Game Thread: PLAYOFFS. Rnd 1, Game 2: Spurs @ Nuggets — Tue. (4/16) - 8:00/C (4:00am Riga Time)

[Larry O]

Refs and NBA TV didn't want the Good Guys to go up 2-0 in this series, SMH...

[paperboy77]

Oh well. Still go the split. Really and truly with a home-crowd behind them.... even POP can't this us right?

[Kurgan]

We had the series won, now we have lost it. This one is on Pop. When you have a team led by chokers, as coach you can't allow to have the absolute show Pop pulled at the end of the 3rd.

This. Absolutely this. Spurs are an extremely flawed, badly constructed roster. These type of mediocre teams need all the advantage they can get. When your coach puts you in a position to fail like Pop did in that 3rd quarter, the outcome is inevitable.

[BillMc]

Sucks. Rudy was awful today.

Oh well. We got the split. Onto Thursday.

[DAF86]

Yeah we blew it but we’re going back to SA tied 1-1 stop ing Jesus Christ lmao.

We just lost the series, tbh.

[SPURt]

Well, we’ve seen the Spurs struggle to close out winnable games on the road all year. Not too surprising.

[ZeusWillJudge]

Guaranteed this series is over. Hopefully denver wins the next 3 and puts these worthless s out of their misery.

If they had lost a closely contested game on the road, they'd look strong. But getting their pushed in after being up 19? They just told the Nuggets that they are the better team.

[LaMarcus Bryant]

Game was lost in the middle of the 3rd quarter. Denver is in foul trouble and in the bonus, down 19, and Pop decides to take out the only two guys that can drive to basket or handle the ball.

[mexicanjunior]

this choking POS team...move this er to Vegas already...

[Truth4sale$]

Such a dissapointment, blowing a 20 pt lead

[MoSpur02]

This one is on Pop with his rotations and for not running more pick and roll at Jovic.

[FkLA]

Talk about a ing collapse. Pop is a dumb for not staggering Demar and White. We're up big, let's throw a Mills-Belli backcourt out there for s and giggles. IIRC even Aldridge was out.

[paperboy77]

STFU HEB commercials!

[HarlemHeat37]

Why would anybody be discouraged by this game? Obviously the meltdown sucks, but they dominated 3 quarters on the road, it took home biased officials + one of their volume chuckers getting hot to win the game

Denver's flaws were on full display again..

[jjktkk]

Rudy Gay was horrendous. Looked slow and washed

Yeah, horrible decision making down stretch by Gay.

[Uriel]

[Blackjack]

Pretty terrible basketball this series. Neither one of these teams looks better than an 8-seed. Look like playoff neophytes - hot and cold, ty ball.

Oh, and Pop's handle on a game, including the referees, is dog .

[sasaint]

If it makes it any easier, Jamal Murray played out of his mind during this last stretch. Single handedly won the game for Denver

Yeah that was epic. He doesn't shoot that well when he is by himself in an empty gym.

[DarrinS]

Settle down, tbh

[Chomag]

Up 20 with little more than a quarter to go and instead of keeping the foot on the pedal Pop went with a Mills, Forbes, Bellinelli perimeter. Any other coach would get murdered for it.

[3&D_TBH]

I love Pop, but holy he blew it with who he had in the game in the 4th. Blowing those kinds of leads in a playoff series usually winds up costing you. This is a hard one to swallow. Wtf

[RD2191]

No one chokes like the Spurs, no one. these clowns.

[tim_duncan_fan]

I blame Aldridge and Demar. They've never seen a 20ft 2-pointer they didn't absolutely love. So scared to attack the rim it hurts.

Tim and Manu would tear this ty league apart with those bodies.
