big three closing in on 20 each

[ducks]

parker 18
duncan 18
manu 22
so a far


is this the first game this year they have went for over 20 each in the same game?

[Manu20]

Parker 20
Manu 22
Duncan 19

Duncan missed by 1 point.

[whottt]

Bruce Bowen 17

I'm pretty sure that's the first time Bowen, Duncan, Parker, and Manu have all scored over 15 points in the same game...I'm certain that's the first time they have all scored 17 points or more...not just this season, but ever.

Also...I think we got a very good glimpse of Tony Parker's future today...he was the go to guy with Duncan and Manu out of the game and he stepped up to hold off the Nugs, and he also put up 20 and 8 like it was nothing...and he wasn't even hitting threes or FT's today.


Our bench, other than Horry had a pretty poor game by their usual standards...yet they still scored 21 points.

All in all, a good game.

I think Cooper is going to turn out to be a good coach also.

Parker 20
Manu 22
Duncan 19

Duncan missed by 1 point.

Those damn free throws...

"Our bench"

... didn't get no minutes because the starters couldn't put the game away in the 3rd against this basketcase of a team. Denver got 30 pts in the 3rd quarter, defensive up, outscored Spurs by 6, Spurs couldn't hold the lead, like @TOR all over again.

WTF?

Whott, I was thinking "big 4" tonight for us as well....

Who said our starting 5 can't score with Phoenix....

Ok, I know that is too much. This is a once-a-year thing, most likley.

Ever since Tony started tapping that "Desperate" ass, he's been a man on fire. Maybe we could hook Rasho up with Nicolette Sheridan?

Denver got some easy scores, Dunks and shots close to the basket. I don't know how they only shot .44% honestly.

They out-rebounded us, probably offensive rebounds and such are what allowed them to stay close. Duncan missed a double-double because of sub-par rebounding.

Camby with 15 rebounds!

Nicolette would kill him! Rasho is timid now....I don't want to see him after she abuses him!

There will be more..

"Who said our starting 5 can't score with Phoenix"

Pick a PHX box score, ANY box score, hmm, like last night's

http://www.nba.com/games/20050108/PHOLAC/boxscore.html

PHX did that @LAC.

The Spurs SHOULD have done the same to DEN @SBC. Instead, we end up with "Well, quit complaining, we beat the Nugs. It's a dubya". Guess which team and fans, SA or PHX, had more fun??
