Actually Rondo (their best player and one of few PG's capable of keeping up with Westbrook) wasn't playing at all.

1. Their best player wasn't playing

2. That is extremely embarrassing to give up in one half, BUT it's a different deal to give up 72 in one half versus 140 in a whole game. At least the Celtics showed some evidence of a sack by holding the Thunder to 47 points in the 2nd half

3. The Celtics also have no shot at a championship. They have a losing record right now and have lost 5 in a row. They do suck.

The Spurs 3 best players weren't playing. And their best bench player... Come on dude.

The first line of this thread says that all of their best players were playing. That's not true.

My point is, you start a thread claiming the Spurs D is terrible because of the Portland game.

Now this thread is started as a response to you, and you come running to defend the Celtics?

The Spurs circumstances don't matter but the Celtics do?

I said the Celtics suck and they have no chance to win the championship. They have a losing record. And even they had enough sack to not give up more than 50 points in the 2nd half after giving up 72 in the first half.
