We can win tonight, we just need to take care to defend Crawford better in the fourth.

(And rebound please....)

crawford...try tony allen on him....what can it hurt? and yes...boston has to start rebounding that to me is a major portion of the struggles

[Drucci]

Put Scal on Josh Smith if KG struggles, he owned him the last time we played the Hawks. And yes, TA or Rondo on Crawford should be a good choice but I fear that Doc won't do it.

It's difficult to play Tony Allen + Rajon Rondo in the same backcourt in a close game against a high quality opponent. Their lack of shooting ability causes a lot of problems.

I think the Celtics have to go with Rasheed + KG in that circumstance. Hope their big man shooting provides enough spacing to keep the offense ticking.

i think daniels would be the crawford stopper

It will mean Doc having to sacrifice Ray's offense for Tony's defense. Ray just came out and said he was open to Tony playing more. Doc, here is your chance, take him at his word.

HAIL LUNESTA!

I think the Celtics win this games. About times for the Hawks luck to regress to the mean.

I'm very interested in Garnett. He looked really bad yesterday, worse than at any point this season.

Yeps.

We'll have a decent chance tonight if the free throws are closer to even than they were last night.  40-18?  NBA officiating is now on par with HS Girls Basketball level.

Not that the Celtics didn't shoot themselves in the foot last night, but the foul disrepancy didn't help them.

I agree that the FT factor will play huge tonight, because it will slow down the Hawks who only seem to kill us when they are out and running.

However, I don't agree that last night's game was a result of officiating in any way.  We fouled waaaaaay too much.  We rotated so well at times, but it seemed like everytime an assignment was missed, we just fouled.  That alone kept the Magic close enough to strike.

Tonight, we have to not settle for outside shots.  That will get the Hawks running.  We need to pound it inside and get to the line a lot.

Here's to a win in Hotlanta!

[Drucci]

The game is about to start. Don't forget the NBA already sees us losing this game... so, a win would be good.
