Game Thread: Spurs vs Celtics -- Sat. (12/5) - 7:30PM CST (3:30AM Riga Time)

I wish Pop would sit Manu out for several games. He just doesn't have any legs left and we don't need him for a while.

[HI-FI]

Manu looks like he's paid off a la Game 6 2013

[SAGirl]

thanks for the reminder

I hear you.

[Kawhitstorm]

TP with a meh game so far, average, but it's okay as long he doesn't force the issue too much with Thomas playing well against him. Gotta look for your team bosses more though, while already doing a decent job finding the shooters at the perimeter -too bad Danny & Manu can't convert them.

Avery Bradley is hounding him, their soft spot is inside which is why I didn't like Manu trying to run PnRs then calling his number.

We need his leadership. Our backup wings are very inexperienced and not ready for this pressure big time yet.

[SpurPadre]

Gotta get West more minutes, especially when he has it going.

That won't happen unless Danny rediscovers his shot. Simmons/Danny is going to be Tony Allen status on offense w/o Manu.

[UNT Eagles 2016]

Just realize Lebron isn't playing in the @ Heat game tonight... pussy afraid to get booed by former team fans

Tim should just chill on the bench, just ride West/Diaw/LMA & pound them inside. Kawhi should just focus on defense or just spotting up.

[Nathan89]

Love when Diaw is aggressive. Aggressive Diaw is an all-star level player.

[UNT Eagles 2016]

thanks for the reminder

well, at least they beat the Cavs for us. Lost to MethKC and GSW twice each, though.

[heyheymymy]

might "sit" Ginobili out with an "injury" just to get Danny in rhythm. Gotta force him to find his shot at this point.

Agreed, except I'd like to see a Kawhi dunk.

He can do that after a steal

There is no such thing as "forcing someone to find their shots". He's shooting when he's open & putting up shots in practice.

[Nathan89]

Some of the Celtics defenders have the energy of Mills but with the kicker of good defensive abilities.

If Kawhi decides to camp out and just be Bruce Bowen on offense, we lose in the playoffs. The big 3 aren't in their prime anymore for that to work

Just talking about tonight, not long term.

Marcus Smart isn't even playing in the game & dude plays w/ the same intensity as Russell Westbrook.

nah, i've seen it before. guys realize the situation when the team is depending on them and step up. happens all the time in the nba.

Crowder is a very good defender but they are soft inside, so smash them in the paint

[BillMc]

Hold them under 90!

[TXstbobcat]

Tony!!!!!

[loveforthegame]

Leonard getting screwed.

[UNT Eagles 2016]

BAD CALL


Ball don't lie,
