C's 8 for 11 from deep --- Scal is having the game of his life.  Rondo is dominating. Pierce is hot from the outside.

And the C's are up only 9 points how is that possible???  10 turnovers and poor rebounding is why.

Third quarter is the normal letdown time, the C's have to keep this going tonight. a 9 point lead isn't much for as dominating as the first half appeared to be...

[Chief]

If Crawford stays cold, I like are chances a lot.

Scal was either extremely out of breath or really did not want to talk to Greg -- or both...

[Drucci]

Up 9 when we should be up 20 if the refs were calling the fouls of the Hawks... I'm disgusted.

I don't like the scenario of being on fire from three because we were Friday and went ice cold in the second half. Yet, the Celtics also attack the paint but get no calls so... I can't blame them.

The refs have to do their job on both sides of the or the Hawks will have a good chance of winning this game.

However, considering the Killer Mentality of the C's tonight... well, I don't know, we will see but the refs are p---ing me off.

Brent Barry is hating on Tommy Heinson on NBA TV like some sort of smug ^%&^$. When did Brent Barry become so clever..

What's scal body fat %? dude gets paid big bucks for that body.

[nickagneta]

Celtics with double the amount of personal fouls as Atlanta and less than half the amount of free throws.

Am I watching the same game as the refs? Should there really be that much of a discrepancy??

They're 50% from three too btw. So not that far apart.

10 turnovers now which is hurting the offensive flow as usual

When you go 8 for 11 from three, you really ought to leave the half up double digits.

Why are you hating?

Serious question btw. I think we're doing rather well, and we've got 55 points, so I don't see how offense is being hurt. And yes, we are 8 out of 11. Thought that was a good thing.

I see the point you guys have, but I just wonder why it's always tough love :]

Huh?  First time I've ever been accused of hating.

[Casperian]

Why are you hating?

What do you mean with "Hate"?

Do you think people post in the game thread on Celticsblog and "hate" the team?

Is that Hip-Hop slang?

Seeing how well the C's are playing it's just shocking that they are only up 9 points.  It's unlikely they will stay that hot from the field so it's definitely worrisome to see the Hawks hanging around.  The Hawks are tough and just don't give up.

The dreaded third quarter will be key tonight, hopefully the lead won't disappear...

I dislike Brent Barry

Yeh had to edit the post to correct the question buddy. Sorry about that.

At first it just had that first line.

I was just a bit fired up by the game, and the good things I saw, and then I read your post and was like... hmmm... bah.

When I thought a bit about your post, I had to agree. Still though, they got 50% too...
