Game Blog: Celtics at Spurs 3/20/09

Oh, so now someone makes a shot. me I hate that when they do that - can't make one to win the game, but splash when down by 4. ing choke job.

Finley hitting a 3 when the game is pretty finished is kinda pathetic, this game gets more bitter

[HarlemHeat37]

the funniest part is that we couldn't even make ONE of the 6 free throws..not even 1..

[tomtom]

man that was the worst loss ive ever seen

[peskypesky]

Sucks so much that the happiness I feel about Gooden being a Spur is shattered by the fact that the season has taken a mortal toll. No Manu. A hobbled Duncan.

I haven't given up all hope, but it's clear that without Manu, we have nobody we can trust with the ball at the end of a game.

This was a disappointing loss...but some of you need to get a grip or just let go. We aren't even at full strength.

Exactly. It's a tough loss because it could have been ours but the missed 3s and ft's killed us. We just gave it away and that's not like the Spurs.

Learn from it and move on.

[Mavs<Spurs]

Lost this game in the third when we let them go on that major run.

And sealed it by missing 6 free throws at the end.

That's about the only silver lining to this loss.

[Admidave50]

ed up game, we didn't get sufficient offensive help besides TP and TD

Now I see why everyone says the game blogs are a joke. Some of you might as well go root for the Lakers.

spurs are struggling on their threes because duncan hasn't been commanding much of a double team. duncan is disappearing in the post, settling on jump shots, and just plain missing. no distraction from duncan means more pressure on the shooters.

Bull , they missed about 7 open threes.

That's what did it.

[Ice009]

This has sealed the deal for me. I was just about to get on the TP bandwagon.

I've had enough of TP's misses at the free throw line at the end of a close game.

The guy is a mental weakling at the stripe. Never be elite missing shots like that all the time.

I DON"T give a WHAT TIMVP says TP STINKS AT THE FREE THROW LINE. I've been saying it since the start of the season and TP ing blows it again.

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

And now this game has become a circus.

Nothing to worry about here. We are in an offensive funk lately, but the D is really starting to look like Spurs D. The O will come back. Good to get these yips out of the way now before the playoffs.

[koriwhat]

god those refs are in' idiots

[timtonymanu]

get ready for

-ESPN preaching the Celtics for winning.
- meltdown on Spurstalk ( i admit i started a thread)


im honestly done with basketball until Manu comes back. these games are taking over my schedule too much and i hate wasting my time being disappointed.

[ducks]

manu ing ginobili. we need you!!

spurs uusally shot 76% from the stripe
shote 56% from stripe
spurs lose by 3

spurs could have easlily won tonight without many
keep making the excuse spurs need manu to win

Please calm down and stop before making an even bigger fool of yourself.

TP pretty much carried us for most of the game when no one could buy a shot. Missed free throws blow, but they're not the sole reason we lost this one. We missed open jumpers, didn't play well in D. This isn't the end of the world.

[Ice009]

For sake, get a grip. Yes, it is a horrible loss, but stupid absolutism doesn't make it any better

You really need some anger management counselling.

Call the over reaction police. I guess you didn't read my poster earlier in the game blog.

I need another poster to hit me before i press enter so I don't go posting some of that stuff .

[Chomag]

umm.. dare I ask?

[Chomag]

How many minutes did Finley Play?

[024]

parker kept the spurs in this game. if anything, blame should shift to the next member of the big 3, tim duncan. it's not just duncan's fault though, no one else really stepped up. just parker against the celtics.

[Death In June]

Too many?

if you are done
then you are not a spur fan
you are a manu fan


spurs lost because of free throws
spurs usally lose a few games a season because they can not hit their free throws
if you follwo the spurs you know this
