We're coming off a big blowout win over the Bobcats to face the Nuggets at home for a game that should be very close.

The key to this one is going to be slowing down this fast paced Nuggets team,

Also Manu is probable for this one so we could see him back in the lineup.

Go Spurs!!

Are the Nuggets still missing Nene and Gallinari?

If so, Spurs win easily. Nuggets are dangerous with their full team no doubt, but if you think about it, Gallinari and Nene might just be their best 2 players. I don't see them winning. Only way we lose is if we don't try hard enough, or the Nuggets just have one of those "we're hitting all our contested shots tonight" sorts of nights.

Refs showing NBA fans the best way to end a run: Give the other team 3 straight bogus whistles on every possession on both ends of the floor!

At least the refs stopped letting Fareied and Anderson goaltend after they let them get away with it the first two times. But man, the end of that quarter they gave Denver 3 straight bogus whistles. What a joke.

Man I'm so sick of these phantom foul calls, jesus christ. They're pushing people to get rebounds, no calls, then they just go full speed out of control to the basket don't even get touched and get free throws. Wtf man.

Ever since SA went on a run (with no whislte help) to get close in the late 2nd, refs have been really brutal in favor of the Nuggets.

Meh.. I'm not gonna blame anything on the refs.

We didn't lose because of non-calls. We lost because we played without energy. The only time we had any sort of energy was when Manu entered and you can see the intensity picked up a little when Bonner starts hitting threes and Manu made his first 3 pointer. Afterwards, we had no energy. Manu IMO at first tried to take control and be aggresive by taking it to the rim. Unfortunately, he had it blocked twice in a row. After that, he didn't take a single drive to the basket. But still, it was a good night for Manu. He wasn't as rusty as i hoped. Anyways, our runs did came in spurts and we didn't play a good defense.

And I really hate our small lineup. It might be good in short spurts, but not for extended stretches.
