Celtics (0-0) at Hawks (0-0) Game #1 4/16/16

[Kane3387]

Not the start to this game I was hoping for.   Atlanta's bigs are killing us once again.

As good as the Celtics are on the perimeter, they're just as bad up front. Sully/Amir/Oly just doesn't cut it as a front court.

The problem is that Atlanta has no one on the perimeter worth guarding that much in an isolation situation.


Our greatest strength is our perimeter defense but they don't rely on their perimeter guys to generate offense much. Kind of makes our greatest strength worthless in a way

Marcus...

hard for him to have an impact when we are playing catch up from 10 down. We need shooters out there.

That was still a stupid play

ANd whenever you have to get absolutely mugged to get a call from the officials.

I feel some momentum here.

KELLY YOU'RE 2 FEET FROM THE HOOP MAKE THAT

[Who]

Schroeder making a lot of mistakes.

[CelticSooner]

C's D is good enough. Offense has no flow at all.

[Smart457]

Cs starting to settle in

[Celtic Fan Forever]

Schroeder making a lot of mistakes.

Unfortunately he just went to the bench

[Who]

Smart needs to be able to shoot or he needs to be able to drive.

Not being able to do either is a huge negative for him.

[jpotter33]

Woah, that might be a flagrant 2. That's an elbow/forearm to the head area.

[Celtic Fan Forever]

That better be a flagrant

[GreenWarrior]

this - for every jump shot we make we miss 10 offense isn't going to cut it.

you'd think someone would realize this.

[SCeltic34]

By today's weak standards, that's probably a flagrant on Scott.

yeah because smart's offense is the reason we're going to lose this series...
