Celtics (7-7) at Hawks (6-9) Game #15 11/17/21

[SCeltic34]

Al has to be more selfish and take more shots.  Not pass it to Smart in a clogged paint.

I hate these Euro fouls. Thats about the 4th fast break stopped because of a take foul. It hurts the watch ability of the game.

I've locked in on Trae Young this game. He's a great offensive player and an equally terrible defensive player. He gives up on screens, gives ground, does not move his feet well, etc. I'd be going at him on every possession, I don't care who he's "guarding".

looked like Smart was pushed on that shot

[SCeltic34]

Well that went to crap quickly.

[Silas]

Al is not Rob.  Stop the lobs to him he can’t finish. 

[celts55]

It’s really not fair. They have players that can actually shoot

[keevsnick]

It seems like every time the c's make a push Atlanta goes on a run. Still, this game is closer than it deserves to be and if the c's can buckle down on D they have a shot. Last game of a road trip, no Brown or Williams. This would be a good win.

Also Tatum is finally having a great scoring game. 24 on 9-17. Good to see.

He was... that's what the refs typically call late fouls on. I know Kevin Huerter is not a great defender, but the C's are letting them off the hook every time they don't make Young defend.

[slamtheking]

that was just a horrible TO.  no reason to get picked like that in the open court

[SCeltic34]

What an awful call.  That's good D by Tatum.

[keevsnick]

Ya Tatum has his hand of his back, they are gonna call that every time.

[Goldstar88]

Must be nice having multiple players that can hit 3’s. Sigh...

[Silas]

They have shooters we don’t. 

[blink]

Hard to stay in the game when your starting guards are 0-5 from 3
and the other team’s starting guards are 9-17 from 3.
