Game Blog: Spurs @ Celtics - Jan. 5

[Fireball]

I want to punch these Boston announcers in the face. WORST.EVER.

Finally we agree on something

[Spurologist]

Heinsohn is the epitome of homerism.

Tp didn't even finish his spin move but Heinsohn interjects "OH HE WALKED!"

[Dex]

Still can't comprehend why the Spurs won't capitalize on Garnett's absence.

Shaq, Davis, and O'Neal are not necessarily scrubs in the defensive post, especially in a system as solid as Doc's.

Sure, the door may be cracked with KG out, but it's far from blown wide open.

[Libri]

Announcers dreading missing out on TD

There still crying about it?

[Capt Bringdown]

What a ty half. Spurs look to have lost a lot of their mojo after the Dallas game, I guess that was our finals.
NY was missing one of their scorers, Boston is missing their defensive anchor and we can't capitalize. Frustrating.

[Muser]

Still can't comprehend why the Spurs won't capitalize on Garnett's absence.

Because all the over big men on the Celtics are scrubs

The beast in TP has woken up....Great. Go Spurs Go. Eva look what u missed

[ElNono]

Tommy making sure everyone knows how he feels on every call... it's such comedy to listen to that guy every season

[Fireball]

Shaq, Davis, and O'Neal are not necessarily scrubs in the defensive post, especially in a system as solid as Doc's.

Sure, the door may be cracked with KG out, but it's far from blown wide open.

And 51 points against the Cs is not bad either, but we have to play defense to win the game ... even if its only for one quarter

[Manu-of-steel]

Spurs with a 2-point lead at half time. Considering how bad we played, i'll take this.

[Muser]

God damn even these half time guys are ing bags.

[angelbelow]

Still can't comprehend why the Spurs won't capitalize on Garnett's absence.

With or without KG, we were gonna go with Bonner as the big who plays the 2nd most minutes. Surely, this wasn't a surprise to you?

With Shaq and JO, pounding the paint isnt the easiest jobe in the world.

[loveforthegame]

Thank goodness for Parker and some help from Duncan, Jefferson, Bonner, and Neal.

Going to need Ginobli and Hill and maybe Blair to help though.

[ElNono]

BTW, the defense is just as sucky as last night... Boston just isn't an up tempo team... But if somebody can figure out how to stop Allen or Pierce, raise a hand...

[Chieflion]

Matt Bonner, our leading shot taker at the half. Number one option!

[Mugen]

my main man Tommy trollin Spurstalk, love it.

[Spurs Brazil]

Celtics FG at the half: 56%

[Fireball]

McDyess played good so far ... I wanna see him with Timmy on the court if its a close game at the end

[ElNono]

They also seem like they're going to go to big baby against Bonner pretty much every ing time... I can't believe big baby is giving us trouble...

[DPG21920]

Tommy is a raging Boston .

[Capt Bringdown]

Sure, the door may be cracked with KG out, but it's far from blown wide open.

Who said anything about blown wide open, the Spurs haven't even tried to attack the basket? Manu 0-2, has he lost the ability to drive? Hill 0-4.

[Manu-of-steel]

What should we expect from these announcers, they are for the Celts. Celts may also call Bill Land and Sean bags.

[ElNono]

You guys keep focusing on how many shots we missed... them shooting 50%+ is no big deal...

[easjer]

Off-topic, but it's the half - oi, Muser - you're a Blues fan? I've got an acquaintance who's a big, big Blues fan, so I've followed them a bit this season. Another acquaintance who's a big AV fan, and another who's a big Tottenham fan. Makes it vaguely interesting. All of that to say I was proud to recognize your avatar,

[Spurologist]

Ray Allen's movement off the ball is unreal and Pierce is making shots without any air space in the area. If one of them cools off, we have to make a run. It needs to be manu time in the 2nd half. He's only taken 2 shots
