Hawks (3-2) at Celtics (2-3) Round 1 Game 6 4/28/16

What the Edited.  Profanity and masked profanity are against forum rules and may result in discipline. Turner... Good Lord you are just the lowest IQ player that I've ever seen!

[86MaxwellSmart]

ET's usually consistent midrange shot has abandoned him this series, right when we needed it most.

He's been rushing it---afraid of getting blocked.

[Chief]

Yes, that was Turner that let Bazemore go.

Clueless.

[slamtheking]

well, at least they got the deficit under 15.  at least they didn't end their season with a 30 point loss

[max215]

This is the most 2015-16 Celtics way to go out.

[SCeltic34]

Smart just had his 2nd airball in ten minutes.  So much promise.

Are you seriously still ragging on Smart?  Him and JJ are the only 2 to come out with any energy tonight, how could you have any issue with him?

Down 20 and every other guy on the court is disinterested, Smart is still being aggressive.  Who cares if he airballs a 3 dude, give it a rest.

I know the participation trophy crowd think it's great that Smart tries hard (Good job. Good effort.) but results actually matter

He wasn't the reason we lost tonight.  4-10 for 11 points, 5 boards, 1 assist and 4 steals.  What's so wrong with that stat line in 30 minutes?  When I say trying hard I mean he was still forcing his way to the bucket, and getting there.

What's so wrong about it is this is the playoffs and this doesn't cut it by a long long shot. These are middling stats and that is actually a pretty good offensive stat line for Smart. I mean he's a pg and he got 1 whole assist in a playoff game.  That's what's wrong about it. Now if he'd been drafted last in the first round, then that's not too bad, but he was drafted 6th and people here seem to think he's the next Kobe, without saying it.

That is bad.

People aren't supposed to be wishing we had Bass back because Bass can actually make a shot. People aren't supposed to be wishing so incredibly badly that we had Avery here.  But here we are. Smart has a lot to do with that. A lot.

this series is the best Smart has played all year.

Bad timing to be ragging on him.

Right. And here are the results. 6 game series. Lost the last game at home. The Celts were totally dominated in three games. 

Smart should be undoubtedly the 2nd best player on the team and he's not by a long shot. And he won't be next year either

In other news, Smart is also responsible for racial inequalities, world hunger, global warming, ISIS, and Donald Trump.

[slamtheking]

no foul??

[CelticSooner]

The one time you need threes you stop shooting them lol

[jpotter33]

no foul??

It looked like a good call. Horford was legitimately straight up.

[rocknrollforyoursoul]

This Hawks team isn't really going anywhere. Most of their key players have hit their ceiling, and Horford's already showing signs of decline. Besides, they don't have a star player who can carry them past LeBron.

Boston has a brighter outlook and a better chance at lasting success.

Well, they just gave us a glimmer of hope the last few minutes, but I think that's all she wrote, folks.

[Tr1boy]

IT is a little beast. Love the little guy

really tough

But look at how much effort he put into all that. I mean he tried really hard. I mean you could just see how much he wanted it.

[letsgoblue86]

Will be pleased to watch Atlanta get killed by LeBron

[jpotter33]

Haha when's the last time KO even played? lol Outside of Amir and JJ, our frontcourt has been simply terrible.

[86MaxwellSmart]

We need to throw in everything and the kitchen sink---to get Cousins on draft night---we need some MUSCLE in the middle----there aint no Centers in the east...I'm sick of getting punked night in and out.
