Spurred Stars


People spread gossip and believe what they must
while I slam dunk chumps and make em bite the dust…

All the billing yesterday was for the battle in the Western Conference between you Nuggets and the dreaded Spurs. After halftime, the showdown became an exhibition game as the top stars were bound to the bench.

Spurs coach Gregg Popovich made a curious decision to not play Manu Floppy Ginolbli, Tim Who Me Duncan, and Tony Oui Oui Parker. While the Nugs were without Kenyon Martin who was suffering with tonsillitis and Chauncey Billups with a bum ankle in the 2nd Half.

What resulted was a game better suited for October as the Spurs had some cat named Roger Mason, or Roger Staubach, Desmond Mason, Mason Crosby, or Roger Troutman…some dude jacking up 30 points. There was some red head guy out there, some guy who looked like former NBAer Kurt Thomas, I think the midfielder for some Croatian soccer team, and Jacque Vaughn all played for the Spurs.

And the Nugs still let it get too close, as an ugly game that the Powder Blue Patrol never put away. Melo came through as the offense slowed without Billups and JR Smith chucked more bad shots than your 21st birthday. In the end, a key win as the team embarks on a massive nine game road trip and perhaps a chance to pick up some steam in the rugged Western Conference.
