Comments from the Other Side - Spurs 12/8/17

Spurs got lucky to win that one.  Celtics beat themselves for the most part.  I don't usually question Brad's coaching but it was obvious that Horford wasn't able to stop Aldridge but yet he only played Baynes and Theis a combined 23 minutes.  Speaking of Baynes, I hope he's ok after that flagrant foul by Gasol that wasn't called.  The referees let a lot go both ways,  but they definitely served up some home cooking for the Spurs as well.  It really surprised me to see how much Spurs fans dislike Popovich.  Everyone has him as the gold standard of coaching but Spurs fans dislike him so much that they call him "poop" and they, like many other fan bases covet Brad Stevens.  Who would have thought it?   My favorites are in bold.  What are yours? 



Not sure why Vegas has Spurs as favourites. The record this year so far vs the good teams is not great. Looking forward to how Baynes does vs his old team.

If the Celtics are missing Hayward, Brown and Morris while the Spurs hold out Kawhi with Kyle hurt, no injury excuse for the Spurs.

I think Hayward is awesome, and Brown is having a breakout sophomore season, but those guys added up don’t match what Kawhi means to the Spurs.


Have to give them more credit: they’re league-leading, not just east-leading.

Was kinda hoping for spurs lebron rematch, and yes like last time go for the sweep, just like ‘07. 10 years in the making, history repeats itself, but wouldn’t mind meeting up with the C’s if they beat Cavs.

The Lebron/Kyrie Grudge series (which is coming) gets tipped in Boston’s favor by Stevens/Lue.

I don’t know that the Spurs have run up against a defense like this yet. Should be interesting to see how the "Offensive Engine" responds.

Irving is the type of player that the Spurs don’t like to play against. He makes bad shot when he gets going, which will force you to change your defense. Worse, he makes you doubt your defensive instinct.

Brad Stevens is probably the best coach in the League right now and Kyrie is a notorious Spurs killer. They've won 4 in a row, their record speaks for itself, and they still haven't lost to a Western Conference team so far this season.

Revenge's' game

Game will be televised on ESPN, sadly. Get ready to see Pop call numerous timeouts during 2-0 BOS runs. They'll be out of TO's by halftime. Also expect some edgy shit like 5-man substitutions. Pop always tries to be the smartest kid in Special Ed when the lights are on.

Full strength the Spurs are better. Not right now.

Spurs will lose because the Celtics have Kyrie and about 4 similar rookies made on nba2k My Player that will kill the Spurs.

Pop will do his part. Hold out Kawhi. Start Mills or Murray. Play 5 bench players the last two minutes of a close game. He's got this.

Facing the Celtics tonight will be tough, but #Spurs guard Manu Ginobili's biggest challenge so far today was comforting a son who didn't want the snow to melt

Celtics by 40+ tbh

On national TV, Spurs probably lose, at home, and decisively. But a win, without KL and KA, would be so sweet

Why are we acting like that scrub KA's loss matters to this team?

National TV game so I'm expecting us to get hosed like usual. Irving has been somewhat of a Spur killer in his career so if we can keep him in check we might have a shot.

Ugh, thanks for reminding me :lol:



I LIKE JAYLEN BROWN’S GLASSES VINTAGE DOPENESS

Hopefully Kyrie doesn't go for 60 tonight.

Empty seats against the best team in the league

Half-empty stadium to start the game per par.

Compared to last game this is a stampede.

Poop already freaking out. Typical early television time out. Here comes the hockey line change.

Jaylen Brown is wearing goggles and he still has a better view of his assignment than D-League Danny

LMA continues to look like absolute garbage. This could be over early.

Spurs signature bad start

I wanna get a pair of goggles like that

Can we get a PG that can play D on Kyrie?

The only PG with any chance defensively is out of the rotation.

I've never hated a Spur more than I've hated that ****ing llama Gasol

Boston is the best team in the league. Of course the spurs come out looking slow and going through the motions, that won’t win the game tonight.

Even the Spurs are better when fully healthy.

Lmao this team is trash

That damn llama spit on the court as Pop subbed his ***** ass out

Kyrie is such a ***** spur killer tbh

Kyrie is, always has been, and always will be a Spurs killer.

Celtics can switch 4 players comfortably.

LOL the Celtics are big at every position except PG and Pop puts in Forbes/Mills.

Weird thing is they’re not big in the conventional sense, just interchangeably big. Jaylen at the 2 is a nightmare.

I remember when Irving had 55 and a zillion 3’s

No one can guard Kyrie right now. Dude is a beast. Gonna need defense by committee.

Patty flopped.

100% legal screen. Fatty just flopped instead of fighting thru it

Pop one technical already.

Kyrie loves the AT&T center. Gonna have another career high again

Kyrie looks like he’s gonna top his 57 point game from a few years back.

Gonna need a heroic effort to win tonight if Marcus Smart is hitting shots.

We are getting to the line, so can’t complain too much about the calls.

Tatum is ridiculously good for a 19 year-old... Has been all season.

Kyrie top 5 spurkiller of all time tbqh

Some of you ****** neckbeards not wanting Kyrie over the summer LMFAOOOOO

Man no ****ing ****, and he wanted to be here too. **** this.

Kyrie gonna go for 80 tonight tbh.

They're letting Boston foul the shit out the Spurs right now.

Yea.. That T from Pop might get he some calls, sometimes it works. He had an obvious and 1

All NBA defense Danny Green just watching everyone guard Kyrie, while he's busy getting his **** pushed in by Brown & Tatum

We suck at defending Point Guards!!!!

The Boston Guards are killing us.

Yes LA! Bully Horford!

 EFF THE LEPRACHAUNS!!!!

Rozier killing the Spurs

Defense killing spurs

Celtics are just getting whatever shot they want, they're just missing them.

This, while the Spurs have to struggle for every single shot. Shows the difference between a well-coached team and one that isn't.

This 1,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000, 000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,00 0,000,000,000,000,000,000x Even Poop admitted he did a shit job incorporating LMA these last 2 years

They do miss Kawhi and Kyle tbh

They're missing Hayward too, tbh.

Just look at the quality of their shot attempts compared to the Spurs.

Tony got away with a blatant travel but we'll take it. Spurs down 5.

Celtics started chucking 3s for a while and missed a bunch. Allowed Tony to make a run

What’s with the refs swallowing the whistle on Boston for the majority of this game?

Refs suck. Guy drove in against 3 guys and he gets rewarded for being out of control

Lol tatums haircut

We played like complete idiots for most of the half, Kyrie made a million shots, and we’re up one. I’m okay with it.

You can see exactly how the Celtics are going to lose in the post season. They're like the Spurs where when they were missing two of the Big Three back in the day. Sure, if everything goes right, they look great. But they have a lot of scrubs in their rotation, and so long as you don't lose sight of that, you should be able to win.

Jaylen is a freak athlete but takes a lot of bonehead shots. Tatum is talented and the real deal but is young.   Horford doesn't rebound. LMA killed him straight up.    They chuck a lot... If they get hot they can pull one on you though...   But Kyrie can take over a game if he has to, Rozier is a pain. Not unbeatable but a pain for sure.

Al Horfort 0 points Aldridge 19

Horford has always been undersized

SPURS HOLDING THEIR OWN AGAINST THE LEAGUE LEADING CELTICS, WITHOUT KAWHI LEONARD!!!

Well, obviously the Celtics are without Kawhi Leonard.

Or ARE THEY!!! That Jaylen Brown plays….

Lmao that Smart flop

Spurs playing 2 bigs against Celtics small ball lineup.

SAS playing like they want to avenge that early season loss

Kyrie keeps getting easy rebounds because nobody is boxing him out.

Brown just insulted everyone

Finally the travels getting called on Tony

Brown looks really smart.

This Celtics team has big problems rebounding.

Lamarcus is unguardable by these small dudes.

Baynes killed by Gasol

Baynsie took a shot

Pau's most physical play of the year, banging the big banga

Best part about that is the ref didn't call the obvious offensive foul. Like adding insult to injury.

Celtics are scary

Marcus Morris seems an odd piece on this Celtics team

Celtics loading up on fouls.

I get why Celtics fans love Rozier so much. Some incredible back to back hustle plays.

Can we allow Smart to have 8 fouls are so to keep him in the game.

Can we decline the ejection for Smart?

Irving seems like a nice dude.

there’s only a certain extent to which I can imagine myself being friends with someone who thinks the world is flat

WHAT? I’m facepalming a lot.

Oh you didn’t know about that? I’m sorry for introducing you to the world where Kyrie is a pretentious flat-earther idiot lol. The worst part is that he makes it out to be like he’s promoting independent critical thinking or some BS.

LMAO!!! I think I’d read about it, but I didn’t really register who it was. So on top of being ignorant, he’s proud and flaunting it? SMH.

It sucks cause I want to like him too. His game is really pretty and he’s playing good D this year. I just can’t get past the flat-earth thing from anyone.

Kyrie with the gentleman’s hard foul

Damn you creepy mask guy!

Kyrie scoops off the dribble without having to gather. it’s nuts.

That stop-and-go Irving has is savage.

Kyrie is hard to stop

That's at least three travels by tony   Superstar calls. Anyone else would get called for it. Referees have been strict calling travels.

Spurs just can't stop Irving. Only chance to win is to keep scoring.

Irving is in kill mode right now. Have to be really careful here.

Tatum continues to kill us.

Like I told you before. Kyrie is stupid and manu is the best spur.

Are we okay with Kyrie jacking late game threes?

Love when stars settle for step back 3s

Manu just "sonned" Tatum (since he’s actually old enough to be Tatum’s dad).

Omg, he had such a good look We got lucky!

KYRIE MISSED

Hell of an ATO by Stevens.

Stevens draws up a lot of awesome ATO plays.

Thank you, Kyrie Irving… for rimming that out.

I don't know enough about science to make jokes about the Earth spinning on its axis being responsible for that shot not dropping.

Now let's lose to Phoenix tomorrow and everyone go back to hating the Spurs!

Manu said up to 5-6 players aren't making the trip to Phoenix tomorrow.

Watch Pop call up the Austin Spurs to play the Suns while resting everyone.

Pau has been told he's not playing tomorrow night.

He didn't even play that many minutes, did he? What in the **** is this clown of a coach doing. This predetermined resting shit has to stop.

Please don’t ruin tonight’s high with the prospect of losing to the awful Suns tomorrow. I wish Pop would quit trying to even the odds for the other team.

Difference between manu and the current streetballers of the nba. Manu admits lucky buzzer beaters as bad shots, kyrie lost the game for Celtics taking same shitty lebron stepback 3.

Had he not taken several terrible threes less than 30 sec prior he may not have to shoot anything but fts. Kyrie has a brain the size of a pea

Man Aldridge destroyed Hortford Although I think Hortford had an off game

Horford played really good defense on Aldridge in the game at Boston.

I like Brown a lot. Horford has been great defensively all year (for all the Kyrie MVP talk, I kiiiinda think Horford’s been their best player), I was a little shocked Aldridge took it to him so much tbh.

By the end of the year, I think Tatum will be as good as Haywood last year. What a weird problem to have.

BOS lost at FT line
BOS had 22 fouls resulting in SAS 21-24 FT
SAS had 14 fouls and BOS 15-17 FT
