Hawks (6-2) at Celtics (8-1) 11/13

[Tai]

I'm watching ESPN's replay, which is still in the 1st quarter. I'm seeing we're passing the ball just fine, and we're getting easy shots all around the hoop. How could we lose playing like that?

Meanwhile, the Hawks had to hoist up jumpshots after realizing they couldn't penetrate our defense, and lo and behold, they went in! Score's 16-10 and Hawks called a timeout. But basically....if I was seeing this game live, I couldn't imagine we'd end up losing.

Yeah ... watching Comcast and it's almost halftime, but my impressions are the same ... except for the horrible rebounding, can't believe they lost ... playing really well for most of the 2nd qtr.

[Bahku]

A lot of no-calls by the refs, too ... can't believe this young Hawks team gets so much respect from officials.

ESPN already in the 3rd now, Comcast hasn't started the second half.

[Tai]

Yeah. And I see Paul Pierce just drove to the hoop for an A1 Sauce, as I like to call it.  So, the Celtics are up by 5 at that point.

Again...I'm waiting to see how we blew this.

[Tai]

I don't like how we blew that 7 points lead to tie it at 48, but then so far we go on a 6-0 run so far to go up 54-48. And, it looks like we're getting more easy shots, especially transition. I also liked how when KG missed that layup, Perkins went up for it and put it back in.

Still not seeing how we lost this game....If we play like how we've been playing up to this point against the Pacers, we're fine.

[Bahku]

So many fouls the Hawks got away with ... I know that's a typical fall-back excuse, but it's really blatantly obvious in this one.

[Bahku]

Wow ... Johnson's got some great moves and can really shoot ... Hawks are so athletic. 

[Bahku]

Marquis and Sheldon very effective against this young Hawks team ... kinda shows a bit of the problem, and why Atlanta is getting so many second-chance points and rebounds.

[Bahku]

What happened to Comcast? They always show the whole game, (not an abbreviated version), but they just blew off most of the 3rd quarter.

[Tai]

Paul Pierce mis-timed how he did that move, and got screwed. : \

Again, letting the Hawks get another offensive rebound cost us, and the Hawks are up 78-72. Jeez!

And now a moving screen on Rasheed. Ugh!

Huh?? Now they're showing the 2nd half of the 3rd again! Bizarre.

[Bahku]

I saw people dissing Pierce for this game, but he is one of the few who showed up for this one ... I think he's playing very well.

[Bahku]

Hawks are very under-rated ... so athletic and can shoot like crazy ... too bad they're so arrogant.

[Tai]

Ok, as far as I'm concerned, we need to prevent teams from scoring 2nd chance points on us. Oh, and we need to get that rust/wear off when it comes to 3-point shooting. We had a lot of open shots, but made only one 3.
