Game Blog: Spurs @ Celtics - Feb. 8

[Amuseddaysleeper]

I think teams are hitting a solid % against the Spurs because the Spurs allow a lot of points in the paint without a secondary shotblocker for the Spurs

[m33p0]

Rivers was talking shit in that timeout. Completely disrespecting the Spurs. Talking like the Spurs are a scrub team.
he knows defense can keep them in the game. it's up to the spurs to make their shots. but they haven't faced manu in the third yet.

[EricB]

So you are saying the Spurs defense this year has been the same, but teams are just consistently hitting tough shots?


Uh no, but the defense isn't as bad as you think.

I've seen alot of games where teams are making some tough shots. Can't do anything about it.

Take a valium.

[EricB]

Yeah 2007 was a great examp..... Oops.

[WildcardManu]

we're missing a lot of rotations, as usual..allowing open shots, not defending screens..

Well, lets hope this coming second stretch of the season they make the necessary adjustments.

[DPG21920]

everybody knows we need more work defensively..we're still one of the better defensive teams in the NBA, as shown by our #4 ranking..we're just not playing "Spurs D"..the reason is Bowen being on the bench, and poor perimeter D..I don't buy the interior D argument..it's important, but not the entire reason..

we're missing a lot of rotations, as usual..allowing open shots, not defending screens..

Exactly, this is a game where I fully expected the defense to step up. They are playing a nice game all around (energy, offense, decision making, adjustments) but I keep wondering when they are going to pick up the defense.

The number 4 ranking is not accurate. That is not adjusted for pace. Like Pop says, look at opponents FG% and look at defensive efficiency. We drop big time.

no, the number 4 ranking is adjusted for pace, that's where I got it..we rank 4th in defense per 100 possessions..we're behind Boston, Cleveland, and Orlando..

I agree about the opposing FG% though, that needs to go down..

I don't think there is a team better than us defensively outside of those 3 teams though..LA isn't better defensively, Houston has fallen off, so has Detroit..

[crc21209]

I think the D will kick up in the 2nd half of the Season and in the Playoffs because Bowen will see his minutes go up.

[Ice009]

:lol

Is he supposed to kiss their ass?

That's the kind of thing you say against scrub teams. Are the Spurs a scrub team?

[FreeMason]

That D-Bag Barry Brother, "Celtics are losing b/c of the hard hit from the Lakers loss, just like last year"

Stuart Scrub: Coming up, circle jerk from the MSG!

[jmard5]

Here's hoping we pick up our D in the second half.

[spurastic]

Dont worry guys. Whenever the Lakers beat the Celtics, the C's usually go on a 6 or 7 game losing streak. You can thank us later...:toast

So the Universe revolves around the Lakers?:lol

[DPG21920]

Uh no, but the defense isn't as bad as you think.

I've seen alot of games where teams are making some tough shots. Can't do anything about it.

Take a valium.

You have to be the gayest poster on this site. You know very little about basketball and are like a whiny girl. It is called a discussion, I am not upset, so why do you always have your little remarks. "Drink Drano, take a valium..." Grow up and maybe more people would enjoy your company.

[Spurs Brazil]

we're missing a lot of rotations, as usual..allowing open shots, not defending screens..

it's tough to play good D when Mason and Finley get big minutes, since they're both poor team defenders..

Mason started well on D but in the last month or so he's always late on rotations

[m33p0]

manu will go el pollo loco in the third.

[Fundamental]

Dont worry guys. Whenever the Lakers beat the Celtics, the C's usually go on a 6 or 7 game losing streak. You can thank us later...:toast

Lakers fans are a joke. Win a championship or STFU already.

[HarlemHeat37]

if the Celtics are losing because of "the Lakers hit", that's pretty pathetic for a championship team..it makes no sense..I realize it happened earlier in the season, but it would be sad if it's attributed to that..

[HarlemHeat37]

Mason started well on D but in the last month or so he's always late on rotations

Mason was definitely good earlier in the season..he's been poor with Tony and Manu in the lineup..

he definitely has more ability than he's shown lately..the problem is defensive chemistry..he still has bad tendencies from his days as a Wizard, who were always a poor defensive team..

everybody needs to remember that we're 10-1 when Bowen plays 25 or more minutes..he leads the team in defensive +/-..he's a big difference maker..

[DAF86]

Too bad they beat the Knicks the night after

[timvp]

Pretty good first half. The defense for the Spurs has to pick up though because their offense isn't going to sustain. Bonner will likely dry up and with the Celtics trapping Parker, the Spurs will have to make offense later in the shot clock than they like.

Good start so far though . . .

[InK]

if the Celtics are losing because of "the Lakers hit", that's pretty pathetic for a championship team..it makes no sense..I realize it happened earlier in the season, but it would be sad if it's attributed to that..

It think it had more to do with chasing the 72-10 then the lakers.

[YODA]

Bonner driving the lane like 3-4 times already. Who the hell he thinks he is? lol
unfreaking real. Gotta love it.

[Pauleta14]

It's going to be a tough night for Tony, but it's fine!
The Celtics want to dble team him? Fine!!
Tim and Manu are gonna eat them up!!

[Spurminator]

As a reminder, New York is the center of the universe.

[InK]

As a reminder, New York is the center of the universe.

And Kobe.

[HarlemHeat37]

New York is the center of the universe, because I live here..

[Manufan909]

Wow, Bonner is hot right now. And when was the Hairston sighting, nba.com has him in for 3 seconds. And I hope Fab and Hairston/Bowen start the 3rd. I'm tired of Pop sticking to a 3 big rotation, give Fab a chance. And shouldn't Hill have a steal? Because he blocked Rondo and stole it from him in the exact same time. If tipins count for 2 stats, so should block/steals.

[peskypesky]

everybody needs to remember that we're 10-1 when Bowen plays 25 or more minutes..he leads the team in defensive +/-..he's a big difference maker..

yep. and that's exactly why Pop is saving Bowen for the playoffs. Pop knows it's defense that wins Championships, and Bowen is our best perimeter defender, and he ain't no spring chicken.

[DeadlyDynasty]

So the Universe revolves around the Lakers?:lol

Yes:D

[peskypesky]

New York is the center of the universe, because I live here..

yo, me too. i live in Harlem.

[DeadlyDynasty]

Bonner will finish w/ 19 points

[Nocioni]

nooo!

[HarlemHeat37]

I'd like to see Duncan on KG at this point..

[HarlemHeat37]

bad shots to start the half..Mason wasn't set, Duncan forcing..

wow, what a bad call against TD..

[Spurs Brazil]

Bad shot Mason

[peskypesky]

bad start to the 3rd

[Rummpd]

Nice flat start Spurs.

[HarlemHeat37]

already a 6-0 run..we lose leads so easily..

[peskypesky]

goddamn

[tomtom]

bad signs :(

[peskypesky]

choke

[Texas_Ranger]

great start.

[Quiet Strength]

Wow the spurs came out terrible

[tlongII]

Tie game.

[Juanobili]

Damn Ittt

[Ice009]

This is the exact fucking start I did NOT WANT. For fucks sake Spurs.

[Spurs Brazil]

8-0 run for the Celtics

Time out Pop

[Nocioni]

if the spurs cant win this at least injure someone from the celtics

[HarlemHeat37]

we really don't know how to play with leads..we make losing a lead look so easy..

it's always off bad shots too..

[Capt Bringdown]

Nice elbow by Perkins.

[Amuseddaysleeper]

Yeah 2007 was a great examp..... Oops.

2007 Spurs >>> 2009 Spurs

Oops

Bowen 2007 >>> Bowen 2009

Oops

[crc21209]

I FUCKING KNEW the Spurs would come out like this, god damn it. Lol at Perkins face looking like he was taking a dump on that post move.

[InK]

Lol to Bonner.

[Ice009]

What a gutless start from the Spurs. Never give these guys a fucking day off until they learn to play a game for 48 minutes.

[tlongII]

Looks like Matt Bonner remembered that he's Matt Bonner.

[ace3g]

Spurs just need to fight through the next couple of minutes while the Celtics are allowed to play physical, just like the first half, then take control of the game

[Spursfanfromafar]

8-0 with a lot of frontcourt play by the Celtics. ..hmm.. Popovich is going to bring in KT for some lockdown now..

[peskypesky]

squandering an 8pt half-time lead in about a minute? HORRIBLE

[duncan228]

if the spurs cant win this at least injure someone from the celtics

:td

[Duncan2177]

And of course the spurs come out flat starting the 3rd quarter.:wakeup

[Supergirl]

why the fuck does Perkins get to ram his forearm/elbow into his defender without a call? I'm sorry, did I miss the point when he became a superstar and therefore gets superstar treatment?

[DPG21920]

Too many easy looks for the Celtics. They are getting to where ever they want on the floor. Taking all the shots they love to take. Spurs have to push them out of their comfort zone.

Spurs will pick it up. Would like to see a bit more energy.

[td4mvp21]

You can't start out this slow in third quarters, especially against good teams. I don't know how many times the Spurs have done this over the years and they still do it every game.

[crc21209]

Whats new? Spurs always, always, always blow a 2-8 point lead from the half in the 1st few minutes of the 3rd.

[ManuTP9]

wtf

[Duncan2177]

I FUCKING KNEW the Spurs would come out like this, god damn it. Lol at Perkins face looking like he was taking a dump on that post move.

:lol

[Supergirl]

Celtics come back, we knew they would, get away with some stuff, but they won't play this aggressive for long. Spurs will play through it.

[DeadlyDynasty]

I FUCKING KNEW the Spurs would come out like this, god damn it. Lol at Perkins face looking like he was taking a dump on that post move.

He always looks constipated

[InK]

Kurt ll be in game in a few.

[Capt Bringdown]

we really don't know how to play with leads..we make losing a lead look so easy..


Exactly, who didn't know this was coming?

In previous years, we might add to such a lead - but this year, never.

[DPG21920]

Just have to withstand the energy surge. Happens against good teams.

[Ice009]

Why are we taking jumpers?

[HarlemHeat37]

Parker needs to make those when they actually give him 1 on 1 situations..he calls Rondo overrated, but he isn't backing up his play today..

10-0 run..pathetic..

[Amuseddaysleeper]

Put Ginobili in, take Finley out

[tony09manu]

3rd quarter meldown...

[phyzik]

Spurs cant buy a bucket.

[tomtom]

dear god

[Ice009]

Get manu out there. This is a fucking joke 14-0 run. GUTLESS PLAY.

[Spurs Brazil]

TD bank!

[DeadlyDynasty]

TD stops the bleeding

[phyzik]

Finally, Bowen coming in.

[Amuseddaysleeper]

Mason has really been dissapointing this game

[HarlemHeat37]

fuck Finley..what kind of "great" team has Finley playing more than 15 minutes..get this scrub off my team..

[Death In June]

What the fuck is this shit....why are our fans so pussified that we can't make half the noise in that arena.

[Spursfanfromafar]

Defense takes over.. . Bruce on Pierce.. I hope..

[Capt Bringdown]

Mason has really been dissapointing this game
As has Parker.

[ace3g]

Bonner here to save the day

[Spurs Brazil]

Bonner 2222222222222

[tomtom]

bonner the savior

[DeadlyDynasty]

Spurs forgot how to play d again

[ace3g]

glad pop put Bowen in, he will cool down Allen

[Spurs Brazil]

Rotations are so much better with Bruce

[DPG21920]

hell ya, that was a better defensive possession.

[HarlemHeat37]

this D is pathetic..they're killing us in transition..fuck..

[Nocioni]

whats wrong with parker when few times i watch the spurs parker always getting lots of layups

[tomtom]

wow lucky

[Spurs Brazil]

Manu!!!!!

[Jloyola]

Goooooooooooooooooo Sppppppppppppuuuuuuuuuuuurrrrrrrrrrrrssssssssssss! !!!!!

[DPG21920]

Lets gooooooooooo.

[Spurminator]

Good defensive save by Bonner after the turnover.

[DeadlyDynasty]

pierce offensive foul not called

[hitmanyr2k]

Rotations are so much better with Bruce

Who cares about rotations when the transition defense is complete garbage?

[Spursfanfromafar]

TP : Totally Pathetic..

[phyzik]

Bonner is channeling his inner Chuck Norris this game so far.

[tomtom]

god i hate how pierce uses his fat to push off people haha

[Death In June]

Parker is killing us on both ends, what's wrong with the guy...

[Jloyola]

Bonner for 3!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[DPG21920]

ha.

[HarlemHeat37]

Tony Parker has really disappointed me..he calls Rondo overrated, and then he dissapears vs. Boston..step your fucking game up..

[Spurs Brazil]

Bonner 3333333333333333333333333333333333333333333333

[ace3g]

Bonner banks in a 3!!!

[DeadlyDynasty]

wow, the bank...i guess i was wrong with that pick

[Nocioni]

rondo such great defender he contained mo williams too

[Capt Bringdown]

Pierce can get to rim whenever he likes.

[DPG21920]

nice rotation.

[HarlemHeat37]

that's the franchise right there..Tim fucking Duncan..

[Spurs Brazil]

TD block and layup!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[tomtom]

there we go

[ace3g]

duncan with a nice block and a layup on the other end!!!, like I said all you have to do is fight through the surges where the Celtics are allowed to play physical and you always have a chance

[Amuseddaysleeper]

nice read by Parker to TD

[DPG21920]

Seems the Spurs have withstood the energy surge, now that the game is back to normal, lets see who executes.

[bbarry]

MANU, IF YOU ARE READING THIS YOU NEED TO BE MORE FUCKING AGRESSIVE. DRIVE TO THE RIM MORE. GET SOME FTs TO MAKE THE GAME EASIER FOR YOU.

[BlackSwordsMan]

bonner is gassed

[itzsoweezee]

damn, this is a good game. come on spurs. get some stops

[Supergirl]

Pierce gets away with offensive fouls on multiple trips down the lane. Perkins still getting away with murder.

Still, Spurs only down by 1 even with the refs in the's C's pockets.

[HarlemHeat37]

I really hate how Pop is using Bruce though..I understand conserving his energy, but it's February..he shouldn't be getting minutes when he's out of rhythm..if he's going to limit his minutes, I'd like to see his time spread out throughout the game, not just an insertion in the 2nd half..

[DPG21920]

The officiating has not been bad at all.

[Amuseddaysleeper]

Manu needs to barrel into the rim like he did against GS


Still happy with his play though :tu

[Ice009]

Mason has really been dissapointing this game

Mason needs to step it up offensively and especially defensively. Mason is stepping it down of late. The Spurs are getting better and Mason seems to be getting worse. If Mason don't step up I have no problem trading him for someone like Maggette who can get to the line and has a explosive first step.

[Yogurt210]

all celtics are doing is running down as fast as they can off a missed shot and giving it to garnet, like seriously they are rushing every single shot and relying off adreneline right now. they use like 8 secs off the shot clock everytime.

[Amuseddaysleeper]

I really hate how Pop is using Bruce though..I understand conserving his energy, but it's February..he shouldn't be getting minutes when he's out of rhythm..if he's going to limit his minutes, I'd like to see his time spread out throughout the game, not just an insertion in the 2nd half..

agreed, but now that Bruce is on Allen let's see what happens

[phyzik]

MANU, IF YOU ARE READING THIS YOU NEED TO BE MORE FUCKING AGRESSIVE. DRIVE TO THE RIM MORE. GET SOME FTs TO MAKE THE GAME EASIER FOR YOU.

I kind of doubt that he is reading this for some reason... Oh wait, he is in Boston actually playing a basketball game! :lol

[Supergirl]

Parker is getting hammered every time he steps into the game. And no fouls called, mind you. But he's got, what? 6 assists already?

[crc21209]

Nice little run by the Spurs, just withstand the C's runs.

[Amuseddaysleeper]

Mason needs to step it up offensively and especially defensively. Mason is stepping it down of late. The Spurs are getting better and Mason seems to be getting worse. If Mason don't step up I have no problem trading him for someone like Maggette who can get to the line and has a explosive first step.

I wonder if all the defensive attention Mason has been receiving since he's now a respected 3 point shooter is catching up to him.

He can't finish at the rim and his shot selection has gotten worse over the last few games.

Hopefully he'll figure it out

[Duncan2177]

What the fuck is this shit....why are our fans so pussified that we can't make half the noise in that arena.

Ive always wondered that myself, What is up with that to many grandmas and grandpas in the lower section?

[Ice009]

MANU, IF YOU ARE READING THIS YOU NEED TO BE MORE FUCKING AGRESSIVE. DRIVE TO THE RIM MORE. GET SOME FTs TO MAKE THE GAME EASIER FOR YOU.

I think this would work better if more people on the team attack. it's hard for one player to when no one else is doing it. kinda like when everyone is hitting shots it's easier to hit shots.

[HarlemHeat37]

Manuuuuuuu!!

[phyzik]

Manuuuuu!!

[Spurs Brazil]

Manu tres!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1

[tomtom]

manuu!

[Juanobili]

ahhh come on Tony

[ace3g]

Manu 3!!!!

[HarlemHeat37]

ugh, Parker and Ginobili mix up..good D though..

[Pauleta14]

Tony Parker has really disappointed me..he calls Rondo overrated, and then he dissapears vs. Boston..step your fucking game up..

I think he meant offensively...
TP is not in the flow, he needs to distribute and defend ONLY!!

[Nocioni]

bring me back that 8 point lead!

[WalterBenitez]

74-74 good game, right?

[crc21209]

Ok Bruce I love your D and all, but stop shooting! He's not exactly in his spot spot.

[HarlemHeat37]

that's what happens when Bowen is out of rhythm..he shouldn't be getting his rhythm in the 3rd quarter..

[tomtom]

bowen needs to hit those

[Juanobili]

come on guys, lets get a leaddd

[Capt Bringdown]

Manu can't stay on the court with Allen.

[peskypesky]

c'mon Spurs!!!

[Juanobili]

ahhh shut up

[ace3g]

lol they call bowen for kicking his leg out on a 3, lol, come on refs

[peskypesky]

Bowen kicks Pierce

[tomtom]

wtf...

[FreeMason]

lol bowen

[HarlemHeat37]

LOL what a horrible call against Bruce..fuck Pierce, piece of shit..

[tony09manu]

Uhhh...what did Bowen do?

[Spurs Brazil]

Wtf????

[Spurminator]

That was a pretty minor "kick"...

[Ice009]

Alright Hube you fucker. I hope he's not injured.

[Spursfanfromafar]

Bruce Bowen gets an offensive foul. Now thats well.. silly..

[Juanobili]

ouch

[FreeMason]

ABC: Quick! Lebron has his shirt off, skeet skeet skeet skeet

[peskypesky]

wow. KG blocks TD

[hitmanyr2k]

Weak ass shit Duncan.

[HarlemHeat37]

I fucking hate Duncan's face-up game..he can no longer beat other players with it, he is no longer quick enough..he needs to stick with his post up game and J..it's like he gets bored..

[peskypesky]

tie this shit up

[tony09manu]

I don't understand how Hubie can honestly defend that call...that wasn't dirty. Reputation proceeds the call i guess.

[HarlemHeat37]

Finley is so useless..

[Death In June]

ugly 14 point quarter

[Spurminator]

Dying by the three this quarter

[Jloyola]

Spurs are taking too many jumpshots....... should pound it in to duncan!!!

[WalterBenitez]

OMG Finley, Can we send him back to SA?

[HarlemHeat37]

Duncan with 2 bad plays to end the quarter..smarten up..

[tomtom]

poor 3rd

[Amuseddaysleeper]

If Finley plays a single minute in the fourth quarter the Spurs will be guaranteed to lose.

He is just atrocious

[Spurs Brazil]

Celtics up 76-74 after the 3rd

[Ice009]

Tim What The Fuck Was Tim Doing? We Didn't Even Get A Good Quality Shot To End The Quarter With 7 Seconds Left. Awful Tim, Awful.

[HarlemHeat37]

horrible 3rd quarter..poor shot selection, poor transition D, poor turnovers..

should be a good 4th..hopefully Tony can step up..

[itzsoweezee]

manu has to play the rest of the game. finley is not cutting it at all.

[Supergirl]

BS call on Bowen.

Also, why the fuck is he exact same actions by the Spurs considered a "loose ball foul" but when done by other teams it's perfectly OK?

Refs have their heads up their asses. Fortunately the Spurs have had to play and win when that is the case before. It's like the Spurs have two opponents every night - the opposing team and the NBA refs.

[HarlemHeat37]

Parker
Ginobili
Bowen
Bonner or Thomas
Duncan

should be the primary lineup in this quarter..

[boutons_]

blew the 3rd qtr, 14 pts, couldn't keep the lead. dammit

[BlackSwordsMan]

seems pretty fair so far except for that bowen 3

[crc21209]

I want TD, Manu, TP, Bowen, and Bonner for the 4th damn it.

[Jobbs]

lucky for us that when Parker has a shitty game, he's usually on fire in the 4th.

[crc21209]

24-14 3rd quarter, come on Spurs lets make it a 25-15 quarter in our way.

[Ice009]

Parker
Ginobili
Bowen
Bonner or Thomas
Duncan

should be the primary lineup in this quarter..

It should be but will it? Did you hear when Pop called out the team for not running the ball then Tony said but Pop you called the last two plays to slow it down. lol Does Pop know what he is doing?

[HarlemHeat37]

Tony is playing an even game with Rondo..that should never happen..

[kace]

well, tony's J is awful, manu's D is awful...... if tim begins being owned, it will be hard.


put tony, manu, bowen, bonner and tim as soon as possible to finish this game. no more fin and mase.

[HarlemHeat37]

It should be but will it? Did you hear when Pop called out the team for not running the ball then Tony said but Pop you called the last two plays to slow it down. lol Does Pop know what he is doing?

well knowing Pop, Finley will somehow be involved heavily..

[WalterBenitez]

Great rebound by Manu

[Spurs Brazil]

Good job Manu

[HarlemHeat37]

nice effort from Manu..Kurt usually makes that, tough..

[Death In June]

I see finely is still in the game. Does anyone have any idea as to why that is

[Nocioni]

Emanuel should take over the quarter

[FreeMason]

There is no way the Spurs will even sniff the Finals if they keep getting dominated in the paint all year.

[Capt Bringdown]

This looks like an awful lineup out there now.

[WalterBenitez]

Kt!

[ace3g]

KT with the sideline jumper

[Spurs Brazil]

Thomas J!

[tomtom]

we need that consistently

[WalterBenitez]

Hill!!!!! great skills

[FreeMason]

George Hill!

[ace3g]

Hill with a top of the key J, spurs up 2

[gmartin02]

Come on Spurs - beat the fucking Keltics - I hate those assholes

[Juanobili]

very nice George

[Spurs Brazil]

Hill!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1

[phyzik]

Pop comes out with a lineup of Hill, Ginobilli, Finley, Bonner and Thomas...... WTF!!!!

[tomtom]

Hill!

[Spursfanfromafar]

The Celts have a horrible bench.. the more the advantage taken against these puppies, the easier it is .. to go against the Big Three of the Celts.

[FreeMason]

Thomas, I love you.

[ace3g]

KT gets a lucky bounce, lol

[WalterBenitez]

Bonner comingwith that great assist :D

[HarlemHeat37]

should have been an and-1 there..

[peskypesky]

Bonner with the airball, but KT with the putback!

[Spurs Brazil]

Yes Thomas!

[Spurminator]

Bonner doing everything today. Even the over-the-basket assists.

[ace3g]

manu with a steal, but hill is grabbing his shoulder, could be dislocated

[peskypesky]

Big Baby smashes Hill

[FreeMason]

baby goes for the face!

[Spurs Brazil]

Fuck

[peskypesky]

Bonner doing everything today. Even the over-the-basket assists.

:lmao

[tony09manu]

F The Celtics

[peskypesky]

flagrant

[tomtom]

ouch

[Juanobili]

ah man

hope everything's alright

[George Gervin's Afro]

Fuck

[lefty]

Fuck me...

[Spurminator]

Should be a flagrant. Too much unnecessary contact after the block.

[tomtom]

dammit fuck the celtics

[Universe]

Crap!

[peskypesky]

poor Hill

[InRareForm]

shit, hope it is just a stinger

[FreeMason]

Typical dirty Celtics trash.

Hill was owning on defense so they chop him down.

Thomas, you know what to do...

[HarlemHeat37]

if that was Rondo, it would have been a flagrant 2 against one of our guys..

[phyzik]

Hill looks OK, probably just shaken up.

[Capt Bringdown]

Dislocated shoulder?

[wireonfire]

flagrant

No.

[HarlemHeat37]

Hill better be able to return, he was looking good to start the quarter, very active..

[Supergirl]

Big Baby commits what should be a flagrant on Hill.

[WalterBenitez]

that foul should be prosecuted,

[Leetonidas]

At least the Boston crowd was good enough to clap for Hill when he got up and they didn't cheer and shit, unlike Seattle...

[HarlemHeat37]

Dislocated shoulder?

highly doubt it, it didn't look that bad..

[Fundamental]

Hope Hill's not going onto the injured list.

[DDS4]

Hopefully Hill's ok....doesn't appear to look like a Jameer Nelson type injury.

[Capt Bringdown]

That's gotta be a f'n flagrant
