The Celtics host the Spurs this afternoon in a meeting of two of the NBA's most polished teams. While Boston has been battling for the top spot in the East with Clevland and Orlando, the Spurs have been trailing only the Lakers out West. Perennial All Star Tim Duncan is having another solid season in his Hall of Fame career, and his battles with KG are always entertaining. The key to the game may be at point guard where Tony Parker is having the best season of his career, but faces one of the few players who can match his quickness in Rajon Rondo. This is one of many potential NBA Finals previews and would be a nice notch in the Celts' belts. Let's go Celtics!

Big game today. All the hype on the network is going to the Kobe vs LeBron game afterwards - which I am so excited about. I hope they fight.
We need to show the Spurs that we can dominate them again this year. Manu Ginobli is very easy to hate. He is super talented - but flops a lot, jumps into the big men and grabs his eye.
Duncan is awesome. Roger Mason is in the 3 point shootout over House - another reason to not like them
only 3 guards are shooting 50% or better: Tony Parker, Jameer Nelson, Rondo
Ray Allen is so good at going to the hole
Hubie Brown LOVES Rondo
I must say - Perk gets away with some moving screens (so does Duncan). There is a lot to be said how Perk has gained respect from the refs. He has worked hard for respect.
HA! Perk illegal pick as I finished the sentence
Leon Powe's nickname according to ABC "The Show"
Manu is the king of shoving his defender away with his forearm. Hubie called him out on it.
Tony Allen's first touch - goes right to the hole and gets fouled. I love it. Eddie House having trouble bringing the ball up - George Hill is all over him
Leon looks great. So aggressive. He gets so much higher than Baby
Ray Ray and Manu are getting into it a bit. Good matchup
Our defense is nowhere near it was vs. Orlando (at its best). Lakers, Knicks went over 100 on us - and the Spurs have 51 points almost at halftime. We need to pick up the intensity.
bullshit call by refs at end of half - 3rd on Perk. Spurs have 60 POINTS AT THE HALF! This is ridiculous.
Celts down 60-52 at halftime.
huge Cs run to begin the 3rd. Celts up 64-62
NH native Matt Bonner having a great game - 18 pts
This game has turned into a defensive one. I hate Big Baby's shot
Big Baby just ripped George Hill's shoulder out of the socket. Gross.
Spurs are playing amazing D down stretch. We are down 85-80. Tony Allen just took a 3....damnit.
Tony Allen to the hole. Great move. Forget about the 3s! Go to the hole, TA
We are getting killed in the paint today. Duncan, Oberto, Kurt Thomas play great D
WOW~ what a play from Rondo to KG - Rondo's 14th assist. Tied at 87 - 4 mins left.....then Duncan gets a 3 point play based off Manu's driving.
This is a great game
Pierce just dove for the ball - was foulded - amazing hustle play
Celts ball 2:24 left - down 90-89
HUGE jumper by KG
another JUMPER KG! After a KG steal. He is stepping up big time
Celts up 1 45 seconds with the ball...big possession
Here we go...
KG jumper in and out! Damnit
ROGER MASON HITS A THREE! CELTS DOWN 2
Horrible turn of events
I feel like I was just punched in the face
OK..our ball 20 seconds left down 2
Manu steals the inbound pass
There is a meeting of refs.
Clear path foul
This game is over.
This was an awful loss. We need to win close games at home. We blew it.
On to New Orleans on Weds.
Ray Allen lost the handle on the inbounds - that was the call.
spurs just scored 7 points in 1.3 seconds. a 3...clear path foul...then another foul...
Trash.
would be cool if the Lakers can give the Cavs their first home loss
3 Sparks/Stars for the Celtics?
Alright, I'm going with....
1. KG
2. RONDO
3. PIERCE
