3/11 Celtics @ Hawks

[bigq]

Tonight is the start of a six game road trip. I was surprised to see that the Hawks are a game above .500. I had assumed they were much worse given that they recently shit canned their coach and their meh roster. There is a reasonable chance that the Hawks could be the Celtics opponent in the first round of the upcoming playoffs. I would welcome that match up because I think the Hawks are not very good at basketball. Also I've been to Atlanta half a dozen times in the past twelve months and not once have I seen a hawk there. Harry the Hawks!

Humble the Hawks

 

[chilidawg]

Axe Atlanta

 

[Buster Olney the Lonely]

Ground the Hawks.

Taking my son to the game. Been awhile since I’ve seen Boston lose here.

 

[MyDaughterLovesTomGordon]

Hammer the hawks!

 

[Light-Tower-Power]

Harass the Hawks!

This makes me happy. Bringing your kids to Celtics games is the best. Win it for BOtL’s son!

 

[TripleOT]

I think the Cs are going to roll tonight

I think the Cs are going to roll tonight

Starting....now...

 

[deconstruction]

C's on pace for 225 points

 

[TripleOT]

37 total points in less that four and a half minutes to open the game.

 

[ifmanis5]

Atalanta fired their coach so they can play even less defense.

 

[Just a bit outside]

Our offense is so stationary. Ball moving slow and bodies even slower if at all.

 

[DeJesus Built My Hotrod]

Blake Griffin looking spry. They better take advantage before he goes back into cold storage.

 

[Imbricus]

Celtics need some interior defense.

 

[Bob Montgomerys Helmet Hat]

I love Marcus, and always will. But damn, the backcourt of Brogdon and DWhite is so good.

 

[benhogan]

Hauser is sliding into the Granite void

 

[Imbricus]

What's with Grant not playing? This seems like a game where he might be useful.

 

[Light-Tower-Power]

So do these guys still suck or nah?

 

[hellborn]

Trae Young seems to not suck at least

 

[TripleOT]

JB would drive Belichick crazy

 

[DeJesus Built My Hotrod]

So do these guys still suck or nah?

Nah at the half. Check back after the next quarter!

 

[TripleOT]

At halftime, the Jays are 3-11 from three. The rest of the Cs are 9-13. The Jays took mostly self generated threes, while the other took them off drive and kick out, or perimeter ball movement

GWill stapled to the bench again, I see

Hauser has the staple gun.

High volume 3pt shooter at over 42% is more valuable

 

[Euclis20]

GWill stapled to the bench again, I see

He shouldn't get time if he's playin poorly, but getting him back in shape for the playoffs has to be near the top of the list (and may be at the very top of the non-injury related list). We 100% need him for Giannis, and he's helpful in other matchups.

 

[bigq]

Trae is quick.

 

[ifmanis5]

White just feels stronger on the ball this year than last.

More like GWon't, at this point.

 

[JCizzle]

Great shot from the Haus

 

[Pablo's TB Lover]

Hawks getting Haused.

 

[JCizzle]

Ohhhh poor Blake can't even dunk that

 

[kieckeredinthehead]

Bey is 51% career from 3 against Boston.

 

[ifmanis5]

Quinn still looks like the guy who shows up at a high school party and knows a lot about ketamine.

 

[dhellers]

JB's elbow got hit. So a foul

 

[timelysarcasm]

Scalabrine is the anti-Tommy on some of these calls.

 

[ifmanis5]

The guys really seem to really like Blake.

 

[JCizzle]

Scalabrine is the anti-Tommy on some of these calls.

I'm not a huge fan. Hopefully they overhaul the whole thing when Gorman retires.

 

[benhogan]

agreed. Grant is very important, but he's a little banged up and can use the rest.

He'll be playing high leverage minutes in the playoffs

 

[JCizzle]

Wow. That was clean! Blake can't catch a break.

 

[JCizzle]

Get that shoulder healthy. Grant needs to be able to shoot unless we're facing Giannis.

 

[MyDaughterLovesTomGordon]

This game is turning into a slog

 

[TripleOT]

Why would Joe start the fourth quarter, without either Brown or Tatum on the court?

 

[JohnnyTheBone]

The incomparable JAYSON TATUM!!

 

[ifmanis5]

Can't wait until we trade for Bey in 5 years and he sucks for us.

 

[dhellers]

Bey is 51% career from 3 against Boston.

Higher now?

 

[chilidawg]

How about some stops? Let's not let this fritter away into another OT affair.

 

[DeadlySplitter]

Why does this feel inevitable?

 

[JohnnyTheBone]

Let the cheesedicking commence!

 

[Pablo's TB Lover]

Can't wait until we trade for Bey in 5 years and he sucks for us.

Eh, he might just remain as the C's Frank Catalanotto.
