think they should just switch when Manu comes in and have Manu on AI, and Bowen on Anthony. If they're both in they might do better to try Elson, Duncan, or Oberto on Anthony, rather than Fin or Manu, or seem like they're just too small.

I hope Elson is coming back in the 2nd half?

[T Park]

Whats the score right now.

Is it 44-42 at the half?

[ducks]

My favorite play of the half was Parker coming down, dribbling around, going into the lane, getting blocked by Camby, gets his rebound, looks off Duncan, goes into the lane again, spins around Blake, gets stuffed by Camby.

No other Spur touched the ball. What the Tony?

yeah driving is bad

again tp is the only one getting called out when manu and duncan both sucky as bad
td shooting off ballance jumpshots
stupid

[easjer]

Talk about ing frustrating to watch.

7 for 33.

me.

At least, as SFIE said, it can't get worse.

At least the defense and bench are keeping it tight, but AI is giving us more trouble than I anticipated. Man, it is damn near agonizing to watch a ing playoff game.

golden st warriors my friend

I am pulling for you guys..I ing hate _allas

[aaronstampler]

We shot 10% better in the 2nd qtr than the first. Hopefully we can keep that trend going.

For all the offensive rebound concerns, we have two more than they do, 10-8. The big three will not shoot 7-33 in the second half. I like our chances.

[T Park]

he had to pull Elson, he had 2 friggen fouls.

[theMUHMEshow]

Yeah, playing the worst team in the playoffs.

lol... I know

[boutons_]

when was the last time, if ever, all of Spurs big 3 failed to have 10 pts in first half?

would you leave elson in with his 2 fouls

[Kori Ellis]

Ehhh...Kori? Did you see what Ivo did to Bowen in the first 6 minutes of the game? Bruce Bruce had 2 fouls in no time.

Iverson had two points, one assist and was 0-for-6 in the first quarter.

[ShoogarBear]

Another part of the bright side: it's a Salvatore-Nies game but well-officiated so far.

[ALVAREZ6]

the refs have been good

Don't jinx us.


From what I recall, Salvatore and Nies are reffing this , so anything can still happen.

[T Park]

Elson has got to get his head in the game better, and at least attempt at rebounding, with Nene not kicking his ass.

Nene and camby got him out of the game quick.

Shame Tim wont upfake nene and camby and get THEM out.

[davemaniscool]

Ahhhhh NOT Salvatore!

[ducks]

agree this is unreal
finley and oberta making up for it so far

[theMUHMEshow]

Iverson had two points, one assist and was 0-for-6 in the first quarter.

Didnt you see what he did for the offense?

He created openings for Melo and NENE on the glass. He got Bowen into foul trouble. and look at the attention he drew from his shots...and notice the score when Bowen was on him apposed to your other options.

[ALVAREZ6]

I forgot that the Spurs get assraped on defensive boards before this game.


Back to reality.




.

[theMUHMEshow]

the refs have been good

I think so too

[aaronstampler]

we need to get to the line more. 4 attempts in one half ain't gonna cut it.

[GrandeDavid]

what?

I'm glad I'm not watching it! I'm only passively following it online from tha crib in Berzille.

It's too bad that Elson has the same laid back demeanor as Nasho since he's pretty athletic.
