[Lord of Mikawa]

We can't buy a 3.

Steve Kerr is saying a lot of silly things tonight. Normally a very good commentator.

LOL @ overreacting. We are a jump shooting team who happens to miss jumpers tonight. We need to win one game in Atlanta, this is only game 1

Last time I checked this was the thread for game 1, not round 1 overall.

3 team fouls.

[Redz]

we need you Cap'n

[Meadowlark_Scal]

Dern that would have been a BIG bang for steam..!

Pierce has been awful all game. Wow.

[Senninsage]

You know, we are down 12. We can still possibly win this one, as unlikely as it may be.

I don't care what anyone says, though. Ray is known for shooting us back into games, or keeping us from falling too far behind in a game. Or just helping to calm things down for us. We could sure as hell use him tonight.

He also serves as a fantastic tool to keep defenders honest in ways that, as good as Bradley has been, he can't do. The Hawks don't respect Bradley as much as they do Ray, and it shows. For example, I find it very hard for Heinrich to knock down some of the threes against Ray that he has knocked down on Bradley, simply because Ray is just a bigger guy. No more, no less.

Man Paul Pierce sucks tonight. My all-time favorite player but i'm starting to see why he might retire.

[GreenFaith1819]

C'mon, C's!

Within striking distance!

Holy crap it IS 12 :O Feels like 30

[Chief]

Nobody running with Rondo.

Hawks going into 2/3 zone every few possessions. Really give a team not hitting jumpers trouble.

[mctyson]

why can we make one three?

[RajonRondOWNED]

When you are losing all game long you can't afford to miss tips and layups. Not to mention going 0-9 from three.

[hpantazo]

why can we make one three?

the curse of Ray Allen
