Hawks (1-3) at Celtics (3-1) Round 1 Game #5 4/25/23

[jpotter33]

They are letting Young drive ar will. What are they doing

That and the drop coverage on Collins. Feels like that’s like 20 points given up tonight that could have been avoided.

Joe has employed the extreme drop coverage at multiple points in the year, and it's been stupid every time.

[Who]

They’re giving Trae the full Steph curry treatment, trapping him every time to no avail

Joe hasn't figured out a defensive scheme to even make it difficult for Trae yet

It's bizarre for such a good defensive team to look this lost.

Pretty much the same for every other strong defensive team in the league this season.

The offenses around the league are booming.

[ozgod]

12 more minutes for us to cling to our lead against a rampant Hawks team with Lil Trae just waiting to dissect us

[letsgoblue86]

Well, 10 point lead is better than 8.

[celticinorlando]

Time for the knock out punch

[slamtheking]

Well, 10 point lead is better than 8.

as long as they also lead at the end of the last quarter, I'll find a way to cope with the stress and aggravation they've caused me so far tonight

[celts55]

Up by 10 going into the fourth, and yet, still an incredibly frustrating team.

[ozgod]

We’re not having issues scoring as long as we drive the ball…just need some stops, try and get the ball out of Lil Trae’s hands and we should be good

I don’t get it. I didn’t get it last summer vs Curry in the finals. I don’t get it at any point tbh with this roster.

Are you talking about last years team? Cause this years team never put it together defensively

We were a top 5 defense this year.

That’s an embarrassment to the league then. Granted I don’t watch a ton of non Celtic regular season games but from my eye our defense wasn’t good this year and nowhere near last season

[radiohead]

One more quarter guys. Let’s finish this strong.

[slamtheking]

we're just a defensive sieve tonight

[celticinorlando]

Just aren’t going to play any defense tonight are they?

[ozgod]

High risk pass from Smartacus but it comes off on this occasion with the and one for JB

[Indocelts]

Brown's doing all the work.
