Starting Lineups:

Spurs:
PG - Tony Parker
SG - Manu Ginobli
SF - Richard Jefferson
PF - Tim Duncan
C - Dejuan Blair

Celtics:
PG - Rajon Rondo
SG - Ray Allen
SF - Paul Pierce
PF - Glen Davis
C - Shaquille O'Neal

This will be attempt number two at 30 wins. But we're going to have to beat a very tough Boston team to get win number 30 and we're going to have to do it on tired legs. We can't have another pathetic defensive performance like we had last night if we want to beat the Celtics tonight.

If we're going to win this one the big three need to show tonight and play well. On the defensive end we're going to have to stop Rondo from pentrating and we need to close out on Allen. Also we can't leave Glen Davis open off pick and rolls, he'll kill us with that mid range jumper.

KG will miss this one for the Celtics with a knee injury.

Go Spurs!!

NBA.com reporting that we just waived Udoka. That was surprising to say. It's not like Anderson is ready to play. I wonder who the Spurs got their eye on. I'm thinking Pop is looking at veteran players instead of other young kids.

Winning tonight will erase the poor showing from last night. I expect them to come out fired up.

big baby's jumper is horrible. he shoots it way too often, and it's not a high percentage shot for him at all. i wouldn't worry about that, he has turned into a chucker this yr. i'm a celtics fan saying this.

KG's out? Will we see this then?

What the hell is wrong with his jaw? I wonder if this is the same condition Kobe has.

Our first losing streak of the season. Oh well, no B2B's in the playoffs at least.

No big deal. I had either the Lakers game or the game vs OKC down as a loss so this kinds of balances out. Plus we obviously need to do well vs west teams and aside from the Mavs we're looking good.

I gotta say, your team played great, but the officiating really tainted the game. There were numerous questionable calls for both sides.
Anyways, good luck in the season, I'm rooting for the Spurs to tear apart the West ;)

eh I had a feeling we'd lose this on the road vs Celts on a b2b. No real biggie. Let's get our ish together for the Pacers.
