Nuggets vs. Spurs 1st Round 2007 playoffs

[PaulinPlano]

Many are picking this series to go 6 games. I think that depends on how well the Spurs can contain Iverson and Anthony and how well Tony Parker plays.

I throw out the Jan 10, 2007 SA 92, @DEN 83 game because Anthony did not play. I also throw out the Apr 18, 2007 DEN 100, @SA 77 game.

The Feb 20, 2007 @SA 95, DEN 80 game, San Antonio contained Iverson very well though I don't remember if he had just come back from an injury or something. They also held Anthony to about half his season average.

I think many are underestimating the SA defense.

San Antonio in 5!

GO SPURS GO

I think Duncan will be fired up for this series after the crap last week. SA will also turn it up for the playoffs and they understand what it takes to win.

SA in 5. :cool:

Very good point. He may also be a bit embarassed and will want to turn it way up!

[lonny23]

I also say Spurs in 5.

[jrock210]

I say Spurs in 4 or 5. Ihey may sweep the series depending on how well they do after a 4 day break. I believe if they win game one they take the series in 4

[TexasRed6x]

I say Spurs in 5 also.

[T-ROCK]

I have to go with the Nuggets in 6. San Antonio is to old to stop the Nuggets this year.

[Matthew 2000 Eagle]

It's going to take alot more than Carmelo and Iverson to beat the Spurs. Spurs in 5.

Oh, and my girlfriend is picking the Nuggets to win the Western Conference. LMAO!!!:eek: :eek: :eek: :eek: :eek:

I smell a bet :D

[TexasRed6x]

I smell a bet :D

I wouldn't bet against him. I know this guy REALLY well. Trust me I would lose if I put up a bet against him.

[jrock210]

lol Oh ok :D

[T-ROCK]

I smell a bet :D

No bet needed The Spurs will go down. They are old legs and will be run into the ground. The Nuggets are now on their game this will be a huge upset, I can hear the Click Click Boom its over.

[jrock210]

The Nuggets will lose easy. Nothing more to it.

[T-ROCK]

The Nuggets will lose easy. Nothing more to it.

I like it, you will probably say that Judson will win District as well. That is what I like about Rocket Fans even when things are starting to go down hill you still look on the bright side, cool.

Do you go to Wagner or are you just someone who likes Wagner because your kid goes there. I always look on the bright side and never paty attention to scoers when I'm playing because anything can happen. I'm a Judson fan and proud.

Again, I say that is great. I say them play all 10 games last year, what a total let down. I feel good knowing that as long a the Rack is their then things like last year will always happen. Good luck with the Rockets this year.

[0utlaw]

Earlier I was watching Heat Vs Bulls...

Did anyone notice how many bogus calls there was in that game??

Don't get me wrong,I wanted Miami to lose but Chicago got away with alot of fouls.

This thread quickly switched from Spurs to Judson

Yea your right again the Spurs will lose to the Nuggets!!!!!!!

I will not mention the Rockets again, not worth it.

[0utlaw]

Lol!! ^^^

The Spurs will own the Nuggets.

It's funny because all of the Heat fans are b******* and crying about it.

[0utlaw]

lol...i just hope the spurs do not experience a similar situation.

[BoomerSooner]

Denver 95
San Antonio 89
:p

[0utlaw]

I didn't see game but I viewed the highlights.ugh..juss can't believe it ::shakes fist:::mad:

[shs13]

spurs played a horrible 1st half..they'll take game to

[twcpfan1]

I smell upset. Nuggets in 5. Rockets will be lone Texas team to go through to the next round. :D

[FootballCrazy727]

I say Spurs will win this in 7. If they lose game 2 though they will lose the series. Not much of a chance in that happening though.

[BoomerSooner]

I smell upset. Nuggets in 5. Rockets will be lone Texas team to go through to the next round. :D

That would be sweet. I would really like a Cavaliers and Rockets final, even though that has a VERY low probability of happening.

[Matthew 2000 Eagle]

lol...i just hope the spurs do not experience a similar situation.
When it comes to the NBA, you have to be prepared for anything.

[jrock210]

I was at this Fiesta thing on Ft Sam last night because my Dad was shooting the cannons off and they had a huge jumbotron snd they had a band next to it. They were showing the Spurs game and dudring commercials they would switch back to the band ad everything. People were paying more attention to the game then to the band and whenever the General wanted to sing Elvis music the Spurs were down by 2 with 15 seconds to go they cut the game off becausde he says so. I hated them so much.

[TexasRed6x]

Yea your right again the Spurs will lose to the Nuggets!!!!!!!



Dang T-Rock you were right... Just for one game though. :D

[TexasRed6x]

The ironic part of the game one loss is in 2005 the Nuggets took game 1 in SA and Andre Miller scored 31 points. The Nuggets ended up losing the series in 5. Last night, the Nuggets took game 1 in SA and Iverson scored 31 points. I smell a trend here.

Trust me I was right I said depending on Game 1 it will be either 4 or 5. Anyone know when the spurs play again?

[PaulinPlano]

I can't believe this game was so close. Parker, Duncan & Ginobili went 19 for 52.:eek:

If the big 3 decide to play ( I think POP will convince them to) Spurs will still take this in 5!:cool:

The Spurs losing Game 1 may not be such a bad thing. Look:

In 2003, the Spurs lost Game 1 of their first round series with Phoenix 98-96 when Stephon Marbury hit a running 3-pointer at the buzzer. The Spurs went on to win the series in 6 and eventually take the NBA title.

In 2004, the Spurs swept Memphis 4-0 in the first round of the playoffs and then lost to LA 4-2 in the second round.

In 2005, SA lost Game 1 of their first round matchup with Denver as Andre Miller scored 31. The Spurs went on the win the series 4-1 and ultimately won their third NBA title.

In 2006, the Spurs won Game 1 of their first round series with Sacramento 122-88 and won the series 4-2. They then lost to Dallas (still the greatest playoff series of all time) 4-3 in the the second round.

In 2007, the Spurs lost Game 1 of their first round matchup with Denver. Hmmmm....



Game 2 is Wednesday, at 6 pm.

[PaulinPlano]

I can't believe this game was so close. Parker, Duncan & Ginobili went 19 for 52.:eek:

Iverson and Anthony score 31 and 30! And they only won by 6 points!

[jrock210]

Iverson and Anthony score 31 and 30! And they only won by 6 points!

That's the power of the Spurs defense. I'll admit it the defense let's the main players scoore big and then hold the others to 5 or 6 :D

[TexasRed6x]

Trust me I was right I said depending on Game 1 it will be either 4 or 5. Anyone know when the spurs play again?

They play Wednesday.

[jrock210]

They play Wednesday.

ya I decided to look it up 5 minutes after I asked. that's a pretty long break for a series after not playing for 4 days and now not playing for 3.

[PaulinPlano]

:eek:

I kept looking on my dish to program the game. That is a long layoff!

[jrock210]

I know that's what I'm saying. I guess they think this makes up for all those 4 games in 5 days. Trust me 3 games in 7 days doen't help much.

[PaulinPlano]

OK... Game day... Spurs by 10!

[jrock210]

Spurs won I wasd at church and we listened to the game before chrch and we had a heap pinata party because the service was suprisingly shorter than usual. Right when the party started you could find me and my pastor chilling in his truck listening to Spurs game :D

Series tied 1-1 and I'm sick of these 2 day rests

[PaulinPlano]

Spurs won by 9 but it was closer at the end there for a bit. Spurs had a large lead and let Denver back in it. They looked a little sluggish in the 4th. A win for the Spurs but they did not look great. Iverson and Anthony's production was down 15 points from the first game which is good. Duncan and Ginobili wer OK but Parker still did not shoot well. Oberto had a good game and grabbed several rebounds.

Spurs need to continue improvement in game 3.

[PaulinPlano]

Pop expects this to be a grind it out type series.

[PaulinPlano]

Spurs win a very workman like game. Tony Parker, Duncan and Finley key this win in a hostile Denver arena. If the Spurs will keep the energy level up in the next game, I think they can still win this in 5.

GO SPURS GO!

[PaulinPlano]

Iverson: "Who moved my cheese?":p

[PaulinPlano]

Big Shot Bob!!!

[CKE]

how could stern let the spurs get away with this :confused:

[RedRage00]

how could stern let the spurs get away with this :confused:

LMFAO

[PaulinPlano]

Spurs win 96-89 but it was a much closer game. I thought the refs had a VERY good game. Anthonys fouls were fouls. Camby had 4 but it did not affect his playing time. Nene Hilario played very well but I also thought his fouls call were correct. All that said, no one fouled out. Denver was 2-16 from 3-point land. They could not hit the three pointer but kept taking them. Denver also had 16 turnovers.

Spurs go back to San Antonio with a 3-1 series lead.

[RedRage00]

I think the Spurs will close it out Wednesday night here in SA.

Does this look like a repeat of 2005? ;)

I think the refs had a good game, too. I never said all playoff games were bad. So far it's 2-2 good-bad reffed games in the Spurs series.

Game 4 was bad officiating in my amnd every other Spurs fan's opinion.

"Who Moved my Cheese" Part II:p

The Denver Post is Ripping Iverson. OUCH!

I watched the interview on TNT after the game with Iverson and he said:

"I just took what they gave me," Iverson said after the loss Monday night. "I'm not trying to take any credit away from them. They're running on me and it's been effective. They are making me take tough shots. Shadowing me. Making sure I receive more than one defender. It's something I got to get through."

I give AI credit for calling it like it is.

Duncan got nothing for quite a while. Good job on maintaining his composure - you could tell he was PISSED.

He was livid. I could see him talking to the refs from time to time. I only saw 2 fouls that were missed on him.

Series over!!!!

Spurs win in 5. 93-78 over the Nuggets. Lakers or Suns next.
