Game 4 San Antonio @ Denver: Spurs 96, Nuggets 89 (3-1) Just another Picasso for your San Antonio Spurs. God does this team make everything tense. It is tempting to think that the Nuggets couldn’t have possibly given us this much of a battle in 2005, but then you look at the box scores and see that we only won Game 3 by 8 and game 4 went to overtime….
Ah well, it wasn’t easy or particularly enjoyable at times, but that’s one. Just a mere 15 to go. Overall I thought it was an uneven performance where both teams got better offensively and worse defensively as the game wore on. Wait, why am I writing this stuff above the scoreline? Game 2 Denver @ San Antonio: Spurs 97, Nuggets 88 (1-1)Where was I? Oh right, anyway for the most…
Yesterday was Tim Duncan’s 31st birthday. To celebrate the occasion, his San Antonio Spurs managed to lose a 17 point lead in the fourth quarter against an NBA playoff team with Eduardo Najera in the rotation. Don’t get me wrong, I like Najera, and the rest of the Nuggets. I just didn’t think we would be playing them in late April. And I was still stinging from the close loss…
Poof. Just like that, the Spurs (and the Mavericks*) lost their homecourt advantage yesterday. Mr. Robot Face must screw head back on. (Jerry Lara/ Express-News)The good news is that the Spurs kept it close against the Nuggets, and came back to within two in the closing seconds, despite having a truly atrocious shooting day. I doubt that Iverson and Anthony will play this well again against the Spurs. How awful…
Not a bad first day of NBA playoffs, considering there was no Spurs game to hold my rapt attention. Both 4-5 series look like they’re gonna go at least six and T-Dot vs. Vinsanity looks pretty juicy as well. I watched maybe 2 ¼ games cumulatively, and for me that’s a lot. I don’t see that’s gonna happening tomorrow… Game 1: New Jersey @ Toronto: Nets 96, Raptors 81 It…
God, what a depressing week it’s been. First the Imus thing, then the Virginia Tech killings. Are you like me? Did you see the picture of the killer on one of the news shows and think to yourself, “HEY! I think I went to high school with that guy!” What, too soon? Yeah, I’m quite proud of that joke, thanks. These are the times when I’m glad I don’t believe…
Game 78 Vs. Sacramento: Spurs 109, Kings 100 Must…blog…on. Hang with me, my pretties, we’re almost there. Just four more totally meaningless-”Oh wait maybe if the Suns lose a couple they’re meaningful”-”No wait, never mind, it’s not gonna happen, they are meaningless” games. Should I be concerned that our defense was crummy for the third straight game? Well, we have played an awful lot of tinyball of late, (19 minutes…
Is it just me, or does it feel like the San Antonio Spurs are marching towards a fourth NBA title? Things have certainly been good for the Spurs lately, and can only get better. After their win against the Kings tonight, the Spurs have the best record in the league since the All-Star Break, winning 22 of 25. That includes victories against the Pistons, the Jazz and the Suns. Back…
Greetings from San Diego once again, ladies and germs. It has been nearly a week since I posted, as I have been quite preoccupied in the interim. Here’s a blow-by-blow account of my past week, as near as I care to remember… Friday March 30th: Well this day started off slow enough. I finished off my Nooch blog, and Manolis came over so that we could see the cinematic masterpiece…
Game 70 @ Golden State: Spurs 126, Warriors 89I’m not usually prone to giddiness but that, ladies and germs was as close to a perfect game experience as I’ve had in quite some time. I won’t bore anyone with the details, but due to miscommunication and unforseen circumstances I ended up paying way too much for awful tickets and I couldn’t meet the Spursdynasty gang because I’m sick and my…
