Celtics (57-14) at Hawks (31-39) Game #72 3/25/24

[SHAQATTACK]

I think Celtics are avoiding contact to not have nick nack injuries occur

[jpotter33]

Terrible start to the half. Look unfocused after the big lead.

[Roy H.]

I'm with Scal.  Subbing in Pritchard to start the second half is an odd choice.

[SCeltic34]

I'd rather have PP come off the bench.  We need his energy and ability to change the tempo of the game off the bench.

Wrist slitting time, what a disgraceful performance since midway through the 2nd quarter…fire them all, starting with Joe 

[jpotter33]

Yeah, I was wondering what the rationale for starting PP was. Why change if what we were doing was working?

[tenn_smoothie]

Trying to tune in, NBA TV tells me "unavailable to you due to regional restrictions (knoxville is 3 hours from atlanta).
OK fine, except I've not run into this restriction for years now.
Also I paid for NBA pass so why can I not watch it there ?

Yeah, it's crap. It feels like they also added NBA TV games to the local blackout restrictions this year to where you can't even watch it on NBA TV if it's considered a local blackout restriction. Have the same issue with Pacers games here, even when on NBA TV.

OK, thanks.

So, this is a new thing this season ?
Even though I am paying for League Pass ?
I guess Martian Face has to do everything he can to force fans to the games or the league might run out of money to pay their players $40+M.

Tatum back to chucking 3s

[jpotter33]

Terrible shot by Tatum. Have to pass that up to the open KP there.

[ozgod]

Can’t hit a 3 to save their lives now

[Roy H.]

Where's the TO?

[Silas]

We miss White.

[SCeltic34]

I hope we lose this game.  We deserve it.

[ozgod]

30 points to 3

clowns 

[jpotter33]

And the threes stop falling and there goes the offense.

And apparently Joe is just going to wait until the lead is gone before calling a timeout again? Idiotic. Just still so dogmatic and ridiculous with these things.
