Spurs (15-20) at Celtics (25-9) Game #35 1/8/20

[Mahk E Mahk]

This is the first time in a while weve got our complete starters so Id cut them some slack, plus that idiot ref who ruined this game.

All will be forgiven with a Sixers win of course. We win vs the Sixers and I dont care if we lost to the Wizards one more time.

none of this explains the continued lack of effort or the ridiculously slow starts. this team doesn’t have a skill problem, it has a serious will issue.

Celtics are a basketball all team with too much offensive freedom. They make too few basketball plays, with everyone just casually looking for their own shot. It works when they shoot well, but when they don't shoot well, they are a one trick pony, turning to just shooting the 3 and praying.

Stevens needs to stop being Mr. Rogers and build himself a dog house that holds players that take poor shots, and make weak passes.

[Jiri Welsch]

Thanks for putting up with my over the top (tongue-in-cheek sometimes) negativity. Hopefully they bounce back tomorrow.

I think the worst thing that happened to the Celtics was messing around against Atlanta and Chicago yet still winning. They developed bad habits during those two games. Hopefully tonight was a wake up call.

Goodnight guys, see you here tomorrow.

This is our 4th game in 6 nights. Do you really need me to point out everything for you?

this, tp

[satch]

Too many wing players.

[CoachBS#1]

Talentwise this team is very good but just standing there waiting for the pass to come and create doesn't seem smart, everybody needs to move and play better without the ball that's why I think there are not too many assits.

We actually run a lot of sets. The problem is Brown and Tatum doesnt have the court vision needed to make the best decisions when they are trapped. This is why they end up with a lot of turnovers when it happens. Compare it to when Hayward and Kemba runs the plays.

Horrid game. Brad should done a load management thing tonight.

[RockinRyA]

Too many wing players.

We dont actually have too many wing players. Our problem is after Tatum, Hayward, and Brown our next wing player is Semi and rookies.

This is the risk when you carry too much rookies.

Theis and Kenba have capable backups but Tatum, Hayward and Brown's backups are themselves.

Yeah I think so too. Wouldve done so as soon as Wanamaker had that dumb out of bounds turnover. If it was Pop he'd probably do it at the start of the 4th. Or even before the gMe.

[Chief]

Too many wing players.

I agree. Everybody tried to emulate the Warriors but no one else had Draymond Green.

^this. We also don't have a ton of off ball movement from our guys, which adds pressure on the ballhandler to create shots for them.

The last four games we have almost no movement off the ball when the dribbler goes into iso mode.

Defensive effort has also been sorely lacking.
