how is parker and/or ginobili playing btw???
i havent seen any of the spurs game lately. anybody been watching they're games? are they 100% and just underachieving? or still hurt and being kept on the bench? i see their numbers and it's kinda low.
dont get me wrong. i hate the spurs! and i pick nuggs on this one. im just trying to get more info about spurs as it will make me decide to pound on nuggets or play my normal.
one more thing that's holding me back to pound on the nuggets is melo. it seems like the current trend with nba teams right now is fukking with people's minds (betting public in particular). any star player on any night on any team could have a dayoff on a 30minute notice to the public prior to gametime. if u follow these kind of news, you'd know what im talking about. questionable to playing, played last game to DNP!
another note ~ parker and the spurs got billups number. see excerpt..
but i think billups being surrounded with better offensive players this time will get the better of parker. if not, i need melo to step up bigtime for the nuggs to win su and ats.Neither Parker nor Ginobili was in the lineup during the Spurs' first game against Denver this season. Rookie George Hill had 20 points in that game for San Antonio, but Duncan was held to just 12 in the Nuggets' 91-81 win on Nov. 19.
Billups had 22 points and six assists in that meeting, but he's historically struggled versus Parker and the Spurs. In 11 regular-season games against Parker since arriving in Detroit in 2002-03, Billups is averaging 13.5 points on just 35.6 percent shooting.
Parker is averaging 16.5 points on 49.7 percent shooting in those matchups.
San Antonio lost in both of its trips to Denver last season.
