Veterans of the Game Thread know how we do things around here, but for all you newbies we have a few rules. Our <a href=\"http:\/\/www.poundingtherock.com\/community-guidelines\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">community guidelines<\/a> apply and basically say be cool, no personal attacks, don\u2019t troll and don\u2019t swear too much. <\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1nfb3k4i _16w9vov1 _16w9vov0 ls9zuh1\">The Spurs are on their best stretch of the season, winning 14 of their last 15 games, with a lot of them being blowouts like Sunday night\u2019s pasting of the Rockets, punctuated by some exciting contests like last Friday\u2019s 25 point comeback in a four point victory over Kawhi Leonard and the Clippers. The only blemish on that incredible run was a loss to an Eastern Conference team, as the Knicks shut down the Silver and Black for a 114-89 win in Madison Square Garden. Tonight the Spurs face another hot team from the east, the rising Celtics, who are now considered by many sites to be favored to overtake the Pistons and take the top spot with the return of Jayson Tatum from a Achilles tendon injury just 10 months after the rupture. The Celtics were already a contender with Jaylen Brown leading the way for a deep roster, but the addition of a second superstar makes them an instant title contender, and perhaps the favorite for the NBA playoff season.<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1nfb3k4i _16w9vov1 _16w9vov0 ls9zuh1\">This might be the toughest test yet for the Spurs on the current run, but they will be bolstered by a home crowd, and Victor Wembanyama is playing the best basketball of his career (so far, who knows how high his ceiling will be?). It\u2019s a nationally televised game, so the entire country is primed to see two of best the teams in the league fight it out. The Spurs previously beat Boston 100-95 at Boston Garden on January 10, but with Tatum back in the lineup, it\u2019s not going to be easy to keep them under 100 points tonight. This will be the last meeting between the two teams this season, unless they meet in the NBA finals, which would be cool beyond belief. It would be nice for the Spurs to continue their dominance over (most of) the Eastern Conference. LETS GO SPURS!!!<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1nfb3k4i _16w9vov1 _16w9vov0 ls9zuh1\">Devin Vassell will take on Jayson Tatum as the primary defender and have a steal with a breakaway dunk late in the game.<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1nfb3k4i _16w9vov1 _16w9vov0 ls9zuh1\">San Antonio Spurs vs Boston Celtics<br \/>March 10, 2026 | 7:00 PM CT <br \/>Streaming: Peacock<br \/>TV: Peacock, NBC, FanDuel Sports Southwest<br \/>Reminder: It is against site policy to post links to illegal streams in the comments.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Welcome to the Game Thread.
