Celtics (2-0) at Hawks (0-2) Round 1 Game 3 4/21/23

Put Griffin in, he will at least mix it up and rebound.

Maybe a two big line up to get some rebounds!

Yeah! Two big lineup and double the drop coverage.  My favorite.

Well, if Atlanta was going to take a game, Game 3 was it.

I'd be shocked if they play this well again in the series. I'm still confident C's in 5

[Neurotic Guy]

Games like these we need tatum to take over.

Guy gets his points, but so many times they don't feel impactful if that makes sense

Yeah pretty quiet 28.

[slamtheking]

just a really bad over reliance on 3's yet again tonight.  other than that hot stretch in the first half, we haven't been shooting it well enough to keep shooting them

They are shooting 44% from 3pt. That’s not the reason they are losing this game. It’s the poor defensive effort.

it's the poor defense and the fact that other than that hot stretch in the middle of the first half, they haven't shot the 3 well.  if we shot that percentage throughout the game rather than having one hot stretch to inflate the numbers, it'd be a different story.

Going to be interesting to see how Boston responds. Just gave Atlanta life

I wouldn’t say Atlanta was handed life by Boston.  Hawks shot great. Tough game.  Marcus will miss Game 4.

Disagree.
Atlanta knows they can beat Boston now. Game 4 will be a tough one.

[jpotter33]

What a freaking idiot, Tatum. You didn't need that dang shot.

That was a good look, just didn't go down.

There were 18 seconds left on the shotclock and he has been crap shooting this entire second half. It was a bad shot. We could've got a much better look.

[Silas]

Tough loss.  On to Sunday.

[hpantazo]

I never expected a sweep. The Hawks made some tough shots down the stretch and earned this one.

[celticinorlando]

Disappointed in this team tonight. They thought the series was over and played like it. Hope they can get it together for game 4

[Phantom255x]

At least the B's are up 2-0 now

boston was lazy and sleepwalked all game.

coaching should fix this net game if joe is any good.

hawks are NOT beating us

NOT EVEN WORRIED

[CelticSooner]

You never truly know how this team will react to a game.

[BringToughnessBack]

Their PG and SG dominated ours- that was the game right there.

[bello_man09]

Sure hope this doesn’t turn into 2008 again

taking us to 7 NAH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Makes total sense. He doesn’t seem to have the ability of a giannis, embiid, curry or Durant to impose their will when necessary.
