Hawks (15-12) at Celtics (14-12) Game #27 12/18/15

[mainevent]

Total breakdown. Turnovers, sloppy play and poor substitutions by BS gave this game away. Terrible.  Turner = garbage, Lee = garbage, Sully couldn't hit a free throw and Kelly...smh.  I don't know what's happened over the last few games but something has gone awry.

This team is just collapsing right now, painful to watch.

3 bad losses in a row.

[34truth]

this is looking really bad. This Atlanta team played like crap tonight and we still managed to lose.

[Celtic Fan Forever]

Really Brad? That's what you draw up? A Kelly Olynyk to Evan Turner contested alley-oop?

[Chief]

So little upside playing Turner, Lee, and JJ.

[jpotter33]

Really Jonas?

That was agonizing. I'd like an explanation for why Jonas was in the offensive line up, and an apology for him taking that shot.

Brad is getting more and more questionable with his rotation and player choices recently. The small-ball tonight was almost immediately a failure, yet he didn't make any changes to it. That's been one of his greatest downfalls since he's been here - not acting fast enough to stop runs in games.

Almost feels like the team wants to be mediocre lol. When we are really close to taking a big step foward, we take a few backwords

[tomrod]

WE are back to being the same team as last year. Suck in the 4th quarter. We stopped creating turnovers, and playing solid defense... team looks tired

[j804]

Yea why was Amir sitting on the bench so long? Lee and Jerebko over Amir?

[Vox_Populi]

These last couple of games really highlight how desperately we need a star-level talent. We wouldn't have lost this game and the Detroit game with a consistent star presence.

I disagree, kinda. Isaiah had 38 against Detroit and he had 29 tonight. He's basically putting up star numbers every other game. I just think the Celtics are missing an optimal closing lineup. We need Smart to be the fifth guy.

Doesn't care for calling timeouts right away either.(even though some of the greats dont)

Everyone was disappointing outside of IT, Crowder, RJ, and Sully (for a stretch). One of Brad's worst performances ever too.

[Timdawgg]

Brad deserves a lot of blame for this one. His lineup decisions were simply mystifying.

I have not seen a game more affected by a coach in a long time. This loss almost squarely on Brads shoulders.  From David lee playing too much to Kelly's horrible decisions to benching good/hot players for jerebko,turner and kelly.  Where was Amir, Bradley hunter. They should all have played more.

Kelly's three blunders right in a row is really when things started going downhill.

[jpotter33]

And it kills me that turner and JJ are STILL in the game...
