Post #1 » by **Nolan** » Tue Mar 22, 2011 9:07 pm

When: 10:30 PM ET, March 23, 2011
Where: Pepsi Center, Denver, CO

VS

Starting Lineups:

Spurs:
PG - Tony Parker
SG - Manu Ginobili
SF - Richard Jefferson
PF - DeJuan Blair
C - Antonio McDyess

Nuggets:
PG - Ty Lawson
SG - Wilson Chandler
SF - Danilo Gallinari
PF - Kenyin Martin
C - Nene

Its going to be our first game since the Duncan injury and its going to be against a tough opponent in the Nuggets. The Nuggets have been playing great since the Melo trade and this isn't going to be an easy game. The key to this game is going to be the play of DeJuan Blair and Tiago Splitter. If those two step up and play well we should have a good shot at winning this game.

This is going to be Splitter's chance to show that he was worth all the hype. He's going to get minutes now and a chance to prove himself. While Duncan's out we're to need Splitter defense and rebounding.

Go Spurs!!

So Blair is playing? Wasn't sure. We should take this, but their frontline is tough even if we had TD.

Wouldn't be surprised if we lose this, Denver have been playing well and are fully healthy, a lot of our guys have knocks going in, plus no Duncan to match their size against Nene and Martin. Will be good to see Splitter go against his country man in Nene though.

It's interesting that the Nuggets have improved since the Melo trade while the Knicks have gotten worse.

Holy crap what a game! Shame we lost but there were some promising signs there. At the top of the game, Hubie Brown mentioned that Duncan was out for 3 games, ie. the road trip? Can anyone else confirm this? This is less than the 2 weeks that has been reported.

Anyway, the Nuggets are a great team. They're scary on the break, their bigs are tough and effective and their long range shooting is lights out. Thank God we won't see them in the 1st round. OKC will have their hands full with these guys.

I'll go shopping with the Nugget's owner and GM anytime..
