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

[Neurotic Guy]

That corner 3 after swarming the lane was big.

[slamtheking]

need Smart to quit jacking 3's.  don't care that he's hit some today - just don't want him jacking them so quick in the shot clock

When he hits early, often costs Cs late.  Might not be true, but feels that way.  That was a ‘Marcus, please no’ shot.

it always feels that way, it's not just you

[slamtheking]

now a Smart drive into the lane for a shot I'm perfectly fine with

[jpotter33]

Why Tatum why?! Stop that junk!

[Phantom255x]

We constantly cut it to around 2-3 points then give up a bucket or make a dumb play 

[Phantom255x]

BIG AL DID SOMETHING!

[Silas]

OK, Smart needs to stop jacking 3s.

[Neurotic Guy]

Another terrible choice by Smart after a great choice/drive.

[Boston Garden Leprechaun]

GO TO THE DANG HOOP LIKE ATL IS DOIMG

QUIT FORCING THREES

[slamtheking]

Joe is definitely not the defensive-minded coach Ime was.  this drop coverage defense has stunk all season

[jpotter33]

Just keep jacking, guys! Definitely what we want. Can't guard us when we get to the paint, but let's shoot early threes instead. Idiots.

[angryguy77]

This team when it's lazy is infuriating to watch

[celticinorlando]

Celtics in some trouble in this series. Defense is gone and Atlanta has all the momentum in the series

This is going 6 or 7 games

 

Good grief. Can we at least see Atlanta win one game and be actually competitive in a game before saying this will be a tough series?

Look pretty tough tonight

[Phantom255x]

Feels like the next run will win the game. Hope it's from the C's

Yeah, we've tied it up, but it feels like if we can just get over that hump and take the lead we'll finish the rest of the way strong to win.

Need to get Tatum back in there. He needs to play the rest of the half.

Unfortunately ATL went on that run 

[Billz401]

This is the softest defense ive watched all year..
