Pierce hits a jumper from the middle of the key. Parker misses a jumper and Barry gets the rebound. Greene fouls Duncan. Veal coming in again (WHY? ?)

Misses the FT and Celts rebound. PP misses a 3 and ball goes out of bounds off Celtics. Parkers floater not good. Tip no good. Celts come away with it. blount misses a jumper Spurs rebound. oberto travels. Spurs all complaining all the way down to the announcers. Blount hits a jumper. Scramble in the last seconds and no shot. time out. these announcers are absolutely terrible. They are talking about what a great player Blount is and his monster rebounding numbers. Then they start talking about how good Veal is. Like adding insult to injury. Celts inbound. Barry commits a foul. Celts inbound with 7 sec. Blount misses a jumper and Al gets the rebound and puts it back at the buzzer. Score is 65-75 spurs at the end of 3

Were are PP and Ricky tonight. Low FG% and Atts. PP and Ricky are playing hard. Several of ricky's shots went in and out. They are playing very tough defense on both of them and trying to deny them the ball and when they do get it double teaming to prevent the shot. Every shot they have taken was over someone or was contested.

Ricky hits a quick jumper coming out of the break. Dickau in with West in the back court. Van Exel is fouled and hits 1 of 2 FTs. Ricky drives the lane and misses a jump shot. Spurs rebound. Spurs lose it out of bounds. Now they are saying that they are really impressed with Ricky and that he has played very well and under control. Nice to hear after they were ragging on him earlier.

Steal by Ricky. Nice bounce pass by Ricky to PP for a Jam. Spurs lose it out of bounds. PP hits a jumper from the top of the key. Lead is back to 10. Barry misses a jumper and Finley gets the O Rebound and tips it home. Blount hits a jumper. Foul on Celts. Finley shooting 2. Hits both FTs Ricky drives the lane and comes up and under for 2. Very nice shot. 3 second violation on spurs. Blount misses a turn around jumper and Spurs rebound. Bowen misses a 3 and gets his own rebound. Fresh 24 for the Spurs. spurs lose it out of bounds. Gomes shot goes in and out. Spurs rebond. Spurs hit a shot. Rasho makes a block. Perk comes up with it. Gomes misses again. Spurs rebound. Final score 101 to 89.
We played hard and kept coming back every time they made a run. I am disappointed with the loss but not with the effort. Veal should never have been in. But other than that, the others played fairly well, even Blount. I have to give it to the Spurs. They are a great defensive team and played us tough.
