Wednesday: San Antonio Spurs (29-5) at Boston Celtics (26-7)
Game Preview: http://www.spurstalk.com/forums/showthread.php?t=169683
Time: 07:30 PM ET/01:30 AM CET
Location: TD Garden, Boston, MA
TV: League Pass, CSN-NE, FSSW-SA, WOAI, WEEI
Jermaine O'Neal on the Spurs:
“You can hate a lot of teams for a lot of different reasons, but not that team. They don’t talk. They don’t say much. They just go out and play and win games. You admire that as a player.”

Doc Rivers on the Spurs:
“I think people like them because they’re good people, No. 1. And I think they like them also because they all try to play team basketball. They all buy into the system. There are no selfish guys, no agenda players on their team. They are the most high-character team in the league. I think people like that. They appreciate that."
:flag::flag::flag:
Well, per usual my fervent hopes loiter in the confidence that Daddy spills the Spur's plums all over Boston.
Spurs win big, no way they play as bad as yesterday.
On the decision which Popovich made at the end of the knicks game:
He didn’t like what he’d seen, and he didn’t like losing. But he could use this. He could insist the current record is meaningless if they don’t continue to take steps toward the playoffs.
With that, Ginobili and the others sat down. Popovich will now enjoy telling them how to get up. (http://blog.mysanantonio.com/spursna...et-the-record/)
Let's see how angry the spurs can be! GO SPURS GO!
Bos 96 - 88 Spurs
Game will be live on ESPN here in Brazil
Boston's current favorite referee, Bill Kennedy, is the crew chief tonight.

How about some history about Kennedy? (Picked up my fourth foul.) Well, he and Doc Rivers have a huge spat, detailed here, dating back at least a few years. Doc says Kennedy once called “the most unprofessional tech” Doc has ever received, and Tim Donaghy says the animosity between the two goes far deeper than that:
“I’m just gonna come out and say it like it is,” Donaghy said during an appearance on the Celtics Late Night Show. “It’s no secret on the staff that Bill Kennedy is a homosexual… I don’t have any ill will towards gays or lesbians, but it was no secret that he’s a homosexual. It was known around the league, it was obvious during a game Doc Rivers questioned his sexual orientation and I think that has stuck with Kennedy over the years and he has no love for Doc Rivers and the Boston Celtics.” (Five fouls for me.)
i hope the spurs dont fuck it up on defense like yesterday....
Tough matchup even without KG. As long as we play with better effort and more of a focus defensively I'll be happy. Should be a close game.
Yep. Just want to see some fire!:toastQuote:

It can be a spurs or Boston game but am hoping that Spurs will overcome the Celtics.
Pierce has averaged 11 ppg in his last 3 games vs Spurs
I thought NY would be the easy game... this is gonna be tough on B2B. I say we win though.
Can't wait for the game to start.
So the game featuring the top 2 teams in the league can be seen live in Brazil, but not in the US? Instead we'll get LA and Phoenix at 10.30?Quote:

Pregame.

I'm still questioning why ESPN didn't show this game at 5:30 and then have Lakers and Suns at 8:30.Quote:

We got this.
Ok, time for the worst announcer of the NBA: Tommy Heinsohn
Celtics call. :(
Clash of the Titans *lol*
last night's spurs game gave me nightmare after watching it live at MSG, the spurs better play some defense tonite :ihit
Which means Splitter will get alot of minutes tonight :hatQuote:

Spurs should win this game, even though it's a back-to-back..the effort should be good after last night's game, the Celtics are a relatively slow-paced team, they don't have much of a size advantage with KG, Perkins out..
Most important of all, Garnett isn't playing, and statistically speaking, he's #2 in the NBA in on/off court value to his team IIRC..
When Shaq is in the game, the Spurs better attack and pick up fouls..their only backup big in this game is a mediocre Jermaine O'Neal IIRC..
I'm not sure about that one ... good chances because Dice played last nightQuote:

Game time!
How much Hack-A-Shaq will we see tonight?
Starters Duncan, Blair, Parker, Ginobili, and Jefferson. Go Spurs Go
WTF Parker
Blair already lost in the 1st D possession and TD 1st foul
Forget that Shag is a Celt...
Timmy J
There we go Timmy.
Td!
Hope that starts Duncan's offense.
Turnover, yuck...
Manu and Blair looking terrible so far..
Hopefully Bonner can re-create some of that magic he's had @ Boston..
Good job Bonner
Bonner dunk! :lol
good job Bonner
What is it with Bonner with follow up dunks? :lol
WTF is Manu doing on D?
Manu terrible defense
Manu is getting absolutely torched..
Pop pissed as he should be
this celtics broadcast is fucking atrocious
damn it bad start :bang
way to come out guys.
How the fuck can you allow Ray Allen to waltz into the lane like this?
This is shaping up to be like the previous game- no defense by the spurs.
Put Hill on Allen. Manu sucks right now.
Matt! :wow
Not the best of starts on the defensive end, to put it this way.
Pop will be angry all nite if the defense is bad???
George Hill please instead of Manu right now.
Manu's D is non existent seriously drop him for some games or something because he needs to get his game back.
+1. Tommy Heinsohn blabbers like a drunken lunaticQuote:

Rj!
wtf manu
Rj 3!
rrrrrrrrrrrrrrrjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjj 33333333333333333333333
It's gonna be a horrible nite for the Spurs if this how we play...go spurs go
spurs need hill's defense and energy to start a game, in place of manu of course:bang:bang
Blair had a monster game last year against the Celtics.. lets hope he productive in this one.
:lmao Tony's shot
TP lol
Tony....
Wake up Tony FUCKKKKKKKKKK
That Parker 3 was way off...
:lmao
tp 3
Pop should quit now. Bring in Udoka.
Oops.
Took too much time with that one..he needs to get his head in the game.
Pop called the timeout and didn't say anything :lol
:lol Parker with an airball and a side of the backboard shot already..
Spurs leave Paul Pierce WIDE open for 3 in transition..this defense is atrocious..people like to talk about the lack of interior D, but like I've been saying all year, the perimeter defenders on this team are even worse..
horrible start. wtf are they doing. they are panicking
I'm furious. The frustration must be only a fraction of Pop's though. Shit defense. Transition 3 by Pierce? Play some fucking D.
Celtics can score 128 as well
Oh god, we were spoiled by the Knicks announcers cause we get one of the worse in the Celtics announcers tonight.
God I wish Parker could shoot 3's.
Manu is really hurting us right now.
Here comes the bench
Maybe it's time to start George Hill for defensive purposes.
Defense SUCKS ass.
Manu is shit lately.
