Game Blog: Spurs vs. Nuggets - Jan. 7

[DPG21920]

Well its pointless to argue because neither of us can actually prove it conclusively one way or another. We'll see in a couple of months. If TP's play hasn't improved your case will be much stronger.

If players around TP continue to play well it should make his job much easier right now. Opposing teams are likely coming in and keying on him since they don't have Manu to worry about now and Tim isn't the force he once was so that may be a factor as well. There are alot of variables involved of course but right now its encouraging that he's managing to play well in the fourth, if nothing else.

As an aside I find this logic funny. We shouldn't argue (which we all do) unless you have conclusive evidence? It's funny.

Since the close of the warriors game, TJ has really put in some good minutes. I thought he did very well towards the end tonight when pop put him in with Parker to help slow down Lawson.

Wow, this 3-0 without Manu is incredibly impressive. Great to see Green improving dramatically.

OKC will not be easy tommorow. I'll be very surprised if they pull it off.

I didn't say we shouldn't. I said its pointless. Most of the discussion on this board is pointless.

I guess its not pointless as in it holds some entertainment value but thats about it.

TP has actually been pretty clutch, but the majority of his minutes have been pretty meh and I haven't seen him finish at the rim nearly as much as he has in previous years. We saw flashes of it tonight though.

That said, it could be that he's tired/needs to save his legs/letting other guys do more. Let's hope so.

a majority of the game he plays like , gettin bailed out by the bench and comes in when the game is on the line to perform clutch, that to me is not clutch, we wouldnt be in a position playing from behind to rely on a last transition for clutch plays to make him look like a hero when he did nothing all game....

I love that Pop is giving the kid a chance to defend these mobile big guys that would give us trouble in the past

OKC is off a b2b as well. i think westbrook and durant both had to play 35+ minutes today.

OKC is off two b2b, IIRC... this will be their 1st back2back2back

I think stats won't help with this one ... its like figuring out Bonner being a plus/minus wonder.

But I am with you here that TP has lost a step. Evidence can be seen in the games they played so far. TP has trouble getting by defenders (I especially remember the Clippers game), every time he turns the corner there is still a body in front of him and when he gets to the rim he seems to get stuffed more often than not. Indeed he had clutch plays at the end of games, but these were jumpers. I think it would have been better for Parker to rest a bit after the Euro Championships ...

Que the "Nuggets are one of the worst teams in the west"

Nuggets are one of the worst teams in the west, IMO

That was awesome. RJ with one of his best sequences as a Spur.

Dare I say I'm becoming glad he wasn't amnestied...now he just has to keep it up, or those sentiments will quickly fade.

Spurs will win 1 of the 2 games vs. Denver/OKC but they will also get destroyed in the other.

I say we barely win this one and get wiped out vs. OKC.

El Che is back in business
