CELTICS VERSUS SPURS 2/8/09 

Post#1 » by exculpatory » Sun Feb 8, 2009 5:40 pm

Please lock this after WTB puts up one of his awesome game displays.

WE ARE GOING TO BEAT THESE GUYS. Then I hope they catch the Fakers, or at least give them some heartburn. LOL
SamIam 2010: Truth's ability to play so incredibly efficiently is so UNDERAPPRECIATED. Bballcool 2012: Amazing how great Pierce has been for so long. Continues to defy age! KG 2013: P is original Celtic. Wherever he goes, we go. This is The Truth's house.

A slow shooting start, we are leaving them too many open looks our rotations are a step slow at the begining, if we start making our easy shots though we should be good we are getting excellent penetration.

Interesting start to this game. C's should exploit the Bonner/KG matchup.

Boy, that's NOT the way to close out a quarter---build a 7 point lead and let the Spurs go on a 6-0 run with TA and Rondo taking ill-advised jumpers-to close out the first...Doc was just talking about this the other day.

What the f*ck are you doing, Doc? Don't bench KG and Pierce until it is necessary.

Terrible close out of the quarter after a decent start.

Horrible substitutions by Doc. TA and Powe for PP and KG? Rondo, TA, Ray, Powe, Perk lineup just can`t work together. I hate Rondo, TA back court...no shooting whatsoever...

4 ok minutes followed by 6 good minutes and the last 2 minutes undid most of the good of the previous 6. We really need perk this game he cant get those moving screen fouls, the thought is good. I didnt think rondo was doing a great job running the 2nd unit there, the shots we were taking were not great.

Powe holds the ball WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAYYYYYYY to long. Spurs are not missing many 3's either.

C's letting Matt Bonner beat them---every time I see him play against the Lakers, he SUCKS BIG TIME.

Inside look into behind enemy lines.


The Celts are doing a solid job on Parker defensively, but allowing Bonner to beat them under the basket.

the second unit played ok, The spurs are making some tough shots, good for them, we are making them work, we need to do a better job converting.

Defense has been horrible! When Bonner is dominating you know we are not playing well...

And TA is just so frustrating to watch...we need to trade him...

Is Bonner applying for the Celts killer position?
