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

[Kori Ellis]

Spurs play one of their worst halves ever and have the lead with 3 min left.

If I was a Nuggets fan, I wouldn't be thrilled.

[ducks]

[Spurs Brazil]

Spurs take the lead!!!!!!!!!

9-0 run

[lefty]

quick question for those watching the game on TV: are we forcing bad shots or are they good looks but just not going in????

BOTH

[ShoogarBear]

I could be wrong, but the crowd sounds a bit better than the usual Spurs first-rounders.

[Amuseddaysleeper]

do you have a ton of vbookie on the spurs or something?


I like your enthusiasm

[T Park]

Alright.

parker finally gets one, Timmy gets one to fall.

now they have to keep going at their bigs, and get them in foul trouble.

None of this namby pamby jumpshot bull.

[ducks]

[Chris]

Its so nice to see a WCF game not involving Phoenix and/or Dallas

Yep.

Only thing is, you know AI isn't going to have another half like this.

We're playing good defense, taking care of the ball, and forcing a lot of turnovers. If we could shoot at all we'd be up 15 right now.

Besides shooting the ony other concern is offensive rebounds. But we're doing a lot of things very well right now.

[Spurologist]

Step 1 was always for Tim to get his first bucket. He gets that gorilla off his back. Maybe he can relax and start making some plays.

[GrandeDavid]

Get crackin in tha club when ya hear tha shidt!

[Mavs<Spurs]

We have the lead.

As bad as we have played, as poorly as we have shot, and as miserably as we have defensively rebounded, we have the lead.



One good sign, Parker going back and getting that rebound.

Partly, we are starting to press.

[ducks]

I could be wrong, but the crowd sounds a bit better than the usual Spurs first-rounders.

spur fans are trying to actually help spurs get going

[ShoogarBear]

They do need to do a better job on the defensive boards.

[PB&J]

Yep.

Only thing is, you know AI isn't going to have another half like this.

True..but neither will Ginobli, Parker or Duncan

[Supergirl]

Any of those Bowen-haters notices that as soon as Bowen checks back in, Anthony get much, much quieter?

[theMUHMEshow]

Yep.

Only thing is, you know AI isn't going to have another half like this.

[Man of Steel]

Incredible game--

The worst game stat-wise for the big three all year long;
and we're ahead?!

[T Park]

as much as I bagged on fin.

hes one miss from shooting 50%

but hes got to do a better job on the rebounding and help tim against nene and camby.

they just have to gang rebound.

Slow it down.

Run the offense. Pound the rock inside.

Got to take a baltimore raves, defensive, pound that mentality.

[theMUHMEshow]

NENE looks like an ALL NBA player at times...and other times he looks like Rodney White

[davemaniscool]

How many seconds in the lane does Nene get!?

[Pistons < Spurs]

Oh man....thought Horry was gonna get squished
