Atlanta Hawks (21-19) at Boston Celtics (29-12) Game #42 1/18/25

Feeling OT

[jpotter33]

Brown misses a wide open spot up three. Tatum misses a good midrange look for himself. Frustrating.

But why in the world are we having JB and White who have been awful all game initiating the offense here? That is just atrocious decision-making.

[celticinorlando]

I would rather play through PP to be honest.

[Phantom255x]

I'm gonna lose my mind if they overturn this

[liam]

Wow, we finally get a call, and while White is about to shoot they let the coach challenge...

[Indocelts]

Tatum and JB playing hero ball and costing them this game.

They are the most selfish and egoistic players of the team right now. We won't repeat with them at the driver seat.

[keevsnick]

Brown is now 7 of his last 35 from three.
White is now 8 of his last 50 from three.

Tough for both to struggle at the same time.

[Phantom255x]

Please make these FTS

[Indocelts]

Joe benched PP? Unreal.

[Silas]

Joe took PP out to finish???

[SCeltic34]

I mean if JB is going to go and double, someone needs to be ready to rotate.  C's lucky Hunter missed that.

[jpotter33]

14 of White's 18 shots are threes, and he's only made 3 of them.

Absolutely atrocious individual decision-making and coaching that we continue to let him take these kinds of shots.

See the thing about Derick white is 90% of his offensive value is 3 point shooting. If he isn't hitting the three its not like he can tart driving to the basket, or shoot the mid ranger, he isn't good at those things. The only way he generates his own offense is by shooting pull up threes.

Eh, he can get by his defender and into the lane. A lot of his offense has been just that, especially his nice floater that has seemingly abandoned him.

He just too often settles for those pull up threes because he can and it generally fits into our overall philosophy of playing the number game.

[jpotter33]

For the love of God, if we go for the 2 for 1 just please make it a reasonable look and not just take it for the sake of the 2 for 1 opportunity.

[Redz]

Funny I was going to comment earlier on how Hunter never misses a shot when the Garden crowd is going bananas.  He?s a great silencer, but that was a big miss there.

[Phantom255x]

They are SO LUCKY he missed that shot. Wide open
