Where's Scal been?....he was doing a GREAT job defending.........we're gonna lose this by like 8-10 points...WORN OUT.....Thanks to the first half reffing too.

No, it was Doc's pent up frustration throughout the game where we have gotten no calls.

[liam]

Does anyone else realize why Doc was so upset resulting in an ejection.

Besides the bad calls it's the pressure of this game  --- Doc no doubt realizes how big this game is against the upstart Hawks.  He sees how vitally important it is for the C's to gain back an edge on this team.

C's outside shots not dropping anymore but they keep taking them instead of going inside...

Coaches get thrown out when there teams are getting hosed. That was a very bad call again!

[houseonfire09]

Can we get Scal back on Josh Smith?

Celtics desperately need to hang on here for the win.  As far as regular season games go this is right up there in importance.  Can't afford to lose again to this team.

Ray has ZERO chance against Johnson still true as it was in the first quarter...

[Who]

Joe Johnson is smooth

[Fafnir]

The Celtics have either lost their focus or are tired since that flagrant foul but the Hawks are just in a great position to win the game. I want to puke.

Kiorrik > indeed, good call after I've seen the replay.

The Hawks are a quality team and we're missing our two best PFs and our backup SF.

I don't care if its close, just win it!

[MaxwellSmart86]

Tied game....you gotta be kidding me...what a JOKE

He was right on him. Great players hit great shots.

[Chief]

Does Thibs realize ther are guys on the bench?

this is an important game for the Celtics.

You can't play old guys for an entire half. Especially on a back to back. Right now, what you are seeing, are tired legs.

So you want to to see House playing Point, or Tony shooting 3's. Our Bench right now is nonexistent.

Yes. It should have been done at the end of the 3rd. Just a few minutes. It would have been a 10 minute rest.

[Kiorrik]

That could have just as easily been a flagrant on Ray tbh :p

[jadams5214]

C's with 18 turnovers.
C's 3 point shot has disappeared in the second half.
C's can't defend Joe Johnson.
C's offense has gone south in the second half after a great first half.

Can't blame ANY of that on the refs...

[mzepol]

JJ is just too big for Ray.

[nickagneta]

Baby bringing the bulk.

Why don't you _ever_ point out the good stuff m8? I've yet to hear you say "that was a nice play!" or "we're shooting really well!" etc.

Just wondering.
