The Spurs' drubbing of the Nuggets in Game 2, fueled in no small part by adjustments made by Spurs' Head Coach Gregg Popovich, left the two last Popbashers in San Antonio de Bexar speechless...
Spurs show their true colors.
Pop makes some great moves, discounting all the talk that he could not coach..
Spurs all rebound the ball and do not turn the ball over, just like Pop asked them to, which I agreed was the reason why they lost Game 1. The offense lapse was not the reason why they lost game 1, and they all did not magically forget how to shoot the ball, the problems they had were all managable and correctable.
All the Chicken Littles that decried the Spurs by saying that the sky was falling can go back outside and enjoy the beautiful day...the sun did come up afterall.
The rumors of the Spurs' demise were greatly exaggerated.
Believe!!

oh, man, classic...
Can't wait until Saturday!
Never said he couldn't coach, simply that he made some mistakes of his own in game one. Still believe that and hope it doesn't cost the series. He did more than ask them, he changed the line-up and sub patterns...he coached the team, rather than watching them piss away a game in the 4th quarter. Great job by all, including the coach.
We can't let up, we have to come out focus every game from here on end. We won't sweep through the playoffs like past great Championship teams have, but we need to make a run like the 2003 le team did & the 1998 team.
TP, Brent are going to decide whether we take it home this Yr or not. TiMVP will give you his typical quiet great #'s, but everyone around him needs to step up.
And we need to chill with the stupid Fouls we're committing & the poor FT shooting. Game 1 was a dream (FT %) but in close games we'll lose one here or there or let teams stay close b/c of the FT shooting.
GO SPURS!

When SA comes back from losing game 1, and wins this series, it will be the 3rd straight time that they came back and won a series after losing game at home.
After going 0-11 in those situations throughout their history, I would say that the reason for the turnaround here is Tim Duncan, Tony Parker and Manu Ginobli.
These guys are mentally tough.
I am as pumped up as you are about them winning last night, but don't get too carried away with the "These guys are mentally tough" stuff. They are 1-5 in their last 6 playoff games.... That being said, SPURS in 6.
ladiesman
They are mentally tough, how many times do the experts, and Ginobili and Duncan themselves have to beat you guys over the head with it till you guys realize it?These guys are mentally tough
I also thought he made mistakes especially in 4th quarter in game one and still stand behind that. But he did make major adjustments for game 2 and they worked. So props for Pop!
The Spurs are so boring, they never show any emotion
Last nights game was simbly beautiful..... Tim looked like the Timmy we all know and love..
Well, let's not start sucking each others s just yet
as opposed to sucking each other's s later?
No thanks.
Pulp Fiction (1994)as opposed to sucking each other's s later?
No thanks.
The Wolf: Well, let's not start sucking each other's s just yet.
I actually missed that part.. maybe. Been awhile since I've watched it. But yeahPulp Fiction (1994)
The Wolf: Well, let's not start sucking each other's s just yet.

Hallelujah!
Joy to the World the Spurs come back! David Stern start polishing our trophy! =)
Every one including Pop made mistakes in game 1, but I didnt see Pop miss any of the 17 shots...that's the reason the Spurs lost, no team can expect to win a playoff game with that type of performance
These guys are mentally tough.
eh. If they were mentally tough, they wouldn;t lose game ones at home to inferior teams. It's great that they can come back and all (sometimes), but it would be better of they could hold serve at home.
That has nothing to do with it.
Their mental toughness will show when the chips are down, not in the first game of a series when they had not played as a whole team but for about 2 games in the last month and change.
Must win games, show mental toughness.
Not game 1s where you cant buy a basket.
Agreed. And that's not an inferior team you beat. If the Nuggets do lose this series (and I've predicted from the start they would), I hope to God just once in these next two games they put it all together to show you guys that this isn't an inferior team. This is a VERY, VERY good team you are playing.
Spurs didn't lose game one because of being lackadasical, poor coaching moves or the refs. They lost it because the Nuggets came out with energy, capitalized on the mistakes the Spurs made, made the key plays in the closing minutes and some great coaching by Karl.
The Nuggets didn't lose the game the other night because they tanked it, the refs, or many of the other reasons I've seen and heard. They lost it because they couldn't hit their open fifteen foot shots, the Spurs came out with fire the Nuggets didn't match, and some great adjustments by Pop.
I've said it from the start of the series, I think game four will be the biggest game. I still think Denver comes back and wins game 3. Tough at home and they'll be fired up beyond belief. I think you'll see the best of the Nuggets Saturday night. That makes Monday night the game of the year. You guys win it, you win the series. We win it, I don't think you can beat this Nugget team three straight times.
We'll see if I have to eat crow tomorrow night.
As always, good luck.
"this isn't an inferior team"
damn trolls. Nuggets ARE an inferior team, coach, culture to the Spurs.
Enjoy your Little Spring Fling with George.
Come autumn, the honeymoon with GKarl will be over. Like the coaches before him this year, he won't be able to keep the ballas listening to him.
I agree with you that game 3 will be critical, but then almost every game is critical in the playoffs.
The Nuggets will come out with fire in Game 3, and the Spurs have to hold their turf, handle all the Nuggets can give, and the Nuggets will start to doubt themselves after the fire is gone. It's quite typical of a young team like the Nuggets, show them that their best is not good enough for a blowout, and let them self-destruct.
