Game Blog: Spurs @ Celtics - April 4, 2012

[Amuseddaysleeper]

The Celtics have been on fire lately, 16-5 since the ASB.

Ray Allen is expected to return tonight (most likely off the bench, with Avery Bradley as the starting SG)

I asked fellow poster BadOne if I could use it. He was the one who made it.

It's hilarious, eh?

Since we're playing the Celtics, hopefully I can jinx someone on the green side

this guy making blogs= spurs player injured

not expecting a win tonight
boston always plays well vs the spurs
last time they played us at home rondo had 22 points and he won the game by killing us from mid range
ray allens also back to punish green for going under screens

itll be a good game though
last time at boston we came back from being down by like 10 in the final minute to take the gamewinner
which pierce fouled ginobili on but it was a no call and celtics won

Bass is going to feast on Blair, look for him to score 16-20.

I hope Garnett kills Duncan. A very talented deep spurs team we got here. A coue days off with a practice I expect a win. They don't play defense like they used to so Rondo will kill. Bradley's gonna take Manu out & with KG on Timmy, we got this! 31-22 & 2-0 in April let's go!

i actually agree with his predictions
avery bradley might be the best guard defender ive ever seen in a long long time
tony allen is considered the best by most people but he gambles to much for my taste
as much as he steals the ball he probably gives up 2-4 points per steal he gets playing the passing lanes
would like to see Sjack and manu post up bradley since hes pretty undersized
dont think garnet will kill duncan though, more like nuetralize, they have the same game these days
knowing pop put blair on garnett though




actually looks like the whole entire team killed us from midrange
and rondo made more jumpers that game than he did the entire season

Take a shot every time someone refers to these teams as "veteran ball clubs" and hope that you aren't heading down a tunnel towards a bright light by the end of the 1st quarter.

You just don't see Manu getting shut down or taken out his game very often. He's seen all kinds of defenders in his career. And we run so many pick and rolls, so it's not like Manu is going to be ISO'ing him like a lot of other 2 guards do.

[spurs10]

Go Spurs Go!!

[Horse]

I want this one bad not many players I've hated more than Gay-g or the leagues biggest pussy(besides maybe chris paul) ray allen. them our depth will overcome. They don't rebound or play D like they used to. And let's see rondo consistently hit his jumper again.

[Venti Quattro]

I think the Celtics will win because they're going to be riding that gagging that they did to Miami.

I have not seen Avery Bradley much but from what I have seen he really looks like a beast defender tbh.



It'll be tough, but it's a great test.

that block against Wade is nasty ...

[thispego]

Seriously, you're so hard up to make game blogs that you have to start a new one even though every time you've starte one someone on the spurs gets injured? Not saying I believe in that , but why would you tempt fate? Attention methinks.

It was a foul, he had a hand-full of jersey the whole time

Bradley had his arm on Wade, not hand on his jersey.

[Manu-20]

I think manu can find a way to score on bradley he has seen every defense possible and is a very crafty player. It wouldnt suprise me to see the spurs just blow out the celtics or on the other hand it could go the other way.

[Brazil]

Amused with the game blog we're doomed...

[CitizenDwayne]

God I hate the Celtics. Please win.

[Fireball]

think positive everyone ... Spurs will stay healthy !



at PtR somebody posted that he thinks Spurs vs. Celtics is like Marvel vs. DC ... fitting description IMO
