Hawks (2-1) at Celtics (1-2) Round 1 Game 4 4/24/16

[Neurotic Guy]

Rozier is looking more and more like he belongs.  Love that he's getting some important minutes.

[positivitize]

Love that the Garden was so loud that the Hawks couldn't get a timeout until 10 seconds into a possession...

Smart has been superb on Korver today, too.

But he's suppoooooooossssed to be superb on Korver! Also he's been 2 for 6 with only one assist, so they're being pretty good on him too. Or just letting him be himself

What are you even arguing here? lol So now elite defense isn't enough anymore? Our sophomore guard, who has been riddled with major injuries both of his seasons, has to be elite at both ends now to not be a bust?! That's ridiculous.

[Neurotic Guy]

Disappointing.  C's had them reeling and lightened up up on both ends.

[BudweiserCeltic]

Didn't like that 3 from Crowder at all..


Crowder's defense on Milsap was good, but better offense.

[bello_man09]

where is the defense on MILSAP

[CelticSooner]

This is 40 point Milsap game I was dreading.

[jpotter33]

Come on, guys. You can't leave them open like that. Miscommunication between Jae and IT let that three happen.

[Chief]

They won't keep hitting these threes on the road.

[hwangjini_1]

why the quick threes? those are open anytime. crap. 

[GetLucky]

The Celtics have had so many chances to lay the hammer down and haven't capitalized. It's still close, but the lack of a possible double-digit buffer makes me concerned about a possible second-half run by the Hawks.

Yes. That is exactly what I am saying regarding Smart. Elite defense is not enough in the case of Marcus Smart. Not anywhere near enough. Not even close. That is exactly what I am saying. Elite defense and historically poor offense is not enough. Not by a long shot. No way. He wasn't drafted to be the backup he is.

[Tr1boy]

is that Humphries?? lol

[letsgoblue86]

Millsap has half their points , so I don't expect that to happen in the second half

[jpotter33]

And now we're going to let IT and Crowder shoot us out of this game??
