Game Thread: Spurs @ Celtics - Wed. 2/12/2025 -- 6:00pm CST (2:00am RIGA; 2:00pm Hawaii)

The Hornets were missing 2 of their best players and were curb stomping the Spurs for most of that game tbh

That's because those players are garbage, much like some of our "best" players.
Our chances of winning games wouldn't take a big hit if CP3, Devin or Keldon got injured, tbh.

At this stage, CP3 being out probably improves us.

Yeah, would be a good time for a DNP-Old.

Well... I do think the Celtics are a class above the Nuggets... but the Celtics have also lost home games to ATL, CHI, PHI, SAC, ATL (again). All teams we've beaten or were in position to beat ourselves... so anything is possible. PHX is @ HOU toda and GS plays DAL... so could actually be a pretty huge W for the Play-In race if we could somehow pull it off. The good news is that so long as HOU takes care of a business a loss doesn't really hurt us too much and the status quo will be maintained. Those CHA and ORL losses loom large right now. We're going to have to go on a legit run here (like a 9 out of 10 type run like ATL and POR recently put together) if we are going to make a go of this. I'm a bit skeptical that we can do it.

FWIW it was the Nuggets coming off a le run last year. Not this year.

I don't think so. We're all just in agreement that it'd help the team. lol

Go Spurs Go!

- Boston are “only” 16-10 at home.
- Fox dropped 40 in April last year at Boston in a one point loss.
- Chance for a “White Castle” jersey swap worth hundreds in endorsements

[heyheymymy]

I like that White Castle call Phantom.

by the way love your new avi. downward triangle is the water sign

[Guru of Nothing]

Yep, like the DashCam avatar. Nice.

CP3 shooting tailed off a lot since the start of the year and defensively he’s a net liability against most teams too. You can’t regularly have a starting PG score 6 points on 30-40% shooting and expect to win. Fox obviously needs to supplant CP3 and Fox and Castle form our new Big 3. This is not CP3 hate at all, just rather being objective at this stage. I don’t regret for a second that we brought in CP3, we may not even be the dumbest team in the league anymore largely thanks to him.

So you're saying there's a chance......

[Strategic]

Can we go ahead and grab KD for this one?

[Robz4000]

Gonna be the Derrick White revenge game imo.

[lefty20]

Awesome! We will prolly only lose by ~12 instead of 25+.

[scott]

Need Sochan to play smart on the offensive end tonight and be able to play big minutes. We basically need him on Tatum all game.

[LeBowen]

Oh it's ing ESPN game, tip-off in about an hour tbh.

[Dejounte]

Anyone have a streaming link

[scott]

The entire pre-game huddle should be basically Mitch just repeating to the team to not help off your man in the paint under any cir stance. Either Vic will shut that down, or he won't... but do not give these guys open ing 3s. Literally this should be the defensive strategy. Sochan on Tatum, Castle on White or Pritchard. Would rather give up a drive than an open 3 against this team. Just try and survive the Wemby minutes as much as possible. Would actually be helpful to have CP3 lead those non-Wemby units because he slows the game down so much.

[spurraider21]

maybe instead of Silver contemplating 10 mintue quarters to make sure the game viewing experience doesnt stretch to 3 hours, he can just make it so games actually start at the listed time the way the NFL does
