scalabrine defense would help right now....thats real..

[Celtic]

Not playing well at all right now, C's look flat, need to get going and step on these guys, rob them of their hopes and dreams.

[RebusRankin]

Perk gets fouled underneath, no call. Pierce gets hit on the drive, no foul. NBA reffing, its horrendous.

[Celtic]

Yeah, real funny. I think House is the guy they need of the bench to come in and spark a streak.

[BASSTHUMPER]

we are strugglin now....what about against the next team we face.?..we are still improving like doc said...we are not there yet...much heart...plenty of talent..but....?

[Who]

Watchout

Stop this. This isn't good. Don't let Al Horford get going. He's the only Hawk that can score consistently in the halfcourt. He gets hot going into the fourth quarter and you have a big problem on your hands. You can't stop him and shut down Marvin, Josh and Joe at the same time. Someone will get open.

Stop Al Horford. I don't like seeing him get amped up like this. He is dangerous.

[RebusRankin]

she aint all bad.....she mentioned walker and pierce together back in the day.....

She still sucks. She's a WNBA announcer for goodness sake.

C's need to pick it up.

we need d...not brick 3's....

[Celtic]

C's aren't playing their trademark D right now, and are letting the Hawks swarm them and out "heart" them. They need to calm down, play D and execute offensively, there's still plenty of time. This, by the way is my most evil post my 666th, so I need to post again real quick to stay good.

[Who]

I want to see Eddie House. All season long this is the time Eddie hits a big three pointer and calms everyone down. The C's need a shot maker, someone who can space the floor.

[RebusRankin]

Have to give the Hawks some credit, they are playing better tonight.

Scal is hardly a defensive stopper, if KG and Perk are getting abused, how is Scal going to fare? House, even when not hitting his shots at least comes in and makes other teams run, and if Atlanta has to run back quick on D they aren't going to be so potent on the offensive end.

[Bahku]

Missed all of the 2nd and some of the end of the first. Violet had a bad call or two at that point but was the rest of the half as bad as you guys are making it? If so, the fact that the game is tied right now is a testament to just how good this team is.

BTW series is over. Hawks had to destroy the C's in the first half to have any chance of making this a 5 game series.

Sorry, but this is why I never say things like this ... never count a team out until it's over, man ... you're just tempting fate.

so all of a sudden u expect eddie to come in and jus start lightin it up with very small minutes during this 1st round....
if they let him in and he just start hittin 3's i give him much props...i like eddie but he aint been gettin miuntes..he cold

I see scal in streets....kool...!

[Roy Hobbs]

This shot clock junk is total crap.  The Celts just (predictably) got screwed on a supposed violation.
