Celtics (29-14) at Hawks (29-14) 1/29

Hawks PA: "Is it a rivalry now?!!"

Ugh, kill me.

[MattG12]

That's it for me. I've been positive all year long until now. This team isn't gonna get it done. Time to make a move.

Hawks announcers can go die in a hole.

Few positives tonight --- The captain, Garnett looked better, though he still can't jump and rebound, Tony's D was pretty good, and Perk looked good when he was in there. The bad -- everything else.

Positives tonight:

KG looked great on defense and his knee looked stronger on the second night of a back to back.

Pierce showed he still has nights like this in him.

We were actually able to stay in this game, despite our pitiful guard play.

Hawks were not on a back to back and we were.

Our starters outplayed their starters.

Where is Rajon Rondo? $55 mil and 2 straight no shows. Edited.  Profanity and masked profanity are against forum rules and may result in discipline. Rondo

well doc said these 3 games were a measuring stick....and it looks like boston is prolly several spots below the elite teams right now...i dont feel too confident about sunday either.

young vrs old..

sad but true

[Drucci]

Seriously, from seeing the last shots Johnson hit, I don't think we can do anything about him. The guy is perfectly defended one on one and he hits shot after shot in the 4th while he normally chokes against every other team. Disgusting.

And yet we would kick this team's butt in the playoffs... they are playing on on one on every possession and yet it translates to success this season. Can't understand that.

[Kiorrik]

Rondo. Our motor. Our failing motor.

Good night.

[jadams5214]

Outscored by 8 in the 4th quarter...
Collapsing down the stretch...
NO semblance of good offense in the 4th quarter...
Going away from the inside play that got the C's back in the game...
Nothing from Rondo at ALL...
No chance to guard Johnson or Crawford...

Leads to yet another deflating loss and another chapter in the decline of this once dominant Celtic team.

Maybe having a day off before facing a road weary Laker team will be the spark this Celtic team needs?

They better find something soon before this season slips away...

[tomatolander]

Rondo's not playing good ball right now.
Passing up shots after shots within 5-10 feet

Where is Rajon Rondo? $55 mil and 2 straight no shows. **** Rondo

I wouldn't go that far...ATL and ORL are 2 teams that know how to play him and have shot blockers down low...LA does the same thing. It's interesting how it is three games in a row that he sees the defenses he hates, and it is also our fellow contenders.

[FreeGreen]

just like the old days -- Pierce is a stud and he has no help.

Man I wish they'd kept Powe ... he'd be coming back soon and we could desperately use his rebounding.
