Game Thread #3: Spurs @ Celtics -- Sunday (11/1) - 2:30PM CST (10:30PM Riga Time)

[Hoops Czar]

Back to back next game. Likely West and Boban will play. Duncan rests with Ginobili.

Anderson got pulled when he made an error. Who knows if he'll ever come back today.

I'm probably in the minority but I think it's way too early in the season to start resting guys. There aren't nearly as many B2B's as their use to be.

[TXstbobcat]

Wonder if that means Timmy doesn't play against the Knicks?

thats what I was wondering with the back to back. west to get major minutes tomorow maybe.

[spurraider21]

outside of the terrible backcourt violation turnover early, Aldridge has played well. just missing shots he normally makes

[Mikeanaro]

Now please bench Manu and let the others do something, leave the old man alone.

I agree with you on that. Secretly though, I am concerned Manu is going to flame out early like last season. He only knows one speed to play, but he's 38. We have to be realistic here or he will crash. It's kind of a worry of mine.

no. we need to milk Manu as long as he holds up. which most likely won't be long. milk that cow

you know your .

West probably starts tomorrow with TD resting.

[NASpurs]

What a world of difference it makes when your fast break defense is actually there. They showed a graphic on the Celtics feed that said the Spurs are giving up 3 points on fast breaks these past two games (not including the Cs game today). The Celtics have four tonight so far.

[SAGirl]

Everyone was worried about the defense falling off without Splitter, but so far it's been the opposite...defense has been phenomenal (outside of a few stretches with the bench), offense has been subpar.

I'll be honest with you, its been that way bc West hasn't played.

[BatManu20]

Lamarcus surprising me with his all around play. Hustle, offensive boards and very very good passing. He's god amazing hands.


awesome from him tbqh

Agreed

You are right, Boban is on a suit resting so tomorrow he can crash Madison Square Garden and then climb the Empire State Cia Pop knows whats important and whats not.
