No more 3's for Finley. Step in or something if you're not going to drive.

[Manu20]

Manu came off the bench and Finley started.

It looks like Nick will not play tonight. Time to step up Beno!

[bonesinaz]

Thank God for Manu. The Nuggets have 7 off rebounds to the Spurs 1. This has to change for the Spurs to win.

I can't see the game, who is officiating?

[Manu20]

Damn, Spurs getting outrebounded 13-21!

[bigbendbruisebrother]

Damn, Spurs getting outrebounded 13-21!

One thing about the Spurs--they always have something for Pop to go Serbian about at halftime.

[Spurologist]

well the coaches can put him more into consideration if manu gets 50pts

true but unfair for those who have been waiting to get in if the coaches decide to put him in

For those watching, was he was acting like a goon again. That pisses me off.

he was when he played the suns and scored them

[bonesinaz]

Spurs have to grab the boards in the 2nd. They were out-rebounded 30-19 in the first half.

[Ginobili_20_gold_medalist]

You would think the Spurs would be up for this game to keep that mental edge over the Nuggets.

[manu]

[Obstructed_View]

Beef Jerky Time!

[Solid D]

Manu was incredible as playmaker tonight. He ran the point a lot when Najera was guarding him. He stole the ball (4x), including a sweet alley oop he went up to pull down. He made great passes and best of all, he silenced the crowd....who had booed Manu every time he touched the ball into the 3rd period.

Manu helped to get the Spurs even at 57 and then he, Horry (2 straight 3s) and Oberto's stong play teed up the game for Timmy to go to work and finish it for the Spurs in the 4th.

[NZHayden]

cool we won, good to see marks got some game time....










a whole 34 seconds!
