Gotta wonder why they didn't put the ball in Ginobili's hands for that last play of the half. He's in that unstoppable mode right now.
finley is really bad right now. he can't make a shot to save his life.
we need to come out of the 2nd half like we did the 1st. same energy, penetration, and aggression.

They don't need assists. The refs have given them about 12.
Saving the Red Rocket for the 2nd half. Good deal Pop. Keep him fresh!
I'll take up 10 on the Celtics.
Gotta adjust though, the Celtics have cranked the D up.
Seriously though, I am not watching the game. But it seems like the Celtics are getting a lot of offensive rebounds. Are the dominating the paint?
People need to realize Pop loves Findog for coming and playing for cheap. We are going to live or die by Finley's play this post-season (probably the latter).

Last ditch effort to get his shot going.
I wouldn't be too surprised if he slumps, then breaks out during the playoffs.

The Spurs' defense has been so suffocating. The 1 assist says a lot. We shouldn't only be up 10. Thank you biased officiating!
I'm surprised by how good the Celtics defense is. You look at them on paper and you wouldn't think they're a great defensive team with the makeup of the players they have. But they've adjusted very well in the 2nd quarter and aggressively double and triple teamed Duncan taking him out of the equation after his great start.
I don't like that Pop is playing Horry. I'd rather have Kurt Thomas and Oberto play more. And Finley is sucking yet again unfortunately. I really cannot wait till Barry comes back. At this point, Barry on one leg is an improvement over Finley, IMO.
Ginobili, Parker, and Duncan had a great first half...especially Ginobili. He's playing like he played when Parker was out and he carried this team on his back.
Too bad despite the hot start and the good bench play for once, Spurs lead is cut to 10 and the Celtics gained momentum going into the half.
If by dominating you mean going over the back and shoving Spurs players under the basket, then yeah, they're dominating.
13-16 FTs for Celtics
3-4 FTs for the Spurs...
Manu-18pts
TP-8pts
TD=8pts
Bruce=6pts
Ime=5pts
Spurs Assists=13
Celtics Assists=1
Only the big three have played more minutes than Finley.

Pop had no options because Ime and Bruce 3PFs
Bowen and Udoka have 3 fouls each. Who's Pop going to go with if they pick up more fouls and this game is close?
I'm disapointed that the lead is now 10, but it's understandable. This is the Celtics. I just want the win.
Yeah, Barry needs to come back pronto and take Finley's minutes until he decides to get out of this slump. Barry can at least find the open man.
what agreat 2nd qtr there spurs
Celtics without their all-world sharpshooter.
Bruce and Ime both in foul trouble.
Totally agree, can't wait for Brent to take his spot in the rotation.
i don't understand the fans of other teams that post on this message board. it's a Spurs message board, you're not gonna like what you read here. leave.
it's really pathetic you spend your time doing this. kinda sad.
Duncan will have to adjust in the 2nd half and play through the lousy ref job. He is fully capable of doing that. He needs to take the ball right at KG and shove it back in his throat, maybe get him in foul trouble.
Manu has been spectacular, Parker has been good, and we need more of that.
Udoka and Bowen need to stay out of foul trouble and keep hitting big shots.
We should be able to win this one.
With what Fin is doing, we might be better off playing four on five.
