Hawks vs Celtics game thread

[shocker_90]

There is no way in HELL Sam Cassell should be out playing Mike Bibby????? How many open shots can you give Ray Allen and Paul Pierce????

[thescout5]

The Hawks have some overpaid players and overdrafted players.Bibby, sheesh, what a waste....Marvin what a waste...JJ needs to catch fire he gets paid like a top 5 player. Coaching stinks ...this isn't a very smart basketball team and it has bad coaching that about sums it up.

[mrhonline]

Hmmm....

Maybe the reason the Celts won 66 games is that they're good.

Hmmm.

[Duff_Man]

Am I alone in seeing that the lineups are just retarded?

[SmooveTheFuture]

WTF how do you possibly miss open layups like Marvin Williams is missing right now. Chris Paul will haunt this franchise for the rest of there History. The guy is the MVP of the league and we got a guy who cant even hit layups.

[exodus]

I am getting tired of watching Bibby in a hurry. At least Woodson had the sense to put Acie in. The problem is that he didn't keep him in.

The Celtics might be better but there playing there A game and the Hawks are just not playing sound fundamental ball they could be in this game if they did.

Wouldn't matter if the Hawks were playing their 'A' game or not.

The Celtics have three playoff-savvy HOFers on their roster desperate for a championship, solid team defense, and a good bench.

Somebody needs to clean that stupid spot up on the floor the Hawk's keep slipping in the same dang spot.

[Kimsey]

Is it me or does Horford spend an extraordinary amount of time on the perimeter on defense. Doesn't he know that he is the center of this team regardless where he is best suited. A foot of his has to be in the paint at all times no matter what.

[Kimsey]

J. Smitty does really run like a gazelle, he almost had Posey falling on the floor trying to catch up.

[SmooveTheFuture]

Smith needs to attack the basket everytime he touches the ball he either is going to score or get to the line. We gotta rebound harder and stop letting them score stupid 3 pointers we can win this cmon guys PULL TOGETHER WE CAN DO IT.

[mrhonline]

You know, the sloppiness and general unawareness doesn't really surprise me.

What does surprise me is how poorly Bibby is playing. Wasn't his playoff leadership the reason why the Hawks were willing to pay him $15M next year?

Methinks he may become trade deadline bait if this continues...

It will be fixed at halftime ...may reappear on the other end of the court though

Meanwhile, the guy that everybody hates is 3 for 3 with one turn over

nah off-season trade and he's not bait,just a throw in with Marvin,we'd be lucky to get a decent bench player but i'll take it.

Kenny Smith making fun of us (our offense). The rest are joining in.

[Plainview1981]

In garbage minutes basically. It feels like Boston is up by 30 points.

[mattlanta]

This game is still win-able. We've got to box out and hussle. In the first half, we were getting out rebounded by their GUARDS! For example, Rondo ripping the ball from Marvin, Cassel just blowing past Childress to get the rebound, etc. I've been saying this since forever, if we outrebound any team, more than likely, we will be put in a very good position to win that game.

Come on, Atlanta... you're still in this.

P.S. - Kudos to Woodson for putting Acie in. Props to Acie for showing what he's got. Now please put Richardson in for at least a couple minutes if someone needs to sub out. I'm sure he's eager to show that he's got as well, might as well give him a shot.

Kenny Smith is a Knicks' announcer, so he'd know what a bad offense looks like.
