First Round Game 4 Boston Celtics @ Atlanta Hawks 4/28/08 (8:00 PM TNT, CSN)

Overall, I haven't had too big of a problem with Doc's coaching ways.

But it's official, he needs to bring Eddie House back into this rotation.  Does he not want a dynamite 3pt shooter on the floor?

These "REFS" are ridiculous. I officially hate the Hawks, bunch of punks.

We are playing against 2 teams tonight.

Got that right, Amir! TP All we have to do is play our game .... their arrogance will take care of itself. Stay cool, and run it down their gullet! Go C's!

Bahku with the cool head as always.  I'm with ya, buddy.  If the fellas go out and just play Celtics basketball for 24 good minutes here, business will be taken care of.

Atlanta have played very well

The Celtics not so well. But they've weathered the storm nicely. Just play with some composure. Ray Allen especially, he's passing up a lot of scoring opportunites on the drive. I'd like to see more from him. KG needs to into the post and make it his. Al Horford and Josh Smith are beating them in the paint, control the paint, control the game. KG has to step it up. They're getting a lot of confidence from Al and Josh.

Josh Smith has had an excellent half. 5 blocks and how many others did he intimidate? The Hawks are playing well. Kinda proud of them, nice to see the youngsters play hard.

I'd like to see the Celtics run against the Hawks in the second half

[Bahku]

Thank goodness they don't fine us for obscene gestures ... I'd be broke by halftime! C'mon, C's .... run, attack, defense, and play your game, not theirs! Go Celtics!!

mike fratello just said "the celtics came out at the beginning of this game like gang busters..." 

[Steve Weinman]

Man, Eddie House needs to be play more in this game....... Sam is showing his age........

Hawks are a bunch of hackers...... I swear the refs are from Atlanta

Not to defy the karma lords or jinx our boys...but in the event that we are able to prevail against the Hawks in this series, the bolded phrase above sounds like nothing more than perfect practice for a possible match-up with the LeBrons in the second round.

But there's a long way to go until then...so no need to get too far ahead of myself.  Just seemed worth noting.

See ya Marvin!

Excellent point by Gorman, "Don't you want the hawks to have to play a litttle D?" No more threes.

[BASSTHUMPER]

the Truth shall set you free...!!!

[Celtic]

The lead. That's the last time the Hawks will see it.

[Kwhit10]

Giving up way too many offensive re's.

[MattyIce]
