Official Game Preview: Celtics at Hawks

[rd79]

CHA down 12 pts, 10 mins to go...

I think Charlotte is our best bet in a 3/6 series with us having home court.  Boston next.  Miami being he least desirable opponent.  If Miami loses today we are in a prime spot for the 3rd seed.

When is the coach/prez gonna stand up for the Paul non calls? He'll argue in game but not so much afterwards.. Fans fuss but some tech's would be earned to get the points across.

The refs hate Bud and our team, not sure complaining would do much good

I'm so glad that Teague  has developed a left  hand.  It's gonna be huge come playoff time.

Teams are  forcing him left.

Great games by Millsap and Jeff.  The Hawks probably waited for Boston to run off of steam a bit and that is just what they did. 

The only down side is that Al is back to playing that mediocre basketball after a month or so of really good play.

Lol, no.  I wish I could afford 8th row seats at a Celtics game.

I was in section 117, Row X - cost $91.00

I also read that he was the first player this season to have 5 blocks and 5 three's in a game. And one of like 10 since the early 80's. I thought the number would be higher than that.

Actually he is the only player in NBA history to have a game of 30+ points, 15+ boards, 5 blocks and 5 threes. Never been done before.

OT: I got a Teague jersey last year and was debating between a few players this year..Sap, Horford, Korver, Dennis.

 

Sap is making it awfully hard for me not to roll with him. I really hope that he is named  to an all NBA team this year. Do they only have 1st and 2nd teams because in the past they had 3rd team as well? If there are 3 all NBA teams he is a must in my opinion, but if there are only 2, then it's tough.

They have 3 All-NBA teams and 2 All-Defense teams.  He should have a good shot at 3rd Team All-NBA, which is what Horford and Joe Johnson each made for a signle season some years ago.

Oh, nice. Did they used to have 3 defensive teams then? Maybe I got confused with 2's and 3's cuz I'm apparently all 6's n 7's according to the Brits lol

I don't think they've ever had 3 defensive teams, but maybe sometime a ways back?

I think Sap has a good shot at both 3rd team All-NBA and 2nd Team All-D.  David Aldridge actually had both Horford and Sap on his All-NBA squad (with Horf making 2nd team which seems like a bit of a stretch to me).

Horford is prolly on 2nd cuz there aren't many good centers out there in today's game. No Ewing Shaq Hakeem

No doubt.  Still seems like a stretch but you have a bunch of flawed candidates at center.
