Spurs @ Nuggets Jan. 3 - Game Blog

[Josepatches]

with the sheer number of big men that they can throw at TD, they can pretty much do that to anybody.

No prob.It's January.They did a good work last year but at the end in the playoffs TD was better than all that guys

[SpursFanFirst]

who cares? I hope to be wrong but i'm sure Suns will win

Well actually, Josepatches, I haven't been the only person taking notice of this game tonight. Just making a statement.

[loveforthegame]

TD is the only guy that can get a ing rebound in the team.48-35 to Nuggets but maybe 30-0 when TD was in the bench.That was the key.

Fin did his part with 8 but no one else helped on the boards.

Duncan played a pretty terrible game. No adjustments to their defense, slow decisions, bouncing the ball off his foot, etc.

Parker decided to wait 2.5 quarters before trying. Finley and Bonner are the only ones who brought their game all night.

Our defense was outstanding for 46:30. However, in basketball, the object is to outscore your opponent, so we failed. .

parker is at +10 when he was on the court

Duncan played a pretty terrible game.

You, Vinny, are a moron. Look at Duncan's stats again. Can you count? Do you know what numbers are?

[fred33]

parker is at +10 when he was on the court

the big problem is that only 3guys score in this team

[Punkkboy44]

Stellar effort from Oberto and Elson...boy do they suck..and of course Vaghn..pitiful...Spurs have NO offense..NONE..ZILCH...NADA...NOTHING

[Josepatches]

parker is at +10 when he was on the court

Yeah.Because he played against the bench players when we were losing by 16.
Bowen is at +14 and Elson +7.Gives them the MVP too

[peskypesky]

Parker, Finley, Duncan, Manu, Barry. I count 5.

[NugzFan]

Denver sure has a lot of s for players

That's true Fred. Pop's got too many role players that can't score worth a e and create their own shot. Spurs offense is usually rubbish when the big 3 aren't all there and we aren't knocking down threes.

yup. i'd be worried if the spurs played well and still lose.

[bigfundamental21]

I won't lose any sleep over it.
They played like , it would have been a shock if they pulled it out.

What I don't like is that it was a Duncan TO that turned it the wrong way at the end. Watching him play bad is hard for me.

I feel your pain, but he always responds with a strong game after mistakes like that. Especially since we are playing the Knicks on a back to back.

[Amarelooms]

Does no one here agree that both teams played hard?

[fred33]

Parker, Finley, Duncan, Manu, Barry. I count 5.

and without manu and barry who count MANY?

if you're trying the anti-jinx jinx formula, you should have done it before the game, not after.

Our two starting centers from last season have completely disappeared the last two weeks. They've done absolutely nothing. I'd have to say based on Oberto and Elson's play the past two weeks that both these guys are not earning their paycheck. They're almost overpaid

[loveforthegame]

They just showed the last 1:30 on TNT and Parker wasn't even close on Carter with that 3 pointer. And Bonner had a decent look but passed to Finley who really didn't have a good look at all. Terrible.

[m33p0]

Does no one here agree that both teams played hard?

nope. denver played hard. spurs tried but they were just not in it mentally. too tentative. only finley made any decisive moves.

[Josepatches]

when wewere losing by 16 he was on the bench

Of course.If he had been in the court he never could be +10.
He went to the court when we were losing by 16 to play against the bench players.Pop made that now because we didn't have Manu and we need someone to scores.
Don't care about that stats because it's not the same to play against bench or starters.Kenyon Martin is -6 but he was very important with 7 BLK

[ChumpDumper]

Spotted them too many points early, but overall a good effort.

[Ice009]

Like I said Carter was left WIDE open. WIDE open.

You just hit 30,000 on your odometer. That's awesome.

[BeerIsGood!]

Oberto will be fine once the playoffs near.

Elson is a waste and nothing should be expected of him from here on out.

Something is mentally wrong with Parker. He plays like his mind is somewhere else. His decision to enter a Hollywood relationship and marriage is ing his game up as I was afraid would happen.
