So they throw Posey to the ground and they call a 3 second on him?

"Take this down," said O'Neal. "My name is Shaquille O'Neal and Paul Pierce is the (expletive) truth. Quote me on that and don't take nothing out. I knew he could play, but I didn't know he could play like this. Paul Pierce is the truth."

They've defended Joe Johnson really well on those screen and rolls tonight

Is there some kind of closet league ruling about pity fouls for outclassed teams to keep them in contention?

Sam's clan strip, KG's play for the ball. Multiple phantom
blocking calls on pp. yikes.

Wheels come off as soon as Sam comes in.

Quick hook, Glenn. Quick hook.

Yeah, it was all Sam's fault.  It was Sam's fault that Posey got taken to the ground and then they call 3 seconds on him (Sam hit a 3 pointer in this possession that didn't count).  Then he gets all ball while helping on defense, and they call a shooting foul on him.  All his fault.

his Horford love was stretching it last week.

Enough. Suit up for the Hawks, Fat Boy, and try to guard Pierce.

I think KG should pick Mike Bibby up, throw him to the floor in the lane and sit on him. Maybe we'll get the 3 second call. You know if the roles were reversed the Celtics are getting called for that 3 second violation.

Posey is not the answer to Johnson either, as I said after the last game; Johson hit a couple on him earlier in the game.  Team defense is the key, let's not go away from it.

Doc has pulled all the right strings tonight. The guys were ready, the subs produced when put in. The combos on the floor worked well together and he even called a couple of timely TOs.

Still, this soon to be win is all on the players. They brought the noise tonight that hadn't been heard in Atlanta.

Great bench production and minutes from Powe, Posey, Sam, and even a little Brown and Baby.

Tony Allen needs to remain on the bench. I think tonight proved it's actually possible to stop Joe Johnson without bringing in the soon to be ex-Celtic, Tony Allen.

He's beaten Posey off the dribble quite a few times tonight but on the other occassions Posey's size and length seemed to limit Joe's passing.

Hahaha Horford all shook up on the floor like he got shot.  Take it like a man, it's payback, you deserve it.

What a shame Horford got raked in the face

Like others have said is there a no blood no foul rule for the Celtics to get some calls????
