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

[Amir]

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

We are playing against 2 teams tonight.

[Redz]

they (rondo) are playing like they are afraid they are going to get blocked.

when he drives he needs to get the shot blocker in the air then pass to the open guy down low for an empty dunk.

Smith would sure have me looking over my shoulder, but yeh, they've got to finish in the paint.  It's killing me (never mind them!)

[Andy Jick]

magic johnson kissing the city of atlanta's @ss...unbelievable.  the hawks fans (all 12 of them) come out to the playoffs and suddenly they're the greatest bunch of people on earth.  flat out stupid...

[RebusRankin]

We're missing too many easy shots and fts but the reffing is brutal. No calls on O, Ticky Tack on D and the Hawks get away with everything.

I am beginning to believe that the NBA is trying to script games like the WWE does matches .

It´s late at night here, and I have no beer...I guess I´ll have to compensate it with thoughts about suicide...

Thank god for Celticsblog, at least I can share my frustration.

Shot chart from the first half.  Check out the "X" right under the hoop.  I counted 4 for 12 from in close.

This game looks like a Rucker Park game at times

He went for the Dunk against Smith on the break and then at the end of the half. Got fouled both times.

give me some tony allen and some of his hard athletic drives and finishes to the hoop, maybe he can give them some energy and aggressiveness without being afraid of getting a charge called on them!

It's cause everything's going up soft. They need look for the contact and then finish. Its harder to block a shot with a shoulder in your chest.

[RebusRankin]

Hawks have ten more fta. BS.

Refs would probably call it an offensive foul though.

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!

Exactly, it´s time to welcome the pain, guys.

It's the third quarter, and it's when you lose.
