Hawks (16-10) at Celtics (20-4) 12/16

[snively]

This Celtics team is unbelievably great. They have almost no team left... they've got Nate making crazily stupid plays... Ray throwing the ball away at almost every opportunity... a bunch of rookies playing half the time...... and they end the half with a lead. Wow. Kudos to these guys. Really... amazing.

It's crazy that this isn't even the first time Nate has done that backcourt save to the other team this year.

hawks are missing their 2 best players and doing what they want tonight...boston needs to pick it up

Celts have 5 guys out of their 10 man rotation out injured. Give it a rest, man.

come on man...everyone has injuries. Cs still have enough talent to win games

i highly disagree that ATL has any advantage tonight

How many teams start a 4th string center. LAY OFF

Hawks started Jason Collins at center tonight. Boston has enough to win tonight. And their increased effort at the end of the half shows that

Seriously. You are being ridiculous. C's have no bench

get over yourself. please

I think we are going to put this team away in the third. We played without any rhythm and many mistakes, and are still up at the half.

The Hawks not named Jeff Teague have been atrocious tonight.  Smith and Horford have been close to invisible.  And we embarrassed them last time.  They don't seem up for us at all - they seem like they expect to lose no matter who's in green.

you guys should just let this go, both teams are missing guys, let's just leave it at that. It's a good game so far.

Jason Collins would be one of the centers in the NBA who is worse than Semih Erden in both rebounding percentage and PER.

Really, snively? I don't remember any such play. But I missed some of the early games.... but... I mean... HOW COULD HE DO IT TWICE??? It's.... **** INSANE!

He's making Tony Allen look like a smart ballplayer

I try to be reasonable when the team for which I cheer is missing half its players, has no center and no point guard. That's all.

He had one a couple weeks ago (forget the opponent: anyone else remember?) where he dove for it and rolled out of bounds before he could get the timeout.  Which is funny because it would have just burned a timeout to secure a possession we already had.
