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

[thestackshow]

Hawks showing their true colors, they are a mediocre team, not a lights out, #1 team in the NBA like their first quarter showed.

We. Shall. Survive.

[jdz101]

Get this under 6 and we have a serious ballgame here.

[Who]

There we go, nice shot Bass! Eight point game. Well within reach.

[bfrombleacher]

Rondo is single handedly bringing us back into the game.

As funny as this game is, the Celtics still have a real shot at winning it. And let's be honest, we hardly ever sweep any team. This is typical run of the mill for us. Even the last time we made the finals, back in 2010, we had some games where we were just absolutely atrocious or were stomped. We were stomped by Cleveland, for example, we got trounced by LA in some games as well. And I think after going up 3-0 on Orlando, we had one embarrassing loss. This is par for the course.

We still have a real shot at this one. KG and Pierce won't always have nights like what they are having now. Thank god for Rondo and everybody else that has contributed so far to give us a real shot at this game.

[slamtheking]

finally single digits.  hoping that bucket gives Bass the cajones to start taking his usual shots that are about as automatic as it gets.

[snively]

Bizarro world where Jason Collins and Kirk Hinrich are the Hawks' offensive saviors and Rondo is the C's only marksman.

Ok, time to make it a 5 point game. Defense and ball movement are keys to break Atlanta's confidence. So far everything went their way, but they really aren't hawks, they're more like pidgeons.

Go Celtics! D-fense!

[Neurotic Guy]

Progress is painfully slow. 

[hpantazo]

I hate Dooling

[Meadowlark_Scal]

Yup...we can do it...Go team..!

[mainevent]

Any more Atlanta runs and this game is a wrap. We need to put the pressure on RIGHT NOW!

[Redz]

Still need to see PP hit something. 

[Who]

Joe Johnson has been very quiet since his strong start.

[Chief]

Rondo has 9 assists.
