Nuggets at Spurs

H-Diesel503 · 12-05-09, 01:05 PM

i like Denver and the points. You dont get that very often. Additionally, much like my analysis of Boston vs. Spurs a couple days ago, the spurs still havent beaten a legit playoff team this year. Their recent success has been against 2nd tier teams that are crap. I could see Spurs finally mustering up the energy and defense to finally get a legit win at home, but until they can prove they are capable of beating an elite team, then i am taking Denver and the points. Additionally, I think Denver will be giving full effort today and dialed in. BOL.

well it looks like there is some RLM on the Spurs. Really like Denver in this spot as it does seems like the boston game. Spurs just haven't beaten any quality opponents. Denver has a lot of firepower and not sure if san antonio can keep up. Line is up to -4 at some places but at that amount I would take Denver for sure. If the spurs do win I don't think it will be more than 2-3 pts.

Laker I hear ya ... but do we really think Old Ass Spurs can keep up tempo AND scpring with Nuggets? I know Spurs are good at home, but they are really old and unathletic.

I dont have a lean on this game. Some info that I have is that the Nuggets stink on the road. The spurs missed alot of shots the other night that were just rolling around the rim or popping out. The spurs had a terrible night from the ft line. The celtics have rondo and way better defenders than denver who kept parker from getting to the hole. Spurs play way better at home than on the road. The nuggets might win but if i was betting I would take san an.

im taking the points here! go nuggets!

nuggets working in all cylinders while spurs are out of sync. besides if this game is close, id rather be sitting on the +pts! ...and yeah, spurs sucks!

The Nuggets are going to place special emphasis on this game as they know they need to prove they can beat good teams on the road. I just can't pass up a chance to get the Nuggets +4.

Nuggets role players are average at best on the road, verses superior at home. Game is either spurs or pass IMO

Both teams play slow games with high % shooting. Denver tends to start slow on the road, playing a tighter game early before opening it up in the second half a bit. Their 1Q & 1H road defenses are ranked 1st & 8th. San Antonio also plays a tight 1H defensively (ranked 7th in 1H home defense), and scores most of their points in the 2nd & 3rd quarters.

I'd say this game will be tight going into the 4th and be decided defensive stoppages and clutch shooting from San Antonio. I don't know if I'd trust the SAN -4 though. I think the 1H Under and the SAN ML for the game are the best plays on this one.

pray that the spurs win by exactly 4 pts! u win both bets!
3 or 5 and u win 1 unit
spurs dont cover, u lose .10 unit
nuggets dont cover, u lose .30 unit

mihaita666 · 12-05-09, 06:39 PM

spurs wins, denver isn't as good as boston, and i think u'll see that when they face each other...but spurs to lose 2 in a row, at home ? don't think so ?

If I were to bet on this one, I'd be on Spurs.. Nuggets have yet to prove themselves consistent, esp. on the road. Spurs are rested and would have have some Free throw practice.

Close game. I'm rooting for Denver to cover the spread, but for San Antonio to win the game.

Glad I went with the Nuggets +3.5

W0lfy · 12-05-09, 11:01 PM

Spurs are pretty pathetic.

ukbsktbll · 12-05-09, 11:02 PM

Missed the over by 1 pt wow

SportsTerminator · 12-05-09, 11:02 PM

Looks like the Spurs can only beat mediocre teams...

Glad I stayed away form this game, it could have honestly been anyone's W, but Spurs proving once again they're not a serious playoff contender.

Melo came up big at the 2nd half
