Celtics (13-11) at Spurs (19-5) Game #25 12/14/16

[JSD]

Spurs, to their credit, are hitting some impressive shots. Smart couldn't have played Kawi any better on that possession.

This team just isn't all that good. They still have time to figure it out, but right now, we're pretty mediocre.

[trickybilly]

It's easy to forget just how good Tony Parker is at basketball

[SHAQATTACK]

So I guess we should ignore Smart's +/- tonight?

Naturally

Hmmmmmmmmmmmm Horford.

Terrible body language, too.

Good point. Seems like we only talk about it when it's really good. All of sudden the stat becomes flawed when it's really bad.

[PhoSita]

Alright, it's good that Rozier can score, but my goodness he's given up so many points with bad D, to old Parker nonetheless.

Yeah, it's tough watching this unit on defense.

No offense to you, but I've seen this refrain way too many times this season. "Dang, the other team just couldn't miss! They can't keep it up." And yet they do.

Naturally

Isn't it just being matched up with the Spurs starters?

You cannot be making $26 million and not be a vocal leader on this team.

They're missing their best player and are facing an opponent that, even at full strength, is on a completely different level.

[liam]

Whoever took Jaylen Brown out isn't watching this game!

That will cost us extra .....

[jpotter33]

Three bricked threes in a row. Sums up our offense this season.

Yeah, the made shots thing breaks down when you see the opponent consistently getting inside.  If you get that close to the basket that frequently you end up making a lot of shots.  Just how this game works.
