[jadams5214]

Turnover, turnover, turnover --- 18 Celtics turnovers already leading to 19 Hawks points.

Can't blame that on the REFS can we?

Jeez last three trips have been awful. I admit when we play bad.

[mzepol]

Perk is stinking it up.

[Chief]

Does Thibs realize ther are guys on the bench?

Hope everyone with DVR goes back and watches this game again to get the proper perspective.

Have the C's gotten robbed on a few calls tonight?  Absolutely but that happens in the NBA.  

The biggest call of the game was CLEARLY a flagrant foul on Big Baby.  Doc overreacting then Armond Hill is no ones fault but theirs.  

Great teams overcome bad calls.  The C's have played with so much determination tonight it would be a shame to lose this one.  The Hawks cannot be allowed to gain even more of an edge on the C's they simply have to step up and win tonight...

I don't have to re-watch that play. It was no more a Flagrant One than Pachulia's was. Both calls were awful calls. Except that Atlanta got called with the Flagrant and then went on to get every other questionable call thereafter in just about the entire game and THAT'S why Doc got thrown out.

There were some (say 3 or so) pretty awful no-calls in those turnovers. But yeh well.

[Drucci]

And no call on Baby!!!

[Who]

Horford needs to give up that dribble earlier. He's developing some bad habits dribbling off of defensive rebounds.

[MaxwellSmart86]

You know why i HATE Joe Johnson?....cause he wont hit these shots against Clev or Orlando--!....jackass.

bring back the "taketh one" button!

He's got a few solid points actually.

We're stinking it up a bit right now, even though the momentum was really killed there on that flagrant.

No denying the Hawks took the momentum good point.  I think people got so caught up in the refs that they forgot the flagrant foul sequence and resulting technicals was called correctly.

Tom T should have made some subs earlier this quarter, atleast rest PP and Ray for a few minutes.

Hope them tiring out doesnt cost us this game.

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....

Never attribute to malice what can be easily explained by incompetence.  But the refs are godawful tonight.  This feels like either a playoff game or the beginnings of a riot.  Maybe both  

This looks like malice. Incompetence should go two ways.

Can't try to go inside when the refs won't send you to the line.
