Celtics (0-0) at Hawks (0-0) Game 1 4/29

taking a page out of Lombardi's book, "what the hell is goin on out here?!"...

[Andrew Celtic Nation]

I hate how KG still gets psyched out in big games at THIS point in his career.

Brandon Bass is awful. They better not resign this guy. Signing a guy like that long term is how you lock a franchise into mediocrity.

Ditto.. he is confirming why he has been a journey-man in the NBA so far. No starter material.

[aporel#18]

ok, enough of this faker ball. Time to play Celtic Ball. Regroup and start playing D.

Let's go Celtics!

[Who]

They're struggling but they'll come back from this.

Atlanta isn't good enough offensively to maintain this for the rest of the game. There will be plenty of opportunities for Boston to make a run.

He's definitely a frustrating player to watch...no one on one skills, gets more wide open jumpers than anyone on the team so when he doesnt hit them, its even more maddening.

[Chief]

I thought Doc took Bradley out too early. He was just starting to get into a groove.

[nickagneta]

I understand being a bit miffed at our play but come on guys, we don't have to take pot shots at our own guys with insults towards Kg and Bass.

[guava_wrench]

First game on road when we are far from a great team - not surprising to see this start. Atl energy will wane and we will come back.

Starts with the D

Exactly what I was thinking, what is this? His 100th playoff game?

[ACF]

Just first 9 minutes of the game...this is FAR from over.

A to the men!

[RJ87]

Basically, I think this shows how important Ray Allen is. Although the game is far from over. Ray Allen plays heinrich, for example perfectly. And stretches the floor in a way that thus far has not been there for the Celtics in this game.

Disagree wholeheartedly. If KG makes a few of those WIDE open jumpers, this is a closer game

[JoT]

They should be disappointed with themselves for coming out the way they have and letting the Hawks get this big of a lead. This is the playoffs where every possesion counts not a meaningless game.
Play some defense and stop letting player stay open.

[Redz]

o-fer KG
