Round 1: Denver Nuggets vs San Antonio Spurs thread

Nene has been REALLLLYYYYYYYY Impressive.

Looks like he is 100% back from injury.

I am glad for him.

 

All for the better, Rockets don't have to face Spurs in the future.

 

Man AI is a badazz. Has this guy ever got swept ? I bet not coz this guy can win a game by himself. Against ANYBODY.

 

Was Eva asleep?

 

Denver has quick leapers in Nene and Camby. Quick leapers give Duncan trouble. And i like how they are playing him. Letting Nene force Duncan to one side and waiting for help defense from Camby.

 

No, its the Sun that we don't wanna face. Rox beat spur twice this season with only either yao or T-mac.

 

Actually I rather have Spurs alive to take out the Suns. We match up very well against Spurs.

 

this one definitely isn't over. 10 points (8 now and about to be 6) is nothing, especially for a mistake prone team like denver against a battle-tested team like the spurs.

 

Agreed... if the Spurs want to win, they're going to have to rely on Parker/Ginobili to break down the Denver perimeter defense. It will be tough for Duncan to get his against the Denver bigs. (and as I type this, Parker is breaking down the d, and getting to the line with ease... maybe its not over).

 

that was ****ing amazing. the nuggets almost did everything they could to leave horry wide open for that 3.

WHAT IN THE **** ARE THEY DOING! somehow they've got 2 guys guarding 3 guys on the perimeter and both guys are running around following each other so it's really only 1. just un****ingbelievable, and exactly why there's not reason to believe they can win this series. that's just a beyond stupid mental mistake.

 

I never said that their 10-1 record and momentum was everything. I said that having key guys with playoff and conference championship experience and a winning attitude would come into play. I also said having a dominant, MVP-caliber go-to guy in Iverson would play a role in this series and so far it appears to be true.

 

The playoffs are all about matchups, and Nuggets match up extremely well with the Spurs and have the necessary 'balance' to pull off an upset. Nene and Camby are pretty good inside presence for a team with a dynamic duo in AI and Melo.

Nuggets 1-0...GO NUGGETS!

 

Very nice performance by Dever. Duncan, Parker and Manu really struggled all night.

 

I don't think Phoenix wants any part of San Antonio OR Denver. The Nuggets can run with Phoenix, and their frontcourt would give them more problems then the Lakers present.

 

that was a mighty quick 8 second whistle. i could see it coming but they usually expect it to be obvious. that looked almost simultaneous to me.

 

While the Nuggets match up well, they're a really really (really) low IQ/STUPID basketball team.

AI can hold his own, but the rest of them (including Melo) need to play with a semblance of poise.

 

Shot clock said 15... pretty easy for the refs to call it.

 

Its the Benet Salvatore home court call.

 

parker needs to play more "trip the guy but they won't call a foul on the spurs" defense like he just did. works pretty well.

 

Thats what i meant by taking good shots. AI just jacked up a prayer that had absolutely no chance of going in.

Good shots guys...good shots.
