San Antonio -7.5
Season series: 2-2, but both of the Nuggets' wins
came when Spurs star Tim Duncan was out with a
sprained right ankle. Do you really think Duncan
is ''75-80%'' as he is telling the media? Come on,
man, he and Shaq both managed to miss time late in
the season, prior to the playoffs. It's part of the
great con. Get the other team thinking that it has
an edge with your big guy hurting.
Meanwhile, Denver coach George Karl made it clear
down the stretch that he wanted to play the Sonics,
one of his former teams, in the first round, but the
revenge-minded coach couldn't guide his team to the
sixth seed. Letdown? Denver is a front-line oriented
team playing against a good interior D. They brick
from deep. Voshon Lenard is back to supposedly
help them from the outside. Sorry, but...who is he?
