don't blame sheldon on that hill point md and the other guard let him by...

Gonna be a blowout.  Wow.

Well, at least the Spurs are starting to look like they might be able to win a series or two in the West.

Well, not over yet..

Sure it is.  I've watched this movie many times this season, I know how it ends, and I don't like it.  The acting is pretty bad and the directing is sub-par to say the least.

Still third qtr, Man..

So it's over just like Game 4 of the 2007-2008 finals, huh?

Pretty sure the C's comeback came a lot earlier than the 4th in that game.  In fact, one of the things I remember most fondly about the '08 team is that they were a great 3rd quarter team.  You knew they were gonna come out and fight in the third, and if they won the third, they had a chance.  This year's team is just the opposite.

C'mon Man, lol....you are killin' me..

ugh...hill and manu carving us up. from down one at the half to getting blown out by 18 plus. i really thought this team was past this type of play.

[Jaycelt]

We need to put Rondo and KG in.  They are the only guys among the starters who have consistently tried to move the ball.  Ray and Pierce have been far too trigger/dribble happy.

Once again, Pierce until a minute ago had more assists than either Rondo and Garnett put together.  He's passing the ball just fine.

We don't seem to have anyone that can stick with quicker G / SF except TA.

Simply put, Doc's original game plan of having the offense flow through Ray and Pierce in any manner(outside or inside) was beaten by Pop's game plan of switching Hill to Allen and playing way off Rondo with Manu.

Rondo wasn't facilitating because he was getting the ball to Allen and Pierce. Allen was taken completely out of the game by Hill and Doc never adjusted properly by setting picks on Manu to set up switches or Rondo drives.

The SA defense was very good and the Celtics outside shooting was pathetic, probably in part due to the SA D. Doc didn't adjust his game plan coming out of the the half and got killed. The team also laid an egg but this game was lost before the game started because Pop out game planned Doc and Doc never changed the plan.

Love the hustle from Ginobil to deflect that rebound.

Force Boston to react ... and they (Finley?) didn't.

[Meadowlark_Scal]

Right and doc won't play him even though no one can cover gino.....TA must have made 1 mistake while everyone else covering gino makes or made 10

[GreenFaith1819]

KG!

[gar]

Horrible defense by Rondo just reaching not moving his feet.

Yup, doc doesn't adjust well....the guys don't hit their shots and doc has no answers....!

[vinnie]

So what is the reason for tonight's lack of hustle, ball movement and failure to guard any Spurs taking a three-point shot tonight?

[Meadowlark_Scal]

it is always one guy on the other team that torches us, and doc has no adjustment, no answers....!

[FallGuy]

Just a serious beatdown. Just one game but the  smarter, more energized team is winning this one tonight.

[Meadowlark_Scal]

Heyyyyy, lets trade Scal for Bonner.....!!!!
