Celtics (52-22) at Hawks (43-32) 4/1

[outcry]

Yea, Rondo is definitely back. Keep it going into the playoffs.

Another three-shot first half for Ray Allen

smh

That's puzzling to me, but I guess they're working better match ups?

[GreenFaith1819]

Nice shot by Rondo there...those can only help his confidence from out there.

Just a nice game so far for our C's! Glen playing well vs Horford.

(no more threes, Glen )

Nice play from the bench, too.

[Marcus13]

We eally are great against jump shooting teams.

It's the ones that attack the basket who give us problems

[Cman]

wow... Rondo has a jumper? 

where'd he pick that up?

[bruinsandceltics]

I am loving JO.

I said it when we made the trade if he could come back and give us minutes in the playoffs, he could be similar to what Perk was in 08. Just need to keep him healthy.

[LilRip]

is this the SWITCH?!? :O looks like C's don't want to drop to the #3 seed.

...or they just want to beat the Spurs and Hawks because they're playoff teams and will sleep once we face someone like the Bobcats or Wizards something

[Cman]

Nice shot by Rondo there...those can only help his confidence from out there.

But more than that it means the other team won't cheat off him, opening things up for the other Cs.

[OsirusCeltics]

All the Hawks bigs are punks.

Did you see after JO got in his face, Pachulia get silent and walk away with his head down. I love the toughness from JO

Yeah, Atlanta has always given Ray problems.  The infamous 08 playoffs for example.

However, it's been happening far too often...tonight is just another showing

Way waay too early to say, but I do like the intensity and play so far (over the past 6 qtrs, as Roy pointed out).

As someone mentioned in another post, hopefully this is Ray going through his slump *prior* (instead of during) the playoffs.

[ejk3489]

Wait the Celtics only have 4 turnovers going into the half? They're also shooting 55%. Not bad at all.

Keep it going *through* the playoffs.

cant watch the game, so please explain what is so "tough" about jo? his stat line is unimpressive, so i am happy he is doing good things...but what exactly is he doing?

thanks.
