I agree. Nazr had an awesome game. How many dunks did he have? Like 5 or 6? I hope he's starting to feel comfortable on the team, and this wasn't just a one time thing

One other positive thing we can look at is that even after we played such a lousy game we still kept it close.

That is one of the most maddening things, that we played a terrible game and still had several chances to win the game. That is the mark of a championship team, if you can win games that you don't have any business winning.

Here is a thought that I had, since the anger of last night subsided. I wonder if the Spurs came into the game feeling the same way that I did, thinking "Oh, we're the Spurs in the playoffs, and because of that, we are going to automatically have another notch and blow these trendy Nuggets out of the water". I know that I felt that way to some extent, and that could be a pretty reasonable explanation for some of the things that happened in the game. I know Koko touched on this subject, and I think that was one of the most important factors.

I can always find negativity out of something, which seems to be my calling card now, and the negativity out of this ezealen is that Denver didn't play their best. Even with both teams playing at their best we are the better team, but there's just too many mental/physical lapses right now for us to be playing at a really high level. The Spurs can certainly play better, but so can Denver.

I know...I realized that too...I'm just trying to find some sort of positive side to this.

Re: Playoffs - Game 1: Denver @ San Antonio

I don't want to disrespect Denver and their fans, because they won that game fair and square, but god dang we had sooo many chances to win that game. We just choked. We had so many open shots, and its not like their defense was clamping down on us. IDK what was bothering us, but there is no way we should not score a basket in 8 or 9 minutes, especially when we have multiple point blank wide open shots. The shot that really irked me was when Tony had a clear path to the basket on the right side(I forget how much time was left), and instead of attacking the basket hard, he settled for an 8-10 foot floater, that didnt go in. We played ****ty. If we want to even think about winning a game this series, we better shape up and play like we deserve to be in the playoffs. Our defense was porous, and our 4th Quarter offense was pathetic. I'm disgusted with this team right now.

Well, kind of, just because of his presence in the paint on the defensive end. A fully healthy Rasho would have helped, not a gimpy one.

No. Nazr did more than just replace him.

Re: Playoffs - Game 1: Denver @ San Antonio

Yeah, I am pretty sure that Rasho would not have been knocking down shots and he isn't the one that handles the ball, so he wouldn't have anything to do with the turnovers. It would have been nice to have him, but with the great job that Mohammed did, he would not have helped the main problems that we had.

Let me re-phrase this:



Rasho's absence didn't cause us to lose, but a healthy Rasho would have helped the cause.

Re: Playoffs - Game 1: Denver @ San Antonio

Rasho would have helped, but he is not the reason we lost. We just played horribly. Mohammed filled in nicely, but he is not near the defensive presence that Rasho is. He doesn't rotate weakside as well, and doesn't step up and fill the lane. He has great block numbers sometimes, but he isn't the defensive presence Rasho is, and that would have helped us last night.
