This one was always going to be an uphill battle. It’s hard to imagine a worse opponent for the Spurs to face in their current state than the resplendent Denver Nuggets. Fresh off an exciting trade that’s injected new hope and enthusiasm into their already promising campaign, the Nugs are basically on the opposite trajectory of our Spurs. They are manicuring their lawn and we’re next door putting out fires.
The Spurs made us think about it for a little bit there though, didn’t they? The first half, I mean, anyone can hang around with anyone for a half and we’ve been through this little do-si-do enough times to know that you don’t get your hopes up after a hard fought first half.
