take out the starters right now.   Sick and tired of this

Brad Stevens. Where is Sully? He was the only one who stepped into two shots and hit them.

[SCeltic34]

Even IT is bricking wide-open looks.  Really disappointing.  If there was a chance to steal a game on the road, usually game 1 is it.

Ainge needs to get players that can put the [dang] ball in the basket this is sickening.

Ainge has been saying that himself all year long.

[Kuberski33]

Crowder has been awful so far.   

[Smart457]

I'm pretty pumped for the game tonight! I don't think it's as much of a mismatch as some people are making it out to be, though!

depends on which Celtics team shows up.

The Celtics have struggled recently with shooting. If that continues, the Hawks will crush the Celts in the playoffs.

When our shots are falling, we can beat anyone.

We got streaky shooters.

Called this before the game. This team is frustrating.

[CelticSooner]

Atlanta isn't even playing that well.

[jpotter33]

Jae is 1-9, 0-5 from 3 and still jacking up shots. He's not been the same since his injury.

Jae's injury might legitimately be the turning point in our season. It cost us a bad matchup in the playoffs and isn't helping us now.

[SCeltic34]

Ainge needs to get players that can put the [dang] ball in the basket this is sickening.

Ainge has been saying that himself all year long.

It's true, but I'm glad he's patient with it.  He knows we're not winning anything this year.  No point surrendering valuable assets for marginal upgrades.  He's looking to make big moves.  Dare I say... fireworks?

[The Rondo Show]

Barry is brutal.

[Kuberski33]

Hawks also dominating the defensive boards.

[Yoki_IsTheName]

Shooter.

We need one, or two. We take so many threes, we need someone who can make them.

I know that this Celtics team is young, but I hoped that last year's (albeit short) playoff experience would give them a little more poise this time around. Still lots of time in this game, but their weaknesses are really being exposed.

And this isn't anything new. The Celtics typically score a solid number of points, but that's because of their high pace—their percentage is usually low to dismal. And the psyche of this team is such that if one or two guys are shooting well, the whole team shoots well—but if a couple of guys are struggling, everyone struggles.

[Kuberski33]

Barry is brutal.

An understatement

[jpotter33]

IT is terrible..
