Game Blog: Spurs @ Celtics - Jan. 5

[Warlord23]

Good to know that we played Bonner 30 mins and saved up Dice for contending teams. Wait, wut?

[oh crap]

ouch

[peskypesky]

Well Spurs are an average team at the moment. No matter, we were due for a losing streak. Haven't had one all year.

Just gotta tool up and get ready for the next one.

we should tank the rest of the season.

[Spurs Brazil]

Hill worst game in 2 years

[CFH]

Boneheaded Hill

[angelbelow]

Wow Hill is getting owned tonight. This can't be good for his confidence..

[Cant_Be_Faded]

How the fuck does Ray Allen get an open 3. Fuck the Spurs get owned coming off screens over the past 2 days.

Ginobili was being overaggressive on the ball handler and got caught out of position off a screen.
Classic Bad-Ginobili.

[Cessation]

Even in the 72 win season the bulls had, they lost 2 in a row.

[Rummpd]

This is the worse than the Knicks loss as the Spurs were right there.

[SpursRulez4eVeR]

:bang...:smchode:

[Cant_Be_Faded]

ROFL fouling Ray Allen. Let's just go home with some shred of decency guys.

[spurs1990]

Tim Duncan can't hit a WIDE open shot. And I mean wide open.

[ShoogarBear]

Spurstalk is about to implode.


They deserve to. All those neophytes who though this was the Greatest Team of All Time and didn't need to worry about defense.

LOL, nice, Hill. Good job leaving him in the game, Bud.

[timtonymanu]

Well these two games is enough to tell me how mentally weak the Spurs are. You come off an embarrassing defensive performance and follow it up with another horrible defensive performance. Championship teams don't do this.

[janetcn12]

oh no...how can we lose it

[DPG21920]

Lets go! Great steal by TP.

[peskypesky]

This is the worse than the Knicks loss as the Spurs were right there.

yep. worst loss EVER.

[CFH]

Nice steal and layup by Parker

[Rummpd]

Maybe I spoke too sooon!

[oh crap]

maybe... just maybe

[Banzai]

lol refs not calling fouls?

[Capt Bringdown]

Glen Davis is a much better player than Dice.

[mexicanjunior]

Spurs defense is laughable, I guess we have to shoot 50+% from 3 to win games from now on...

[polandprzem]

F U hainson

[angelbelow]

glen davis is leading the league at taking charges

Really? thats pretty good, something else Blair can take away from Big Baby's game.

[janetcn12]

Not Spurs nite...

[boutons_deux]

great effort, but what about the other 47 minutes?

[peskypesky]

Well these two games is enough to tell me how mentally weak the Spurs are. You come off an embarrassing defensive performance and follow it up with another horrible defensive performance. Championship teams don't do this.

i KNOW! Spurs suck. They really do.

[SpursRulez4eVeR]

manu, only if you were to use some of those adrenaline early in the game

[Crookshanks]

I believe this game is over. Spurs are just mentally weak right now - and that's not like them. They aren't playing hard or smart. Too many mistakes and turnovers. And letting the Celtics shoot over 60% is unforgiveable. Crap - two losses in a row??

[LnGrrrR]

Yeah like Big Baby is going to be the player he is tonight with KG in there. GMAFB the rest of your team is stepping up fine.

Perkins is out too. Or do you think Shaq is as effective as Perk?

[Capt Bringdown]

too little, too late.

[Spurs Brazil]

And C's FG up to 62.2%

[peskypesky]

great effort, but what about the other 47 minutes?

not gonna get it from this lame-ass Spurs team.

[Cant_Be_Faded]

They deserve to. All those neophytes who though this was the Greatest Team of All Time and didn't need to worry about defense.

LOL, nice, Hill. Good job leaving him in the game, Bud.

Does the site really have that many neophytes that joined up due to this season

[Spurologist]

lost feed....it's now 105-101. what happened?

[janetcn12]

Yes, TP...another lifeline...

[peskypesky]

Tim Duncan can't hit a WIDE open shot. And I mean wide open.

never has, never will. he sucks.

[Spurs Brazil]

I think defense today was worst than yesterday

[noles1983]

spurs look like hot garbage, defense is fucking pathetic

[Cant_Be_Faded]

If I was a Celtics fan I would jack off every time listening to these Celtics announcers during a game.

[DPG21920]

"Thats a foul folks"

No credibility.

Spurs doing work!

[urunobili]

almost and one :depressed

[loveforthegame]

It just goes to show that this team can't come out with a piss poor effort to start games and expect to turn it on in the 4th quarter.

Don't even get me started on the defense.

I expect the Spurs will regroup and right the ship but they need to be looking in the mirror after these last 2 games. Pop can't be blamed for everything. The whole team is making questionable decisions and it's costing them.

[polandprzem]

F U hainson

[peskypesky]

I believe this game is over. Spurs are just mentally weak right now - and that's not like them. They aren't playing hard or smart. Too many mistakes and turnovers. And letting the Celtics shoot over 60% is unforgiveable. Crap - two losses in a row??

what can you, say? the Spurs suck. you're so right.

[CFH]

Wow, seriously? The Spurs actually have a chance to tie this up? :lol

[Spurologist]

manu steal!!!!!! RJ to the line to cut it to 2

[Texas_Ranger]

I'm sure I won't wake up for the Pacers game. First NY shooting 70% and now the Celtics over 60%. Fuck this defense. Shooting threes won't win us shit.

[spurs1990]

They deserve to. All those neophytes who though this was the Greatest Team of All Time and didn't need to worry about defense.

LOL, nice, Hill. Good job leaving him in the game, Bud.

What? Losing to one of the top 3 teams in the league on the road on the second night of a back to back?

And you're calling the Spurs a fraud because of this?

[Warlord23]

Heinsohn about to have a stroke

[Libri]

Damn, if that layup goes in. :wow

[DPG21920]

:lmao Tommy about to stroke!

[Brazil]

Good job TP and Manu !!!!!!!!

[ShoogarBear]

The good news is maybe Tommy Heinsohn will choke off and die on-air.

[MannyIsGod]

Holy shit this would be an amazing comeback.

[peskypesky]

spurs look like hot garbage, defense is fucking pathetic

totally. Spurs suck.

[Crookshanks]

Spurs defense is just atrocious these last two games. What happened to the team that beat the Lakers and the Thunder?

[Spurologist]

-2

[ohmwrecker]

Why do people keep making comments like Pop got ejected?

[DPG21920]

Get a stop and rebound. Manu for 3.

[peskypesky]

Spurs defense is just atrocious these last two games. What happened to the team that beat the Lakers and the Thunder?

those were flukes. the Spurs are horrible.

[angelbelow]

Wow, do announcers get fined for criticizing the refs?

[MannyIsGod]

The good news is maybe Tommy Heinsohn will choke off and die on-air.

:lmao

I was thinking the same thing. Heart Attack is one steal away.

[Spurs Brazil]

fuckkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkk kkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkk

[urunobili]

Manu's fault again

[DPG21920]

:lmao No rebound then foul Ray Allen.

[CFH]

Fuck me, can't get the rebound...

[polandprzem]

fickin rebound

[janetcn12]

Yes, rj lifeline...way to go

[ShoogarBear]

Once again, the Spurs give up the big offensive rebound when it counts.

[SpursRulez4eVeR]

lol can't rebound

[Spurologist]

:pctoss

FUCK...NO rebound

[Brazil]

fuck not capable to grab a fucking rebound.... :(

[DBMethos]

Lololololol bound

[Andy25]

I believe.

[4>0rings]

OMFG :lmao

[MannyIsGod]

FUCK. Long rebound though. Thats pretty unlucky.

[oh crap]

he missed both!!!!!!

[ShoogarBear]

Holeeeeeeee Shit!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

:hungry:

[Spurs Brazil]

Allen chokes

[CFH]

Oh wow, Allen misses both! NOWAI!

[LnGrrrR]

If I was a Celtics fan I would jack off every time listening to these Celtics announcers during a game.

That's a bit extreme, but it's fun to have someone announcing who's a bigger homer than I am.

[4>0rings]

Spurs HAVE to win this one, Celts just gave the Spurs this win.

[MannyIsGod]

Lol ray allen.

[Texas_Ranger]

lol, there still is a chance. LOL LOL LOL

[BoricuaCJA]

OMG WTF!!! How the fuck are we in this right now!!! Holy shit!!!!

[DPG21920]

Ray misses both :wow

Spurs might steal this one. Manu, Manu, Manu.

I can see Hill doing it tho...

[Libri]

Allen chocked! :wow

[urunobili]

please don't try to win it... let's go to Overtime

[mando6599]

no good on both?? crazy. come on manu for the win!!!!!

[Spurs Brazil]

Put Neal and go for the win

[Muser]

Feed died so watching the companion, did Ray just miss both?!?1

[Spurologist]

Allen misses two and the spurs have a chance......

any thoughts Heinsohn???? :lmao :lmao

[SpursRulez4eVeR]

allen?!!!! LOL watttt?

[TE]

oh shit.

[Cant_Be_Faded]

The only reason Ray fucking Allen missed two free throws in a row is because he is on my fantasy team. You on this site can all thank me later if we win this bitch.

[Brazil]

OMG !!!!!!!!!!!!!! Allen missing 2 FTs holy cow

[Cherry]

Believe

[MannyIsGod]

LMAO if the Celtics blow this.

[peskypesky]

At least you cleaned up the language. Smart move.

I know!! And now I'm rooting against the Spurs are feeling much more love around here.

[Andy25]

Go spurs go.

[ElNono]

THIS is why you never quit on games...

[angelbelow]

Might be able to steal one here..

[boutons_deux]

The Fat Lady Ain't Sung

[Warlord23]

Allen missing FTs after raining it from 3 all night??

[Rummpd]

Unreal chance to tie or win the game after of all people misses

[Blair420]

take a 2 point shot! NO 3s!

[MannyIsGod]

Watch, this will be the annual lets try to give Matt Bonner confidence game winning attempt.

[SpursRulez4eVeR]

:rollin announcers

[senorglory]

"this is bogus officiating!" LOL.

[peskypesky]

Believe

in what? the Spurs suck. haven't you been reading all the posts by their fans?

[Admidave50]

wtf, i'm gone 15 min and how are the Spurs in position to steal the game at the end...?

[ohmwrecker]

How does Ray fuckin' Allen miss both free throws?!

[LnGrrrR]

Celtics should foul immediately :lol

[janetcn12]

Heartbreaking....c'mon spurs

[Crookshanks]

Oh wow, Allen misses both! NOWAI!

Are the basketball gods just toying with us? Can the Spurs really win this game? Can they make all of us Spurstalk posters look like idiots? Stay tuned... :hat :lol

[SpursRulez4eVeR]

damn it..

[Texas_Ranger]

fuck you Manu.

[Muser]

wow..

[ShoogarBear]

Perfect ending. :depressed

[NRHector]

Damn Spurs I bet they' re going for the 3 instead of tie it :bang

[DrSteffo]

wow haha cabt believe Ray missed both

[Spurs Brazil]

Joke.
Joke.
Joke.

[Brazil]

The only reason Ray fucking Allen missed two free throws in a row is because he is on my fantasy team. You on this site can all thank me later if we win this bitch.

:lmao

[urunobili]

lol choking
lol TD not giving the ball to Manu wide open

[Libri]

Wtf?

[peskypesky]

THIS is why you never quit on games...

Spurs fans ALWAYS quit on games. I found that out tonight on this forum.

[MB20]

Great play Pop !!

[boutons_deux]

Spurs played shitty basketball right to the very last play.

[Cant_Be_Faded]

So frustrating. We don't even get a shot off?

I'm sorry, Manu lovers, but the man is playing like shit for about 4 straight weeks now. SHIT.

[SpursRulez4eVeR]

fuck you Manu.

:lol thats the spirit!

[Brazil]

what was that ??

[MannyIsGod]

LIve by the Manu, die by the Manu.

[Banzai]

Even I'm surprised Manu didn't just launch that instantly.

[BoricuaCJA]

Fuck!!!!!

[timtonymanu]

Story of the night.

[Warlord23]

Halfcourt execution. We suck at it

[LnGrrrR]

LMAO if the Celtics blow this.

The reason you guys are coming back is because we lost Shaq. As soon as Shaq fouls out we give up a good amount of points. Happened in the Orlando game too.

This is why we need Perk back.

[peskypesky]

fuck you Manu.

Manu sucks. Spurs suck.

[Rummpd]

Blow job as Manu was blantanlty fouled

[LnGrrrR]

Woot! Close one. Good game Spurs.

[Spurs Brazil]

Why the fuck Neal was not in

Bonner/Dice/TD/Parker/Manu

That was a AWFUL lineup

[Crookshanks]

ummm -why no foul called?

[peskypesky]

God, the Spurs are the worst team EVER!

[CFH]

Well that sucks. On to the next one...

[MannyIsGod]

That play was fucking terrible. Antonio and Duncan should have been much better spaced because they pretty much allowed that double team.

[Amarelooms]

Manu you are no Dirk son....nice try though...almost flopped into a call

:elephant

[Bukefal]

Well son of a bitch :bang Damn it
It was handed to them in the end, they could have get this game.

[Sisk]

LIve by the Manu, die by the Manu.

This.

He had a bad game. That spurt in the 4th kinda made up for it.. but it just wasn't his night.

Hill was just fucking atrocious.

[Spurologist]

:bang

Dammit....I wanted Heinsohn's reaction.....you at least have to get the shot off

:pctoss

[Andy25]

What the fuck ever. Who cares.

[Cant_Be_Faded]

We didn't even get a decent look!!!

seven seconds left?

That goes on the play-caller as well.

Ginobili has been sucking for a month, we shoulda expected that. Why not give it to......ANYONE ELSE?

We should have at least let the ball clang off the rim.

What a wasted once-a-season opportunity

[4>0rings]

Manu you fucking bum, Dice was wide open!

[mexicanjunior]

Manu sucks. Spurs suck.

Yep...tonight they did.

[janetcn12]

Another lost

[Fireball]

I said it earlier that Paul Pierce would close out this game ... just did not think it would be a defensive play

[Spurminator]

Damn Dyess was wide open...

[LnGrrrR]

Damn Spurs I bet they' re going for the 3 instead of tie it :bang

I can't stand when teams do this.

[TE]

wow............................................... .................................................. ......................................oh well, regroup and get back to it.



It can't get any worse then these last two games.

[Creation88]

horrible inbound by Tim, Manu was wide open on the first shot. terrible.

[peskypesky]

Spurs played shitty basketball right to the very last play.

what else can you expect from them? i thought we all agreed that they suck.

[ShoogarBear]

The reason you guys are coming back is because we lost Shaq. As soon as Shaq fouls out we give up a good amount of points. Happened in the Orlando game too.


Way to pay attention. Are you auditioning for Heinsohn's job when he retires?

[Spurs Brazil]

We don't deserve to win a game we allow the opponent to shoot 61%

[Fundamental]

Tough loss, but a valiant effort in the 4th quarter. For those that think Manu is slipping...he's the only reason we stayed in this game.

[MannyIsGod]

That last play was one of the worst I've ever seen Pop draw up. It was fucking obvious what he wanted to do and how he was playing for an offensive rebound. THat shit spacing was horrible for Manu.

[Giuseppe]

Well, per usual my fervent hopes loiter in the confidence that Daddy spills the Spur's plums all over Boston.

Well, it weren't Daddy, but, I'll take it.

Just like that.:lmao

[Ice009]

Why didn't Tim pass Manu the ball the first time. More fucking piss poor judgement.

[peskypesky]

wow............................................... .................................................. ......................................oh well, regroup and get back to it.



It can't get any worse then these last two games.

it'll get worse. we probably won't win another game this season.

[DJ Mbenga]

manu=artest right now

[ginobili fan]

So frustrating. We don't even get a shot off?

I'm sorry, Manu lovers, but the man is playing like shit for about 4 straight weeks now. SHIT.

fixed.

[LnGrrrR]

And Rondo gets his triple-double... though I didn't know they counted rebounds off of blocked shots.

[ShoogarBear]

Hill was just fucking atrocious.

[Banzai]

29-6..still good record.

[timtonymanu]

Whatever. The Spurs didn't deserve this. These two games felt like 09-10. Fuckin bad memories being brought back.

[janetcn12]

Well, well.. rebound in the next game. Go Spurs Go

[ElNono]

At the end of the day, it's the defense...

[Tp9gospursgo]

Looked like he got hit. We wouldnt have even been in the game if Manu didn't step it up.

[MannyIsGod]

Damn Dyess was wide open...

No - he wasn't. He ran to the bottom of the basket next to Duncan and Big Baby. Either he or Duncan stays out and one is open on the wring or under the basket.

[SpursRulez4eVeR]

why didn't tim throw the ball in to manu like he did in denver...

[Crookshanks]

two losses in a row - for the 1st time this season. I'm depressed - not just because we lost last night and tonight, but because the Spurs are looking like crap.

[MB20]

Spurs are the worst team ever. Manu needs to be traded. He is done.

[baseline bum]

That play was fucking terrible. Antonio and Duncan should have been much better spaced because they pretty much allowed that double team.

No shit. Just give Manu the ball and get the fuck out of the way. Run a screen if TP has the ball, but Manu's much better just isolating. :pctoss

[ginobili fan]

29-6..still good record.

This is so frustrating man we're not ven at 30 wins:depressed

[peskypesky]

Yep...tonight they did.

yep. tonight they sucked. that's the Spurs for you!

[KaiRMD1]

Well, at least we played defense in this game. Nothing big to whine about after this loss. Move on to the next game and hopefully Gino will get his groove back with the break

[quentin_compson]

Well, the Spurs wouldn't really have deserved a win tonight. Letting the opponent shoot over 60% should get you a loss on most nights.

[mexicanjunior]

it'll get worse. we probably won't win another game this season.

With defense like that...we might luck into a few more...

[urunobili]

horrible inbound by Tim, Manu was wide open on the first shot. terrible.

yep that was my first comment

[PBEEZY]

spurs are the worst team ever. Manu needs to be traded. He is done.

lmao

[peskypesky]

Spurs are the worst team ever. Manu needs to be traded. He is done.

Spoken like a true Spurs fan! You really fit in here!

[Cant_Be_Faded]

Nothing pisses me off, as a Spurs fan, more than when we have a game-dependent play, and we don't even take a shot that clangs off the basketball rim.

I mean what the fuck? 7.4 seconds left.....that's just inexcusable, at any level of play, even if the Spurs were playing the best defensive team in the NBA. It's inexcusable. Manu was stupid for taking that low-percentage shot...but more importantly the coach calling the play is fucking stupid.

Our spacing has been off since tipoff of the Knicks game....why the hell would we expect great execution for a game-winning shot?

We should have ran something very simple and very close to the rim, just to play the fucking odds.

Bad bad bad bad coaching decision.

I'd rather Hill or Neal have attempted a floater than Manu attempt a 3 off a pick in roll in that position.

bad bad bad, we coulda stolen this one.

Oh well.

If we lose to the Pacers, I take a sabbatical.

[DPG21920]

That was a terrible play combined with excellent Boston defense. All credit goes to them.

[MannyIsGod]

At the end of the day, it's the defense...

They had good defensive spurts though. Its going to take time but there's a foundation to build around.

I promise you Pop is happy they lost and didn't pull out another fluke win.

[mikeschy55]

I told you that you guys would start losing once your schedule got harder, its been a joke until recently.

Beat with With the zebras helping you and with no kg.... Can't beat Boston Orlando Miami or Dallas (when healthy, with or without caron)

[peskypesky]

Well, at least we played defense in this game. Nothing big to whine about after this loss. Move on to the next game and hopefully Gino will get his groove back with the break

who are you kidding? haven't you watched the last 2 games? Spurs are done. Stick a fork in them.

[LnGrrrR]

Way to pay attention. Are you auditioning for Heinsohn's job when he retires?

Late games when Shaq fouls out are when we lose leads, because we have Jermaine O'Neal as our backup center now. (That Turkish rookie is hurt.) And Doc doesn't trust Jermaine to do anything but pull down rebounds.

[angelbelow]

Might be able to steal one here..

Worth a shot.. but good lesson for us though, our defense was fucking terrible tonight.

[4>0rings]

No - he wasn't. He ran to the bottom of the basket next to Duncan and Big Baby. Yes - he was.

[ohmwrecker]

Lakers fans fucking vultures.

[ginobili fan]

Why didn't Manu shot right after his fake over Daniels ?
he could have FT like he always does

[Spurologist]

it'll get worse. we probably won't win another game this season.

your redundant sarcastic remarks have been an epic fail

[Crookshanks]

Well, the Spurs wouldn't really have deserved a win tonight. Letting the opponent shoot over 60% should get you a loss on most nights.

Yeah - and just last week, all the sports guys were commenting on how the Spurs were playing such great defense - Spurs just couldn't stand being the talk of the town.

[peskypesky]

I told you that you guys would start losing once your schedule got harder, its been a joke until recently.

Beat with With the zebras helping you and with no kg.... Can't beat Boston Orlando Miami or Dallas (when healthy, with or without caron)

absolutely. Spurs cannot beat good teams. i'm with you. in fact, most Spurs fans are with you. we wish we could root for a team like the Mavs who are actually good.

[MannyIsGod]

Its just a terrible play call. You can't diagram a play trying to get yourself an offensive rebound. At that point everyone should just be crashing the boards when the shot goes up.

[NRHector]

manu=artest right nowyou are crazy just like Artest, Artest will never be like Manu, go back down stairs

[peskypesky]

your redundant sarcastic remarks have been an epic fail

just like the Spurs season

[KuntryDude]

B2B losses and still #1. Not bad if u asked me.....Calm down folks, we'll be alright.

[angelbelow]

Well, at least we played defense in this game. Nothing big to whine about after this loss. Move on to the next game and hopefully Gino will get his groove back with the break

We actually did NOT play defense.. at least GOOD defense, and Manu was about the only reason why we were able to keep it close.

[MB20]

Spoken like a true Spurs fan! You really fit in here!

Thank you. I'm trying my best! :toast

[DPG21920]

They had good defensive spurts though. Its going to take time but there's a foundation to build around.

I promise you Pop is happy they lost and didn't pull out another fluke win.

:lol Again with this.

Just like Pop was happy they lost to NY so he "could send a message". Did they not get it?

[timtonymanu]

Well we do need some drama for the championship dvd otherwise it will be boring.

[still.focused]

Manu has to give that ball up
Dyess attacking the rim is a way better option that a pump fake off balance 3 over 2 defenders
And Richard Jefferson had regressed

[mexicanjunior]

I promise you Pop is happy they lost and didn't pull out another fluke win.

With Dallas right on their heels for the division lead, I don't see how he could think any loss is a good one.

[Cant_Be_Faded]

No shit. Just give Manu the ball and get the fuck out of the way. Run a screen if TP has the ball, but Manu's much better just isolating. :pctoss

EXACTLY

If we're gonna let Manu play closer, then isolate and give him fucking space. He's fucking great at that.

But after TWO FUCKING GAMES of HORRIBLE spacing, we run a PnR for a Manu three???? And don't give Manu any pass option????


Pop could have won this mother fucking game

This really really pisses me off.
When a career EIGHTY EIGHT percent free throw shooter chokes two free throws away and gives you a gift, you play high percentages.....we did exactly the opposite.

This one's going to hurt even more once we all dwell on it.

[ElNono]

They had good defensive spurts though. Its going to take time but there's a foundation to build around.

I promise you Pop is happy they lost and didn't pull out another fluke win.

Boston shooting over 60%... after letting the Knicks shoot 56%...
The late push came from steals, not actual stops. We couldn't stop anybody on set plays. It's very very bad.

Pop can keep on pulling his schticks... I don't know we have the personnel to really become the defensive team we need to be.

[Budkin]

Without defense we're never going to win it all so we might as well figure it out now.

[peskypesky]

is it time for rebuilding this team?

[PBEEZY]

who are you kidding? haven't you watched the last 2 games? Spurs are done. Stick a fork in them.

Your a shitty ass fan you know that

[DPG21920]

Also what has hurt the Spurs recently (besides Manu's play) is that guys like Neal are struggling. Those 3 balls aren't flowing quite as nice right now.

[ShoogarBear]

Late games when Shaq fouls out are when we lose leads, because we have Jermaine O'Neal as our backup center now. (That Turkish rookie is hurt.) And Doc doesn't trust Jermaine to do anything but pull down rebounds.

Jermaine was the one who fouled out, though.

[peskypesky]

Without defense we're never going to win it all so we might as well figure it out now.

defense? from this Spurs team? not gonna happen.

[Spurologist]

just like the Spurs season

not really....more like when you joined SpursTalk. This is a forum where opinions are expressed. If you want to suck Dick, the Celtics locker room will welcome you

[DrSteffo]

We lost a close back-to-back game against a very good team on their home court. On to the next game...

[MannyIsGod]

:lol Again with this.

Just like Pop was happy they lost to NY so he "could send a message". Did they not get it?

You and I both know Pop doesn't give a shit about the regular season. The players may have come in and got him to try harder for the entire season and not give away games but Pop is still Pop. I'm not saying its what I would do; I'm just pointing out Pop's MO for over 15 years now.

[Bukefal]

That was a terrible play combined with excellent Boston defense. All credit goes to them.

yeah, props to Boston, but what really sucks is that the spurs had a chance to win it nonetheless up until the final second, they got it handed over to them, they could have either gone for the tie or making a 3, and they still managed to fuck that nice chance up. If they lost with 10 point difference I would have felt better.

[LnGrrrR]

Jermaine was the one who fouled out, though.

Blah! Misread the gamecast. <---idiot

[braeden0613]

I hate games like this. Playing like crap and thinking the game is over, then getting our hopes up only to lose on a bad final play. Oh well we have three fairly easy games coming up thankfully

[peskypesky]

Your a shitty ass fan you know that

i know. i've been learning from all the true fans around here that you must always diss your team when they don't have the lead! you can only say good things about them when they are winning. i am a shitty ass fan now and so proud to be one!!

Spurs suck!!!

[ShoogarBear]

Blah! Misread the gamecast. <---idiot

Like I said, Heinsohn material. :lol

[MannyIsGod]

With Dallas right on their heels for the division lead, I don't see how he could think any loss is a good one.

LOL how many years has Pop cared about seeding?

[Giuseppe]

Lakers fans fucking vultures.

What's good for the goose is sauce for the gander.

Daddy-O, you got Rondo'ed. And I mean big time.:lmao

[ElNono]

Did big baby had a career night? It sure felt like it

[peskypesky]

not really....more like when you joined SpursTalk. This is a forum where opinions are expressed. If you want to suck Dick, the Celtics locker room will welcome you

hey, wait a second. why can't i express my newfound opinion that the Spurs suck?

[peskypesky]

I hate games like this. Playing like crap and thinking the game is over, then getting our hopes up only to lose on a bad final play. Oh well we have three fairly easy games coming up thankfully

i hate the Spurs.

[Budkin]

People need to chill out... this is the first time we've lost two games in a row all season.

[u4lakers14]

Lakers fans fucking vultures.

not all of us.

you lost a couple. get over it.

[Spurologist]

If they lost with 10 point difference I would have felt better.

Normally I would agree but Heinsohn's commentary in the last 5 minutes was comedic gold

[LnGrrrR]

Like I said, Heinsohn material. :lol

:lmao :toast

For that, I'm gonna give you a Tommy Point! Yeah!

[ElNono]

LOL how many years has Pop cared about seeding?

Well, they (the FO) said that they felt they couldn't win without a high seed anymore. That teams were too good to be playing series on the road. You either mean what you say, or you don't.

I'm right there with ya this evening, Ln!

it won't be the last time. they're no good. they can't beat the good teams. there will be other back to back losses.

Yeah, I think Pop got convinced, but addicts don't go cold turkey and succeed the first chance. :lol

Pop can't resist any opportunity to toss out the soft card.

[mexicanjunior]

LOL how many years has Pop cared about seeding?

2008 on...I think this year more than ever he realizes how important HCA is. I don't think Manu would be starting otherwise...

[TampaDude]

Wow...Spurs shit the bed there at the end, but still have a chance.

If Manu's 3-pointer had fallen, we'd all be calling Pop a genius.

Shit happens, move on.

You think pop cared about seeding the past two years? Really?

[senorglory]

Also what has hurt the Spurs recently (besides Manu's play) is that guys like Neal are struggling. Those 3 balls aren't flowing quite as nice right now.

I think Neal really forced his shot in the Knicks game. Looking to score, rather than just laying in the cut, and executing when the ball comes to him.

Otherwise, Spurs seem tentative on offense, with outside shooters catching, pumping, then needing to dribble and pass away from coverage, rather than just catching and shooting, like they had been doing.

[peskypesky]

it amazes me how much the Spurs suck. we are the laughing-stock of the league.

[Giuseppe]

None of that movin' on marlakey. We're gonna wallow in this shit for a spell.

Bend over and take it like a trooper.:lmao
