Fireworks ?

Hunter has absolutely zero business getting time in the playoffs. With all the days off, can't we play Isaiah and Marcus 40 minutes tonight?

he has made some bad blays , but found sully and turner for wide open layups they both blew . Also forced scott into a bad shot .

He is playing an average game I would say , much better than the seasoned vet Zeller....

[tankcity!]

We all know the C's will chip away at this lead at some point and get within a bucket or take a lead.

Pretty much where I'm at right now. It's funny to see this board react.

[CoachBo]

Smart is hardly untouchable either. This team needs scorers. Smart is a bricklayer.

Good Lord, you would think. Stevens just seems allergic to playing guys that many minutes.

Hunter with that Block 

[fairweatherfan]

I don't understand why Hunter and Rozier are on the floor at the same time.

Stevens could have easily used them separately and kept 4 vets on the floor alongside each one of them. Bad coaching, again.

I agree, neither has shown enough poise this year to be put out there without experience around them.  I get the feeling Stevens is flailing around with his lineups looking for anything that can stop the bleeding.

That was probably the original plan, but then they were horrible. Giving them a break so they can re-start and pretend the first quarter never happened.

Aside from the blocked three, RJ has been pretty good.

[Celtic Fan Forever]

How are we only down 14? Good thing Atlanta has been awful after the first 6 minutes

[Who]

It's only a 14 point game. One quick run and it's down to single digits.

[tankcity!]

So, about Crowder being untouchable? I understand he's still coming back from injury, but maaannnnnnn he's been nonexistent on either side of the ball.

Dude come on, when Smart comes back from injury, you give him a lot of slack. I mean Crowder has not been the same since he came back dude. It's clear the ankle is bothering him.

[CoachBS#1]

Make a ruuuuuuuun!!1, GO CELTICS!!!

Thank you AMIR....

Felger thought we would beat the Hawks.  that's the problem right there.  Why do these csn guys talk up this stuff.  you know players listen to it and get in that mood of oh we got this.

I'm going to go out on a limb here and suggest that is absolutely not the problem right now.

I don't know.  A few years back the bruins were on the way to the cup and were playing great defense and he said they were playing like bullies and needed to score more.  They didnt win a game after that.  What he says usually the opposite happens.

That means his opinions are bad and you should stop listening.  It doesn't mean he's causing the players to play poorly.

OK MAN.
