This should be played everytime Flip scores in Phillips!

Celtics look like they miss Posey and PJ Brown, man we look like NBA Finals contenders.

Woody is still killing me with the "Invisible Horford" trick.

[DrReality]

It's amazing that we have stayed with them without Smoove and Al. Utterly amazing.

The pressure they are putting on our guards is disrupting our offense. Need to come up with a play to counter it.

[Wretch]

Meltdown...? Yes, but we came into their building and played VERY well up to now. If we play smart and play hard in the 2nd half, we'll walk away with this thing.

[Joker]

We need Smoove

Horford got Woody'd.

Well let's see what type of adjustments Woody makes at halftime. It's important that we get our offense going early in the 3rd quarter tonight since we haven't made a FG in forever. We've also got to find a way to defend that play they keep running which ends up with Pierce on our PG.

I loved the way that we started and played most of the 1st half but wow that 2nd quarter meltdown was hard to watch. I hope it was just a problem with our execution and not because of tired legs.

Woodson's 2 foul rule is going to lose games like this. Horford could have stemmed the bleeding as Solo and Morris were getting abused. This isn't college...you get 6 fouls.

[exodus]

Turnovers just killed them. Dam

Marvin needs to get the ball more. They are all over JJ and Bibby can't create anything. Bibby was also getting clowned on D.

Still they are even with only a half to go. anything can happen.

Horford got Woody'd.

:computer8:

I really don't get why he does that when they pick up 2 quick fouls. I don't think you can trust Horford to stay out there with 2 fouls that early since he's prone to fouling but jeez let the man play SOME in the 2nd quarter at least.

Oh well at least he has 4 fouls to use in the 2nd half.

[Joker]

Morris blowed and solo is tyrus

Solo played pretty damn well considering he was our only big in there for a long stretch when we went small. If we could have made a few shots and/or stopped that play that leads to Pierce on our PGs we'd be fine right now.

As it is I'm still optimistic about the 2nd half. It's nice to play a game in Boston and not have it be over with in the first quarter LOL.

Woody is still a complete moron. No right to be an NBA head coach. How does AL only play 4 minutes? That's crazy.

Yes Al should have played more than he did but if he wouldn't have picked up the 2 quick fouls then he would have played more since Woody wouldn't have sat him.

They probably blew their chance to win this game. It falls partly on Woody. Win or lose that is going to eat at me.

well it's 83 each with about 9 minutes to go so we have just as much chance to win as they do so let's try and remain optimistic.

No point in blaming this loss on anyone. The Hawks were already thin inside, and with Zaza injured, there's not much you can do.

Although the ending appears inevitable (foul trouble), this will be some good experience for Jones and Morris.
