George Karl can't complain - Nuggets had 30 FT's, and the Spurs had 14 Ft's. The freethrow disparity is the only thing that kept them in the game at all!
No one can replace Big Shot's intangibles.
Bonner??
I hope it's Nocioni at SF!

A very nice dream
[rant]The Nuggets suck because their coach sucks. He's a whiny loser who sets a bad example for his team. On top of that, Melo and AI take all the shots, leaving their teammates hustling for scraps, never allowing them to truly contribute. Without Nene's effort, they wouldn't even be close. Carmelo is a hit-n-run who spends the entire game pushing off, along with his butt-buddy AI. Duncan has been the true DPOY, but a fourth ring will do just fine I suppose. I can't wait for this series to be over.[/rant]
Thank Baby Jesus for Robert Horry!
When Manu attacks, good things happen.
They were taking way to many jumpers down the stretch...lost a decent lead that way, but still hung on.
Who said anything about being y, Im just estaticIt's ok to be happy, but don't get y or anything
WHEW!!
It's only the 3rd game! A little too early too get excited... but I am feeling good!
That actually has a decent amount to do with the Spurs defense and the fact that the Spurs are setting the pace of the game. If the Nuggets were able to play at their preferred up tempo pace, they'd have more fast breaks and more possessions in general to split up between the players.On top of that, Melo and AI take all the shots, leaving their teammates hustling for scraps, never allowing them to truly contribute.
As it is, they have limited possessions, and they are choosing to spend them on AI and Melo, knowing they can't both be guarded.
The effect is that they have to rely on them to score and when they don't it's too late for anyone else to really get into a rhythm.
I'll take it. They can have as many shots as they want.
Nice and exciting game!
A few thoughts,
Robert Horry is the effin' man! Nice to dust him off and have him here for the playoffs once again.
Finley is looking like he's more comfortable in a Spurs uni than he's ever been. I'm glad he's feeling so confident now and just letting it fly!
Manu is looking ALMOST like his former playoff self. I'd still like to see him drive a bit more instead of dishing out or shooting the J, but I'll take what I can get.
They should just give George Karl a jersey with as much time he spends on the damn court!
Same here man. I can't wait for Tomorrows Mavs @ GSgame on Sunday.Who said anything about being y, Im just estatic
WHEW!!
True that. Take what we can get game to game, I guess.
Whats great about tonight?
This was another not great played game.
They played one good quarter.
the third.
The 4th mediocre, first horrible, second decent.
What we should start seeing though in game 4 and 5, is that the Nuggets don't go deep.
Their big guys should start wearing down maybe,......
I agree, the defense is dictating the tempo. However, I still feel it's their game plan anyway. They both played 44 minutes tonight...that's insane.
Uhh....we won. That's pretty damn great.
Me too. Just wish the friggin game wasn't so late on Sunday night. Really hard on this old person's body to drink a bunch and get up early Monday.
yeah, these are playoff games. Once we get the W. Everything's reset to see how we fare in the next game. That's what I love about the playoffs, none of that regular season nitpicking. What we have ready is good to go, and hope we make our adjustments to win and just go play.
Melo's first words in presser: "Ohh ttt."
Yah, then he hung JR out to dry.
anyone get the press conference after the game?
a win is a win. period.
If the Spurs had played an almost perfect game and won by only 5 - then I'd be upset and worried. As it is, they had some mental lapses tonight and some boneheaded plays and still managed to grind out the win - that's what champions do!
NBA TV runs them, NBA.com runs them. Spurs.com runs them but usually only after home games. Kori puts up links to any she gets, I think home games also.
Pop, Duncan, AI, Melo and Karl spoke tonight.
He was on Carmelo most of the game and did a good job.
Missed the game. Duncan and Parker took 44 shots between them and had a total of two FTS. Were they jacking 3s all night?

"I can't believe that Parker can take 21 shots and not have any free throws"
