Celtics (2-1) at Hawks (1-2) Round 1 Game #4 2/23/23

[celticinorlando]

Starting to get concerned about this series. Boston gave Atlanta life and momentum. Now tonight is really important. Going back to Boston 2-2 would be somewhat a disaster.

That's fine, but question, were you expecting them to sweep this series? And if not, what game were you expecting them to lose?

I’m talking about game 4. Cannot lose this one. They lost their one game. Can’t give them more life with a game 4 win.

Let's GO CELTICS!

one game at a time.  one possession at a time.  Make all of them mean something.  Get the game 1 mojo back.

Agreed

We need to make these smaller Atlanta guards work in defense. Marcus and Jaylen need to live in there. When the the defense helps, the 3s will be open.

Ugh we got Zarba tonight as the ref

Need to switch my focus from Basketball to hockey for a bit.  No Krejci or Bergeron again.  Bruins need me.

Celtics 115
Hawks 104

Tatum with 31, Jaylen with 27, and Horford finally puts it together and has a great all-around game tonight to help us ice it late. There will be stretches where the defense is still a bit shaky and the Hawks are hitting shots and going on runs, but I think the C's will be a lot more focused and I doubt ATL is going to make every single tough shot like they did Friday night

Truth is, Cs don’t need throwback Al every night. If he can conjure those 29 year old legs twice a series, it’ll be huge.  I’m ecstatic about the Cs roster and the individual potential of those that comprise the roster.  It’s getting it together as a team for 48 that is worrisome.  This series should be the series that they prove to themselves that they can play a full 48.  In fact, they’d only need 38 v. Atlanta. So far the Cs haven’t demonstrated the capacity to keep there heads in the game - move the ball on O, play energized D - throughout.
