Sure hope this doesn’t turn into 2008 again

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

Said that in 2008 also. Then all of the sudden it was 3-3

Brown had no confidence to drive to the basket when we got the steal passed it to the corner for 3 l!! the first half was ridiculous if hawks played any defense, they would have blown us out.

Disgusting, we will never win a title with Joe Mazzulla.

Wouldn’t surprise me if this turns into a long series now, probably would’ve been better off not chanting “overrated” to trae young eh

thats the only question I have about this team, not the talent on the Roster.

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.

Yes, prior to tonight Atlanta thought they could never win a game v. the Celtics.  And now they have there sites on the Sixers in round 2.

49-28 rebound differential and a lackadaisical defense effort, which  gave up 130 points in a playoff game = ballgame.

this team still lacks maturity.

Maybe, but in order for this to be a 5 game series, as many thought it would, the Hawks have to win a game. And that game was going to have to be game 3 or 4.

Yeah the rebounding is troubling. Not a good sign.

[terra haute]

Terrible, terrible shot, Tatum.

God, I hate when we hit so many threes. We just play awful, lazy basketball when we do

If he wouldve followed his shot instead of admiring it drifting back the rebound came right to him for at least 2

There was a lot of "hero defense" tonight,  aka pointless shot block and double team attempts that look like effort plays but put our guys out of position and gave Atlanta easy offensive rebounds. Just a lack of composure and cohesiveness.

LOL...yeah, God forbid this season turns into 2008 !

Am I missing something? Most people predicted a gentleman’s sweep (C’s in 5). That would also mean we lose one 

Obviously a frustrating game and loss but really? People are acting like we just got eliminated lol

I’ll be concerned if they lose Sunday, yes, but I’m still very confident. That was Atlanta’s best. I doubt they do it again
