AND stopped going to Boris who probably played his best game of the year.
We had no answer for Thomas. Td struggled defending shooting team's like these. You have to give them credit. Stevens is a he'll of a as coach. Celtics are a handful and have one unguardable player in Thomas.

I like to call that game a moral loss. At least it's a real win though.
Boris is a such a cool cat on the mic.![]()
I am with you.

Boston is scrappy. They certainly don't quit. Stevens is doing a nice job there.
Only thing I don't like is that they're very good at grabbing and slapping. Reminds me of Chicago. Refs let them get away with a lot.
Actually, this will wake them up and hopefully prevent any sort of a trap game against the 76ers.
they are an allstar big away from top 4 seed in the East..
Spurs astonishing defense allows 34 pts in 4th qtr.
Pop was too stubborn to trap Isaiah & dare Amir shoot, dude was 1-4 from 3 (he ain't Ryan Anderson). Isaiah is as good as anyone when it comes to getting into the paint & exposing mismatches w/ a big.
Celtics were the 2nd best defense the past couple of weeks & they gave up 108 despite Kawhi/Tony having an off night.
Don't like this "good thing we don't play them again" mindset; not with this roster.
Seriously, they slap and grab and... no call. We get called for every little tricky-tacky touch foul. We would foul out the entire roster if we ever played like those guys!
David Lee; they have actually been rumored to be interested in Cousins (willing to give up multiple 1st rd picks the Nets owe them)
Respect to Boston for putting up a of a fight.
With an ALL-STAR big, I make them out to be #2 seed.
Agreed I am not sure if he just pissed up Pop to end the 3rd. He really started to get passive and passing the ball into traffic. I through at different points Manu and Kawhi were also tired and started making bad decisions.
A lot to learn from this. We had been defending their 3 well until this game. Still a game we won when we only 5 threes I'll take it!
Also, Danny and Kawhi making clutch FT. Good and thrilling game. Can't blame POP fir this one. Players themselves git sloppy at times.
He still doesn't trust Kyle. I think he only played bc of the foul trouble situation, but he played well. That will help his confidence. When even LMA and Boris were nit playing down the stretch you know Pop was sticking to his trusted guys.
Good quality clutch win requiring good performance down the stretch and enough too scare the bejeezus out of them.
Kawhi was whacky in the 4th. The team needs to do a better job of getting him in rhytem if they want to use him as an offensive optio when the game slows down. 4 shots in the first half aint going to cut it.
Spurs win but pop was really poor today. He overcoached.
damn spurs played like crap in the 4th quarter, totally outplayed - that lineup with aldridge and 4 'smalls' did not play well at all
Kawhi was bothered by the physicality but the refs let them play b/c they set the tone right from tip off w/ their energy.
also kawhi's 4th quarter is the worst stretch of bball hes played this season
Not gonna win every game by 25. 17-4 is killer and would have more luster if it wasn't for the god damn Warriors.
Kyle was quite good. I was surprised that he only logged 8 minutes. Seemed like more.
Manu was busy over-dribbling instead of giving the ball to LMA in the post & letting him go to work.
He didnt have any touch or rhytem. He shot times in the first half. Parker was too my.ball happy
