Celtics (57-15) at Hawks (33-39) Game #73 3/28/24

[SparzWizard]

Frustrating game.  The C's look soft and uninspired.

They don't look like a championship team. They look like second round fodders with the effort given.

[SCeltic34]

Matthews gets away with so much physical contact.

[SCeltic34]

JB making huge defensive plays.

[jpotter33]

This is what I hate about our team sometimes. When we play this way, we just give the opponent momentum. I mean, these are still NBA players. If you give a team enough momentum, anyone can beat you. Both Hunter and Murray clearly have a lot of momentum right now and are carrying this team to a close game.

Both teams take it up a notch defensively the last min or so

[Indocelts]

White, twice with the offensive put backs.

[Goldstar88]

JB is locked in!

[celticinorlando]

Hunter. Give me a break.

Sucks so bad all season until Boston.

[SCeltic34]

I'll live with these contested 3's by Hunter.  On the vast majority of nights those are bricks.

[Atzar]

Two hands on a player in the post is supposed to be an automatic foul.  Yet we have Matthews straight up shoving KP off his spot and the refs just sit and watch.  Nonsense.

[jpotter33]

What in the world are we doing there? Who just left Hunter and gave him a wide open three on the inbounds with two seconds on the shot clock? Just brain fart after brain fart. Stupid lack of focus.

Exactly. He can’t hit anything from 3 most every game.

I don’t mind them bein put under pressure because that’s what they will face in the playoffs. They’ve not been put under pressure much this season with all the blowouts so I feel it’s a weakness…best get more reps under pressure, even if it’s due to their own ineptitude, when it doesn’t matter so they handle it better when it does. I’m excited to see how they respond

It's one thing to ask for being under pressure to work on. But another thing when there's been a history of that since the Jays came in and all they've done are taking poor ISOs or bad BBIQ
