Spurs (1-1) at Celtics (1-1) Game #3 11/1/15

I REALLY don't like LMA on this Spurs team. That fit really doesn't seem to be there.

I am a skeptic. I don't think it is going to be a good marriage. LMA's style of play quite different to what SAS has been doing over the last few years. Needs a lot of touches which detracts from the stellar job Duncan does as a high post facilitator to that high octane offense. They are going to lose something somewhere. Something very valuable. A good chunk of those positives are going to come at the expense of somebody else.

In Pop I trust.

Ugh".........Turner again......

Get on the phone Danny!

The Celts are on their way to a major blowout.

If the Celts look like a lottery team, it's because they're playing down to their own talent level right now, instead of rising above it like they did at the end of last season.

Please burn the tape from that quarter... well first let Brad see it so that he NEVER uses that starting lineup again.

We did have a favorable schedule at the end of the year and got lucky against better teams who sat players or missing players.

[PhoSita]

That is one of the worst quarters I've seen this team play in a while.


Turned into the Isaiah Thomas show at the end, and not in a good way.

Yep, and it's just exacerbating the problem by getting off to these horribly-slow starts.

I absolutely and unequivocably agree.

Some of these guys are playing even below their talent level... I know there's no superstar but it's Philly level out there right now...

[KeepRondo]

Well at least LarBird is happy

That's why we need to never use that ridiculous starting lineup again... that's what happens, it just demoralizes the whole team

What Boris Diaw is doing now late in his career is exactly what Antoine Walker should have been doing as an NBA late in Antoine's career. Being one of the ultimate glue guys in the NBA with his ball-handling, passing, post game, shooting, defensive versatility and rebounding ... if Antoine was committed instead of being blacklisted from the league at 31 years of age.

Yup.....been saying that .....and it's going to happen again.......stars play n well now .....Celtics get killed.......when they sit at seasons end Celtics pick up wins .

The talent level between these teams is soooooo lopsided.
