Official Game Thread: Hawks at Celtics

[Spud2nique]

It’s amazing how every generation of the Celtics seems to piss me off. Smart lasting from the Korver blast from the past situation lol.

Tough loss but we fought. Is Collins gonna be ok? Hope so he fell hard.

Quick turnaround as the Pacers come in tomorrow.

Go Hawks!

I thought that the end of the game was terrible.  Seemed to me that the Celtic deliberately stepped on Trae as he lay, helpless, on the floor.  Then he shoved our center.  Celtic got two free throws out of this.  Ugh.

How come, when a Hawk does something, it's a foul and when a Celtic does the same thing, it's not?  Seems to be kinda one sided.  Hawks shot 15 free throws in the game.  Celtics shot 29.  

One of our posters said that the Celtics appeared to be coasting, knowing they could turn it on at any time and win the game.  And, they did.  The reason?  Check on who got the foul calls and who didn't.  Not saying the refs gave them the game.  Just checking the facts, ma'am, just the facts.  (Dragnet)

Hope the Hawks are healthy for tonight's home game.  Vince gets the record of playing in 4 decades when we play at home.  Happy that Boston didn't get this one!  Also, hope that all the Hawks don't foul out tonight.  We were coming close last night.

When you put on that Celtic's jersey you just unavoidably become an A-hole I think. That certainly didn't just start last night either. Bit the way it ended but I will take a competitive game like this over a blowout any day. Man just hate losing to the Green though, hate it.

Boston sports always feel crooked AF.

Its pretty much a documented fact of life, at least the Celtics and Patriots cheat for sure. But the NBA refs show once again they are the only refs in the world that are as bad or worse than SEC football refs. Quite the company they keep right there.

LP on the end of game sequence, in which he thinks Smart committed two technical fouls.

"Tough break".

LP making sure he doesn't cough up cash right there.

Last thing I heard about Ivan making good money in roundball was right before he was thrown out of the Korean League. Guess that would make him available right? How old is the guy now?

Another question, would it be a two game suspension if Bruno leaves the bench and lands a forearm to the chest of Smart? Doesn't get minutes anyway so....LP should be required to pay that fine no doubt.

Our players and coaches should be coughing up cash and getting fined.  Otherwise it keeps happening.  It was a whole game of ridiculous officiating.  I havent seen a game called that poorly in a while.   The 'handcheck' failed challenge is just one of a ton of proof.  That fact that Len got a tech for shoving when if you look he didn't is a joke.  This is with the game on the line and they didn't even review it?  Two techs that could change the outcome of the game and they don't review. 

Again. Pierce has got to be out there pitching a fit.  Instead he just stood with his arms out while smart shot free throws.

The Celtics attempted 29 free throws to Atlanta's 15 -

Recap of the Hawks' loss in Boston, in which they showed signs of growth, but let another winnable game slip away:

Am pretty sure Ben Ladner did not watch the fourth quarter.

Toughness isn't fighting punk-a** Smart.  Toughness is executing down the stretch instead of falling apart.

Tell that to Mike Bibby's nose. Last night was another example of that stuff, the same old song and dance. NBA likes pretty colors.

I just get irritated with guys like Smart unless they are on the Hawks ...seriously dude flailing his body around last night and same thing a few years ago when he got shot out of a canon against strong man Kyle Korver. It’s like damn dude just playing basketball this isn’t wrestling.

Marcus Smart...Bill Laimbeer...Rick Mahorn...Dennis Rodman...Patrick Beverly...Matthew Dellavadipshit...

Guess I cant hate on them for finding a nitch for themselves but it’s very annoying. 
 

 

*Rodman actually shouldn’t be on there he was an awesome rebounder and all world defense...just the annoying ness of him and the bad boys..had to throw him in.

Smart truly reminds me of those out of control confident elementary school bullies. Twenty pounds bigger than other cats. The fact he wears a Green jersey makes it even easier to dislike his game.
