Game Thread: PLAYOFFS. Rnd 1, Gm 6: Nuggets @ Spurs — Thu. (4/25) - 7:00/C (2:00am Riga Time)

[Spurch]

Shaq picked us for Game 7.

Good call Shaq

[playbonner15]

Denver 8-33 outside of paint

72 points in paint

Damn wish the team drafted Jokic. 41st pick!

[NASpurs]

Asking for a friend but is the next game a must-win?

[SpurPadre]

Did you go back and replay it? I didn't. I initially thought it caught rim, and I think almost all the players thought so, too. So, Bryn showed pretty good awareness there. I was shocked he put it up until the replay showed the shot clock winding down.

I did. It hit the rim. The refs better not try to us like that on Saturday.

You should ask Pop, tbh.

[Spurch]

That pick and roll or 1-2 between Murray and yokic seriously needs to be addressed by pop it's us some damage.

[ZeusWillJudge]

Holy ! Just heard Denver had 72 points in the paint, and 28 second chance points. The Spurs HAVE to slow that down on the road. If the refs job Poeltl with the whistles again, they're screwed.

Lol... Not a good idea

In Denver? Don't hold your breath. I will not be surprised if one of our guys gets in early foul trouble again or if somebody fouls out - probably in crunch time on a spurious call in a tight game.

Stop the threes let their big go off

[ZeusWillJudge]

Yeah, but 28 second chance points.

[jjktkk]

Proud of these guys. Didn't think they had it in them.

[NameLess Scrub]

I'm a fan and enjoy the win but is moot towards the results of the series. Just enjoying the moment and getting the Nuggets more tired for the Blazers.

Spurs will get back to getting owned by NBA2k My Player guards in game 7. Probably blown out.

[Mugen]

Props to Derozan and LMA tonight, they stepped up. Earned a pass to the bed in Game 7

[Spurs4#5]

I think the best adjustment pop made was putting Rudy in with Aldridge and Jakob. They had no one to guard him at the 3 and he got some easy buckets and boosted his confidence

[Spurs 4 The Win]

Game 7 will be close imo

[weebo]

Proud of these guys. Didn't think they had it in them.

[Amuseddaysleeper]

Fans were lit tonight. Really good game. Our two Star players did their thing and our role players improved.

On TV they seemed so lacklustre which was word for a playoff game but glad to hear they were amped in person

[BackHome]

Finally Pop learned not to pull starters unless your up by 16 and 3 minutes to go! And who said you can’t teach and old dog new tricks.

[ShutUp SayItAgain!]

Stop the threes let their big go off

Yap yet they won. Spurs gotta feel good that there's some adjustment to be made .

Manning up on Torri Craig certainly helps. I know Rudy stepped on offense but his defense was a glaring weakness.

Patty bringing the ball up and running plays for himself when you got derrick on the floor simply shouldn't happen. Could go on . Hopefully pop figures this out. Duck basics this game 7

[John B]

Momentum shifted. I would’ve preferred 30 points beating but 18 pts should give our guys enough confidence that we can this guy. Close-out on 3’s. Hard foul inside. Catch and drive. Get physical. We got this

[sasaint]

Yeah, but 28 second chance points.

NBA prohibits putting a body on the opponent for a rebound.

Actually, I saw us lose possessions by fumbling a lot of contested rebounds. Inability to grab 'em and secure 'em.

[Capt Bringdown]

Gay's play was critical, he looked like a different person out there tonight.

[Fusternino]

Reading the Nuggets forum, lot of raging about Poeltl's "moving screens" or whatever.
