Should be an easy win without Thomas. PGs is usually where the spurs struggle and I cant imagine Smart going supernova on us.

How Boston Changed Its Mind and Lost Out on Tony Parker

SAN ANTONIO -- If only for a couple of minutes, Tony Parker (http://www.espn.com/nba/player/_/id/1015/tony-parker) started thinking about life as a member of the Boston Celtics (http://www.espn.com/nba/team/_/name/bos/boston-celtics). Sitting inside Madison Square Garden and waiting for his name to be called late in the first round of the 2001 NBA draft, Parker had been handed a Celtics cap, an indication that the team planned to select him with the No. 21 pick that was approaching.
But before Boston's selection even went on the clock, former NBA vice president of player development Chrysa Chin, lovingly nicknamed "Hat Lady" by those who received draft-night caps from her through the years, swooped in to retrieve the lid. The Celtics, she apologized, were going in a different direction.
For the better part of the past two decades, fans of the Celtics have lamented how Boston missed out on the opportunity to draft Tim Duncan. The truth is that, once the pingpong balls defied them (http://www.espn.com/nba/story/_/id/15563616/nba-boston-celtics-hoping-draft-lottery-woes-come-end), the Celtics never truly had a chance to nab him.

Now that Duncan has retired, it's time to shift the spotlight to another future Spurs Hall of Famer, one whom the Celtics whiffed three times on picking, none more noticeable than with their final pick in the 2001 draft when Boston instead selected guard Joe Forte.
"I don't remember what happened [with Parker], but normally what happens when a player doesn't get the hat that he's supposed to is there's been a change in the pick or there's been a trade, or a trade is coming, or there was discussion of a trade and maybe it was unsettled," said Chin, who now serves as the executive vice president of strategy and development for the National Basketball Players Association.
"It happens quite a bit where, at that time, I would give a player a hat, then you'd have to go back and get the hat back. Sometimes families want to keep it to sort of document the history and all of that, but it's normally not anything sort of catastrophic. It's sort of an operations issue."
Yes, the perils of live TV. Fortunately, in the days before Twitter and cellphone cameras, no one noticed the switcheroo. Still, poor Parker, who sat in the stands despite not being one of the invited draftees, then had to wait until San Antonio finally selected him with the 28th pick. This time, Chin greeted Parker on the arena floor with a Spurs cap and directed him to the stage. During TNT's broadcast, former Celtics coach Rick Pitino detailed why Parker might have been on Boston's radar.
"The Boston coaching staff, they thought this was the premier point guard in the draft," Pitino said. "They loved him. If Forte was not available, they probably would have gone with Tony Parker. This is someone who is very, very highly valued in the league and can really shoot it and play the point position."
With three picks, including two in the lottery, the Celtics essentially emerged with 48 games of Joe Johnson (http://www.espn.com/nba/player/_/id/1007/joe-johnson) at No. 10; Kedrick Brown, a freak junior college athlete who was heavily rumored to be heading to Portland but never did at No. 11; and one forgettable season with Forte.
Six All-Star appearances and four NBA titles later, it's fair to say things worked out just fine for Parker. But that night has certainly stuck with him.
"[The Celtics] made my eyes water on draft night," Parker recalled during Grantland's BS Report podcast at All-Star weekend in 2013. "I'm going to tell you a true story. True story. True story. The draft, you have that NBA lady, Chrysa -- she comes to me, and it was the 19th pick, she gives me a Celtics cap and says, 'They are going to pick you.' And it was like three minutes left on the clock, and you have five minutes to pick. Then at one minute she comes back and takes the cap, [and says,] 'Oh no, they changed their mind.' They took my cap. I was like, 'What?'
"And so then they drafted Joe Forte. I was always curious what happened. One day I asked the GM, Chris Wallace, I was like, 'What happened in the draft, like when you changed your mind?' Because the day before, I had practiced for Boston. So I did two workouts -- I did the normal workout, then the day before the draft they did a workout. It was Jim O'Brien at the time, the coach, and he was like, 'We want to draft you, but the Spurs are going to try to make a trade at 20, but if you're available at 21, for sure we'll take you.' The coach and the GM, they wanted me, but the president, big boss, he changed his mind."

That big boss, of course, was Red Auerbach, who lit two cigars in celebration of the Forte pick. And while it's now well-documented that Forte was the last hand-picked selection for Auerbach, who had watched Forte play in high school in Maryland and likely trumped those who might have preferred Parker. Remember, too, the pick was widely praised at the time.
In the aftermath of the draft, Auerbach proclaimed that Forte was an, "ideal 2-guard; he can flat-out shoot the ball." Alas, Forte could not flat-out shoot the ball. He made only one field goal in 12 career attempts with Boston. He played a mere 39 minutes in eight games. Thirteen months after drafting Forte, the Celtics traded him to Seattle as part of the package that returned Vin Baker (http://www.espn.com/nba/player/_/id/34/vin-baker) (and somehow that might have been an even worse personnel decision).
Forte is otherwise remembered in Boston only for his curious fashion choices. He once reportedly wore a Magic Johnson jersey to a team meeting, seemingly oblivious at the time to the history between the franchises. He atoned by wearing a Bill Russell (http://www.espn.com/nba/player/_/id/4152/bill-russell) throwback jersey on the bench during one of the games he was inactive for, though he's better remembered for donning a Scooby-Doo sweater in the days before a more stringent NBA dress code.


Forte appeared in just 17 games for Seattle and had an even rougher go there (the Washington Post detailed how he wore a Michael Jordan (http://www.espn.com/nba/player/_/id/1035/michael-jordan)jersey the night of a Wizards game that ended with him getting in a fight in the team showers). Forte's final NBA career averages: 1.2 points, 0.7 rebounds, 0.7 assists over 5 minutes per game. He briefly latched on with the Asheville Attitude of the NBA D-League, playing close to his college roots in North Carolina, before embarking on a decade-long overseas career that included stops in Greece, Italy, Russia, Iran and Israel.
Now in his 16th NBA season, Parker isn't quite the force he once was. But he can still turn back the clock, as he did in Saturday's win over the Hawks when he put up 15 points on 7-of-8 shooting over 20 minutes.
That's nine points more than Forte ever scored for Boston.

Well this a no-excuse type of game that you could officially write off this team if they lay an egg tonight: 3 days of rest + @home + an opponent missing their starting PG..

Celts have probably the softest bigs in NBA, so hopefully Lamarcus showcases himself for his future team..

Thanks my friend. Yes,,imagine how different Parker's career might have been in bean town. Would he have been the Rondo of 2008? (Actually 2008 Tony would have been fearsome on that Celtic team)

[spurs50_]

Can't wait to see if Green and Parker can score in double digits.

[TheGreatYacht]

Smart and Bradley might be the best defensive backcourt in the league tbh

[BatManu20]

Damn. How much rest does he need? Either he is injured or maybe those malcontent rumors are true...

Yea idk. This is weird to rest your 2nd best player after 3 days of not playing. I would lean towards the former, but who knows.

[NASpurs]

I had to make a thread for it, shit is too hilarious. :lol

[TheGreatYacht]

To be fair, LMA was getting ran to the ground in Portland. Was always up there in MPG with Luol Deng.

Also has shown he's willing to play while with a broken hand.

This has Pop written all over it.

[Spur|n|Austin]

Dude what? LMA out for rest; he has to be injured...

Spurs typically release a bit of information when it comes to injuries though, so this is strange.

[r0drig0lac]

Smart and Bradley might be the best defensive backcourt in the league tbh

maybe, imo conley and tony allen

I've been saying that for a while. His defense is vastly overrated.

2-3 shots per game is fine.

2-3 every 3 minutes isn't, tbh.

Celtics don't play defense, they play fucking rugby. I don't think I've seen a team this season push and shove on literally every play. Their screens are almost universally terrible. Earlier someone grabbed Manu and physically held his hand to prevent him from getting around the pick.

This is how to play. They almost always hustle and adjust as the refs call fouls. Very well coached. They are a tough team, especially without their best scorer.

Fuck that. Physically restraining someone to set a pick is not basketball. It's not how you learn to play effective defense because you take shortcuts to stopping the other team.

Truly EFFECTIVE defense is moving your feet, not tackling the other player. It's lazy.

If they get beat they do what any team should do.

Dedmon needs more minutes.

[spursistan]

Porky:OUt
Spurs: Immediate run

:lmao

[sasaint]

Manu passed up a shot at the end of the half. :wow

:lmao

[SpurPadre]

Genial Manu!

[100%duncan]

Manu passed up a shot at the end of the half. :wow
:lol

[ElNono]

lol that defense from Simms

[Kawhitstorm]

Evita playing well

Threat of deportation is a huge motivation factor, tbh.:wakeup

[HI-FI]

Kawhi looks slimmer imo.

[ElNono]

the best part of that half is that Fathead didn't play, tbh

[FkLA]

Porky:OUt
Spurs: Immediate run

:lmao

:rollin

[spurs10]

Enrique sits and the Spurs build a 7 point lead in like 2 minutes :lmao Tony is either playing a mentally game of trying to give them a false sense of self confidence or ....something? Great D at the end!!

[TheGreatYacht]

[Kawhitstorm]

More like starting backcourt out.:wakeup

[100%duncan]

Fuck that guy <3

[pgardn]

Damn Simmons.

He was going right and never changed his mind.
All the athletic ability in the world and he can't see the bull run coming at the end of the half.

[ElNono]

Maybe Tony's asscheeks are bothering him again... we need him healthy for the playoffs, tbh

[sasaint]

Parker benched... back on track...

Surely Pop can't deny the obvious for the rest of this season AND next. :depressed

[BillMc]

Simmons gonna be in Pop's doghouse again.

[spursistan]

Lee/Dedmon have been a huge steal...This team would've looked worse without both providing those key minutes..

[BillMc]

Bertans really needs to hit a 3. It's getting mental (for me)

[sasaint]

lol that defense from Simms

Not good. But after the buzzer, the players were all looking around at one another like there was confusion on the team defense to end the half.

[BillMc]

I've been in Eastern Europe too long, NBA cheerleaders look fat.:lol

[TimDunkem]

I've been saying that for a while. His defense is vastly overrated.
I've noticed that, for being such a "great" defender, no one loses his man or leaves his feet as much as he does.

He's good some nights, but not one of the best in the league that so many here seem to claim he his.

[Kawhitstorm]

Lee/Dedmon have been a huge steal...This team would've looked worse without both providing those key minutes..

If only Pau wasn't subtraction by addition.:bang

[sasaint]

I've been in Eastern Europe too long, NBA cheerleaders look fat.:lol

I think you just obligated yourself to post a few pics to show us what you are accustomed to in Eastern Europe.

[Kawhitstorm]

You'll be getting a scolding PM from Chinook tonight:lol

[Robz4000]

That easy bucket at the end of the half really pissed me off. Otherwise great close to it; Manu, Patty, Lee, and Kawhi putting in work.

[FaM0us Skins]

Let's keep up the great ball movement during the 2nd half

[Ron Swanson]

:claw

[TheGreatYacht]

Celtics front office should be fired for drafting a bunch of busts and maxing out the Dominican Carlos Boozer

[bklynspursfan]

There goes the Spurs worst defender :wakeup

[spurtech09]

KL !!!!!

[sasaint]

Nice defensive recovery by three of our guys.

[spursistan]

Porky :lmao

[FkLA]

Why is Enrique shooting or even on the floor?

[SpurPadre]

TP can't seem to do anything right tonight.

[Kawhitstorm]

Why is Enrique shooting or even on the floor?

For the same reason Austin Rivers got a 40 mill contract.:wakeup

[bklynspursfan]

Yea guys, Parker shouldn't take shots when he has a good look. Makes sense

[Ron Swanson]

Crowder :lol

[Kawhitstorm]

TOSB P:lolrker begging for calls.:lmao

[spurtech09]

KL dunk mania tonight.

[FkLA]

Why is Porky shooting? Jesus Christ just be content with being a game manager you egotistical fat fuck.

[TheGreatYacht]

Pau Westbrook :wow

[bklynspursfan]

Pau with some nice passing out there .

[HI-FI]

MVPau

[SpurPadre]

Yea guys, Parker shouldn't take shots when he has a good look. Makes sense

He shouldn't take open shots when it's well established he can't make them anymore because he's way past his expiration date and Kawhi is on the floor.

[FaM0us Skins]

:claw

[DAF86]

Paugic Jonhsol






No? Ok, sorry.

[SpursIndonesia]

If only Pau wasn't subtraction by addition.:bang

Just give him a bit more time, i think he is just pacing him self & getting his conditioning back while adjusting to the new team.

[TheGreatYacht]

Why is Porky shooting? Jesus Christ just be content with being a game manager you egotistical fat fuck.
Did he cuck you bro? :lol

[spurtech09]

Why is Enrique shooting or even on the floor?
Why do you keep asking the same question.

[Kawhitstorm]

Point G:wowd Pau >>>> Porker

[spursistan]

Gasol maybe a TOSB, but he blows Aldridge out of the water when it comes to passing acumen..

[palangi]

You'll be getting a scolding PM from Chinook tonight:lol

That or a 15 paragraph scolding of some stat metrics

[LoneStarState'sPride]

That outlet pass from Pau......

[gambit1990]

TP can't seem to do anything right tonight.
can be said for most of the games he's played in this season.
