Celtics vs Spurs

[CaptChris]

The Spurs are without Tony Parker. Celts are without Perk and maybe Robonson.

Wallace starts for Perk. Rasheed Wallace is averaging 9.0 points this season, but he has scored just 14 (3.5 ppg) in his last four games. He has been a big dissappointment this season. He has to stay out of foul trouble against Tim Duncan.

We can run on the Spurs. Rondo should have a good night without Parker.

Get err Done!

George Hill is one of the better defenders at the point guard position in the league. He's quick and physical with long arms, and he likes to play D. So, despite no Parker, Rondo will be tested in this one.

To follow it up, he goes against Westbrook on Wednesday. I'll go as far as saying that the three of them, Rondo, Westbrook, and Hill, are the three best defensive PGs in the NBA.

Will the Celtics come out with energy and be able to sustain it? If they get a double digit lead will they step on their throat or relax and let them back into the game? Doing the later can be dangerous against a veteran team like the Spurs, as they know how to grab an opportunity when it comes their way.

2nd Unit Nothing! RAy 1 - 6 FG. Only 9 foul shots.

Go to the basket. RAsheed -- You don't need a Visa to go near the boards on "O"!

No energy out of anyone (except maybe Sheldon Williams) tonight.

Hey, if the players don't care, why should we?

I didn't watch much of it but what I saw was pretty sad. They were throwing passes around that looked worse than the ones the college kids were making earlier in the day.

You would think professionals would understand the importance of possessing the basketball and not be throwing wild passes and jump balls to guys like Baby in the post.

Looked like a mental lapse from what I saw but honestly it was not interesting enough for me to watch much of it.

Reminded me of this loss to Utah: totally flat second half, for no real reason.

[CaptChris]

Well let's make sure that PP gets the ball. That stops it like it was going into McHale's Black Hole. All ball movement stopped. UGLY! Doc kept saying: " Make the extra pass". "Move the ball". Just like talking to Rasheed Wallace. Nothing!

We didn't go to the hole all night. Only 9 foul shots in the 1st half. We got our butts kicked on the boards again.

Just when they start to look pretty good again, we get a STINKER like tkhsi.

I was stuck in the ER last night and couldn't watch the game, I was checking the scores on my iPhone until half way through the third when I gave up and began watching funny videos on YouTube. A much more productive use of my time.

More productive, except you missed the Bat-Manu show. The guy just can outright play.

I still long for Ray Allen to bring energy like Manu, but doubt that will ever happen.

The C's need Perk's presence in the paint, guys were going to the hoop with no fear.
