Spurs (33-15) at Celtics (42-10) 2/8

What makes this loss worse is that we really needed this since it's our last game at home for awhile.

Very tough roadtrip coming up and I don't have complete trust in this team to win games on the road against good teams like I did last year.

I'm annoyed that Doc took Ray out when he was on fire.

What happened after that?

3-10, including a clutch miss.

[Chief]

GAME WAS LOST IN THE FIRST 4 MINUTES OF THE 4TH WHEN DOC WENT TO THE BENCH...TOO MANY GAMES THIS YEAR HAS BEEN LOST BECAUSE THE BENCH CAN'T BE CONSISTENT NIGHT IN AND NIGHT OUT.....GET OFF YOUR ASS DANNY AND IMPROVE THIS TEAM

I'd prefer Doc giving Pierce and Allen some rest in the 3rd. Playing both of them the entire 3rd was just bad coaching.

[Andrew Celtic Nation]

Blame the game on the bench all you want but all Ray had to do was inbound the [dang] ball and we had a chance for a tie or lead.

Games aren't decided by 1 play.

This one was, its silly to look back at who played bad and blame it on that when you had a 3 point lead with one minute left. We overcame the bench's bad play and should have won this game. Our starters blew the 3 point lead and Ray's inbound led to 4 free points for SA in a 2 point game.

I like Pruitt with that second unit better than TA. It's just better to have House off the ball. We need another point guard. One point is not going to cut it.

yup Doc cost us this one too, Edited.  Profanity and masked profanity are against forum rules and may result in discipline.n him. it had nothing to do with the horrible defense that took place from 5 minutes into the game down to the very end.

[Andrew Celtic Nation]

Sorry, I messed up with the editing feature.

he never should have gone to the bench at the start of the 4th that long in a close game...bench stinks period. this team needs a lot of help to get back to the finals..

If only KG coulda hit that 2-point shot...

It would have been nice, but KG did his job on the two possessions before that.  He got a good look, and the ball just spun out.

Yeah he was feeling good and that was a good stroke, just bad luck that it spun out instead of in.  Part of the game.

You would think Doc would stop putting that lineup out there to start the 4th after so many leads they have blown.

[Andrew Celtic Nation]

Eddie House's defense on Hill was particularly bad. Even when the shot clock was running down and we knew he was going to shot Eddie still didn't bother his shot.

[Chief]

yup Doc cost us this one too, ****n him. it had nothing to do with the horrible defense that took place from 5 minutes into the game down to the very end.

Starters were probably wore out after having to get the lead back that the bench lost. And I blame Doc for that.

[ACF]

I hate the Lakers, I hate the Cavs
and now I also hate the Spurs.

*SIGH*

I was going to throw TP's all around
but now I'm not in the mood.
See you tomorrow, fellas...

[celticinorlando]

well...now we really need the lakers to best the Cavs....rather have LA in a 2-3-2 series than have the cavs have home court in the east..

Benches are overrated anyhow,let's just play the starters 48 minutes.
