wryano | Spurs

We can’t be dropping 20 point leads just because Wemby isn’t on the floor

to be completely fair to our guys… this wasn’t really a regular “blown lead” game.

Mitch used this game and the 20 point lead to experiment with a small-ball lineup which we haven’t seen ONCE all season.

clearly it didn’t work, but if he just stuck with our regular Wemby-less rotation, we probably would’ve won.

BcT_g | SAS

7 | 8 hours ago

I’m pretty sure small ball was used before, it’s the go-to 2nd line up when one of Wemby/Kornet is out after Olynyk became unplayable

kuhzada | Spurs

6 | 9 hours ago

Mitch loves doing that, it was pretty clear with KJ playing the 5 that a win was secondary here.

Sucks for the fans because we wanna see our squad winning, but there’s a silver lining here in that Mitch being confident enough to experiment against the 3-time MVP is huge for us.

Incredible game from the Nuggets, not being phased by getting in an deep deficit is the mark of championship DNA.

The Spurs definitely got rattled in the 3rd and lost sight of ball movement and cohesive defense by the time the 4th rolled around. Castle had a monster performance though, nice to see the 3 ball coming along.

No shame in losing to Jokic and Murray both going nuclear. GG!

I know it’s the common refrain, but the refs really fucked up the flow in the 3rd. No clue what was going on there but it fucked up the rhythm you had.

By far the biggest problem with officiating rn imo. I haven’t looked at the numbers but I feel like I see so many games where the whistle gets lopsided in the 2nd/3rd to try and “keep it close” and it just creates these messy-ass games where no one knows what the fuck is going on or what’s a foul. In-game inconsistency is inexcusable.

Still gotta win those esp in the 4th, gonna be tough to out clutch murray/jokic

Nuggets shot 1-16 from three in the first 18 minutes of the game and still won. I know Wemby was out, but it’s really encouraging to see that the Nuggets can still grind out wins when they’re shooting horribly. Also, Jamal straight up cooked the Spurs.

Yeah Murray was absolute bonkers tonight. I feel like I can go months without seeing someone make shots inside the paint like he did today. He’d drive and two, even three people would contest yet he’d fling it up there and I thought for sure he was just trying to draw a foul, yet I’d watch that ball come down and sink nothing but net. His touch and the angles he uses are elite.

I thought Malone was holding this team back for years. Adelman is more experimental from my perspective but I’m sure we’ll see some conservatism getting to the end of the season. With a talent like Jokic coaching decisions are pretty hard to identify or criticize.

toomuchsoysauce | Spurs

20 | 9 hours ago

I feel like Mitch was trying something specifically tonight and that’s why he wasn’t playing Bryant. He would’ve been so valuable to slow down Murray especially on that run, but Mitch didn’t do it. If there were more games like this, I’d be worried, but losses like this at this point are also incredibly valuable to a young team.

raivetica20 | Spurs

14 | 9 hours ago

I think CB can sometimes get a little overzealous on defense, and veterans like Jokic can really exploit that. I also think he sometimes doesn’t quite know where he’s supposed to be on offense, and he gets a little too hesitant. That’s not what you want on a night like tonight where the offense started to feel a little more disjointed as the game went on. Risky move either way I guess.

He’s good as a bench center getting occasional block and feasting on lob dunk setups. Other than that I rarely see him produce his own shots even if he gets deep into position.

ImplodingKittens12 | Spurs

12 | 9 hours ago

Yeah he’s solidly a bench level player. He’s serviceable for 10-15 minutes a game when wemby needs a break, but he’s nowhere near starting level. The gap in center was definitely felt tonight.

mercfan3

35 | 9 hours ago

People need to remember this fourth quarter when they start eulogizing the Nuggets.

They still have best player in the world. Why do we pretend otherwise. And they have an All Star at guard who is capable of taking over games and very good role players.

Cam Johnson? The kid that shot 44% from 3 in the finals. The guy who was a beloved starter on a 65 win team…yeah, he’s a good player. He’s been hurt, he hasn’t quite adjusted, but we all know he’s a good player. Not sure why people get dumb about him.

Aaron Gordon..isn’t he the type of guy every contender wants? Energy..3 and D…

Braun…I know I saw him have a major impact on a championship as a rookie..

And there are plenty others.

This is a championship caliber roster - they’ve just been injured. And if they are healthy going into the playoffs, they certainly have a shot at coming out of the West.

As a Spurs fan, I would like them to be OKC’s problem in the playoffs.

Now I do think the Spurs should have won this. They stopped attacking and started jacking threes once the Nuggets started hitting some shots. Mitch made some bad rotation and adjustment choices. And I wish they got the win for Castle. But hopefully it’s a lesson learned from all accounts.

bwehx

17 | 9 hours ago

Completely agree with you. There’s a lot of hubbub around the Nugget’s faults right now, but the real issue was injuries this season. They are a scary playoff team if everyone is healthy when it starts.

According to the radio here (Denver) Nuggets didn’t even get into San Antonio until 3am so this was an extra brutal back-to-back. It doesn’t account for as much as not needing to face Wemby but that was just a good win overall for the Nuggets no matter what due to that turnaround.

Looking forward to Saturday =)

30, 20, 10 game on the second night of a back to back (with travel) is nuts. Jamal woke up and hit some great shots, but holy hell the refs ruined any flow the game had to it….somebody needs to tell the league office this is supposed to be an entertainment industry

HB was great. It should’ve been Keldon who barely played. He was horrific tonight.

It’s probably hard for him to do a whole lot when he’s guarding Jokic on defense. Dealing with that and trying to front him every possession or hold up against a back down is utterly exhausting to the point where he probably doesn’t have a whole lot to give on the offensive end.

should still play more tho right? he was good from what i saw in the first half

The fact that the Spurs had this game this competitive without one of the top 3 players in the league playing is insane. Contenders in the West for years to come

There were so many OKC and Lakers hatewatchers in the game thread in the 1st half.. Tough night for them.

Jokic should count as 2-3 players honestly. That being said, refs try their dam hardest to contain him.

I was in that thread and idk what ur talking about, okc was absolutely rooting for denver. It actually looks weird for you to just lie about this because you want to push some reddit narrative about a team you dislike

We (lakers fans) were rooting for the spurs for sure tho. For obvious reasons

Honestly even without Wemby the second unit are cutting it real close out there. And I’m super surprised with Plumlee, he actually looks solid as a 3rd string center

When was the last time the Nuggets bench had a positive +/-? Seems like they’re always losing the lead

ninkcantdraw | Nuggets

9 | 9 hours ago

you can always tell how long jok sat on the bench by how much we lost the lead (whenever we have a lead) or how wide the gap got. thought this season we would be able to fix it but i feel like its been getting worse as the regular season continues.

56 points in the paint. Plus like 16 and ones they could’ve called in Denver’s favor. Wemby is the MVP

Jokic has gotten back to pre-injury form now. Hes been trending upwards ever since the Knicks game, and now everyone is getting relatively healthy and is looking to shake the rust off (AG). After everything the team has went through this season, we might actually start to hit our stride again in the best time possible

What a disgusting game to watch. We were up 59-39 in the 2nd, and then we got outplayed (not by a lot, but enough) every second until the end of the game. It was a lot worse to watch as a Spurs fan than the score might suggest.

Do you not remember last year’s playoffs?…. They didn’t have more than one days rest until like half way through the second round.

RadioCross

10 | 9 hours ago

The Nuggets had 9 games in a row on 1 day rest, including a fucking afternoon game where they looked dead and ended with 8 pts scored in the 1st quarter. They had 2 days rest finally before G7 vs OKC, but AG pulled his hammy on that 9th game….the Warriors also had 10 games in a row on 1 day rest and lost Steph half way through that stretch. I’ve never seen playoff schedules like that before, I’m surprised how little it gets talked about.

TheMoonWasBlue

3 | 9 hours ago

Yeah you remembered it better than me, I just knew it was ridiculous.

And that’s not even taking into account that they never had more than 1 days rest in like the last 3 weeks of the season before the postseason even started.

In all they went like a month and a half with no more than one day rest

Playoffs are gonna be an interesting one for them, I think they’re gonna need one more season to gain a clutch gene, I think they’ll make a deep playoff run but their offense will just flame out constantly like this

I know +/- is a bit stupid but our rookies plus HB were the only ones in the positive

The Denver Nuggets (41-26) comeback from a 20 point deficit to defeat the San Antonio Spurs (48-18) behind Jokic’s monster 31/20/12 triple double and Murray’s 39 points, 136-131.
