Game Blog: 12/02 - Spurs vs Celtics

[Xevious]

Well this is embarrassing. We can't hit our open shots, we can't hit our free throws, and now Blair is playing for the Celtics while still wearing a Spurs jersey.

And WAY too many turnovers.

[lefty]

At least Laker fans will be pissed because of a Celtics win

[alchemist]

2 points taken away from the none goaltending call
2 points added by Blair
team playing like it's the first time they've played together.
Jesus Christ

:lol all you can do is laugh cuz the alternative is ugly.

[austN Spur]

lets focus on what the spurs did well.Well we did turnover the ball well. and that a start

[Duncan2177]

This is a weird fucken game.

[Admidave50]

hmm can someone explain the Blair play? With all the "wtf, omg, Blair...", can't really understand much from office

[NZ Spurs]

Its going to take a good quarter to wake this team up after the 3 day break.

[oligarchy]

Spurs just spotting them some points.

[DPG21920]

Guys, the Spurs notoriously play bad when they have had a few days off. They also seemingly get a run put on them when Tim misses a chippie.

Give it some time, this game is not over.

[Danny.Zhu]

Brain damage...

[Dex]

lets focus on what the spurs did well.Well we did turnover the ball well. and that a start

Well at least we might get a season high out of this after all. :lol

[superjames1992]

lets focus on what the spurs did well.Well we did turnover the ball well. and that a start
The Spurs are 1/1 when shooting the ball into the opponent's basket. We did that well!

[quentin_compson]

There's been a lot of discussion here whether this is more than an ordinary RS game or not.

Well, to our guys, it clearly is, and they look scared shitless right now.

[urunobili]

fucking Blair... we needed that board

[ElNono]

They play great D, we don't. Are you watching this shit? Finley on Pierce? Really Pop?
When Bonner misses 3 shots, he needs to sit down until the second half.

Oh well.

[Quiet Strength]

hmm can someone explain the Blair play? With all the "wtf, omg, Blair...", can't really understand much from office

Blair was trying to get an easy defensive rebound and he somehow hit the ball in the basket and boston got the two points out of it

[SpursRulez4eVeR]

doc thanking blair lol

[Dex]

OK, so lets just forget all that just happened. We just need to start fresh and get a nice 10 point "lead"

[SanAntonioSpurs23]

:lol WOW

[Johnny RIngo]

Doc Rivers clowning Blair...ouch.

[superjames1992]

What A Suprise... Duncan the ONLY ONE coming to play tonight... BONNER SUCKS FUCKING COCK. WHY DO PEOPLE NOT SEE THIS... we his is not hitting the 3 he is completely terrible... FOUL CALLS.. CHEAP FOULS. NO REBOUNDS. TERRIBLE.

Duncan the only fucking one doing anything

DO SOMETHING POP.

BLAIR LOOKED LIKE HE WAS TRYING TO MAKE THAT SHIT IN.
At least Bonner doesn't score baskets for the opposing team.

[DesignatedT]

There is wallace again!!!!! Another rebound over bonner... Again. Wowwwwwwwww

[5in10]

The ball in and out every shot

[Russ]

Spurs need to run to win this game.

[itzsoweezee]

i can't believe how lackadaisical this team is playing. popovich should be embarrassed.

[Death In June]

Inadvertent, my balls. He fucked up.

[SpursNextRomanEmpire]

screw these long ass breaks, that was one of the worst quarters ive ever seen

[lefty]

For some reason, I still want to watch this game.

This has epic written all over

[TIMMYD!]

why does the ref working the baseline defer to bavetta so much?

[SpursRulez4eVeR]

sheed is gonna eat bonner alive

[ElNono]

Another Bonner rebound given up to sheed, ends up costing Hill a foul.

[SanAntonioSpurs23]

everyone not named Duncan on the Spurs is playing like garbage.

[024]

i love these predictable meltdowns. spurs are obviously not ready to compete against elite teams. anyone who watched the last 15 games would know that.

[Death In June]

Finely and Bonner in together? Ugh.

[picc84]

At least Laker fans will be pissed because of a Celtics win

11:44 left in 2nd

down 9

game = over? :lol

[Quiet Strength]

everyone not named Duncan on the Spurs is playing like garbage.

and for some reason blair thought he was a celtic

[Duncan2177]

Pop should put Ratliff on Wallace.

[lefty]

We just scored !

Please tell me we didn't switch sides between quarters

[ElNono]

Somebody tell Bavetta we're in San Antonio...

[ffadicted]

Blair looks like a lost puppy on D

[ezau]

Guys, please calm down. It's too early, unless of course we're down by 20 in the 40 quarter.

[SanAntonioSpurs23]

Wow, shots are just not falling

[TIMMYD!]

every single shot rolls around the rim

[Dex]

Gottamn...Even the good shots just rattle out.

[Johnny RIngo]

Can't hit shit tonight.

[lefty]

Somebody tell Bavetta we're in San Antonio...
Bavetta: "we're in SA? then I'll make sure Spurs lose "

[SanAntonioSpurs23]

Pop should put Ratliff on Wallace.

[Tito_Trinidad]

Tell me the truth:

Why is Finley an NBA player yet? He is only a wide open spot shooter from mid Js and 3s. He can't dribble, can't shoot off dribble, can't rebound, can't create his own shots, can't defend, cant post, can't shot in traffic, can't dunk, can't drive, can't can't can't can't can't, can't nothing.

Why is Bonner in such uniform. The same Finley argument, he can't cant the same simple things like Finley.

[magui86770]

Are the rims that tight? Damn!!!

[Josepatches_]

0 points for Blair

2 -2

[lefty]

Blair: " shit, I just put the ball in the wrong basket ! "

[ffadicted]

Nice Blair!

[Josepatches_]

2 points now

[ffadicted]

Grizzly!!!!!!!!!!!!

[ace3g]

quote of the night for how the game has gone thus far for the Spurs "in and out"

[SanAntonioSpurs23]

Damnnnnnnnnnnnit

[SpursRulez4eVeR]

god damn defensive rebound also!! blair

[Death In June]

Refs are fucking horrible right now. Spurs shots, even worse.

[lefty]

Wow Allen

[Admidave50]

2 rebounds and 4 straight points, looks like Blair is redeeming himself

[TIMMYD!]

Wow, these refs are calling some major bullshit.

[ffadicted]

Fucking nothing going the spurs way tonight

[austN Spur]

Inadvertent, my balls. He fucked up.
Blair is from the east coast, maybe hes pulling a tim donaghy

[SpursRulez4eVeR]

thank god Cs are not making their WIDE OPEN THREES and FTs

[Quiet Strength]

Was there a double dribble on that last play? They didnt show a replay but thats what I thought I saw

[Spurs Brazil]

Blair lost and easy board, Scalabrine travel, no call, Allen made a tough shot.

Fuck.

[DesignatedT]

Good job blair. Now get bonners soft piece of shit ass out of their.

[Ice009]

Alright just got home and I see we are down???

How is RJ playing? Is he bringing it tonight?

[Josepatches_]

These 2 easy def rebounds cost us 4 points. 2 from Blair and 2 from Allen.

[Dex]

I don't THINK Scalabrine traveled, but the scoreboard obstructs the play. Nice shot by Allen tho.

Spurs need to get some breaks is what they need.

[lefty]

Hey Blair

Don't get fooled by Bonner's whiteness; his arms are tasty

Please stop his career right there

[TIMMYD!]

blair AND1

[timtonymanu]

Alright just got home and I see we are down???

How is RJ playing? Is he bringing it tonight?

Let's just say if u were here earlier, you would burst a vessel in your brain. It's crazy so far.

[SanAntonioSpurs23]

Where is Roger Mason?

Blair and 1

[itzsoweezee]

the thing is, every game you can tell really quickly whether bonner is going to have a good night or not. it should be pretty clear now that bonner is going to do nothing this game, and he's going to get abused on the defensive end. get him out of there.

[sonic21]

Blair again!!

[Spurs Brazil]

Blair and one!

[Laker-fan-in-SanAnto]

Was there a double dribble on that last play? They didnt show a replay but thats what I thought I saw

No, traveling maybe

[austN Spur]

here we go. lets go spurs, nice shot blair

[ace3g]

Blair going for the and 1 now

[Juanobili]

Dejuaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaan!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[ffadicted]

Oh my grizzly and gino!!!!

[SpursRulez4eVeR]

another miss FT?

[itzsoweezee]

the manu + blair pick and roll is gold every time.

[Ice009]

Awesome DeJuan.

[Josepatches_]

extra small ball now

[024]

blair just wants to lure the celtics into a false sense of security before he eats them.
i called it!

[SpursRulez4eVeR]

yes fuck

[DPG21920]

Spurs fans are sad sometimes.

[Crookshanks]

I hate these long layoffs between games. Spurs had a good rhythm going and then they have 4 days off. Has any team played fewer games so far than the Spurs?

[SanAntonioSpurs23]

Serious question...... Have we made a free throw yet?

[Spurs Brazil]

We can't make a FT :(

[Fpoonsie]

Pick UP the loose ball. Don't just help it on its way outta bounds.

[duncan228]

Where is Roger Mason?

He was listed as 'probable', I'm not sure if he's active.

[Quiet Strength]

Good defense finley

[ace3g]

nice drive by Finley after losing the ball

[ezau]

There you go Dejuan!!

[The Red Hood]

Finley turning back the clock.

[Death In June]

Bavetta's got an agenda here....

[lefty]

http://img.slidetoplay.com/20091026/nba-live-by-ea-sports_3.jpg

[Dex]

Fuck you Bavetta.

[Spurs Brazil]

I don't like this lineup. No playmaker in

[SpursRulez4eVeR]

Fcuk the fucking ref!!! Wtf

[ffadicted]

Oh what a bullshit call

[austN Spur]

they not calling that shit on the other side

[TIMMYD!]

Dick Bavetta being a dick right now.

[Ice009]

WHAT THE FUCK IS IT WITH THE NBA.

BOSTON can do what Hill did all game against most teams, but we can't touch them?

[The Red Hood]

He was listed as 'probable', I'm not sure if he's active.
He's active.

[SanAntonioSpurs23]

At least they are attacking now....

[Fpoonsie]

Even WITH that drive and bucket, Hill looks scared shitless out there...

[SanAntonioSpurs23]

Fuck yes hill!!!

[lefty]

Growth Hormone !!!!

[ace3g]

wow what a reverse by Hill

[TIMMYD!]

Maybe we should start attacking instead of shooting from the perimeter. Meanwhile, Hill with the Incredible AND1.

[Fpoonsie]

:lol

Mmmm...crow....mmmmm.

[Spurs Brazil]

HILL and one!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Juanobili]

Damn George, that was nice

[SpursRulez4eVeR]

holy shit ! HILL!

[ffadicted]

HILL!!!!

Damn spurs have so many weapons. Now just gotta play smart and take care of the ball

[Dex]

Spurs are putting up an awesome defensive quarter. If the offense can just wake the hell up, the momentum is up for grabs.

[Ice009]

Great play THRILL HILL.

[quentin_compson]

Hill! Being aggressive and showing we're a good team as well is very important right now.

[Tito_Trinidad]

thats the winning formula: attack the mofo basket, forget about the Js

[MB20]

OK, we have a game now.

[Quiet Strength]

The spurs are looking better now.. I'm not saying the spurs are going to win this but I dont understand why some spurs fans give up after the 1st quarter..

[lefty]

eh...

http://img.slidetoplay.com/20091026/nba-live-by-ea-sports_3.jpg

[austN Spur]

http://img.slidetoplay.com/20091026/nba-live-by-ea-sports_3.jpg
:blah

[NZ Spurs]

I told you fucking drama queen babies they would wake up.

[TIMMYD!]

We could also try to hit our FTs.

[Spurs Brazil]

Another miss...

[SanAntonioSpurs23]

:lol another missed Free throw.


Bonner another missed open shot :(

[SpursRulez4eVeR]

wa fcuking off

[Death In June]

Can't get more wide open than that.

[TIMMYD!]

Bonner was fucking wide open and missed like a bitch.

[Juanobili]

one of Bonner's worst shots Ive seen

lets go Matt!

[Crookshanks]

Dick Bavetta being a dick right now.
He's what, about 103 now? :lol There should be a mandatory retirement age - he should've been gone a few years ago.

[Fpoonsie]

Yeah, get Bonner out. Shot's not fallin, and he's just gonna be a revolving door on D.

[austN Spur]

good defense. go spurs go

[ffadicted]

Seeing Bonner on Garnett makes me scared

[duncan228]

He's active.

Thanks.

[ezau]

Here we go! Loving what Hill and Blair are doing. And, fuck these motherfucking refs who are conspiring to give these Celtbitch the game

[Danny.Zhu]

George!!

[SanAntonioSpurs23]

I seriously can't stand KG :(

[Spurs Brazil]

Fucking Bonner is choking

[Fpoonsie]

What happened in the middle of the court w/ Timmy and that, uh, black Celtic player?

[SanAntonioSpurs23]

Starters in, Spurs offense stalls :(

[lefty]

BS!!!!!!!!!!!!!


Blair was heating up, but Pop thought it was a good idea to eplace him with fucking Bonner

[SpursRulez4eVeR]

can't secure a rebound NICE!

[DesignatedT]

andddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddd ANOTHER BRICK BY BONNER

[Spurs Brazil]

Didi Bonner read the scouting report? Garnett can shot from there

[kbrury]

fuck bonner having more minutes then Dice. I thought we had this worked out Pop falling in love with Matt again.

[timtonymanu]

I swear Bonner is such a pussy. He only plays well against shit teams. But when a real team shows up, he's so scared.

[urunobili]

lol Bonner
lol Spurs 1st Unit

[SanAntonioSpurs23]

What happened in the middle of the court w/ Timmy and that, uh, black Celtic player?


Scalabrine?

Nah i think they said someone set a pick, I didn't see it.

[Johnny RIngo]

Spurs have been playing 4 on 5 for most of this game(Thank You Matt Bonner).

[Ice009]

Man this Spurs team is fucking soft.

That last three Bonner took wasn't even close. You could see the pressure got to him before he even took the shot and he was wide open at home.

We have to look at trading guys like Bonner. He will be useless in the playoffs.

As I missed the first quarter can someone tell me how RJ has played?

[Dex]

Yeah, I'm not turning on Bonner or anything yet but if you're gonna be on the floor...do something.

[lefty]

quote of the night for how the game has gone thus far for the Spurs "in and out"
Pretty much like Kobe in Colorado

[SanAntonioSpurs23]

I want some TD and Ratliff.

[Tito_Trinidad]

attack the motherfkking bastard molested g@y rim and stop the motherfukkers bastards g@y f@g jumpers for God sakes!!!!

[DesignatedT]

can someone seriously explain to me what bonner is doing out their when he is 0/4 on WIDE OPEN threes? please tell me..... his defense is terrible, his rebounding is terrible...

[urunobili]

the Celtics seem to be every fucking where in the court...

Spurs 1st Unit sucking ass

[kbrury]

Put Theo in at least just take Bonner out.

[lefty]

WTF Bonner

IN Toronto, you hard fouled KG

When did you become such a puss?

[SpursRulez4eVeR]

RMJ coming in

[Dex]

attack the motherfkking bastard molested g@y rim and stop the motherfukkers bastards g@y f@g jumpers for God sakes!!!!

thanks for censoring.

[Duncan2177]

I want some TD and Ratliff.

:tu

[austN Spur]

Didi Bonner read the scouting report? Garnett can shot from there

yeah i yelled at that to. he didnt hustle at all.

[benefactor]

can someone seriously explain to me what bonner is doing out their when he is 0/4 on WIDE OPEN threes? please tell me..... his defense is terrible, his rebounding is terrible...
He has actually given the Spur two extra possessions with his hustle after missed free throws...not that it matters.

[lefty]

can someone seriously explain to me what bonner is doing out their when he is 0/4 on WIDE OPEN threes? please tell me..... his defense is terrible, his rebounding is terrible...
Not to mentioned he replaced a red hot Blair

Fucking Pop!!! :pctoss

[Death In June]

It'd be cool if Tony started playing well.

[The Red Hood]

Dice in.

[Fpoonsie]

I'm all for sitting Matt this game since his shots not fallin, but these posters w/ NOTHING but Bonner-hate is fucking obnoxious.

[SanAntonioSpurs23]

Money Mason in

[lefty]

It'd be cool if Tony started playing well.
Hehe :D

[The Red Hood]

RMJ in.

[Fpoonsie]

Ok, Perkins is pissing me off.

[SanAntonioSpurs23]

TD and Mcdyess works

[lefty]

What is Perkins saying ?

" Grrnmmmbl, Grumbulum "

[SanAntonioSpurs23]

Amazing how this is only a 3 point game.

[Ice009]

I want to fuck Perkins up.

This guy always acts like this against us.

Fucking peice of shit.

[duncan228]

'Inadvertant' elbow to the face.

[ezau]

Fuck you Matt fucking Bonner. I hate this useless redheaded, jumpshooting faggot with T-Rex arms!

[SanAntonioSpurs23]

FUCKKKKKK. Why isn't Rj doing anything? :(

[Death In June]

I'd rather see Gino in place of mason right now.

[Ice009]

What the fuck are the Spurs doing on offense???????????

MAN we need PJ back. Pop has no clue about offense.

[Fpoonsie]

Alright, TP. Hit these...

[Bulwark]

Why foul there, Mason? Wrap him up if you're going to foul!

[Quiet Strength]

lol parkers free throws

[SanAntonioSpurs23]

MAKE THE DAMN FT's jesus...

[austN Spur]

friggin fts

[Fpoonsie]

Oh...my...god.

[Spurs Brazil]

I can't believe 2-9FT

[timtonymanu]

There is no excuse for the missed Ft's.

[Ice009]

LOL Spurs are choking the free throws. COME ON GUYS that is a fucking joke. Hit a fucking free throw.

[TinTin]

Wow come on man fucking hit ft

[SpursRulez4eVeR]

mother fcuker NO one can make FTs tonight?

[lefty]

Fuck you Matt fucking Bonner. I hate this useless redheaded, jumpshooting faggot with T-Rex arms!
"Did somebody say arms? "

http://i2.cdn.turner.com/si/2009/writers/tim_layden/03/24/road.to.redemption/dejuan-blair.jpg

[Fpoonsie]

Fuuuck me. Can we play D W/O fouling? Mason? I'm lookin atchoo.

[TDfan2007]

our offense is garbage right now. Tim can't hit a shot after hitting his first few. Manu can't hit anything and Tony is lost.

Halftime magic plz

Oh and good God can someone hit a FT

[Death In June]

Using Mason after he comes off an injury against a top 5 team isn't a good idea.

[TinTin]

Well, this is the perfect time to ask the question

Why does ray allen look like he is always chewing something when hitting ft

[BillMc]

Our sharp shooters lookin' good tonight...

[ffadicted]

pooooooooooooop, we're getting nowhere

[Fpoonsie]

If we can just go into the half within 5, I'll be ok.

[kbrury]

Fuuuck me. Can we play D W/O fouling? Mason? I'm lookin atchoo.

Its a mismatch with Ray Allen.

[austN Spur]

I want to fuck Perkins up.

This guy always acts like this against us.

Fucking peice of shit.
Garnett is his mentor

[SpursRulez4eVeR]

Our sharp shooters lookin' good tonight...

is this supposed to be funny?

[ezau]

We need Blair, badly

[DesignatedT]

perkins is a DB big time.

mason with 2 quick fouls to put them to the line... good D

Thank god bonner is on the bench...

parker.. go to the basket more often.... but make a FN free throw.

we need MORE MANU period... i dont care how rusty he is... hes 50x better than finley and 45x better than mason.

did i mention that perkins is a straight up piece of shit

[BillMc]

is this supposed to be funny?

It was very sarcastic.

[Pauleta14]

Tony has to me more agressive!!!
He doesn't penetrate enough!!!

[Josepatches_]

Man if we only can play a few better we'll win.Only 39-32 when we can play worse is amazing

[lefty]

Maybe we would win the game if we stopped shooting

[Spurs Brazil]

We can't hit shit

Miss, miss, miss, miss

[ezau]

Despite how ugly our game has been so far, we're only down by seven. Stop choking spurs!

[Death In June]

ANOTHER TO? Jesus.

[magui86770]

Our outside shooting has gone to crap. No way we are going to win that way.

[Fpoonsie]

Manu...get your FUCKING head in the game.

[timtonymanu]

Haha Manu! Im just laughing at these guys now.

[Johnny RIngo]

omg....wtf is wrong with this team

[lefty]

Woooooooooooooooooo

[slick'81]

lol at ginobili going gangsta on the break

[magui86770]

god...bad transition d....

[td4mvp21]

That layup was useless.

[SanAntonioSpurs23]

WTF Tony?

[BillMc]

Why is Tony becoming a jump shooter?

[SanAntonioSpurs23]

11 point C's lead...

[td4mvp21]

Yeah, let's give Garnett the jumper he knocks down the most all night.

[Spurs Brazil]

TP J is MIA

[Johnny RIngo]

Celtics making us look like a D-League team.

[SanAntonioSpurs23]

Fuck this

[Death In June]

Fuck Mason, and Pop for putting him in there.

[lefty]

Maybe we would win the game if we stopped shooting.....

[Texas_Ranger]

Go fuck yourself Parker!

[boutons_deux]

Celts finishing the half very strong, embarrassing the sleepy, lethargic Spurs.

Spurs don't give a shit

[Fpoonsie]

This is ridiculous.

[mexicanjunior]

Whoever is in charge of helping this team shoot free throws needs to be fired...this team sucks...

[SanAntonioSpurs23]

8 point game.... ughhh :(

[magui86770]

good flurry at the end...but they got to get their head out their asses in the second half.

[timtonymanu]

Good. If that shit went in at the buzzer, :pctoss

[austN Spur]

damm. so not very happy BUTT still in this game. glad i got a 12 pack for this game

[ffadicted]

Terrible first half, but we're only down by 8, so that's a good sign. Lucky breaks at the end there.

Gotta pick it up and play smart!

[slick'81]

well i havent seen much but 2/9 ft shooting and there 3pt% is pretty awful 8 points down i guess isnt too bad

[Dex]

Man, that was an ugly half. I'm glad we're still in striking distance.

[Spurs Brazil]

A lot of things to do better in the 2nd half

TOs
FTs
Make open shots
Play D

[SpursRulez4eVeR]

TD played really well in the opening mins but have missed everything after dat :/

[kbrury]

We can still win only 8 down in a very sloppy game lucky not to be down by 20.

[alchemist]

Whoever is in charge of helping this team shoot free throws needs to be fired...this team sucks...
Chip >>>>>> Ray Allen

:lol

[Crookshanks]

Maybe the ball will start falling when we switch baskets!
