I know with the twenty something point win most people have breathed a sigh of relief, but they need to put this series away tonight. We need to see the gameplan enacted and not let the team get carried away. Calm, Cool, and collective. Let the game come to them. Don't play the helter skelter of the Hawks. They need to keep composure and play within the team concept. And for God Sakes Get DONNY OFF THE AIR! Man, I miss Tommy on the road!

DE FENSE..DE FENSE..DE FENSE

Double team Joe Johnson make someone else beat you..

Look to pick up early fouls on Smith and Johnson...Take the charge, take it right at them..

Pierce has to keep going to the HOOP

I'd also like to see Garnett take it to the HOOP and finish Strong instead of settling for Js
See, this is why I'm not allowed to announce NBA games -- I'd be talking in the Cookie Monster voice right now:

Ahhhhhhhhhh ... my knee hurts ... ahhhhhhhhhhhhh ... me don't like when my knee hurts ...

Exactly! DEEEE-FENSE!

Getting JJ and Josh Smith in foul trouble early is great. Rondo needs to keep Bibby bottled as well. Can we please get a double team on Horford as well? They let him go one on one so many times. I would like to see if he can pass out of the double team.

Play on the road the same way you played at home. 


Win by 15-25 point.

Take the crowd out early and this time KEEP THEM OUT.

In Game 4 the Celts came out red hot and went up big, quickly, but they cold have been up even more.  They missed a bunch of bunnies (the layup, not the joyful little creatures we like to console ourselves with here on CB) and started getting down on themselves a bit.  Before you knew it the Hawks were right back in it and the fans were going nutty.

If the Celts don't have spells of panic, they'll be fine. 
Yup

Execute offensively. Milk your money matchups (KG, whichever wing JJ isn't defending, Rondo), get easy baskets and push the ball.

Atlanta can't run if you're putting the ball in the hoop every time. Atlanta can't play in the halfcourt. Atlanta doesn't have the firepower to keep up.

Keys to the game:

- Blitz after every pick and roll

- Match PP, Posey or TA with Joe Johnson in isolation

- Don't be afraid of transition

- Take the ball to the hole  70/30 over jumpshot
The only color that matters is GREEN
