Spurs @ Celtics Feb. 10 - Game Blog

[word]

LOL so according to everyone here Tony Parker is more of a defensive anchor than Kevin Garnett.

I'll give you that he is a pivotal cog for their offense, but KG impacts the game more overall when you take offense/defense into account.

no loller, parker can actually handle the ball without turning it over, penetrate, spread the offense, and score points. Defense he's a wash at best but he runs the Spurs offense, dummy. It all goes through him.

If I could provide you with "evidence" of future events yet to occur, then I probably wouldn't be wasting my time watching basketball (except maybe in a gambling sense). I'd be on Wall Street.

Sounds like that's what you should be doing, though. You could be a billionaire by now!

The past dictates the present. Defense wins championships.

I'm sure that's why none of you Mavs fans have realized your team is completely flawed. Do you even really have confidence in their ability to get out of the WC?

[rascal]

Wow if you take out the last 6 free throws because the Spurs fouled on purpose 27-13 is a little one sided

The spurs did not attack the basket.

[tlongII]

Bad loss for the Spurs. Boston was missing both KG and Kendrick Perkins. It has to be disheartening to be out-worked inside when the opponents' top two inside threats are out.

[Beno Udrih]

What?

Same thing I ask my self every time I see you get your panties in bunch when you're here. Yet you continue to read the things that you know you wont like.

[anjlbitz]

Did anyone notice that Damon Stoudamire shot all of the last shots at the end of every quarter.... and missed ALL 4?

Just thought I'd throw it out there lol

[peskypesky]

Well continue to bail your asses out too when countries attack you.

Your welcome for WW2 btw face.

Please refrain from displaying your jingoism and ignorance of historical fact. It was the Soviet Union which defeated the Germans on the Eastern Front in WWII, not the United States.

Spurs missing both TP and Barry. Your point?

Oh sweet jesus. You can't be serious. The past dictates the present? That's solid. Really solid stuff. Perhaps a username change to "Confucius Havoc" is in order.

[Harry Callahan]

Actually you should stick to the Lakers because you obviously don't know about the Spurs.

Thumbs up to AHF. He hit it right on the head. 75% of SA's running game is tied to number 9. We become the 2000 Spurs (Walk it up - Grind it out) without him.

Thank goodness Boston (namely Red Auerbach - AKA Dr. Evil) did not have the stones to draft Tony Parker with the 22nd pick in 2001. They picked some stiff from North Carolina instead.

KG + Perkins >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> TP + Barry

[T Park]

no Spur got 20 pts.

Duncan and Ginobili both scored over 20.

Continue

How can you attack when you keep driving and getting fouled? Manu attacks gets fouled and losses the ball. Duncan attacks and people keep reaching in and he losses the ball. If your allowed to foul each time the team attacks without a call you eventually start just shooting jumpers.

Come on now. It was not that bad. The announcers said the game was evenly called. I saw that the refs let some contact go but nothing that blatent.

The Celtics out hussled the spurs to more loose balls and looked to play with more desire.

KG + Perkins >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> TP + Barry

I can do that to!

TP + Barry >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>KG + Perkins

[ManuTim_best of Fwiendz]

if the pass indicates the present the Spurs have no chance of repeating.

I hope our attempts to repeat, are parallel to the 80's Lakers attempts to repeat

87,88

07, ???

I hope we have enough good karma for the basketball gods...(collected from all those bad foul calls )

@ the announcers drop

yeah cause they will say if a game is one sided.

God shut up already.

[DazedAndConfused]

There is no excuse for a championship team like SAS to lose to the Celtics minus KG and Perkins, their two best defensive players. This was a poor loss on National TV.

[rascal]

According to T Park the allies were just the Americans.

[tlongII]

LMAO at people saying Tony Parker is as valuable to the Spurs as Garnett is to the Celtics!

[DazedAndConfused]

So now the Spurs fans are complaining about the refs? You guys sound like PHX fans now.

I hope you're right and not him, because I really want to repeat

[rascal]

if you don't think 33-13 free throws was that bad..what game were you watching? And you can take out the last 6 free throws because the SPurs fouled on purpose. So 27-13 foul shots is a even called game?

Yes from what I saw the spurs did not draw half as many fouls because they were not aggressive in attacking the basket.

The national tv championship wasn't the Spurs to lose to begin with anyways!

[DazedAndConfused]

there is no reason that the Favorites the Lakers should have been blown out twice by the Celtics..horrible

The Celtics, before we got Gasol, were a better team than we were at the time. I have no problems admitting that.

You couldn't beat the Celts minus their defensive anchors. If KG was there it would have been a blowout.

[ManuTim_best of Fwiendz]

Bingo.

Although Duncan could have had more than 4 foul shots.

Also I saw a couple And-1's the refs passed up on Duncan and Manu.

We still would have had not an even amount. Boston came out really hungry and were outplaying the Spurs for 48 minutes.
