For the Nuggets getting a crucial win in San Antonio should lead to an easy series win in 6 or 7 games, but things could look scary if the Nuggets drop both games in San Antonio where the Spurs are one the NBA’s best home teams with a record of 32-9.

Like all playoff series that are tied 1-1 after the first two games the Nuggets will have to make a statement on the road in San Antonio to come back to Denver with Momentum and a pathway to victory that may include the all important game seven in Denver.

The Nuggets have a good blueprint of how to beat the Spurs if they can simply make shots and play solid defense like they have been so far in the series. The Nuggets can and should win the series but will need players like Barton, Murray and the Nuggets bench to get out of whatever shooting slump they have found themselves in this late in the season.
