It's definitely true that there's 2-3 posters that get more pleasure on this board out the the team losing so they can call out those of us that are optimistic than they do when the team wins.  These same posters are generally silent during the big wins.  It is what it is.  Helps to just ignore them.  

Certain posters were mighty silent during the ECF run. I think that run only made them even more bitter. The Playoff series versus Miami was their opening. They've come back with a vengeance ever since.

Did John Collins play today?

Technically, yes. 

Need to give AJ a look in Game 3.

We were close, then a barrage of 3pt shots by the Cs, compounded by the Hawks not hitting diddly squat.

There's no margin for error against Boston. The Hawks defense isn't good enough to hold when the offense stalls. The Hawks seem to miss every big shot that could swing the game in their favor. 

This is worse than Game 1. At least the 2nd half of Game 1 gave me some hope. Maybe playing in ATL will give these guys a lift.

Yeah, we got the worst fans in the NBA^^^^^

They're enjoying this. It's like they want this team to fail miserably.

They called a foul on OO???

 

That was complete BS. It looked like Brogdon just jumped back into OO while he had the rebound.

How was that NOT a foul on Brown????

Good communication by Collins on that last defensive possession.

It's because he has lost his confidence.  When that happens your decision making is bad.  He's in his own head like crazy.

He always had unshakeable confidence before. He needs to get his edge back. That's what made him what he was.

Only down 9. There's no margin for error in the 4th. 

Carry these guys Murray!!!

Hawks are just overmatched. People can blame Trae or whoever but there is just not enough talent or shooters on the this team. 

It is a 2 seed versus a 7 seed. But the Hawks look so out of sync on offense. They were never a good defensive team but the offense looked legit during the regular season. I thought the offense would at least keep them in games.

Quin is teaching these kids a lesson

I don't understand. That's a floater all day for Trae. Why is he doing this??? When in doubt, just score the ball. 

Trae has completely lost whatever he had when came into the league. This isn't the same player from a few seasons ago. Dude, just shoot the ball.

That's 5. That needs to be Trae's last turnover for this game.

Celtics just gave Collins that 3.  Didn't even run out at him.

And he still hesitated. He's not feeling it.

When Trae is bad he is BAD

He's hurting the team right now by being so erratic and impulsive. He started off so well and then it quickly went downhill after he came back in. 

Stop imploding Trae. Calm down.

Isn't that what we said though?

Nobody hates Hunter. We want him to succeed and be the 3 and D guy the Hawks drafted at #4.

I expected this in Game 1, but I'm not complaining. Better late than never.

Not a must win game, but it would be awesome to steal this on the road just to shut the media up. 

I'm not mad. The Hawks looked like the Hawks in the 2nd half and didn't look outmatched at all. They came back without Trae having a good game so that's encouraging. Just avoid digging such a huge hole in Game 2 and the Hawks should be fine. All they need is to come back to ATL 1-1.

Murray is doing too much. Move the ball.

Hawks need to carry this over to Game 2.
