Celtics (22-4) at Spurs (17-8) Game #27 12/8/17

Reminiscence of Cavs game, ugh.

[rocknrollforyoursoul]

Aldridge made Horford look like a chump all night long, and then Al didn't do jack squat on offense.

Ginobili hits two (essentially halfcourt) heaves.

Celtics got killed on the glass like Game 7 of the 2010 Finals (complete with Pau Gasol still sticking it to us).

Great work.

Tough loss.  Great game.  Nothing to be sad about.  On to the next one.

[Kuberski33]

This figured to be a tough one.  These guys defend and it helped (them) that Horford and Morris had off nights.

[Atzar]

What can I say?  Great game.  Good look at the end.  Didn’t work out for us this time.

[vjcsmoke]

Kyrie had a chance at it but rims out... aaah so close!

In the end the Ginobili last second 3 and the inability to stop Aldridge bites us in the butt.

We are going to need to look for a guy who can handle post bigs. 

Drummond also destroyed us in the Pistons game.

IMO losing Baynes hurt as a lot on the interior defense.

DA should look for a big man defensive bargain with the exception.

[SCeltic34]

I figured we'd lose either tonight or against Detroit next game.  Can't win em all.

I'm still mad about the foul discrepancy though.  That was a poorly officiated game, even by NBA standards.

[Roy H.]

Aldridge just ate up Horford tonight.

I think he would have gotten his against anybody tonight. Al’s defense was solid, but LMA was a beast.

Nice melt. We're 22-5.

Relax.

Pierce would have jumped into that in the air man😁Just saying...It was fun but dissapointed.

[Tr1boy]

Why not let Tatum be the man sometimes?

He just keeps making big shots but cbs doesnt let him finish the game

Tatum hits the big three... Go back to him cbs/kyrie

[hwangjini_1]

spurs played well. on the road, sometimes you lose to good teams. the celtics played well, just a few shots rimmed out.

tps to everyone to console you on a friday.

TOO MANT [dang] OUTSIDE SHOTS

KYRIE SHOULDA WENT INSIDE ON LAST JUMPER INSTEAD

NO REBOUNDING ON D END TERRIBLE

and AL HAS BEEN DESTROYED THIS GAME

CBS shoulda subbed in Theis, rather than Rozier, for defense and rebounding down the stretch. 

i was about to post this. THEIS woulda done better on boards and defensively than horford.

HORFORD WAS KILLED TONIGHT terrible. just terrible..

Nah, let's just leave the rebounding to the Lilliputians.

[BlastFromThePast]

start doubling Aldrich

Shoulda tried that much, much earlier.

Too bad Kyrie lost his touch.  Ginobli OTOH has ice in his veins.

Yeah, that was the only frustrating part of the gameplan for me... no doubling even though Aldridge moves so slow.  They tried it once (at the end of this 4th quarter) and got a turnover.

In the 1st quarter, he gave up the ball 2x.  One an unforced TO, the other someone got a swipe on the ball kinda like Tatum.  But, CBS didn't change the switching defense allowing LA to go off tonight.

Horford single handily cost the C’s this game. Dude better redeem himself against Drummond on Sunday.
