Hawks (23-13) at Celtics (26-9) 1/11

Big play there --- Rondo leading the break but didn't give the ball up soon enough and the Hawks come back the other way for free throws.

Great objective posts on the flagrant foul by a few of us --- it was obviously a flagrant and one that every Celtic would be screaming for if the situation was reversed...

I TOLD YOU I TOLD YOU I TOLD YOU....This game was made close in that 1st half..........all those NON calls and the clean tie up by Shelden.........NOW we have a game---GRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR.

that was possibly a flagrant by pierce. The celtics are really p---ed, and understandably so. This is one of those games that the refs have forced to get out of hand rather then containing it.

Any bets on who's winning this game? The Hawks? The Celts? Or the Refs?

Any one who thinks the REFS don't still fix these games , for what ever reason, I hope you are watching this hunk of....

Celts won't let the refs cover.  I say C's by 3.5 over the spread.

I'm ****ed off, I have never seen refs so biased in a game, this is utterly ridiculous. They have done their job by letting the Hawks right back in the game when they were going to fold.

If we close this one out big, we'd have beaten both the Hawks AND the Refs on one day.

[jadams5214]

C's are shooting 89% in this quarter and have LOST 6 points off the lead that is almost unbelievable

[Drucci]

Now the Celtics are out of their offensive game...

[Meadowlark_Scal]

23 vto 10 free throws, Atlanta and the refs

[celticsclay]

now we get a palming call! yay!

[Kiorrik]

Looks like the refs have a game of "call the most ridiculous call" going.

.edit: aside from "calling the Perk travel". - even though he's making it easy.

[Redz]

Come on Perk!  Stop doing that

[jadams5214]

And Perk with yet another travel geez...

[MaxwellSmart86]

TURNOVERS.....we also came out with ZERO aggression to start this half....WALKING the ball up the court----for numerous shot clock violations.

[mzepol]

gotta capitalize on every call we get
