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…
In case you have some time to kill before tomorrow’s game 3 in Denver, you’ll find some video highlights below. NBA TV Top 10: April 25 Spurs 97, Nuggets 88 (Game 2) Tim Duncan post-game interview Bowen, Finley and Ginobli: After the game Spurs coach Gregg Popovich on preparing for Game 3
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…
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…
Sunday’s preview of the Western Conference Finals was shaping up to be a game for the ages, a hard fought battle between the two best teams in the league. Then petty squabbling between a star player and a veteran referee ruined everything. For those who missed it — anyone? — Tim Duncan was ejected late in the third quarter after being called for two technical fouls less than two minutes…
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…
“And they have Tim Duncan. Put Tim on our team, and I think we might be a pretty good team.”–Don Nelson, Golden State Warriors Head Coach “To me, he’s the most valuable player in this league. Hands down. He’s the ultimate team player (who) goes unnoticed. I mean, yeah, he fills up the stat sheet … but it’s all the other stuff that he does and (doesn’t) allow to happen.”–Baron…
