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

[radiohead]

Excellent start to the half! The D has tightened up a bit.

[Phantom255x]

Forget everything that's happened the first 28 minutes of this game.

It's a tie game now. Just outplay them the final 20 minutes

[slamtheking]

C's have definitely come out this half putting some effort into their D.  achieving much better results.

OK - Marcus Smart great, great start to the 2nd half.

Smart is having a great game!

[Goldstar88]

Surprised they aren’t looking to Rob inside. That was working really well in the first two games.

[Silas]

Smart....15pts, 6 assists, 0 turnovers and 4/6 from 3.  Not too shabby.

[Phantom255x]

I highly doubt the Hawks are going to play better than they have tonight, and we're tied on the road

[Neurotic Guy]

OK - Marcus Smart great, great start to the 2nd half.

Smart is having a great game!

LOVE him passing up the 3 in favor of White.

yet another garbage call against the C's tonight.  C's not getting an even whistle tonight

Capela is just eating Al for lunch on these boards. He's going to have to do something. Giving up way too many second chances.

And we're regularly way overhleping and too far off the primary defender.

[Phantom255x]

And here come the refs again…

[Phantom255x]

Just doesn’t feel like our night

C's bigs being forced to cover for the Atlanta guards driving right by our guards.  need better help for Al's man on D

[Yuckabuck33]

And, as predicted, the defense tightened up and the whistles start.

[Celtic Fan Forever]

Al looks horrible
