Game Thread: Spurs vs Nuggets — Wed. (12/26) - 7:30/C (3:30am Riga Time)

Hernangomez was a superstar tonight, whoever needs to get healthy for him to hit the bench I’m cool with

[Amuseddaysleeper]

At home. We're still a piss poor team on the road, tbh. We need a high seed in the playoffs to stand any chance of making some noise, tbh.

Spot on

[SpurPadre]

Surprised this was close, but iirc a crippled Spurs team played us fairly close in Denver last year. It's just a weird matchup.

Good game, our group of cripples plays better at home but Friday should go down to the wire.

Bizarro world when a Nuggets fan is talking down to us, lol.

Lma has been garbage on the road, if he plays well we could win, but I expect 5-21

Now that was a good win. Pop had an opportunity to sub in Walker around the 2 minute mark bud did not. I gotta say i was getting pretty fired up against that. That was about the only time it was appropriate to bring him in so i guess it worked out. Great win by the good guys. Cannot wait for Friday.

Also, FINALLY... the cammo unis looked fricken nice. Good job on whoever decides on the jerseys. Those dark yellow/tanned ones looked ghetto. These look nice. Silver and Black baby!

Even in their heyday when they had a prime Melo, Nugget fan knew better than to talk down to Spurs fan.

[timtonymanu]

So we just beat the #1 team in the West by what should have been double digits. Is the improvement for real now?

I mean the win is nice but they’re missing key players and we’re just really good at home. If the Spurs are who I think they still are, they’re gonna get blown out in Denver.

[Pavlov]

Question: would 19 year old TP be treated the same way Walker is being treated by Pop if he came out now?

No, because TP then was so much better than Lonnie is now.

Tony had played professional ball Walker is a one year one and done college player so don’t compare.

[justinandimcool]

Where are all the Nuggets good players? Lol

Good win all around. Starting to believe.

[alpha_HaZE]

Spurs are playing really well right now, and I hope that we only get better from now on. And again, we are a much better team when LaMarcus scores more than 20 points.

I really like our effort on Defense. Guys are hustling. Seeing Davis grabbing the rebound from Jokic, running on the fast break, and Jokic committing a foul out of frustration was gold!

Don't mind not seeing Lonnie as much, I wish we would give him the Kawhi treatment and have him play 20+ min per game. But, it is not happening. It looks like he is getting the DJ treatment of not playing as much or at all and hopefully will be given the opportunity to play later in the season when he is fully healthy, in good B-ball shape, and especially in rhythm. In other words, let him have some monster games in G-League and then play him.

Really hope one day to see the Gervin jerseys in game again. Not sure why they haven't brought em back yet

I think we get blown out in Denver as well. Here's to hoping reverse jinx.

[Kobe'sAchilles]

Tale of two halves for White. First half was atrocious but his second half was great defensively and his offense came into light (both passing and getting the ball in the hoop) in the 4th quarter. Bertans was rebounding the ball like a machine tonight. And him and Marco are hitting their shots. If Forbes can stop making stupid lazy passes and continue to make his shots then we will be rather dangerous. Assuming Demar and Aldridge play like all stars

[Arcadian]

Great win

[Mugen]

Jakob was really good tonight tbh, can't really stress that enough.

[$pursDynasty]

Patty was really trash tonight tbh, can't really stress that enough, either

[spurs10]

We were victorious!

This year's West is one of the strangest conferences I've ever seen in pro sports..it's like 14 above average to good teams, none of them are anything close to great and any of them can beat the other on any given night

[tbdog]

Question: would 19 year old TP be treated the same way Walker is being treated by Pop if he came out now?

The league was different then with less depth. Parker got the start because Daniels was never a point and Pop thought he could make Parker a point.

[BillMc]

We were victorious!

More to come, my friend.

[hombre]

Spurs are balling.

[Mirrornick]

Demar needs to drop a triple double for once. It's hard to believe that he doesn't have one in his career.
