Hawks (4-7) at Celtics (9-2) Game #12 11/12/24

[Goldstar88]

This is a good game to rest Tatum and Horford at the start of a back-to-back.

Starting unit: Pritchard - White - Holiday - Brown - Queta
Bench rotation: Hauser - Walsh - Kornet

Tatum is 26 years old. I don?t think he wants or needs the night off. JB, perhaps. He is still dealing with a hip injury. 

No reason to rest JB. He was already good-to-go against the Bucks and Joe did not mention any restrictions before that game. He is rounding into form and if JT rests, this is a perfect game for him to dominate.

Well, if there is no reason to rest Brown who is coming off an injury, there is certainly no need to rest a healthy Tatum.

whos out tonight

[jpotter33]

Let's go C's! I'm surprised they're having Al play tonight and not tomorrow night against Brooklyn, who is likely to put up more of a fight.

[Neurotic Guy]

So I?ll make my one negative in-season tournament comment for the night and then let it go.  I see no entertainment value in it.  I?ll end up, like last year, hoping that the Celtics won?t get to Vegas where they?ll have to play extra, have an additional cross country flight, and risk injury.  I don?t see a redeeming quality to the tournament.

Man, that court is hard on the eyes. Struggling to adjust to it. Feels like they're not really playing on a hard floor.

Why is the camera zoomed so far in?

[jpotter33]

Poor effort on the boards.

[celticinorlando]

What a weak call

[jpotter33]

Man, JT has to hit that open baseline three there. That was beautiful, perfect ball movement.

Then jacks up another early three. His shot selection can still be super frustrating this year.

I wonder if it has the same effect on the players. It?s like watching a cartoon.

The slow starts really need to be addressed

The slow starts really need to be addressed

its getting annoying

[celticinorlando]

Hawks have 10 rebounds already. Cs effort is butt cheeks

[jpotter33]

Beautiful ball movement.

When we move the ball like that to get our open threes, I'm fine with however many we take. Just limit the pull up, iso threes.

Defense and rebounding lacking
