Celtics (33-15) at Hawks (13-37) Game #49 2/3/20

I complain about this every time we play the Hawks at home, but that siren sound they play after every time a Hawks player makes a 3 drives me nuts.  Whoever made the decision for that sound to be played should be locked in a cold, dark room with that sound playing continuously 24/7 for a week.  Maybe they'll re-consider using something else.

Tough game with injuries and what not. I'm happy where they are at the half. If The Hawks keep shooting threes are this rate it will be very hard to win this one.

I'm not too concerned, the Celtics do need to try harder on defense though. They've forced a lot of turnovers to be fair and have defensive rebounded well, but some of the rotations and awareness have been off. Maybe I'm being influenced by the Hawks' shooting.

Bunch of guys who havent really played together a lot. The thing that will really suffer is the defensive rotations. Everybody is trying to adjust to playing D without their usual PGs.

This just seems like one of those games where the lesser team (Hawks) has a great shooting half and looks to have a legit chance of winning. But then the better team (Cs) comes out and plays much harder in the 2nd half and comes away with a double-digit victory.

I wouldn't have said this last year and I am not trying to jinx the Cs, but it will be extremely disappointing to not go home with a W after the way we've been playing lately.

That was an electric move by Jaylen. I loved that!

Also, what a start to the half by the Cs!

That block by Hayward was just cruel

Yeah, Hawks were shooting 54% at one point.

C's on fire this quarter!

Super unselfish from Gordon, almost to a fault
