Game 47 Preview & Thread: Nuggets at Spurs (11am MST)

Denver Nuggets at San Antonio Spurs, Jan 31, 2010 11:00 AM MST


Duncan_team_mediumFriday night the Nuggets lost on the road in Oklahoma City, while the Spurs took care of business at home against the surprising Memphis Grizzlies. The Nuggets arrived later than expected in San Antonio due to the brutal ice/snow storms in Oklahoma and today's game is an early one ... will be interesting to see how the Nuggets handle the early tip.

Star-divide

 

 

 

 

 

The particulars ...

Records:
Denver:
31-15 (21-3 at home, 10-12 on the road)
San Antonio: 
27-18 (19-9 at home, 8-9 on the road)
Denver current streak: Lost 1. They are 8-2 in their last 10 games.
San Antonio current streak: Won 2. They are 5-5 in their last 10 games.
Injuries:
Denver:
Carmelo Anthony (sprained left ankle) is a game time decision.
San Antonio: Tony Parker (sprained left ankle) is out today.

Opposition's Take: Pounding the Rock

 

Just as the Nuggets were starting to get right on the road (and back close to .500) they turned in a lackadaisical performance at the Ford Center against the Thunder. The key to beating the Spurs in Texas ... effort and flawless basketball.

San Antonio is taking a hit nationally for not having the same defensive team that they were known for in years past. You also hear that Manu Ginobili isn't his reckless self anymore and with Tony Parker out today the Nuggets should be favored to win, but the Spurs are coming off two big home wins against the Atlanta Hawks and Grizzlies. 

I'm going to keep this post short because it's such an early game, but here are a few things to look for today (if you are awake right now).

Keep on eye on:

  • Tim Duncan: the big guy is having an incredible offensive season. You hear that Timmy wears down on the defensive end because he's putting forth so much effort to score points, but look for him to have a usual Duncan day against the Nuggets.
  • DeJuan Blair: the "coulda been Nugget" hasn't scored in double digits for 7 games, but he has posted 4 games with double digit rebounds during that span. In his first game against Denver Blair turned in an unimpressive 4 points and 2 rebounds in just 13 minutes. Since that time (December 5th) Blair has worked his way into the starting lineup (at times) and has found a bit more of a groove in his NBA life.
  • Manu Ginobili: when you watch the Spurs do you not watch or think about Manu? Will he be driving and flopping? Will his shot be falling? Manu has caused the Nuggets pain for years and it's no wonder why they tried to sign him away from San Antonio once upon a time in a "if you can't beat 'em, join 'em" effort. The Spurs just wouldn't be the same team that Nuggets fans love to hate if they didn't have Duncan and Manu. Admit it.
  • Carmelo Anthony: will he play? Will he be rusty? Can Melo come in and give the Nuggets the shot of life they were lacking against the Thunder? I hope so.
  • Ty Lawson: call it a rookie wall or a bit of a mini disappearance or the fact that Afflalo has earned more minutes, but Lawson hasn't had a Lawson game changing game for a while and this would be a great time to get going as the Spurs don't have the speed to stay with him.
  • Passing the ball and going inside: The Nuggets have gone to a bit of a catch and shoot offense the last two games and they need to snap out of that today. I'd love to see Denver get out and run some fast break offense, but that all starts with an intense defensive effort.

The Nuggets can finish 2-1 on this mini three-game road trip with a win today before they face a scrappy Sacramento KIngs team that has posted a 2-0 record on the Nuggets this season. With the third game against the Kings coming off (for the third time) the second of a back-to-back, it'd be nice to grab another win in Texas.

I like ABC broadcasts ... now let's see if the Nuggets do.

Im not optimistic in this one...

I hope K-mart does a good job on Duncan…

i think if we have energy we could win...

I think if melo plays he should have a great game cuz no1 on the court can cover him. Another key would be lawson, if plays fast and runs the break like the last game in SA we should win.

Lawson? I have a novel idea...

It is time to get AC back in the line-up (That’s right – I am the last person in Denver who actually believes in AC). With a lack luster performance in OKC and two poorly timed turnovers, Ty needs some more time on the practice floor to gain a sense of ownership of the bench. He has been coming out looking lost and uninvolved. On the other hand, AC can run that offense and take that two handed 15 foot jumper when needed (and the occasional well timed 3-ball).

I wish he could, but Ty hasn’t been running the bench crew. We need the stability that AC offers, and we need it now.

by spokenwar on Jan 31, 2010 8:57 AM MST reply actions  

Not the LAST person!

Given the correct amount of minutes AC is perfect and has played great! I think you’re right. Play some AC!!!!

by SternfluffsKobe on Jan 31, 2010 9:52 AM MST via mobile up reply actions  

I think -

AC has been sitting on the bench thinking about his game and how he would play if given the chance. I really believe that.

by spokenwar on Jan 31, 2010 9:57 AM MST up reply actions  

Lawson before AC....always

Youd bench Lawson after one bad game(everyone played bad by the way) and play AC who has played bad for the last year and a half? No thanks. Tys a rooke and will have a few bad games, but he provides a whole new dimension off the bench that AC could never bring. AC plays if Chauncey or Lawson are hurt. Thats it.

Rebounding and turnovers

Will play a HUGE factor today. I’m expecting Nene and Bird to get their heads out of their asses and start fighting for those f^cking rebounds. Hopefully J.R. can continue playing like he has been. I wouldn’t mind seeing Carter play. The bench seems to do better when he’s on the court. I believe Ty has hit the “Rookie Wall”, considering he’s been looking a little lost. The Nuggets SHOULD win, but we’ve been wrong before. Go Nuggets!

by Mini Hulk on Jan 31, 2010 9:58 AM MST reply actions  

I fear a huge beatdown today.

Reasons:
- Melo still a question mark
- Early start time. This is actually a huge concern. I remember in the playoffs a couple of years ago many players complained about these early start times and that it throws their whole routines off. We suffered a nasty whooping IIRC.

That said, GO NUGGETS!!!!

Because it's become tiresome

Without Melo this is going to be a good, close game

I’m excited to watch it. I’ll have to DVR the final half-hour or so, though.

As painful as it was to watch the Nuggets against the Thunder, it was the perfect game to remind me and other Nuggets fans just how much Melo means to the Nuggets. Without any other scorers to worry about, the Thunder were able to smother Billups.

And, I want to point out to all the people critical of Melo — I’m talking to you, Feinstein — that the Nuggets are perfectly capable of playing uninspired ballstopping isolation basketball without passing, the sort of ball that fans constantly criticize Melo for. Denver got away with that against Houston but the hungry Thunder made the Nuggets pay.

With or without Melo the key to winning any basketball game is the same: be active underneath the hoop. Rebound and cut to the basket. I’m sick of seeing our bigs standing there. Maybe they are tired. I tend to blame GK’s tight rotation for this. Let’s get Malik Allen some more minutes so Nene and Martin can hustle.

Mostly I’m talking about Nene. Martin’s been pretty awesome the last month or so.

We are 13-5 in games that KMart has attempted a three-pointer in. We are 18-10 in games in which he hasn’t.

Chiming in

Is anyone else disgusted with the way the refs call charges/blocks these days? It’s absolutely absurd! On one end you have a defender, Mason, who’s obviously not set and gets a charging call, and on the other end you JR who is set (both feet squarely on the ground), and it gets called a block.

beating the spurs, on the road, without melo? Best road win of the year so far I think.

Double doubles for chauncey and k mart

hopefully Melo plays tomorrow

chauncey needs a break. playing a ton of minutes and needing to carry the scoring. Kmart is beasting and JR is getting back on track. good signs

JR Haters lay off the sauce

The Nuggets are 11-3 in this stretch consisting of JR’s slump. JR’s time is up. Yeah… not so much

by runningdonut on Jan 31, 2010 1:32 PM MST reply actions  

What has impressed me

Is that since that “almost suspension” he’s been working harder on defense. And amazingly, his shot has been falling.
My gripe with JR is that when his shot isn’t falling, he gives up on the rest of the game as well. When your shot isn’t falling is EXACTLY the time that you need to figure out what else you can do to help your team.

Man that was a great win

Billups, kmart, JR, and afflalo were all huge. You can’t ask for much better than beating the spurs twice on their home floor. Back to kmart, when he is hitting that open jumper from the free throw line our team becomes that much better. Teams are used to just leaving him out there but when those shots are falling our offense improves drastically. Overall, a great win: 32-15 now. Go celtics!

Grrrrr I slept through this game

I stayed up til 5 am watching the Aussie open final in case anyone wants to know why on Earth I was asleep at 1. But I gladly wake up to find out the Nugs are up 12 with 20 secs left, real nice win. Good response from the OKC game, 2-1 w/o Melo on that brutal little roadies is very acceptable. Hopefully Melo is a go tomorrow, oh and I’m so honored my team is allowed to play in the same double-header as the Lakers and Celtics(great amount of sarcasm).

Maybe you have to install some plug-ins?

it’s very high quality, the only thing I didn’t like was that it is on about a 2 minute delay, for instance yesterday I was watching the Syracuse-DePaul game and had to make sure not to look at the TV screen because it would update the score. Also I should say it isn’t free, it is paid for under your provider package if you use it or not.

Birdman has absolutely no lift in his legs. He really could use the all star break or a couple games off to get some fresh legs. Also maybe some less minutes would be helpful. Its tough to be an energy guy when you have no energy

The STIFF LIST (as of 8/30 by Andrew)

STIFF #1: J.R. SMITH 
Remember when I wrote that J.R.'s "nine lives may be up"? Well, that was last January. With Denver police looking closely at J.R. allegedly attacking former 14er Damien Lolar at a recent Pepsi Center shoot-around, it's clear that J.R. will never mature and it's time to move him.

STIFF #2: LEON ROSE AND WORLDWIDE WES
After commandeering LeBron's departure from Cleveland, Rose and Wes are allegedly working to move Melo out of Denver. Let's hope the Nuggets do what's best for Denver and not these two franchise-destroyers.

STIFF #3: RIC BUCHER
The man who once guaranteed that Kobe Bryant had played his last game in a Lakers uniform has been gravy-training on other reporters' Melo-related stories all summer long. Who does Bucher think he is, a sports blogger?

STIFF #4: MARCUS JORDAN
Like father, like son. Last week, His Airness's 19-year-old son tweeted about dropping $50k at the Aria casino in Las Vegas prompting an investigation.

STIFF #5: INDIANA PACERS
Brandon Rush has been suspended five games for violating the NBA's drug policy and 2010 draftee Lance Stephenson was recently arrested on assault charges. Larry Bird sure is doing a great job re-shaping the Pacers' already shoddy image.
