Spurs vs. Celtics Mar. 17 - Game Blog

[ducks]

The Boston Celtics can use the San Antonio Spurs as role s while chasing their first NBA title in more than two decades.

But as the NBA leaders embark on perhaps their toughest road stretch of the season, they'll be trying to do anything but follow San Antonio's lead.
The Celtics seek their sixth consecutive road win on Monday night against the defending champion Spurs, who have lost three straight.

Boston (53-12) has already clinched the Atlantic Division and has a 4 1/2-game lead atop the NBA, but the Celtics haven't been to the NBA Finals since 1987. A win over the Spurs - who've won four NBA titles in the last nine seasons - would help solidify Boston's status as a title contender.

The rest of the road trip is just as challenging. The swing, which started with a 99-77 win over Milwaukee on Saturday, concludes with four games in six days against Western Conference contenders. Boston plays at Houston - which has won 22 straight - on Tuesday before traveling to Dallas and New Orleans.

"These are going to be playoff-style basketball games," Celtics forward Kevin Garnett said. "We have to be ready. We've got a long road trip, so it's good to get this first one and try to carry it on."

The Spurs (44-22) have won seven in a row at home, but they didn't respond well during a recent stretch, as they've dropped five of their last six - all on the road. They're looking to avoid their first four-game skid overall since early in the 2003-04 season.

San Antonio lost 103-96 at Philadelphia on Saturday despite 27 points from point guard Tony Parker. The Spurs trailed throughout as they allowed 100 or more points for the third time in the last four games.

"We could never get a run going," Spurs guard Manu Ginobili said. "They didn't miss many shots and every time we got within seven, they hit a big shot or we turned over the ball."

San Antonio's defense, which is third in the NBA allowing 91.3 points per game, has allowed an average of 98.8 points in the last six.

The Celtics, meanwhile, have won five straight on the road and 11 of 12 overall after blowing out the Bucks. They won that game without guard Ray Allen, who was out with a foot injury. His status is uncertain for Monday's game.

Garnett had 19 points and reserve guard Eddie House added 17 on 7-of-11 as the Celtics rebounded from a 110-92 home loss to Utah on Friday. The Jazz are the only Celtics opponent in the last eight games to score more than 93 points.

"We really buckled in on the defensive end," Boston forward Paul Pierce said. "I knew we weren't going to come out flat. It was a good win in a back-to-back, especially after the way we played (Friday)."

The Celtics' 91-85 win at San Antonio exactly one year ago Monday ended their 18-game losing streak to the Spurs and a 15-game skid in San Antonio.

Boston has now won two straight against the Spurs after a 98-90 home win on Feb. 10. Pierce scored 35 in that game, as the Celtics were without Garnett and the Spurs were without Parker due to injuries.

Did You Know...
Celtics head coach Doc Rivers spent two seasons with San Antonio, averaging 4.4 points and 2.0 assists … Rivers also spent two seasons as a color commentator on Spurs television … the Spurs have won 17 straight against the Celtics and 21 of the last 22 … San Antonio’s 17-game win streak is its longest active win streak over any team … Boston’s last win against San Antonio was a 106-95 victory on 2/14/90 … the Spurs 97-90 win on 1/12/90 in the Boston Garden snapped a 20-game losing streak to the Celtics … before that victory the last time the Spurs had defeated the Celtics was on 1/5/80 when they posted a 119-111 victory in San Antonio.

Bowen can't handle The Truth. He's dropped 30 on Bowen in the last 2 games/Celtics wins.

[GrandeDavid]

I think the Spurs will blow the Celtics out.

It's the best thing going for an out of state fan of any team.
It's expensive, at least for my budget, but it's worth every cent.

[spurs_fan_in_exile]

I don't know the final score, but look for record low ratings as Celtic nation will be too drunk to find the remote and Spurs bangwagoners will be too scared to watch this one.

Game Preview: Celtics at Spurs
By Peter F. Stringer
Celtics.com

Last season, the Celtics ended a 17-year drought in San Antonio, making the St. Patrick's Day victory one of the few highlights of an otherwise dismal 24-win season.

Tonight, the Celtics look for the luck o' the Irish for two years in a row as they meet the Spurs in the second game of their road trip. And they're catching a Spurs team that's lost three straight games and five of their last six.

The Celtics may have to go it without Ray Allen again tonight; Allen injured his left heel in the first half Friday night against the Utah Jazz and sat out Saturday's 99-77 win in Milwaukee. The C's know they can beat the Spurs shorthanded; Kevin Garnett and Spurs point guard Tony Parker each sat out of the Celtics 98-90 win back in February.

Allen's status for tonight's game is unknown, but the team will likely err on caution's side as they look to be healthy heading into the spring.

"We want to be 100 percent healthy going into the playoffs," Celtics Coach Doc Rivers said.

With the Celtics (52-13) coming to town as the NBA's only 50-win team and the Spurs (44-22) presiding over the league as the defending NBA Champions, both teams are expecting a playoff-like atmosphere tonight.

"It's always good to play great teams," Parker told the San Antonio Express-News. "To be honest with you, I like that game. It's going to be playoff atmosphere, lots of intensity. It's going to be good."

As for the Celtics, Pierce and company know that the Spurs are the gold standard for the rest of the league.

"The Spurs are a measuring stick for the league," Pierce said. "They've set the standard of what everyone wants to do and what they've accomplished. It's a great challenge for us, especially since they play well at home. It will be good for us."

Despite their recent slump, the Spurs are still one of the best home teams in the NBA. They're 27-5 at the AT&T Center and haven't lost on their home court since a January 26 blowout against New Orleans.

The road doesn't get any easier for the Celtics after tonight, as they've got a date with the streaking Houston Rockets (22 straight wins) on Tuesday, then visits with the Mavericks and Hornets to close out the voyage.

Let's do this. No time like the present to turn things around and why not start with one of the premier teams in the league.
Plan it, study it, implement it and get the job done.

[TampaDude]

Loss...

[T Park]

Epic turnaround win.

[Texas_Ranger]

Loss...


....NOT!

[spurs_fan_in_exile]

Houston continues to get every break in this streak, they get Boston the night after they play in SA.
I think this is the set up to the streak breaker. Spurs embarrass Celtics bad, the starters don't play much of the fourth, and they come out fresh and angry in the Toyota Center.

[manufor3]

why did we start this thread so early?

[hater]

worst home loss of the season for Spurs tonight

[duncan228]

why did we start this thread so early?

We were sick of talking about Scola.
And grammar.
And whether God exists and is a Spurs fan.

[T Park]

I could see that happening.

Allen plays drops 20.

The Rocket's breaks during their streak come to an end tuesday night.

[The Franchise]

Beat the hell out of the Celtics please!!!! We want an exhausted squad coming to Toyota Center on Tuesday. I hope they leave Texas with three straight loses. :ihit

[BlackSwordsMan]

Spurs gonna lose bad today.

[boutons_]

Pierce by himself beat the Spurs @ATT last year, breaking some kind of Duncan era string.

Pierce got a lot more help this year while the Spurs are demonstrating how badly a defending champion can embarrass itself. I'm not feelin real good about this one. Low expectations.

[hater]

I also smell a very bad loss for Spurs. I mean a loss that Timmy might come out in tears. BTW it's St. Patricks Day

[Brutalis]

if that somehow ends up bein right...
dude....
Don't worry it won't. Celts are for real and the pounding they lay on us tonight will be remembered for a while.

(maybe talking shit will get us a win)

[BlackSwordsMan]

I'm going to bet 500$ on spurs even though they might lose.

[Indazone]

lot of pessimism from the would be defending champions that I'm seeing here. What does this say about the Spurs repeating? Hmmm

Completely wrong mindset not just from fans but also from the team. Spurs are flushed in the first or second round.

[cheguevara]

playoffs are a different story.

[4001 STEREO SPUR]

Come on SPURS!

I know they're gonna win tonight!!!!!

:elephant :elephant :elephant :elephant :flag: :flag: :flag: :flag:

lol..if ya hang your head now, you'll be hanging your head later.

D-Day (Bruce McGill): War's over, man. Wormer dropped the big one.
Bluto: Over? Did you say "over"? Nothing is over until we decide it is! Was it over when the Germans bombed Pearl Harbor? Hell no!
Otter (Tim Matheson): [whispering] Germans?
Boon (Peter Riegert): Forget it, he's rolling.
Bluto: And it ain't over now. 'Cause when the goin' gets tough... [thinks hard] the tough get goin'! Who's with me? Let's go! [runs out, alone; then returns] What the fuck happened to the Delta I used to know? Where's the spirit? Where's the guts, huh? "Ooh, we're afraid to go with you Bluto, we might get in trouble." Well just kiss my ass from now on! Not me! I'm not gonna take this. Wormer, he's a dead man! Marmalard, dead! Niedermeyer -
Otter: Dead! Bluto's right. Psychotic, but absolutely right. We gotta take these bastards. Now we could do it with conventional weapons that could take years and cost millions of lives. No, I think we have to go all out. I think that this situation absolutely requires a really futile and stupid gesture be done on somebody's part.
Bluto: We're just the guys to do it.
D-Day: Let's do it.
Bluto: LET'S DO IT!!

Boston's Allen Questionable Against Spurs

[GrandeDavid]

I want to hear that the Spurs kicked the Celts' effing asses. The Spurs owe them some mighty payback, plus the Spurs cannot afford to lose tonight. Period. I expect the Spurs to play this one like a deep playoff game from the first tip.

Beautiful start for the Spurs. Best of all is that Finley didn't take a shot. Maybe we'll win this game afterall.

Weaksauce. Pull your dick outcha mom and focus you little bitch.

[1Parker1]

Spurs out of the gates playing with significant more energy, defense, hustle, and passion than in the last 3 games combined. :tu

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

TP, OMG.

We look good.

The test will come when the bench takes over...

Glad Oberto started - he looks so much more active as a starter.

[remingtonbo2001]

The crowd tonight will lead this team to victory.
That's the loudest I've heard the place since 05'

[greens]

tony! :wow


That was amazing... :)

[Chris]

That Pierce dunk was naaaaasty

[1Parker1]

Parker penetrating into the lane kicking it out and finding Bowen in his sweet spot is almost a given shot made for the Spurs. :tu

[remingtonbo2001]

Almost Manu!

[Obstructed_View]

You can always count on Kevin Garnett to inspire Duncan to focus and hustle. Maybe his hustle will get everyone else going eventually.

[remingtonbo2001]

Ime's Back! :)

[Chris]

Ime Udoka Baby

[WildcardManu]

Hope this turns into a clinic. Haven't seen one of those in a long time.

[td4mvp21]

Wow, the Spurs do what the Celtics do every fucking time on the defensive end and we get called for a foul.

[Brutalis]

[Spurs Brazil]

JV in fron of MM

Thank God

[1Parker1]

Ugh Horry comes in and immediately commits a foul.

[DubMcDub]

..... that's all you have to say?

Weaksauce. Pull your dick outcha mom and focus you little bitch.

Really solid stuff there. Top notch. :lol :lol :rolleyes

FYI, the "go fuck yourself" is a whole lot more intimidating when you haven't already exposed yourself as a 160 pound 20-year old.

[Allanon]

Hahah, it's always funny when two players always point in different directions when the ball gets knocked out. That was off Fab's knee though.

[Chris]

Jv!

[Spurs Brazil]

Jv!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[spursjustice]

Ime came to play today...

[WildcardManu]

Would be sweet to see the Texas triangle sweep the celts, just to remind the league the championship goes through here.

[howbouthemspurs]

i hate chicken wings!!

[Behrooz24]

chicken wing'd

[loveforthegame]

Pop going with Vaughn over MM. Good decision.

[greens]

WOW...even Vaughn makes a shot! What's going on!

[Spurs Brazil]

Good job JV

[ManuTim_best of Fwiendz]

:lol

wiley cassell

[Don Quixote]

Parker penetrating and feeling Bowen in his sweet spot :tu

I thought they were supposed to leave that stuff off the court

[Obstructed_View]

So Sam's going to get suspended, right?

[remingtonbo2001]

Spurs playing with playoff intensity.

[Admidave50]

I'm loving how we're playing so far!

GO SPURS GO, I skipped my class once again for you, don't make me regret it!

[BIG z]

Is it only me or YOU guys agree that manu has forgot to drive the ball, all he does is to take that three...

[td4mvp21]

So Sam's going to get suspended, right?

Probably. He clearly punched Jacque Vaughn. He's dirty.

[1Parker1]

Ime is playing great right out the gates. The injury must have been affecting him a lot more than people realized. He's moving a lot better on defense and his jumpshot definitely has more jump :lol

Even Jaque Vaughn is hitting shots for the Spurs. Good thing Finley hasn't attempted a shot yet. :tu :)

[Don Quixote]

Pop going with Vaughn over MM. Good decision.

MM may as well turn in his jersey, or try to $ell it to some fan in the gift shop.

But I'm sure someone else will sign him ... ?

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

I like the rotations so far - Oberto starting, JV and Ime getting burn.

I wonder how long they'll stay in zone - it should really only be used as a shock tactic for a few sets, then back to man.

[HighLowLobForBig-50]

Hi everyone
Go Spurs
what a relief to see the team playin like this, keep it up guys

[td4mvp21]

Is it only me or YOU guys agree that manu has forgot to drive the ball, all he does is to take that three...

It's very, very difficult to drive on the Celtics, they are too good defensively. You should be impressed that Parker has scored as many times as he has in the paint so far.

[mVp]

Our bench is scoring!!! WTF!? :lol

[td4mvp21]

DUNCAN with the lefty!!!

[Obstructed_View]

Even Jaque Vaughn is hitting shots for the Spurs. Good thing Finley hasn't attempted a shot yet. :tu :)
Vaughn's jumper's been very solid this year.

[Spurs Brazil]

TD hook!!!!!!!!

[ednobli2]

Can we do it 4 quarters?

[Brutalis]

Really solid stuff there. Top notch. :lol :lol :rolleyes

FYI, the "go fuck yourself" is a whole lot more intimidating when you haven't already exposed yourself as a 160 pound 20-year old.
Yeah.. top.. notch.. stuff...

You are making this too easy for me.

I'm sick and tired of little j00 mav fans having nothing better to do in life than coming to a god damn SPURS game thread. seriously how pathetic is that? imagine what everyone else thinks that don't even say shit about it!

Fucking little tart is all you be my son. Go wash your hands and try harder. And it's, 170lbs, 6-3, to be accurate. All of which would have no problems with you.

Now do what every other tadpole does and morph into something somewhat more respectable if you care to continue my love.

[Behrooz24]

bad foul

[remingtonbo2001]

Will Tim begin to find his post-season form?

[1Parker1]

23-9 Spurs

Garnett at the FT line.

[Agloco]

Gimmie A Score Dammit!!!!!

Im Locked In The Library At School Studying!!!!!!!!

[td4mvp21]

We need to do this for four quarters.

[Brutalis]

This game is a lot like how Georgia started against my Hogs last night.

Blah. Except the good guys are winning.

[remingtonbo2001]

Big Shot!

[BonnerDynasty]

It Doesn"t Feel Right Watching Them Hit So Many Shots!

[Spurs Brazil]

Horry 222222222222222222222

[Chris]

MR Horry!

[spursjustice]

Can we do it 4 quarters?

we probably can't shoot like this for 4 quarters... but I sure hope our defense holds up!

[greens]

Horry!

[Agloco]

Nvm......

[Obstructed_View]

Are the foul calls as bad as Schoening has said they are?

[spursjustice]

big shot bobby thinks the playoffs have started

[boutons_]

These guys in white, who are they?

[howbouthemspurs]

manuuuuuuu

[loveforthegame]

Everyone but Finley has taken a shot. Good sign we'll win this game.

[Spurs Brazil]

Manu tres!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!

[Chris]

Manu for 3!

[spursjustice]

Manu!!!!!!!!

[boutons_]

with no VaRayRay, Celts gonna have a long night.

[Don Quixote]

And that's a Manu ¡trés!

[greens]

Manu!

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

Woah. Where have THESE Spurs been?

[Brutalis]

These guys in white, who are they?
Dunno but people out west say they are babies, that cheated against the Suns and have asterisks for titles, nothing more than wannabe Lakers.

What did you hear?

[ednobli2]

Sean saying we will win....confidence

[Obstructed_View]

Now how do the Spurs respond to the inevitable run?

[td4mvp21]

Excellent start!! This is what I've been dying to see from this team.

[Leetonidas]

Best Spurs start all season.

[carina_gino20]

Timmy will not let them lose tonight.

[td4mvp21]

Hopefully we can keep this up for four quarters.

[Behrooz24]

[inevitable letdown begins]

[Brutalis]

17 point first quarter lead?

Man, as if we wasn't a 2nd half team to begin with, we better maintain this shit.

[Chris]

Great 1st quarter for the Spurs. Sean Elliott guarantees a win!!

[Obstructed_View]

Woah. Where have THESE Spurs been?
Didn't you suggest the lineup change they used tonight? Seems to have helped trememdously.

[Horry For 3!]

Spurs Domination.


It is good to see them playing well. I actually get to see the game as I don't have to work today.

[BonnerDynasty]

Pretty obvious what is going on here.

Spurs tapping into the Irish Luck thanks to Bonner.

[td4mvp21]

Ray Allen is out so it's been a tad easier to defend the Celtics but even without Allen the Celts are fucking good.

[hater]

Duncan is sodomizing KG

[Obstructed_View]

17 point first quarter lead?

Man, as if we wasn't a 2nd half team to begin with, we better maintain this shit.
Problem has been that they haven't been a 48 minute team all year. This would be a great time to change that.

[Creation88]

THIS is the Spurs team i like. great energy, aggression, and execution. lets keep it up!
