Game Blog: Spurs @ Celtics - April 4, 2012

[Amuseddaysleeper]

The Celtics have been on fire lately, 16-5 since the ASB.

Ray Allen is expected to return tonight (most likely off the bench, with Avery Bradley as the starting SG)

I asked fellow poster BadOne if I could use it. He was the one who made it.

It's hilarious, eh? :lol

[xellos88330]

Fuck 'em up Spurs!!!

[Mugen]

Well, someones getting hurt now.

[Amuseddaysleeper]

Well, someones getting hurt now.

Since we're playing the Celtics, hopefully I can jinx someone on the green side :king

[freetiago]

this guy making blogs= spurs player injured

not expecting a win tonight
boston always plays well vs the spurs
last time they played us at home rondo had 22 points and he won the game by killing us from mid range
ray allens also back to punish green for going under screens

itll be a good game though
last time at boston we came back from being down by like 10 in the final minute to take the gamewinner
which pierce fouled ginobili on but it was a no call and celtics won

Bass is going to feast on Blair, look for him to score 16-20.

I hope Garnett kills Duncan. A very talented deep spurs team we got here. A coue days off with a practice I expect a win. They don't play defense like they used to so Rondo will kill. Bradley's gonna take Manu out & with KG on Timmy, we got this! 31-22 & 2-0 in April let's go!

[freetiago]

i actually agree with his predictions
avery bradley might be the best guard defender ive ever seen in a long long time
tony allen is considered the best by most people but he gambles to much for my taste
as much as he steals the ball he probably gives up 2-4 points per steal he gets playing the passing lanes
would like to see Sjack and manu post up bradley since hes pretty undersized
dont think garnet will kill duncan though, more like nuetralize, they have the same game these days
knowing pop hell put blair on garnett though


vqqqQT2lL9A

actually looks like the whole entire team killed us from midrange
and rondo made more jumpers that game than he did the entire season

[spurs_fan_in_exile]

Take a shot every time someone refers to these teams as "veteran ball clubs" and hope that you aren't heading down a tunnel towards a bright light by the end of the 1st quarter.

You just don't see Manu getting shut down or taken out his game very often. He's seen all kinds of defenders in his career. And we run so many pick and rolls, so it's not like Manu is going to be ISO'ing him like a lot of other 2 guards do.

[spurs10]

Go Spurs Go!!

[Horse]

I want this one bad not many players I've hated more than Gay-g or the leagues biggest pussy(besides maybe chris paul) ray allen. Fuck them our depth will overcome. They don't rebound or play D like they used to. And let's see rondo consistently hit his jumper again.

[Venti Quattro]

I think the Celtics will win because they're going to be riding that gagging that they did to Miami.

I have not seen Avery Bradley much but from what I have seen he really looks like a beast defender tbh.

It'll be tough, but it's a great test.

[Fireball]

that block against Wade is nasty ...

[thispego]

Seriously, you're so hard up to make game blogs that you have to start a new one even though every time you've starte one someone on the spurs gets injured? Not saying I believe in that shit, but why would you tempt fate? Attention whore methinks.

[thispego]

that block against Wade is nasty ...

It was a foul, he had a hand-full of jersey the whole time

[Venti Quattro]

It was a foul, he had a hand-full of jersey the whole time

Bradley had his arm on Wade, not hand on his jersey.

[Manu-20]

I think manu can find a way to score on bradley he has seen every defense possible and is a very crafty player. It wouldnt suprise me to see the spurs just blow out the celtics or on the other hand it could go the other way.

[Brazil]

Amused with the game blog :bang we're doomed... :smchode:

[CitizenDwayne]

God I hate the Celtics. Please win.

[Fireball]

As a proud ST member since 2004, I ask all of you:

Have I wronged you in any way? (unless you manage a taco bell and have no friends)

Do I not have a right to celebrate the Spurs in the game blogs amongst my fellow brothers?

For years I have fought, hugged, and cherished many of the great Spurs moments over the years with all of you.

Can I not be allowed to make a game blog without being vilified over some minor injuries, which at the end of the day, allowed us to grab the 2nd best seed in the West and counting?

So please friends, let us not hate, but simply band together, and celebrate the pending victory against the Celtics.

Tell you what, if a single Spurs player gets injured, I will not start another game blog for the remainder of the week.

God bless you all.

Better make it the rest of the season, including the playoffs. It'd be 4 times out of 4 for injuries tbh.

If another Spur gets hurt tonight, I propose a full-fledged pinking.

I like ya, Amused....but we gotta do what we gotta do.

[Cant_Be_Faded]

Rajon Rondo's scouter is going to explode on his face when he realizes that Tony Parker's power level is OVER NINE THOUSAND!!!

0CDUQtwIwAA

[NASpurs]

If Avery Bradley is starting, do you put Parker on him and put Green on Rondo or is that asking for trouble?

[Mugen]

If another Spur gets hurt tonight, I propose a full-fledged pinking.

I like ya, Amused....but we gotta do what we gotta do.

Agreed.

I like Amused as well, but it's a bit silly that he's still starting gameblogs after the previous ones. It's happened enough that it's more of a trend than coincidence tbh :depressed

[Mugen]

Unless it's Bonner, then he deserves a Spur.

[Obstructed_View]

fuk yo band together, clown

Unless it's Bonner, then he deserves a Spur.

And that's the thing, bud, I keep trying to help Pop fix his big rotation but no dice so far

If a player gets injured tonight, I want your nuts on a silver platter, friend

[Budkin]

This is going to be a tough one.

[NRHector]

Spurs got this game, why? because they're the GD Spurs :flag:

[crc21209]

This should be a very good test for the Spurs. The Spurs have won 8 straight overall and 4 straight on the road. The Celtics have won 5 straight overall and 8 straight at home....

[timtonymanurich]

Rondo is the most over-hyped, over rated, over everything PG. NO WONDER he has 300+ assists a game! If I had KG Pierce and Allen on MY team I had BETTER be passing the ball! Tony usually out plays Rondo and Crayon Rondo won't be near as efficient.

X-factor tonight? Danny Green. He's a matchup issue for the slow and jumper-happy Pierce.

Spurs tonight by 9 - 88-97

I would disagree and say he's underrated and under-hyped. Solid defender who facilitates well and is strong at the rim.

[NASpurs]

Ray Allen will start for Celtics

---------------

Parker on Rondo and Green on Allen it is then. Kind of hoping Bradley would have started and Green would have been put on Rondo.

[Fireball]

Ray Allen will start for Celtics

of course he does

[TheSkeptic]

This. Dude does everything for that team.

[Manu-20]

Splitter and Diaw could be huge tonight both are quick on their feet guarding the pick and roll so that will be a big help with rondo.

[ViceCity84]

If Celtics win and snap the Spurs winning streak.ESPN would be in FULL BLOWN Celtics nuts mode.

today are okc-mia and la-la games, so i don't expect anyone talk about this game.... even if this was the best game of the night ESPN would still talk about atlanta defeating the bobcats or something like that so who cares about the media.

[benefactor]

Celtics call.

Vomit.

[Arcadian]

Why isn't this game on ESPN tonight? They could and should show this as a lead-in to the Lakers-Clippers game. It would work perfectly. Spurs-Celtics will end around 9:00, Lakers-Clippers starts at 9:30.

Can anyone recommend me a method for viewing the game online?

[TDomination]

Danny Green! Beautiful!

fuck KG is going to make that shot all night

[maverick1948]

Is it not against the rules to have a "MOVING SCREEN"?

[ElNono]

Go Spurs Go! :flag:

[100%duncan]

I fear that this game will end our winning streak.

Danny needs to make those open three's.

[Tp9gospursgo]

God I hate the Celtics.

[timtonymanu]

Terrible defense

[Robz4000]

Green and Blair carrying the offense.

[bbarry]

terrible defense so far.

[Chachachango]

TP pass it to Kawhi, fucker.

[Tp9gospursgo]

When did Rondo learn how to shoot?

[BanditHiro]

of course rondo makes his jumpshots.

[bbarry]

better play some D or C's are gonna make everything. They are one of the best and most efficient teams in the entire league.

[Cane]

Parker sucks vs Rondo

[100%duncan]

Gonna go out for awhile. Streaming sucks

[timtonymanu]

Every fucking time we face Rondo, he turns into the best jump shooter.

[Texas_Ranger]

sleeping

[Chachachango]

WTF?

Tony stop bitching and start making plays.

[timtonymanu]

So many points in the paint for the Celtics. Our starters look lazy.

[ace3g]

time to bring in starting line up #2 (AKA bench)

[DAF86]

Duncan isn't even trying there on defense.

[timvp]

How are those not fouls on Parker's jumpers? I guess you are allowed to bump shooters in Boston.

[100%duncan]

Good thing is they're already in the zone while our spurs are not yet and their within 5

[jestersmash]

Tony's complaining to the refs after that timeout. Refs not agreeing with him. Hopefully that doesn't work against him as the game progresses (think: boy that cried wolf)

[bklynspursfan]

Parker has gotten fouled 2x. Pick and Pop defense has to get better. Blair looks solid

[maverick1948]

Gonna be a long night 8 on 5. Looks like Big David wants the Celtics to win the damn game one way or the other.

[DAF86]

And Tony is rushing things up on offense.

[Manu-20]

tony needs to step it up but overall not a horrible start to the game but spurs need to pick up the intensity ovearll

[MaNu4Tres]

Pierce showing so much emotion after lay-ups. The dude has so much heart.

[EVAY]

How are those not fouls on Parker's jumpers? I guess you are allowed to bump shooters in Boston.

That's what he was complaining about to the ref. Won't do any good in Boston's house, though.

[timvp]

Pop likes to turn the Celtics into the 72-win Bulls by insisting on going under all screens, tbh.

[Manu-20]

How are those not fouls on Parker's jumpers? I guess you are allowed to bump shooters in Boston.
yup noticed that to tony was fouled at least once on those plays sucks the refs arent calling those so far

[ace3g]

SJAX posting up, love it!!!

[100%duncan]

Jackson baby

[Robz4000]

Jacks already makin an impact!

[Chachachango]

That arena is are as exciting as my sex life.

[bbarry]

How are those not fouls on Parker's jumpers? I guess you are allowed to bump shooters in Boston.

yep. allen extended his arm on green while green was going in for the layup. and parker has been shoved by rondo twice already.

[100%duncan]

Love the timeout Pop!

[CitizenDwayne]

"Parker hit Rondo with a hook, got away with it..."

Commentators are dicks. That is all.

[bklynspursfan]

Another foul not called for TP

[ace3g]

man refs have a bounty on TP tonight

[Chachachango]

Our superhero, Bonner, is coming in. Woooooooooooo

[bbarry]

okay so it appears refs will let them play. as long as its consistent then i'm fine with it.

[bklynspursfan]

There we go TP

[bklynspursfan]

Jackson making things happen

[100%duncan]

Let's Go! Bastards

[HeroSquad]

Tony playing angry

[CitizenDwayne]

"Duncan got away with one there. Because he's Duncan!"

Keep it up, commentators.

[timvp]

Parker has been damn good so far. Not sure what game some posters in this thread are watching, tbh. Even his first few misses were great looks.

[Manu-20]

There you go spurs good ball movment and picking up their energy leading to good things

[timtonymanu]

Better effort now.

[BanditHiro]

might as well put blair on garnett. garnett is not going to post up

[jestersmash]

I love the fact that they're aggressively going to Jackson on isolation plays whenever he has a clear mismatch.

[Warlord23]

OK, starting lineup held serve. Now let's see the bench come in and extend the advantage.

[EVAY]

Our offense sure got crisper once Jackson came in.

[100%duncan]

Sjax and TP gonna carry us to the win if we will.

[bklynspursfan]

"Duncan got away with one there. Because he's Duncan!"

Keep it up, commentators.

Idiots... TD Went straight up

[Spurs Brazil]

Great job by Tony on this run

Jax also playing well

[timvp]

Jackson brought instant vet savvy :tu

[Nathan89]

Jackson screen for Tp is a nice play because the Jack has Rondo on him. We'd be fucked if we still had Rj. He couldn't do any of the things Jack has done so far.

[ajballer4]

Letting Garnett beat us is a good strategy

[Libri]

Tony playing angry

:ihit :flag:

[Darius Bieber]

Couple people pissing me off:

1. The refs.
2. The Celtics' PA Announcer.
3. Paul Pierce's screams when he drove to the bucket over Kawhi.

[bklynspursfan]

TIago!

[ace3g]

good move from Splitter

[Tp9gospursgo]

Great move from Tiago

[Chachachango]

tiaaaaaaaaago LOLOLOLOLOl tiaaaaago.

[timtonymanu]

Even though it's nearly 10 games in already, it's so hard to believe we actually have Jack back :tu

[bklynspursfan]

Timmy 0 points 6 rebounds. I'll take it

[EVAY]

Nice block out by Splitter.

[ace3g]

Sjax!!!

[CitizenDwayne]

Celtics commentators on Tiago: "Well he's from Brazil. And he's...uh...one of those international players."

[TheSkeptic]

Timmy 0 points 6 rebounds. I'll take it

Yeah. I'm really impressed with the work he's done on the glass.

[bklynspursfan]

Captain Jack baby!

[Robz4000]

SJax is the heart and soul of this team right now

[Tp9gospursgo]

Action Jackson!!! Great hustle there.

[TDfan2007]

Jackson has brought a lot of intensity to the game. I don't like Timmy's defense tonight. Rondo of course is hitting everything tonight.

[100%duncan]

Jackson punking cho asses

[Amuseddaysleeper]

Sjax is a beast!!!

[ace3g]

did Bonner actually play D?

[EVAY]

Do these refs have an early flight or something?

[BanditHiro]

holy fuck rondo is perfect on his jumpshots.

[maverick1948]

Fantastic D by Bonner on 2 GUARDS !!!!!!

[Tp9gospursgo]

Rondo always tries to pull something fancy instead of making the simple pass.

[Cane]

Rondo plays like he's trying to earn 10's from judges, too fancy for his own good

[Manu-20]

Jackson is like a boss out there love it

[ace3g]

SJAX drawing the foul on Pierce (2 PF now)

[100%duncan]

Commentators like then make games like this good, bad to watch.

[bklynspursfan]

Jackson really making a lot happen.

[Spurs Brazil]

Jax very aggressive

[timtonymanu]

holy fuck rondo is perfect on his jumpshots.

Every time we play them. Spurs can't figure out how to defend him.

[TDfan2007]

the Spurs are packing the paint and daring the Celtics to hit from the outside. Dangerous strategy, especially since the Celtics only have one slasher on the entire team, but I'll take the results.

[Fireball]

it would be helpful if Bonner makes this shot

Jackson really looks for Splitter in the PnR

where is this Celtics defense?

[bklynspursfan]

After that fast start, turned out to be a solid defensive first quarter (2nd half of it)

[Chachachango]

Really? Fuck u refs.

[bklynspursfan]

Dammit Manu be smarter

[bbarry]

manu just.... fouled rondo on a long FG attempt.... seriously?

[100%duncan]

[EVAY]

Manu got caught with how own game.

horrible bailout foul by Manu there...

Manu, that was a Dirk-esque foul. You let Rondo shoot that 100 times out of 100.

[maverick1948]

2nd unit doing the job again. Starters keep it even then the bench takes over..

And that was not a foul on Manu. Look how Rondo jumps on top of him going SIDEWAYS!!!!!!!!!!!

[Fireball]

bad mistake Manu ... let him shoot that shit

[Manu-20]

stupid play manu

[TDfan2007]

that FT looked nasty...

[Thompson]

Sean: "Stephen Jackson: killer... instinct"

Working on LeBron's psyche? :lol

[EVAY]

rondo also got a TON of points against Miami the other night.

He is playing great right now.

[angelbelow]

it would be helpful if Bonner makes this shot

Jackson really looks for Splitter in the PnR

where is this Celtics defense?

KG on the bench. The celtics have no depth and you can see how its hurting them offensively and defensively.

They have a no name center playing (ill admit I dont know anything about him) and Brandon Bass (notoriously horrible defender.) Bradley looks good so far but has no offensive.

[TDfan2007]

early on Manu and Tim seems to have their heads up their asses. Manu started that play too late.

[Tp9gospursgo]

What a save

[Robz4000]

First quarter was ugly early, then got better once SJax got put in.

[100%duncan]

alright. good quarter overall/

[CitizenDwayne]

lol Rondo. And we were all so upset about the foul

[timtonymanu]

Good quarter. Celtics were on pace to score 30 considering the early bad D. Glad the Spurs woke up.

[Manu-20]

solid quater by the spurs

[EVAY]

Okay, Manu has already had his quotient of bone-headed plays for the night. He will calm down and be brilliant in the second quarter. (hope)

[Spurs Brazil]

Good 1st quarter, especially after Pop timeout

[Fireball]

Manu really has problems against this Avery kid

[TDfan2007]

Good GOD those Ford commercials are comically awful.

[wildbill2u]

Rondo and Bass on target to play 48 minutes and Pierce 45. Think they can keep up that pace.

Rondo misses 2 FTs. tongue hanging out?

[timvp]

Tbh, the Spurs bench should destroy the Celtics bench.

[Dex]

Now if they...could just...find me a guard.

[timtonymanu]

:lol Neal is so pedo looking in that car commercial.

Splitter with an Oscar worthy line : Now if they could just find me a guard.

[Chachachango]

I'm really liking this Directv HD/

[Fireball]

SJax +12

[Manu-20]

lol dam Tiago and Gary have some of the dumbest commericals Ive seen and are such terrible actors but thats what makes it so great.

[jestersmash]

Rondo is a 59.3% free throw shooter? I didn't realize his FT% was that low.

The probability of Rondo getting 2 points on free throws is (.593)^2 = 35.1%

The probability of Rondo nailing an open 2 point jumper is approximately his FG% = 45.1% (since he doesn't shoot many 3 pointers).

Eh...it worked out on that possession at least.

[Arcadian]

Parker has been damn good so far. Not sure what game some posters in this thread are watching, tbh. Even his first few misses were great looks.

So if you miss great looks, is that good or bad?

[BanditHiro]

24 points in the paint :toast

[maverick1948]

Good GOD those Ford commercials are comically awful.


When are they going to make a commercial with Sarah in it? Bud is letting us down.

[TDfan2007]

Well...awful start here.

[Robz4000]

lol 5 point swing

[BanditHiro]

of course sasha is going to beat us.

[timtonymanu]

Fucking Pavlovic? Really?

[bklynspursfan]

Bonner on KG lol

[Texas_Ranger]

lol Bonner sucks

[TDfan2007]

KG came to play tonight. He always gets up for games against Timmy.

[Chachachango]

Come on Neal. Get your D.

[Robz4000]

Neal with it.

[Tp9gospursgo]

Uhh....whats happened?

[TDfan2007]

Gary needs to sit. His defense has been awful.

[timtonymanu]

Okay, I guess they want to go back to bad defense.

[NASpurs]

Was that Mills coming in for Neal and Pop called him off after Neal hit that three? :lol

[Robz4000]

This is nuts

[BanditHiro]

wow gary neal is getting abused.

[ElNono]

lol "go to whoever Gary Neal is guarding"

[NASpurs]

Get Neal out of there, Jesus. Lousy defense.

[CitizenDwayne]

...*waits on someone to get a stop

[HeroSquad]

Neal is getting destroyed by Bradley

[Texas_Ranger]

bonner stays... ROFLMAO!!

[Pauleta14]

Tbh, the Spurs bench should destroy the Celtics bench.

:toast :lol

[bklynspursfan]

I remember Bonner punking KG in his Toronto days.. Can't find the vid now

[EVAY]

So Pop leaves Bonner in and takes Splitter out?

[Fireball]

shit ... both teams play no defense

[Chachachango]

Just Get Neal out.

[TDfan2007]

What a move by Danny!

[ElNono]

lol taking out Manu and Splitter...

[bklynspursfan]

Dam no one is missing

[timtonymanu]

Defense came back to earth.

[CitizenDwayne]

Celtics commentators subtly arguing over whether that goaltend was going in or not...surreal.

[Robz4000]

Thank you Bonner

[TheSkeptic]

I'm so confused. So they have Steisma and Garnett out there but we're not even going to try the Twin Towers line up? I don't think Bonner can guard either of those players.
