Game Blog: Spurs @ Celtics - Feb. 8

[Supergirl]

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

precisely.

[Ice009]

If that is not a flagrant then I want the Spurs to be able to do that every game even against Kobe and the same call to be made.

[Jobbs]

It doesn't look that bad now. Maybe the trainers can get him numbed up enough to shoot the free throws. Manu should've taken it to the hole :(

[FreeMason]

lmao at KG getting in Hill's face as he walked with trainer to sidelines!


haha jk

[DPG21920]

It was not dirty at all. If Hill was not hurt on the play, no one would say anything. I hope Hill is alright. Shake off big boy.

[Spursfanfromafar]

The Big Shabby...useless load of dirty play.

[crc21209]

Hill has been money on D for us today, very steady, nothing too crazy, good consistent back up PG play. Hopefully he's ok, please god, you know we cant go back to Vaughn at backup. lol.

[Ice009]

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...

That is a bit of class from the Boston crowd.

[kace]

lmao at KG getting in Hill's face as he walked with trainer to sidelines!


haha jk

seriously ?? i didn't see it.

[spursfan09]

:(

Poor George

Is it dislocated?

[boutons_]

Flagrant 1 mayb2, tomahawking with both arms is not going for the ball.

[Juanobili]

lmao at KG getting in Hill's face as he walked with trainer to sidelines!


haha jk

what? are you serious?

didnt see that


that pile of shit

[ace3g]

woo Hill is back in the game

[phyzik]

Come on Hill, make them fucking pay.

[HarlemHeat37]

yup, no injury there..didn't look that bad..

[Capt Bringdown]

Way too much contact for that to be just a regular foul FFS.
I didn't like the way Hill appeared not to be able to raise his arm.

[Spurs Brazil]

Hill in the game

[boutons_]

one tuff mofo, our boy Hill!

[tomtom]

lmao cheerleader

[InRareForm]

i knew it was a stinger

[Spurs Brazil]

Just a stinger

[FreeMason]

what? are you serious?

didnt see that


that pile of shit

no i was just kidding

[HarlemHeat37]

1 out of 2..good..

[WalterBenitez]

THAT wasn't flagrant?

[Juanobili]

Hill!!!

[FreeMason]

hill!

[ace3g]

good defense by Bonner, helping Manu there and Allen getting called for the travel

Hill again with the jumper

[Spurs Brazil]

Hill!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!11

[DPG21920]

I like the Spurs defense since the end of the 3rd. Much better.

[tomtom]

hill! breaking that shit down!

[phyzik]

Spurs playing some good D right now.

[HarlemHeat37]

come on Kurt, back up..give Baby that..

[Fundamental]

Great defense for the spurs last Celtic possession.

[Ice009]

Hill stepping up. MASON you gotta do the same.

[boutons_]

here we go, Tim and fake Badass back in for the duration.

[Ice009]

Everyone has to step up! GO SPURS GO!

[WalterBenitez]

Hillllllllllllllllllllllllllllll

[Juanobili]

Hill Over Kg!!!

[HarlemHeat37]

George fucking Hill..

[tomtom]

i like hill staying in

[peskypesky]

Hill taking his revenge on the Celts

[ace3g]

Hill finishing at the basket under KG, who says Hill can't finish at the basket

[FreeMason]

damn Hill is so impressive

[Spurs Brazil]

Hill again!!!!!!!!!!!!1

[tomtom]

hell yes!

[phyzik]

Finally, some real Spurs defense!

[Mal]

Spurs bench >>> C`s Bench

[Spursfanfromafar]

George Hill ...redemption..

[Libri]

Alright Hill!

[Jloyola]

TD needs to post up~~~

[HarlemHeat37]

slow it down, let's go..

[WalterBenitez]

Filey sucks

[Juanobili]

arghhhhh

[Spurs Brazil]

Fuck Finley

[boutons_]

Hill dribbling with left, ok, may be sore tomorrow

[tomtom]

eff finley should not be taking those

[Death In June]

No, but seriously, why does finely take difficult shots. He sucks at taking open wide shots half the time.

[HarlemHeat37]

every time we take a bad shot or get a turnover, they come back and score on us..it's the story of the season..

Finley shouldn't be playing at all, he's done nothing positive in this game..

[Jloyola]

Spurs bench >>> C`s Bench

not saying much:lol

[FreeMason]

Parker better step the hell up when he gets back in.

[crc21209]

So we've been getting hacked all game yet Allen gets touched, Tony, not Ray, and gets the call. WOW.

[Ice009]

What is finley doing taking that shot?????????

FUCK ME MICHAEl that was BAD BAD BAD BAD SHOT SLECTION. FUCK SAKE.

[Capt Bringdown]

We get a lead, only to piss it away with frick'n jumpshots!
F-U Finley!

[Juanobili]

Oberto!!

[FreeMason]

good looking out oberto

[Cherry]

Hi Fabricio

[ace3g]

Oberto with the clean up put back

[Spurs Brazil]

Oberto!!

[sook]

bonner has been amazing this game.

He is your MVP vs the Cs if you win

[tomtom]

woohoo oberto

[FreeMason]

lol kg

[Juanobili]

phew lucky us

[tomtom]

lol too bad kg

[Amuseddaysleeper]

ahhhh mason

[tony09manu]

Uhhhhhhh...parker, ginobili??

[Supergirl]

karma is a payback kg. missed dunk my ass.

[Spurs Brazil]

Wake the fuck up Mason

SHIT

[HarlemHeat37]

take Mason and Finley off the court, they've both been completely useless..play Hill at the 2 with Manu, or bring Bruce in..

[BlackSwordsMan]

these TO's are a bitch

[kace]

two bad and silly passes for hill. great run for him anyway.

[Spursfanfromafar]

Clever clever substitution by Pop.. Oberto was always going to beat up Big Shabby on size. What a canny player .. the Argentine..

[spursfan09]

is Tony Parker hungover?

[George Gervin's Afro]

Two Bad Turnovers

[boutons_]

damn, 2 TOs

Celts a bit cold against Spurs smothering defense

[Ice009]

MASON FUCKING YOU SUCK.

Mason is really disappearing as the heat is getting turned up.

[Duncan2177]

Mason had to fuck that play up. Pathetic

[Spurs Brazil]

take Mason and Finley off the court, they've both been completely useless..play Hill at the 2 with Manu, or bring Bruce in..

Agree

[Supergirl]

as happy as I am Hill is playing so well and scoring, I want TP and Manu back in for the final 5 min of the quarter.

Pop, put em in after the time out.

[boutons_]

we need to drop a couple 3s on these dirty fuckers and get the hell outta Bean Town

[tomtom]

tony cold, glad pop has the confidence to let hill play. finley needs to sit though

[bbarry]

spurs lucky georgey gave us a few pts while celtics big three were on the bench. we're gonna need some pts from OUR big three quickly or this won't end well.

[crc21209]

OK get Mase the fuck out. Hill at point I'm fine with, he's doing good out there. Hill/Parker, Manu, Bowen, TD, Bonner or whoever. Just get Mase and Fin the hell out.

[Ice009]

take Mason and Finley off the court, they've both been completely useless..play Hill at the 2 with Manu, or bring Bruce in..

Good call. Hill has fucking played tough tonight. He deserves the minutes.

[HarlemHeat37]

it's actually reached the point where I hope Finley picks up 2 quick fouls in the 1st quarter so Pop doesn't play him..

[Cherry]

put Tony/Manu back!

[Amuseddaysleeper]

it's actually reached the point where I hope Finley picks up 2 quick fouls in the 1st quarter so Pop doesn't play him..

:lol

[Spursfanfromafar]

I like this time of the game. Both teams have their best players in. Now or never.

[Death In June]

Duncan's not getting the ball nearly enough.

[FreeMason]

who gives a shit about one game ball?

[HarlemHeat37]

Duncan needs to get his ass inside..

[WalterBenitez]

Come on Tony

[Spurminator]

I liked the other ball better.

[dougp]

Man, KG is a fucking dirty ass player.

[kace]

parker missing easy layup

[Spurs Brazil]

DamnTP

[tomtom]

fuck

[HarlemHeat37]

Boston is DOMINATING us in transition..it's ridiculous..

Tony misses a chip shot to give them a dunk..

[Cherry]

Td!

[Fundamental]

and 1 for timmy!!

[Spurminator]

Hell yes!

[Spurs Brazil]

TD and one!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[tomtom]

duncan and 1

[HarlemHeat37]

come on Tim, make the FT..

[FreeMason]

bonner why didn't you lay him out!

[crc21209]

Looked like a simple fucking pass to me, give it to the trailer on the break. OOOO big deal.

[Mal]

Timmy !

[Ice009]

Parker needs to keep his overrated talk to himself. Rondo is making him look like a fool.

[ace3g]

Duncan with a follow putback AND1

[Spursfanfromafar]

"That's how you do it" -- Timmy + 1 + the defensive rebound..

[Rummpd]

Lets go Spurs

[HarlemHeat37]

Bonner is done..

horrible D, somebody pop out on Allen..

[Death In June]

Mason, with another slow ass rotation

[Spurs Brazil]

Take Mason out

Put Bruce

[Rummpd]

Too many outside shots

[Spurminator]

Dammit.

[HarlemHeat37]

fuck Mason, how do you not get that loose ball? get him off the fucking court, he's so useless..

[DeadlyDynasty]

great game!

[FreeMason]

get the fucking rebound.

It's a loose ball and the dumbasses are running up the court...

[Spurs Brazil]

Fuck Mason is killing us

[tomtom]

Fuck

[ace3g]

since when is that a foul, you are allowed to block a player from getting to the ball when it is about to go out of bounds

[Ice009]

Come On Roger.

[BlackSwordsMan]

mason is sucking shit

[tony09manu]

did anyone know that the Lakers are playing in 2:00 mins? /sarcasm

[DeadlyDynasty]

great game so far

[spursfan09]

i don't like this

[Capt Bringdown]

Celts are beating the Spurs at their own game. Or what used to be our game, i.e. defense.

[Spursfanfromafar]

Hell. I think its Boston vs Duncan now. Others are having too many butterfly moments

[Mal]

Come on show some defens

[boutons_]

2 missed 3s, would have sealed the deal

how about driving like Manu did?

[Supergirl]

what was I just saying about the loose ball foul curse on the Spurs?

Pierce hacks the shit out of Mason who had the rebound, and Mason gets called for a foul? THAT'S bad refereeing

[kace]

it's been two times, with fin and now with mason that we act like fuckin' lazy assholes. TAKE THIS LOOSE BALL !!!!!


anyway, a foul on mason ???

[crc21209]

FUCK THIS SHIT, get Mason the fuck out! TP, Manu, Bruce, TD, Bonner/Thomas I dont care DO IT!

[bbarry]

Damnit That Should Have Been Our Fuckin Rebound. Get A Damn Rebound.

[Ice009]

fuck Mason, how do you not get that loose ball? get him off the fucking court, he's so useless..

LOL that trade Carter thread was so silly. Spurs wouldn't make that trade for salarty reasons, but if you can trade Mason for him you do it.

Roger come on man. step up.

[dbestpro]

Perhaps Mason should give a little more effort?

[Death In June]

The spurs really did themselves no favors this offseason. They'll have to play at their absolute best level to beat the cavs, lakers, and celtics. I remember artest being available for 7-8 million for a one year deal. What the fuck happened with that?

[HarlemHeat37]

it's pretty obvious that Hill defending Allen can't be any worse than Mason defending him..at least Hill can get rebounds, slash, and handle the fucking ball..if not that, then at least put Bruce in..

Pop really annoys me sometimes..

this game shouldn't be this close with the amount of mistakes we've made, we should have a larger lead..that's what happens when you allow Finley and Mason to play through mistakes, when they clearly aren't responding to the strategy..

[weebo]

bowen in for mason please

[Fundamental]

I feel like its starting to slip away. Come on Spurs, hit those open shots. Defense is still looking pretty good.

[Johnny RIngo]

Hell. I think its Boston vs Duncan now. Others are having too many butterfly moments

Yup. Parker, Mason, and Manu are choking this one away.

[FreeMason]

wow, quit showing LA Cavs clips ffs

[crc21209]

Bonner and Manu both missed open 3's to perhaps seal it, DRIVE THE BALL. Fuck the 3 point ball right now.

[Capt Bringdown]

This would be a heart-breaking loss. Come on guys, make a play FFS

[DPG21920]

Stay calm, we are getting good looks, just execute on both ends.

[dbestpro]

Bonner hesitation is always a kiss of death.

[Spurs Brazil]

:lol Pop

[kace]

it's pretty obvious that Hill defending Allen can't be any worse than Mason defending him..at least Hill can get rebounds, slash, and handle the fucking ball..if not that, then at least put Bruce in..

Pop really annoys me sometimes..

this game shouldn't be this close with the amount of mistakes we've made, we should have a larger lead..that's what happens when you allow Finley and Mason to play through mistakes, when they clearly aren't responding to the strategy..


mason and manu D on allen (or pierce) are killin' us. that and the awful night on offense from tp.

[peskypesky]

ouch

[FreeMason]

dumbass bonner

[Ice009]

George Hill has shown us sometrhing tonight.

[Juanobili]

ugh

[KenGee21]

yo, mason is really fucking it up right now

[Juanobili]

Damn It

[peskypesky]

not looking good

[WalterBenitez]

Bonner is going back

[HarlemHeat37]

Bonner shouldn't be handling the ball in that situation..

[peskypesky]

KG can't miss

[dbestpro]

Nothing good happens when Bonner puts the ball on the floor.

[Texas_Ranger]

:rollin

[dirk4mvp]

KG with 2 clutch j's and a steal. Awesome.

[Spurs Brazil]

Mason late again

FUck

[mrcoon29]

WE need some Manu time!

[peskypesky]

ouch we needed that mason 3

[Death In June]

FUCK. We lost...

[tomtom]

goddammit

[dirk4mvp]

Mason is worthless.

[Mal]

fuck

[Spurs Brazil]

Get The Fuck Out Mason

[kace]

LET'S RUN SOME PnR !!!!!!!!!!!

[peskypesky]

well, we may not win this....but we're damn close, which to me is a good sign

[HarlemHeat37]

fuck this..what kind of effort is this in a big game? fucking pathetic..horrible coaching, horrible effort from Mason, Finley and Parker..

[MrChug]

No Bruce...no wins. PERIOD.

[peskypesky]

1pt game

we need a fucking stop!

[Mal]

Matt

[dbestpro]

We desrve to loose this one. Bonner and Mason are showing low BB IQ.

[Spurs Brazil]

[Capt Bringdown]

What a devastating loss.
Celts are the better team, clearly.

[peskypesky]

[WalterBenitez]

[MannyIsGod]

Mason was looking for that shot all the last minute. Dude has big time last minute confidence and he WANTS those shots. Dude is the definition of clutch.

[Yogurt210]

MR fucking clutch

[200 miles]

roger mason sends a big fuck you to the haters

[boutons_]

Eat

Shit

Celts

[Xylus]

This Mason fella bleeds ice.

[WalterBenitez]

Everyone Apologize To Mason!!!

:D hehehehe I was one of those

[Libri]

Mr. Clutch!!!

[mrcoon29]

still gotta defend to the end

[Shastafarian]

So much time left. No threes please.

[kace]

and it's not even a good choice for mason but HE MADE IT !!!!!!!!

[Spurs Brazil]

Mason hit a big shot but it's Bruce time now

[Cherry]

Roger Redemption, wow

[crc21209]

My god he gives me flashbacks of S. Jax, he has so much balls its not even funny. Come on guys. D D D D D D D D D D !

[InK]

What a devastating loss.
Celts are the better team, clearly.

Sad.

[EricB]

Matt Bonner with a pretty clutch jumper there.

Mason is really turning into a Ginobili like clutch shooter.

Can suck the whole game, but when you need it most, bags a dagger.

One more stop and a rebound boys!!!!!

[sook]

Mason and Bonner...2 coldblooded shots in a row

[Capt Bringdown]

WTF? A Mason sighting! What an awesome game, but we've gotta win please!

[Mal]

Fuck Trades !! Mason Must Stay !!

[HarlemHeat37]

Mason is ridiculous..the guy truly has Horry in his blood..

absolutely horrible game, missing everything, no D..and then he steps up like that when it matters..

DEFENSE!!!..

[Fundamental]

Mason 3 to take the lead by two. and they break for commercial playing back in the "saddle again" (i think reffering to his hip slapping haha).

[tomtom]

execution now

[peskypesky]

Spurs up by 2 with 20 to go!
