Game Thread: Spurs @ Celtics - Jan. 8, 2020 @ 6:00 PM CT

[timvp]

Can the Spurs make it two upset wins in a row?

Kori's preview: https://www.spurstalk.com/preview-prediction-san-antonio-spurs-boston-celtics-january-8-2020/

[BillMc]

Spurs by 6

[RC_Drunkford]

Spurs will need to change their offense to Aldridge post ups for this one. There's nobody on the Celtics that can guard him. The other question is: Can Bryn Forbes guard Jason Tatum?

[emanueldavidginobili]

It will be interesting to see what Pop does for the starting lineup. There’s literally no one to hide Bryn on...Tatum, Brown, Hayward? Kemba hasn’t played in the last three games he’s been sick but upgraded to questionable for tonight’s game.

[Fireball]

yeah Bryn is a problem against the Celtics because anybody on their team can attack him ... the only solution to the Bryn problem is to allocate all his minutes to DJ, White and Walker ... maybe Carroll for spot minutes. Lets see how long it takes for Pop to realize that ...

[Sugus]

The news of Forbes not starting would be better than any outcome this game can have, tbh. :flag:

[BatManu20]

Let’s get it.


:flag:

[JeffDuncan]

The Spurs are ahead of the Celtics in many of the league statistics. The notable stat where the Spurs trail is the number of 3pt shots made, where the Spurs are last in the league. However, the Celtics are not great at that, they rank 22nd.

In the last five games, the Celtics' three wins were against weak teams, the Hornets, Hawks, and Bulls. They lost to a Raptors team that was not at full strength.

If the Spurs play well they should win this. Fingers crossed.

Go Spurs Go!

[JPB]

Are there russian girls to chat with in Boston?

[FkLA]

:lol Forms on either Tatum or Brown

Is Kemba back for this game? If he's still out, maybe DJ can take one of them and Forms can guard Smart or whoever is starting at PG for them.

[RC_Drunkford]

Kemba is playing tonight. Good luck Brent Forms

[NASpurs]

Go Spurs Go!

Should? Just look at our road record this year and the "tough" competition we've beaten.

I think it's more like, if the Spurs play well, they should probably lose by less than double digits.

[SpurSpike]

Kemba is playing tonight. Good luck Brent Forms

At least Kemba will be under a minutes restriction. Stevens said he wont be playing his usual minutes.

[spurs10]

Yeah I like Kori's spirit! Spurs by two!

[Mugen]

Celtics easily cover tbh :lol

[John B]

Spurs by 10. We got this :clap

[KobesAchilles]

Historically, Forbes has played very good defense on Kemba. Brown this year is up and down and I fully expect him to play badly. Look for Forbes to have another breakout game

[RC_Drunkford]

Spurs don't have a chance on the road

[KobesAchilles]

Btw I fully expect to see all of y’all’s written apologies in my thread after Forbes scores in double digits (Hitting 3+ threes) and plays his ass off on defense...Again. Like he has all year

[RD2191]

Celts by 20+ tbh

[RD2191]

Btw I fully expect to see all of y’all’s written apologies in my thread after Forbes scores in double digits (Hitting 3+ threes) and plays his ass off on defense...Again. Like he has all year

No wonder we're 15-20.

[RD2191]

:lmao

[Shakril]

Stop smoking weed. Forbes plays terrible. One Decent game once in a while does not exonorate him.

[boutons_deux]

Celts 14-2 at home, gonna be tough one.

[vander]

I'm starting to believe again. All the Spurs have to do is make 18 or more 3's at 55% or greater and this is a win

[BlackAndWhite]

This one could be brutal

[NASpurs]

crofl Forbes is starting again. Fuck this, I'm out.

[emanueldavidginobili]

I really want to know the game plan with Byrn defending anyone in this starting lineup

[emanueldavidginobili]

DJ needs to go up strong.

[r0drig0lac]

amazing start

[spurs1990]

No complaints helluva start

[RC_Drunkford]

man this really looks like a completely different team since we made those trades

[Gorepopovich]

Wow. :clap

[boutons_deux]

white hot starts are scary, since they always cool off

[212094ever]

Nice start

[r0drig0lac]

Murray in all star mode

[tholdren]

crofl Forbes is starting again. Fuck this, I'm out.
Forbes has 3 assists and 2 steals dummy

[MannyIsGod]

Really enjoying Murrays play to start. Really nice.

[Ron Swanson]

Ok start

[tholdren]

Spurs have 3 million points in 5 min and the pg has 0 assists... say what

[KDKSpurs24]

I will continue to say it. Big 1st quarter leads usually never last. (I’m not saying Boston will come back and win but I’m saying they will make it close)

[emanueldavidginobili]

I hate huge leads in the 1st Q

[Robz4000]

You just know the Celtics will have the lead a minute or two into the second quarter tbh.

[emanueldavidginobili]

LA is damn near automatic from 3 recently yet he’s hesitating on everyone tonight.

[timtonymanu]

I will continue to say it. Big 1st quarter leads usually never last. (I’m not saying Boston will come back and win but I’m saying they will make it close)

Well we did this against Houston and Milwaukee on the road recently. I’m not buying into this hot start yet.

[RC_Drunkford]

Mills just gave up 3 wide open 3s. He's doing his "let me just run past my man" fake close out

[212094ever]

Gotta attack the offensive glass against this team

[r0drig0lac]

wow

[Gorepopovich]

Walker!!

[Bill_Brasky]

Damn Lonnie lookin good. Caused a TO, then picked up a Patty deflection and got the finish on the open court.

[Emperor]

Lakers don't want this smoke in the first round.

[spurs1990]

They flipped the switch

[Gorepopovich]

Tacko vs San Antonio Tacos.

[vander]

LA is damn near automatic from 3 recently yet he’s hesitating on everyone tonight.

isn't that just LMA? he always looks like he's hesitating on open shots

[212094ever]

Lonnie!

[emanueldavidginobili]

Man Lonnie’s shot is smooth.

[r0drig0lac]

In a short time, the game will become very easy for Walker.

[timtonymanu]

Lonnie SkyWalker!

[YoungbuckMurray]

Why is Bryn guarding kemba. Typical Pop

[BlackAndWhite]

I pray they hold onto the lead

[Ibleedslvrnblk]

In before the normal NBA blown 20 point lead in first half..

[emanueldavidginobili]

Forbes is a little kid out there.

[Gorepopovich]

Lonnie and Murray running:

https://t3.thpservices.com/previewimage/gallil/ec4c89117ac873ecfd7275ce5cc8bab7/rdc-ad_604.jpg

[TimDunkem]

NBA teams aren't very smart. You would think they would attack Forbes even more than they already do. Celts are passing up chances to score.

Lmao As I typed this, Wanamaker scored on Forbes.

[MoSpur02]

That drive and dish by Murray is beautiful. It isn't much though if Lyles doesn't do a good job of moving without the ball.

[MoSpur02]

Great help D by LaMarcus

[Ron Swanson]

DDR just abused Hayward

[tbdog]

DD, what a beautiful post move.

[KDKSpurs24]

Rudy can’t dribble! I have no clue why he always wants to push the ball himself especially when Derozan is running right next to him

[TimDunkem]

Celts haven't scored much but, when they have, it was on Forbes or after a drive on him.

[MoSpur02]

Horrible job closing out the half, but overall it was a very good half of basketball for the good guys.

[KDKSpurs24]

Why didn’t Rudy shoot the open 3...?

[timtonymanu]

Solid 1st half, tbh. But as we saw from that last Houston game, Celtics can still pull away with this. Spurs have a bad 3rd quarter, they will lose.

[XDT76]

Is White and Walker playing bad? Why is Forbes playing same as their combined mins?

[RD2191]

Strong half. Got sloppy there towards the end. Things should even out in the 3rd qtr so hopefully we stay playing smart and efficient ball. Pop needs to keep Mills and Forbes off the floor together, Celts don't need any extra help getting back into this.

[r0drig0lac]

this is an unbelievably efficient season for Demar

[spurraider21]

derozan's streak is pretty impressive tbh... and he's going to add to it today

[RC_Drunkford]

looking at the box score you wonder why White and Walker don't play more minutes. Curious to see how this team starts the 2nd half. Spurs usually come out flat and commit a bunch of stupid turnovers for the first minute or 2. They need to keep their foot on the gas and never let the Celtics back in

[RC_Drunkford]

Is White and Walker playing bad? Why is Forbes playing same as their combined mins?

they are playing well. We all ask ourselves that question my friend

[FkLA]

I think we're back, boys. :cry

[FkLA]

Top 5 team in the league when Pop starts treating his son Forms like the g-leaguer that he is, tbh.

[JuneJive]

They are playing "could make some noise in the playoffs" basketball right here.

[CGD]

If this does mark the beginning of a turnaround, all these things appeared have have happened at the same time:

1. LMA taking more threes
2. Greater role of Lonnie
3. Decreased role for Belli
4. DeMar playing as a facilitator
5. More consistent play from Murray

Of course as I say this watch the team flop in the second half.

[ZeusWillJudge]

I think we're back, boys. :cry


They've got a 1 game streak going. :tu

[RD2191]

:pop:

[RD2191]

They've got a 1 game streak going. :tu

:lol

[RD2191]

Let's not start blowing each other just yet, still got a half to go.

[ZeusWillJudge]

Best first step ever. Don't forget, the Spurs held their own with the Bucks for a while. They look good right now.

[TimDunkem]

You can never be too confident about today's Spurs holding a lead, but they'll ride this one out if Borbes and Gay's minutes are limited.

Now just limit Fryn Burbs to garbage time and we might just be a little interesting.

[boutons_deux]

up 20 in the 3rd, can the Spurs hold on?

[RD2191]

Well I'm out

[Joseph Kony]

Insane how negative of a player Marco is, Spurs look night and day when he gets minutes and doesnt. :lol if only Pop would bench Forbes, Spurs might be that team we thought they could be in the offseason. still wish Morris hadnt fucked us or we had just kept Davis, they'd be so much better taking Gays minutes

[RD2191]

:lol refs

[RD2191]

Oh come the fuck on

[RD2191]

Tf is DJ doing? Settle the fuck down.

[Texas_Ranger]

it was a good run

[RD2191]

Here we go

[GINNNNNNNNNNNNOBILI]

Did Pop really start Lonnie in the 1st half and Forbes in the 2nd half?

[tholdren]

He's got 4 assists. Great outing for murray

[ZeusWillJudge]

Every team in the league: "Here's our game plan"

1. Locate Bryn Forbes
2. Go at him
3. Score

[RD2191]

Classic Spurs 3rd qtr meltdown.

[Quiet Strength]

Attack forbes and get an easy basket... dude needs to be benched

[Jordan Jackson]

You can never be too confident about today's Spurs holding a lead, but they'll ride this one out if Borbes and Gay's minutes are limited.
Too much Forbes out there. This game is 50-50. He's simply cannot play this many minutes. The Celtics are going after him now.

[tholdren]

Every team in the league: "Here's our game plan"

1. Locate Bryn Forbes
2. Go at him
3. Score
Better than lonnie. Stats dont lie. More steals too. Sad day

[RD2191]

WHERE THE FUCK IS LONNIE?!?

[JeffDuncan]

Forbes, you clueless skank!

[Robz4000]

Yep, Spurs gonna choke yet again.

[slick'81]

Spurs wilting under the defensive pressure

[boutons_deux]

here they go, -9 in the 3rd

[emanueldavidginobili]

Patty Mills in Hayward lmao

[r0drig0lac]

welp.....

[RD2191]

:lmao eat shit pop. Old retarded faggot. Keep playing Forbes you piece of shit.

[tholdren]

Forbes, you clueless skank!

Forbes got the highest plus minus on san antonio. Stay woke

[RD2191]

Strong half. Got sloppy there towards the end. Things should even out in the 3rd qtr so hopefully we stay playing smart and efficient ball. Pop needs to keep Mills and Forbes off the floor together, Celts don't need any extra help getting back into this.

Well

[RD2191]

This shit is over, I guarantee it.

[JeffDuncan]

Gotta play Lonnie to get the energy level back up.

[sasaint]

Guys, I just tuned in. I was pretty pumped to see the Spurs up by 9 until I read a few earlier comments. How big a lead did we have?

[tholdren]

Forbes got the highest plus minus on san antonio. Stay woke

Up vote

[twincam]

Of course, the collapse begins.

[slick'81]

Settle down and get lonnie the fck in there

[emanueldavidginobili]

The balls sticking, Celtics making their shots and the little guys are getting exposed

[RD2191]

:lmao

[slick'81]

Celtics mad hott

[RD2191]

Guys, I just tuned in. I was pretty pumped to see the Spurs up by 9 until I read a few earlier comments. How big a lead did we have?

22

[slick'81]

Walker flopped like a faggit

[timtonymanu]

Tuned back in and yep only a 7 point lead lol. So fucking predictable

[tholdren]

:lmao

Forbes > lionel hairdo

[ZeusWillJudge]

Launch his ass! :lol

[YoungbuckMurray]

How is Lonnie still not in?

[sasaint]

At least I got here in time for the excitement.

[Genovaswitness]

LMAO get kembra the fuck out of here. punk bitch

[RD2191]

We can't even get a fucking shot off.

[slick'81]

:lol Mills getting a beer bath

[212094ever]

The beautiful game Spurs would shred this Celtic defense. Alas...

[sasaint]

22

So, not just an ordinary meltdown...

[slick'81]

There goes celts momentum

[ZeusWillJudge]

So, not just an ordinary meltdown...


It is for this team.

[emanueldavidginobili]

Spurs need to move the ball and start jacking threes again. Slowly going back to the dump it in the post stagnant offense.

[slick'81]

Lol gay

[RD2191]

Get Gay the fuck out.

[sasaint]

Rudy with the lazy pass. Damn!

[SpaceCoast Spursfan]

Unfortunately DDR is dominating the ball and we have lossed all movement on the offensive end. Get ready - makeup calls incoming

[212094ever]

Rudy smh

[emanueldavidginobili]

Tatum playing his ass off.

[3&D_TBH]

Walker flopping his ass off tbh

[SpaceCoast Spursfan]

Get Gay the fuck out.

I think that is the 3rd TO that is on Rudy, all just dumb plays for a vet

[slick'81]

Spurs lead back up to 13

[Kurgan]

Dumbar has been a mess in this third quarter. The loud Boston crowd has rattled him, causing him to make mistake after mistake.

[objective]

The sad thing is that after Lonnie finally overtakes Forbes, it's not over. Then Pop has to realize he needs to bump all Murray, White, and Walker to 30 minutes each which takes down Mills. And Pop LOVES Mills who has been mostly trash this game

[sasaint]

Nice steal, Dumbmar!

[RD2191]

First game I get into all season and they choke in spectacular fashion. Smh.

[slick'81]

Celtics about done

[tholdren]

The sad thing is that after Lonnie finally overtakes Forbes, it's not over. Then Pop has to realize he needs to bump all Murray, White, and Walker to 30 minutes each which takes down Mills. And Pop LOVES Mills who has been mostly trash this game
He wont. Forbes thoroughly outplayed him again tonight. 3 in a row brian > hairdo

[Arcadian]

Patty "Wildfire" Mills!

[james evans]

Thank God Kemba got himself ejected lol

[r0drig0lac]

Demar in the zone

[spurs1990]

I mean Spurs kinda earned that bogus Walker ejection with what they've had to deal with this season

[Slippy]

Spurs have responded to that Celtics run. Getting stop and Demar carving them up.

[wildbill2u]

Dang, I missed all the first half. Spurs must be playing well.

[SpaceCoast Spursfan]

DDR making better decisions & other guys moving again. Spacing a bit off but results are good. Pop needs to send ref a glass of wine

[Kurgan]

That Kemba ejection was extremely fortunate. Saved us from that inevitable Boston comeback.

[slick'81]

That Kemba ejection was extremely fortunate. Saved us from that inevitable Boston comeback.


No doubt but spurs will tAke what they can get right now

[RD2191]

Good shit by Demar but he needs to stop forcing it. Needs to move the ball.

[JeffDuncan]

Celtics will probably protest to the NBA, and demand a replay.

[sasaint]

That Kemba ejection was extremely fortunate. Saved us from that inevitable Boston comeback.

Not so fast. This is only the third quarter.

[sasaint]

Charge?!?!?! Hell no!

[SpaceCoast Spursfan]

That Kemba ejection was extremely fortunate. Saved us from that inevitable Boston comeback.

A more veteran ref would of stuck with one T or put 2nd T on Stevens

[timtonymanu]

Gotta give the guys props. They didn’t get out scored that quarter after a horrible start

[RD2191]

Gay is looking fucking washed out there, fucking momentum killer, fuck.

[sasaint]

Damn Rudy way to blow a great steal - three different ways.

[GB20]

Come on guy!

[212094ever]

Fucking Rudy

[SpaceCoast Spursfan]

Rudy having some rough moments tonight

[spurs1990]

Just one more season with Rudy Gay at least

[sasaint]

Rudy having some rough moments tonight

There is an easy answer for those. Pull him.

[ZeusWillJudge]

Patty needs to go get his ankles x-rayed. :lol

[BlackAndWhite]

Like I said, Gay has been done since the nuggets series. Even last may, he was a complete shell of who he was at the beginning of the 18-19 season

[RD2191]

Oh come the fuck on

[Genovaswitness]

rudy gay is the homeless man's kawhi leonard

[SpaceCoast Spursfan]

White has been really solid tonight, don't understand how he has only played 14 minutes

[Robz4000]

Refs trying to step in for Boston now.

[sasaint]

Refs ganging up on Poodle.

[JPB]

Ain't sports funny?

Fearing the hardest schedule coming then B2B wins against top 2 EC teams... (Not jinxing the spurs).

[SpaceCoast Spursfan]

Phantom call on Jakob

[ZeusWillJudge]

Hell of a finish by DeMar there. Bailed out that shit possession.

[spurs1990]

Obvious makeup call on Poeltl

[Ron Swanson]

Of course

[sasaint]

Nice press by the Spurs...

[RD2191]

Of course. Spurs can still choke this.

[RD2191]

Celts still scored 36 that qtr.

[objective]

SMH @ Mills protecting his 3 pt% by refusing to even try for the heave.

[JPB]

Take your prosac, Rob.

[Kurgan]

White has been really solid tonight, don't understand how he has only played 14 minutes

Was thinking the same thing. Pop's rotations have been horrendous this season. Rewarding the bad players with more playing time. Not rewarding guys that actually play well.

[RD2191]

Fuck off Hayward

[Kurgan]

SMH @ Mills protecting his 3 pt% by refusing to even try for the heave.

Wonder if he has a bonus in his contract if he keeps his numbers over a certain percentage

[timtonymanu]

Night and day with Lonnie and Marco.

[Ron Swanson]

Nice pass, Jakob

[r0drig0lac]

Walker!!

[RD2191]

Take your prosac, Rob.

I'm like the Demar of SpursTalk.

[timtonymanu]

Like I said, Gay has been done since the nuggets series. Even last may, he was a complete shell of who he was at the beginning of the 18-19 season

Said it when he was re-signed that it was a mistake to bring him back for that much and some were actually surprised that he declined, like really?! :lol

[RD2191]

Someone take that faggot out.

[vander]

let's not blow this game to Hayward, someone bump him a little so he goes back on IR

[emanueldavidginobili]

Lonnie has the most upside of a Spur since Kawhi.

[212094ever]

That shot looks smooth af

[RD2191]

Gay get the fuck out

[RD2191]

Dunk that shit poetl. Wtf

[sasaint]

Pop turning away and staring at the floor instead of yanking Rudy.

[TimDunkem]

Rudy Gay is washed.

[r0drig0lac]

cmon gay

[wildbill2u]

I think we could use less Rudy in this game TBJ

[sasaint]

Kanter looked like Rudy on that pass.

[Leetonidas]

Does anyone in the league fumble the ball more than Gay

[RD2191]

Walker is a beast. Forbes :lol

[r0drig0lac]

Walker's natural talent is unreal

[RD2191]

Where all the sniffers at? :lol

[Robz4000]

Good shit Lonnie!

[Ron Swanson]

The Beautiful Game :cry

[emanueldavidginobili]

I’m actually shook how good DJ jumper is looking

[Robz4000]

Lonnie is already the Spurs' second best player tbh.

[GreekSpursfan]

So we are good now? GSG

[wildbill2u]

Terrific ball movement.

[Uriel]

:cry

[r0drig0lac]

wow

[JPB]

Could be an interesting 2nd part of the season tbh.

[spurs1990]

Someone gif that Possession. Beautiful game

[lonrot]

Lonnie :bobo

[Leetonidas]

Lonnie. Fucking. Walker.

[212094ever]

Love that ball movement

[JPB]

I’m actually shook how good DJ jumper is looking

That's why Chip is getting the big bucks.

Any dumbass here still want to debate this bellineli vs Walker shit?

[Leetonidas]

Get ready to bump the we're back boys thread

[Slippy]

Its Lonnie time. Loving it

[objective]

Walker is only about what, 10 times the player Forbes is but still plays less?

[sasaint]

Love that ball movement

The last few games the Spurs have revived the weave - with very good results.

[Ron Swanson]

Stevens clearing the bench?

[TimDunkem]

That's game.

[tbdog]

Upsetting the Lakers is back on the menu, boys!

Someone will. Limitless dumbassery.

[GreekSpursfan]

I maintain the position that Pop knows what he's doing with Walker.

[sasaint]

LMA with the nail. Best 3-point shot on the team. Whoda thunk it?

[ceperez]

Wow! Spurs just destroyed the top 2 teams in the East.

Looks like a totally different team!

[daslicer]

Upsetting the Lakers is back on the menu, boys!

Just taking it one game at a time. If this team manages to climb above .500 I will be impressed.

Pop finally playing the right lineups has massively raised this team's ceiling. Can you imagine what our record would be right now if he had done this from the start?

[james evans]

I think the spurs success lately cones from bellineli being taken out of the rotation

[Uriel]

"Spurs did a really great job at developing him. Really good NBA player." - Celtics announcers on Forbes

[JPB]

The debate was never Ferrari over Lonnie but was a coach of Pop's experience who have seen everything and anything right to challenge and be hard with lonnie in the grand schemes of things?

I know what I think about it.

[RD2191]

Could be an interesting 2nd part of the season tbh.

If they can win these next 2 or 3 then I'll believe, not yet.
