Projected Starting Lineups:







Reserves:









Got to finish this one right here, right now. There's no reason why Denver should win two games in SA in this series, so we need to buckle down and defend our home floor. It all starts with defense again, and although we won game 4 in a high scoring affair, I feel more comfortable with the score down in the 80's-90's. The main thing here is that we get good performances out of Duncan and Parker, who seem to be on an "every-other night" streak in this series. I think we've sucked the life out of Denver at this point, and unless we completely stink in this game, we'll finish it off.




Koko's Key's to Victory:



- Keep Denver off the offensive boards. We can't give them multiple chances to score, so we need to box them out and grab the defensive rebounds.


- Keep attacking the glass. We can't get stiff or scared to go in the paint because Denver has been physical down there, so it's important to keep attacking the glass.


- The bench. Our bench has been absolutely fantastic, and it needs to continue.




Prediction: Spurs 98, Nuggets 89

i think the spurs will finish this series already. they really should just shut down denver and dont let it go to game 6. the spurs needs rest for the next series. it's important for them be rested.

Now that the Sixers are out of the playoffs I'll be rooting for the Spurs to win it all.

Let's go Spurs!!

Koko, you took the words right out of my mouth... I think we have sucked the life out of the Nuggets and I really don't think they will put up much of a fight tonight, if we come out fast and put pressure on them early on...although, if our boys have that attitude, we could be looking to head to Denver for Game 6, so we need to be as focused as if we are tied 2-2...


As far as Denver's confidence goes, I really don't see how they can have much more at this point...I think I may have mentioned this in another thread, but in this series, we have beaten them in every possible way...In Game 2, we blew them out....In Game 3, we played slow and beat them in the end...In Game 4, it was high scoring, but we broke their hearts by thouroughly trouncing them in the OT...I mean, if I am Denver, I am trying to figure out if there IS another way for me to win a game...


I think the end of Game 4 really proves this...There was Kenyon Martin with his head in his lap on the bench and Carmelo bent over at half court, thinking about how this one got away....they are broken right now, guys, and I would love to see us come out tonight and put our foot on their necks, so that we can get some rest going into the next round...


I think we do.



Prediction:

Spurs 95
Nuggets 78

this is a big gm... we need to win it to prepare for seattle. i thinks its great timeing cause if we win this we will have probally have 3 days off, seattle would have 1 more day wich would make them a little more rusty, that one day could make a diffrence. i would like to to focus on the seattle series and i think the spurs would to. i think we might be trailling or it will be close in the begaing but at the end we win.

I don't think much of Denver's chances of winning tonight. They are discouraged and don't really have the right attitude(as a whole) to keep this series going. I wouldn't be suprised if we blew them out, if we play reasonably well. Duncan doesn't need to have a monster game, but we need to establish him as a threat early on, especially if they don't double team him. We do however need good defense and contributions from all our role players.

Prediction:
Spurs 101
Nuggets 87

I'm going to say it's going to be a tough game for both teams. Close until the end, but Spurs experiance and front court are going to seal the deal and send them to the next round. I'm half tempted to bet all my points.... Thats a lot.

All the moment is with the Spurs now and the crowd is going to be going crazy. I really think it's going to be a blow out.
