Hawks (0-0) at Celtics (0-0) Round 1 Game 1 4/15/23

Can't wait for 4th quarter GINO time

[SparzWizard]

Brown misses that dunk and then gets the and-1 off his offensive rebound. Nice!

[blink]

We need to attack the rim more.  Way too many 3s.

[Phantom255x]

Just hold this the rest of the quarter and we can maybe give some guys rest in the 4th

[slamtheking]

not digging the higher volume of 3 point shots this quarter.  need to go back to attacking the basket

[SparzWizard]

True of that commentator. No series is won in Game 1. The Bucks learned that last year. The Heat learned that last year. The Celtics learned that last year too.

Need to finish them off tonight and then get ready for Game 2. Need to treat as if the Hawks are ready to go and kill on Tuesday.

Not a Joe fan, but gotta say- The Celts answered an 8-0 run by starting to push the ball again and put up their own 8-0 run. Without a timeout😲. Maybe his "figure it out for themselves" is working?

They are shooting 47.6%...not too shabby.

Yeah Game 2s are typically big in a series. Going up 2-0 would be massive, but obviously the team down 1-0 sees it the same way and gets desperate.

Even last year Round 1, after a last-second thriller, the Nets came out on fire Game 2 before the C's rallied back. But it was also close and you sensed a bit of desperation from BKN

[slamtheking]

Jaylen's back to having loose handles this game

[Phantom255x]

Wow it got dead here after halftime lol.

But tbh, the weather's very nice for a Saturday evening. I might go out again soon for a walk/snack trip

[tenn_smoothie]

What could Mazzulla possibly be thinking by having Rob Williams still playing right now ?

[RJ87]

What does Tatum have to do to get a foul call?

[SCeltic34]

Not a good 3rd so far.

[Phantom255x]

That was a stretch which the Hawks are known for, just scoring a bunch of buckets in a row quickly.

C's did fairly well to keep it a 25+ lead and just need another counterrun of their own to end this
