Hawks (1-1) at Celtics (1-1) Game 3 5/4

[CelticSooner]

The Hawks really showing the advantage of so many consecutive trips to the postseason.  Very cool, calm and collected even undermanned.

Hawks are much better when they aren't jacking up ridiculous shots. This series is far from over.

[Chief]

Rondo 17 pts, 12 assists, and 14 rebounds.

Phrases I hate:

"Deserve to lose"

"Xxx is killing us"

"Trade..."

"Pathetic"

I think my time in these threads is done. The negative, scapegoating, biased, conform to preconcieved notions, whiny, feeling like your owed something vibes and rhetoric has turned me off.

Go Celtics!

The most irritating to me. Like they actually play for the team and thinking the Celtics players base their whole life on making you happy. It boggles my mind

TP for this

When they put full effort into doing their jobs it makes me happy and when they don't I think it's pathetic.

[celticslove]

[Adelaide Celt]

Well the win is all that matters

Hope Avery Bradley is OK

Rondo 17 pts, 12 assists, and 14 rebounds.

This is another one of those "Rondo had a triple-double, but did he have a great game?" nights.

He has a lot of junk in his game, but it works.  A lot like Pierce.

I expect Ray to be out Game 4, probably going to be sore after tonight.

Any update on Bradley? Deemed a sore right shoulder so far.

This is another one of those "Rondo had a triple-double, but did he have a great game?" nights.

Awesome question.

His defense was god awful.

His rebounding was excellent.

His decision making was poor.

His passing was great.

His shooting was really bad.

His ability to create turnovers was very good.

Overall stats say triple double is great.

Overall effect on the game is he gave up as much as he contributed.

Did not play well at all offensively until the OT. Absolutely breathtaking last three minutes of regulation - some of the dumbest offensive basketball I've ever seen in the association.

Nice job by Rondo speeding up the pace of the game in the OT. He's effective when he's attacking, and useless when he isn't, and Garnett's follow was the play of the game. Can't overstate how well Garnett is playing on both ends of the floor.

HAVE to win games like this to play into June. Have to.

[Chief]

Rondo 17 pts, 12 assists, and 14 rebounds.

I thought Doc might do this when Bradley, Pietrus, and Ray were all healthy.
