After a ten level win over the Washington Wizards on Monday night time, the Spurs face a a lot more durable opponent tonight of their last sport earlier than the All Star Break in opposition to the defending champions, the Boston Celtics. Sitting at second place within the Jap Convention standings with 38 wins, it goes with out saying that Boston will probably be a more durable opponent than the 9 win Wizards that the Spurs dropped 131 factors on just a few days in the past. To have a shot at profitable this sport, the Spurs might want to enhance on protection, and in addition might want to enhance their defensive rebounding, as a substitute of giving up a jillion second-chance factors. (tough estimate)
It will likely be nice to see outdated buddy Derrick White once more, however since he’s misplaced his hair, he’s gotten loads meaner. Nicely not likely, however he’s been actually good for the Celtics, and he’s probably the greatest defenders within the league. He’s really good, except you attempt to rating on him. The Celtics are led by the Jays [Jayson Tatum and Jaylen Brown] and I count on the Spurs to attempt Sochan and/or Fortress to gradual them down once they’re within the sport. Search for Victor Wembanyama to have a strong sport earlier than he leaves for San Francisco to play within the All Star festivities this weekend. Stephon Fortress will probably be collaborating within the dunk contest this weekend, however hopefully, he’ll preview a few of these strikes tonight. The Spurs will return to motion subsequent week on Thursday night time on the Moody Heart in opposition to the Suns, so there’s no purpose to relaxation anybody. Let’s go Spurs!
Sport Prediction:
Stephon Fortress will preview his dunk contest strikes for the Boston crowd throughout sport play. They are going to be impressed, however not happy.
One last phrase:
GO SPURS GOOOO!!!
