Spurs vs. Celtics Mar. 17 - Game Blog

[spursfan09]

Celtics without their all-world sharpshooter.

Ok and Garnett, Pierce and Cassel can't carry the team? Anyway Like I said I'm still happy we have a 10 point lead. This is the Celtics we are playing afterall.

[Obstructed_View]

Bowen and Udoka have 3 fouls each. Who's Pop going to go with if they pick up more fouls and this game is close?
Since Pop's sliding Duncan to the 5 and playing Finley at the 4, Fin's not in there for Bowen and Udoka, he's in there for Thomas, Oberto, Bonner and Horry.

[td4mvp21]

Celtics without their all-world sharpshooter > Mavs

[Creation88]

we need to clamp down on the D. we cannot allow them to score above 25 points in another quarter.

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

With what Fin is doing, we might be better off playing four on five.

Yup, he's a major liability. Where's DeMarr Johnson when you need him? :lol

[Obstructed_View]

Spurs without their all-world sharpshooter.
Fixed.

[Aggie Hoopsfan]

Celtics without their all-world sharpshooter.

Mavs fan without any naked pics of _irk to look at tonight.

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

OV - If Finley is the smallball 4, I'd rather see Bonner out there.

[Obstructed_View]

Spurs get a 20 point lead, and smallball allows 32 points in the second quarter to make it close.

[dbreiden83080]

This is going to be a nailbiting 2nd half you can just tell, we had the chance to apply the KO and could not do it. Geez we need this win BAD, come on SPURS!!!!!

[duncan228]

i don't understand the fans of other teams that post on this message board. it's a Spurs message board, you're not gonna like what you read here. leave.

it's really pathetic you spend your time doing this. kinda sad.

That's only true for the trolls.

There's a lot of great posters here that are fans of other teams.
Lots of great basketball conversations that happen in the NBA Forum as well as the Spurs Forum. And of course there's the Pistons fans that got their own home here after the '05 Finals.

If you ignore the trolls that only want to be obnoxious and stir things up you'll find the rest are great to talk to.

I think if the board was only Spurs fans it would get boring.

[spursfan09]

Where was Kurt Thomas? I thought he was doing really well in the beginning.

[Obstructed_View]

OV - If Finley is the smallball 4, I'd rather see Bonner out there.
Exactly my point. Since Fin at the 4 turned a 63 win team into a .500 playoff team one would think Pop learned his lesson.

[Aggie Hoopsfan]

Fuck Small Ball.

-Me

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

13-1 assists! What a stat that is.

Spurs get 20+ assists they usually win.

[Don Quixote]

The NBA...

Where four times as many FTs for one team as the other happens because it's the Celtics.

Where players charging into the crowd and fighting with the fans happens! Where nightclub shootings happen.

Where $30 Million for Jerome James happens. Where Isiah happens.

Where Lakers fans rioting and burning the city to the ground happens.

Where watching dirty movies while driving drunk happens.

I got a bunch of these. I need video for them, though.

[circ]

just got home! what did i miss?!!
please :biggrin:

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

Exactly my point. Since Fin at the 4 turned a 63 win team into a .500 playoff team one would think Pop learned his lesson.

Indeed. :tu

It's his obstructive loyalty to veterans... :lol

[Obstructed_View]

-We
Fixed. :toast

[Creation88]

alright here's to great D, lights out shooting, and great intensity for the 2nd half. GO SPURS GO!

[Obstructed_View]

Indeed. :tu

It's his obstructive loyalty to veterans... :lol
Since KT is a veteran, maybe he'll see the light.

[td4mvp21]

Indeed. :tu

It's his obstructive loyalty to veterans... :lol

I'll never, ever understand his obsession with Finley at powerforward-ever. He's never been good at it. Udoka at least boxes out. Finley? Nope. He can hit clutch shots and he can light it up, but when he's not, he can't do much else. See: Last, what, 20 games? :lol

[Don Quixote]

That's only true for the trolls.

There's a lot of great posters here that are fans of other teams.

Excellent point. I love trolls, so far as they are insightful, interesting, respectful, and/or funny. But I guess that goes for Spurs fans too.

[Aggie Hoopsfan]

Fixed. :toast


:lol

Fair enough :toast

[TDfan2007]

shit, Tim just can't buy a bounce from the rim these days...

[td4mvp21]

Here come the whistles and it's not even a minute into the second half :rolleyes

[td4mvp21]

Tony! Nice.

[td4mvp21]

Wow, the Celtics entire bench bitches after every call.

[still.focused]

Time for the nightly 3rd quarter shooting woes!!

[Capt Bringdown]

Spurs very much a jump shooting team this year.
How about attacking the rim for a change?

[TDfan2007]

lol @ KG, two bs fouls called on him from oberto fouls. Reffing has been awful again.

[Aggie Hoopsfan]

Death, taxes, foul calls for the Celtics.

The NBA. I hate this game. http://news-libraries.mit.edu/blog/wp-content/uploads/2007/07/copyright.gif

[SpurAddict561]

Time for the nightly 3rd quarter shooting woes!!

No shit..it's been killing me man

We HAD the fuckin Pistons game...bad 3rd Qtr

it was close in the NOH game....bad 3rd Qtr

[Behrooz24]

GO Spurs GO!!!

[TDfan2007]

well who didn't see this coming? :rolleyes

[Capt Bringdown]

Celtics play like the Spurs used to.
Sad.

[Admidave50]

Fuck this, Spurs are pulling an egg to start the second half

[loveforthegame]

This is a disaster.

[hitmanyr2k]

Is Duncan color blind? Who the hell was he passing to?

[Leetonidas]

There's the Spurs we know and love. :rolleyes

[still.focused]

YAY!
Sit Mike Finley the fuck down for the rest of his career

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

Uh-oh.

Too much 4-down.

Drive and dish, drive and dish.

[Ice009]

SPURS ARE A FUCKING JOKE. I THOUGHT THEY WOKE UP. They're freaking fast asleep again PATHETIC, PATHETIC, PATHETIC.

[Brutalis]

Typical Spurs. Oh well when we lose at least I win the vbookie.

[Aggie Hoopsfan]

I'm glad we're pissing away our lead on the stubborn intent of playing Finley. Fuck Pop.

[Dre_7]

Who was Tim passing to?

[GrandeDavid]

Pull your heads out of your effing asses, Spurs. Embarrassing! Balls it up and show some effing pride!!!

[carina_gino20]

Oh...carina, I don't want to go back to find it, but you're right.
Duncan will not let them lose this game.
He started strong, his team is with him.

Was out for a while to go to class. What did you need to look up?

I do remember Pop in the 2005 championship dvd saying that in Game 7, "Timmy just decided that we were not gonna lose."

[Ice009]

Finley needs to be sent away. Too many 1 dimensional shooters out on the court right now.

[TDfan2007]

KG is outplaying Tim right now because Tim has been EXTREMELY passive since the first two minutes of the game.

[duncan228]

They'll get through it.
They'll crank up the defense and grind it out.

[Brutalis]

TD is past his prime, for sure.

[Aggie Hoopsfan]

:lmao

This is vintage Spurs basketball. Teams shut down our offense by crashing down on Duncan, so Pop stubbornly goes to more 4down.

That, and Finley getting minutes despite not deserving them and shooting us out of the lead.

[dbreiden83080]

Saw this coming a mile away the shitty way they finished that 2nd qtr.

[loveforthegame]

Is Duncan color blind? Who the hell was he passing to?

That was Finley's fault.

[1Parker1]

Spurs without energy coming out of the half. Lead cut to 5. :depressed

[TDfan2007]

Fab is worthless on offense.

[1Parker1]

I think Finley's poor offense is contagious to the rest of the team.

[SpursFan0728]

bench finely..and we'll make a run

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

SPURS ARE A FUCKING JOKE. I THOUGHT THEY WOKE UP. They're freaking fast asleep again PATHETIC, PATHETIC, PATHETIC.

Dude, those mood swings are dangerous. I'm worried you'll have a stroke one day soon...

[Ice009]

PATHETIC, JOKE, NO HEART NOT DESIRE is what i'm seeing to start this second half. WAKE UP SPURS. PLAY YOUR ASSES OFF. SHOW YOURSELVES SOMETHING.

[Aggie Hoopsfan]

Psst, Pop.

http://z.about.com/d/sanantonio/1/0/s/A/-/-/spurs07ginobili.jpg

[duncan228]

What did you need to look up?

You said early in the blog that Duncan wasn't going to let them lose this game.
I agreed with you.

I still do.

[loveforthegame]

Fab is worthless on offense.

You have him confused with Finley.

[Brutalis]

Spurs without energy coming out of the half. Lead cut to 5. :depressed
No, that's 3, not 5.

[GrandeDavid]

Finley is effing awful.

[Obstructed_View]

Oh well, they put about ten good minutes together. That's a start.

[WildcardManu]

wow, where is the 10 point lead?

[Shaolin-Style]

Finley says "Nice dunk bro"

Doesn't even try to stop it.

[Don Quixote]

Simply a dreadful start to the quarter, and reminiscient of the first Nugs game, the game against Detroit, and the 4th Q against N.O.

[GrandeDavid]

Shame!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Admidave50]

Fuck it Duncan, twice that he lost the ball stupidly

[Dre_7]

Duncan playin soft and lazy. WTF?!?

[Capt Bringdown]

Saw this coming a mile away the shitty way they finished that 2nd qtr.
Ditto.
Game over.

[ashbeeigh]

Oh lord. If there was only an emoticon to express my displeasure in the current situation. :bang

[Admidave50]

this is total bullshit

[Ice009]

Cletics Lead. Fuck Fuck Fuck

[Aggie Hoopsfan]

13-2 in four minutes, and we still can't put Manu in the game. I <3 Popovich.

[Spurs Brazil]

Celtics 15-2 run, up 3

[Brutalis]

Boston is fucking awesome. WITHOUT Allen against the defending champs coming back from 20 down and it's not even the fourth.

I can't buy this shit.

[GrandeDavid]

F-ing clank fu!!!

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

Oh, for fucksake, even I can see they are doubling every 4-down, so why not go to motion or pnr or TP drive n dish???

Fark.

[Don Quixote]

Well, at least the Silver & Black had a strong first half. It's something to build on.

Is it a moral victory at least?

[Spurs Brazil]

Oberto from TP!!!!!!!

Defense now

[TDfan2007]

c'mon Tim, we need you tonight...

[hitmanyr2k]

Ginobili is the only player with any balls on this team :lol

[GrandeDavid]

Finley needs to be buried on the bench. Ugh.

[spursjustice]

boston was always going to make a run... spurs need to push back now!

[The Nba Is Rigged]

You are only blowing the leads you are supposed to blow, no surprises here

[Allanon]

Whoa, I turned away during half-time and Celtics up by 3? Wth?

[Admidave50]

bs call

[Aggie Hoopsfan]

Finley needs to be buried. Ugh.

fify

[Brutalis]

Fab can't do something good without fucking up shortly after.

[boutons_]

damn, Spurs collapsing like a pile of hot spaghetti

[Obstructed_View]

Is it a moral victory at least?
Since I don't remember the last actual victory, it'll have to do.

[Ice009]

Mental mistakes.

Manu is the heart and soul of this team this season. MANU. everyone else needs to show some fire, heart, determination.

[Admidave50]

now the game is tight, we start to have some whistles

[TDfan2007]

The spurs have lost all momentum but it's still doable.

[Aggie Hoopsfan]

15-4 Boston run to start the half and we finally get...

6:49 SA - M. Ginobili enters game for M. Finley

[Mister Sinister]

Damn it, TP

[Capt Bringdown]

Have the Spurs managed to come back from a 22-point deficit this season?
Celtics clearly the class of the league right now.

[Obstructed_View]

Clanging jumpers. Here we go....

[DubMcDub]

My money says the Spurs still win this.

[Obstructed_View]

Have the Spurs managed to come back from a 22-point deficit this season?
Celtics clearly the class of the league right now.
I'll be surprised if they can come back from a 22 point lead.

[greens]

15-4 Boston run to start the half and we finally get...

6:49 SA - M. Ginobili enters game for M. Finley



Seriously, I don't like Finley starting...In the second half, the Celtics are now rolling...

[Obstructed_View]

clang

[Brutalis]

I've never done this and I'm not through with the Spurs. But I am for this game.

Fuck em. Play like this is why we are 6th seed and eating shit from every top team in the league. This ain't the year of repeating. I have to be honest and not a homer fan. They just are so terrible and it's pissing me off. I can't scream and throw anything else over this fucking "team". Total disappointment.

[Mister Sinister]

Son of a bitch, Ime!

[Capt Bringdown]

4 points this quarter...FOUR POINTS

[milkyway21]

the refs..
the schedule

why I have this feeling that the it's the Spurs against the league lately? :wtf :depressed

[td4mvp21]

Surprised the refs decided to call something!

[boutons_]

Fucking Spurs, ONE good quarter, then lose the next 2.

[Aggie Hoopsfan]

Parker has missed his last four shots. Glad he keeps shooting with Manu on the court.

[TDfan2007]

as poorly as the Spurs have played since the 1st it's still a ball game. Tim just really needs to grow a pair now.

[Gino]

KG is playing out of his mind!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Don Quixote]

Have the Spurs managed to come back from a 22-point deficit this season?
Celtics clearly the class of the league right now.

Well, Boston is good, but the class of the league right now is Houston. They're just awesome right now.

That said, the Silver & Black can't hang with any of these good teams right now. Here's to hoping that they can get it together in time for the playoffs, or it'll be a short trip there.

[DubMcDub]

as poorly as the Spurs have played since the 1st it's still a ball game. Tim just really needs to grow a pair now.

Sorry, but as an impartial observer, blaming this on Duncan is just stupid.

[Spurs Brazil]

Rondo killing us

[Obstructed_View]

the refs..
the schedule

why I have this feeling that the it's the Spurs against the league lately? :wtf :depressed

The jumpers. The lack of movement on offense. The lack of interior defense. Yeah, it's the league. :lol

[TDfan2007]

Rondo is giving it to this team up the ass.

[td4mvp21]

Goddamn Spurs, are you trying to lose? Their energy went down to basically nothing. Make some shots.

[Admidave50]

Spurs have to take care of the ball, lots of turnovers and fastbreaks

[hitmanyr2k]

Rondo is abusing the hell out of Tony.

[Aggie Hoopsfan]

Well, Boston is good, but the class of the league right now is Houston. They're just awesome right now.

That said, the Silver & Black can't hang with any of these good teams right now. Here's to hoping that they can get it together in time for the playoffs, or it'll be a short trip there.

I've said all year that this team is old. This is akin to the year we relied so much on 'veteran poise' and got smoked by LA. Pop and RC have made the Spurs' bed with the vets this year.

[td4mvp21]

If we can survive this drought/run, then we'll be ok.

[TDfan2007]

you can see that nobody wants to do anything out there. Everyone is playing scared...

[Obstructed_View]

"Spurs are old"

"Spurs are tired"

"Spurs are trying"

[Mister Sinister]

KT in.

[marini martini]

HOTCHA iME

[loveforthegame]

Parker has missed his last four shots. Glad he keeps shooting with Manu on the court.

I'm pretty sure that's Finley's fault too. He must have touched Parker on the way to the bench.

[Udrihlooms]

the refs..
the schedule

why I have this feeling that the it's the Spurs against the league lately? :wtf :depressed


It's not the refs, and it's definitely not the schedule. Everybody has tough stretches especially in the west.

Try "It's the spurs."

[Brutalis]

never been so pissed off as a fan ever. even when fisher made that fucking shot to be honest.

i am so fucking thrilled at this team. fucking pussies playing soft as we did in the early 90s, looking like we have 0 experience or ever won a damn ring. typical fucking spurs folding already.

[Spurs Brazil]

Manuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu tie game

[WildcardManu]

Manu is the fucking MVP and deserves teammates that want to win.

[Admidave50]

let's regain the lead!

GO SPURS GO

[TDfan2007]

Manu attacking the basket again. He seems to be the only one of the big 3 doing anything out there.

[Mister Sinister]

Ginobili.

[SpursFan0728]

manu is the only one playing with balls

[boutons_]

finish the 3rd strong, please

[marini martini]

hOTCHA mANNU

[HighLowLobForBig-50]

sweet

[hitmanyr2k]

Great "D" on Garnett by KT. If he was on any other team that'd be a foul lol.

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

Sean's so right - you can't eat clock against these guys, you have to attack ASAP and not let them set up.

[Spurs Brazil]

Manuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu

Spurs up 2

[Admidave50]

that was beautiful Manu!

[TDfan2007]

Manu has been amazing tonight. When the rest of the team will catch up with him idk.

[circ]

wow play with some energy and you get something done? wtf?

[DisgruntledLionFan#54,927]

Anyone know where I can watch this game online?

[spursjustice]

manu is unbelievable...

[Mister Sinister]

Lead.

[Obstructed_View]

Come on.

[Spurs Brazil]

FUCK

Grab the reb

[GrandeDavid]

Get an effing rebound, bitches!

[TDfan2007]

Tony for 3!

[Udrihlooms]

at the rate this team is going, i'm wondering how much will be left of us, mentally and physically, come first round against any of the top seeded western teams?

[marini martini]

Hotcha PARKER

[Spurs Brazil]

Tp 33333333333333333333333333333333333

[Mister Sinister]

Le w00t!

[Capt Bringdown]

Holy shit, Spurs actually hitting some shots.

[spursjustice]

parker for 3?

[manufor3]

yes up by 3!

[SpursFan0728]

where is duncan?

[Admidave50]

oh damn, how can u call a foul on this, let the game to be played

[TDfan2007]

refs all over KG's nuts right now. When does Tim ever get this treatment?

[td4mvp21]

Can't wait til the fourth quarter when KG's shit talking nuts shrivel up!

[marini martini]

Hotcha Popp's gonna kicked out...........AGAIN

[Amarelooms]

Spurs whine too much...very sad

[Obstructed_View]

Holy shit, Spurs actually hitting some shots.
Funny how much their percentage goes up when they shoot spot up jumpers off the pass.

[TDfan2007]

where is duncan?

with his head up his ass...again.

[hitmanyr2k]

where is duncan?

In the fetal position at the moment.

[HighLowLobForBig-50]

KT showin some passion as a noob. i like it and pop had his back.

[GrandeDavid]

I'm tired of the Spurs getting pushed around on the glass. If Pop should ever have gone to the soft card its nowadays.

[Brutalis]

where is duncan?
Looking for his gonads.

[boutons_]

blood heating up, good.

If they gotta get pissed to win in, get pissed.

Thomas needs to take more responsibility for the game, get more involved. He's new boy, but he needs to kick some ass and know he can make a big contribution.

[Dre_7]

Why does it seem like KT NEVER gets a fair shake?

[Creation88]

we have to clamp down the D tight. and then push it on the offensive end.

[milkyway21]

Tony 3!

finally :flag:

[Obstructed_View]

Spurs whine too much...very sad
WTG, Sunsfan! The expert on whining shows up. :lol

[greens]

What is up with the refs? Are they going to give every single FT to KG???

By the way, Manu is all heart...

And TP makes yet another 3 pointer...he has been making them in the recent games...maybe he should take more attempts???

[1Parker1]

:pctoss F the league. Spurs lack of respect from the refs is getting borderline disgusting.

As is Duncan's soft play of late. It's like teams can double or triple team him, foul him a gazillion times and get away with it. Also, Duncan is playing as if he's never seen double or triple teams in his career before and playing soft.

[loveforthegame]

Finley not wanting to be on the bench has secretly entered Duncan's body. That's the only explanation.

[Aggie Hoopsfan]

Can't wait til the fourth quarter when KG's shit talking nuts shrivel up!


They won't, he's got the refs to keep them firm.

[Herschel Walker]

can we ever. Get 48 minutes of energy? Blowing a 22 of lead is just disgusting. Too old?

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

never been so pissed off as a fan ever. even when fisher made that fucking shot to be honest.

i am so fucking thrilled at this team. fucking pussies playing soft as we did in the early 90s, looking like we have 0 experience or ever won a damn ring. typical fucking spurs folding already.

CALM

DOWN.

The towel has NOT been thrown in.

[HighLowLobForBig-50]

hit another shot rob, damn. the phone booth is waiting to explode

[Admidave50]

haha, Kurt learned some flopping in Phoenix!

[GrandeDavid]

Damn, we need a backup PG

[Aggie Hoopsfan]

FTs now 18-8 in Bston's favor.

[TDfan2007]

Finley not wanting to be on the bench has secretly entered Duncan's body. That's the only explanation.

:lol

that's a pretty solid explanation.

[Radiosparks]

Hahahaahaaa...they just let Horry sit there and take the shot. That says a lot about the respect for our outside shooting.

[td4mvp21]

Rondo's lucky pussy floaters from the free throw line are getting really old.

[Admidave50]

Celtics's PGs have been killing us

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

Here's the key to the game - can we contain Sam I Am???

[greens]

I don't like the line up when there is only one of The Big Three...TP/TD on the bench, Manu playing...

[Mister Sinister]

So KG's had as many FTs as we have as a team?

[TDfan2007]

FTs now 18-8 in Bston's favor.

both teams have gotten bad calls, but most of the calls in our favor have been off the ball. Refs refusing to let these teams play.

[Mister Sinister]

YES, Manu!

[td4mvp21]

OH MY GOD, the Celtics bitch after every fucking whistle. They are worse than the Spurs! :lol

[still.focused]

How long you think Pop will let Rajon Rondo abuse Tony Parker?

[Spurs Brazil]

Good D

[spursjustice]

a 3 now would be nice...

[Obstructed_View]

I'm unsure what Doc has to be so upset about.

[SpursFan0728]

pop needs to explode every game to make refs make calls

[HighLowLobForBig-50]

B S !

[Udrihlooms]

Garnett is an overrated walking/whining piece of trash. If Duncan starts pulling his head out of his ass and srally tarts playing, he'll own this pretender faster than one can say "Mcdyess"

[td4mvp21]

How long you think Pop will let Rajon Rondo abuse Tony Parker?

How ever long Rondo keeps making his lucky ass pussy floaters?

[TDfan2007]

way to end the quarter...*sarcasm*

[Das Texan]

Bones better be healed and ready to play.


:lol

[GrandeDavid]

Spurs Brazil, e ai, meu amigo, estou sempre em SP. Me mande um email com seu telefone para que a gente pode asistir um jogo dos playoffs em maio. Se os Spurs vao nos Finais estarei em San Antonio como sempre. Me mande seu telefone por IM.

well...yeah. But he won't. He's refused to play actual basketball this month. Maybe he'll play in April

[Obstructed_View]

Inadvertent whistle allows Doc to call a play. Nice.

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

Yet another ref mistake.

[Spurs Brazil]

End of 3rd

Spurs 70
Celtics 68

[GrandeDavid]

Spurs Brazil, estou indo pra San Antonio segunda feira que vem. Se voce quiser que eu te trago alguma coisa me fale. Estou de volta no meio de abril.

Ate +

[Brutalis]

CALM

DOWN.

The towel has NOT been thrown in.
I know I've been since I was little and have never been so mad during a game.

Too many losses to good teams and we are breaking down in the worst ways. Rondo is not Kobe and when the Spurs play like crap why do they think they deserve calls?

[WildcardManu]

Refs gave the celts a chance to call a play and sub in.

[Amarelooms]

Rondo's lucky pussy floaters from the free throw line are getting really old.

Is tony parker not on your team? :elephant

[milkyway21]

I hope my favorite Spur not going to end this night w/ only 8 pts :cry

amazing:lol

[Admidave50]

damn, Hornets got back the lead with 2 min left (100-96)

[Obstructed_View]

Man, you guys should see the Celtics' shot chart from the third quarter. They had at least 14 shots inside the paint. It's hard to lose when you are shooting from that close.

Pode deixar Grande. Vou te passar pelo PM

[Brutalis]

Hell it's been a Spurs pace game... no excuses.. Allen is out even.. you think he'd make up for a 2 pt lead right now folks..

[Amarelooms]

Inadvertent whistle allows Doc to call a play. Nice.

Naa stopping it favors the defense...they can setup...you and the Spurs anouncers obviously dont know basketball :elephant

[Obstructed_View]

Refs gave the celts a chance to call a play and sub in.
They didn't let them sub in.

[Creation88]

we need a secret weapon to step up for the 4th. Tim needs to attack the basket and our D needs to shut them down.

if we can get a good offensive run going with a few stops we'll be ok.

[Capt Bringdown]

1st 28, 2nd 25, 3rd 17

That's good coaching and good D by the Celtics.

[Obstructed_View]

Naa stopping it favors the defense...they can setup...you and the Spurs anouncers obviously dont know basketball :elephant
Suns fan claiming to kno anything about basketball. :lol :lol :lol

Spurs are -15 in the last two quarters...pathetic.

c'mon guys, this is a game that we NEED. Hopefully Tim and Tony wake up. I've given up on fin/oberto.

This game is not lost, but it shifted when the refs laid those 6 bogus fouls on Udoka and Bowen, taking them out of the game.

[Das Texan]

rando with 18 points in the period.


what the fuck?

[doldrums]

+/- Finley -14
Udoka +19

You think we missed Ime?!

[1Parker1]

I'm very, very surprised with Duncan. Is he injured or something and Pop is pulling a CIA?

I fully expected Duncan to have a dominating performance tonight after 3 straight subpar games. He started well and has totally disappeared in the 2nd and 3rd quarter. :wtf

Spurs up on 2 points

PJ Brown in

[Udrihlooms]

I"LL NEVER ROOT FOR A TEAM with a GARNETT in it. There is only one 21. KG is OVERRATED.

Lately we are getting lit up by every PG who comes by - Rondo And Sam, Paul, Miller, Billups, etc.

However, I don't blame TP. A lot of it is LATE HELP D, and a lot of that is Tim (or KT). Also, what can you do when a guy goes lights out like Miller did?

Can the second team hold Sam I Am???

[Ice009]

Finley not wanting to be on the bench has secretly entered Duncan's body. That's the only explanation.


LOL get an exorcist out there. Get Finley out of the arena ;).

I'm disappointed too but the Celtics defense has been tough on him and he hasn't had the ball enough to be able to adjust. Ginobili and Parker have been scoring so that has eased the load on him a bit. He's been getting doubled and tripled as soon as he catches the ball.

[TDfan2007]

Manu attacking and guess what...foul!

Well what the fuck do you know? Attacking the basket against a team with 1/2 a shotblocker is a good idea
