Official Game Thread: Hawks at Celtics

I know one thing. Spectrum better fix this cable issue in the next 2 hours. No way I'm missing this Super Bowl.

Trae if you are going to line up a three on a two on one break.. you better hit that ....

You better hit that like prom night in a hotel room. 

You better hit that like  playing 21 with an Ace  and a 4. 

You better hit that like a shower after a day doing construction. 

You better hit that like a punching bag during a boxing work out. 

You better hit that like the road after your girl has put you out. 

[Hawkmoor]

lmao.

[hawkman]

Playing 5 on 8 in the 3rd quarter may have cost the Hawks this game. 

[terrell]

Let me see a possession where the ball touches just 3 players hands. Count how many times that happens.

[Marvin24Williams]

Huerter and Hunter are just so damn inconsistent.

Bogi should not be subbed out for rotation reasons, with him rolling like this.

You know Nate, out comes Bogi, lol.

Now hunter can’t get over on screens ….smh

 

i can’t wait to see someone comment that this defense is Traes fault. This defense just isn’t good at all on the perimeter it’s waaaayyyy past singling out Trae. Shit we ain’t there yet to even discuss one man’s defense when the whole team has an issue on this end.

[Sothron]

Refs were apparently told at halftime to make sure Boston won. Have we had any free throws in the 2nd half? How many moving screens has Boston gotten away with? Or Tatum running over our players and it not being called a charge?

Quote

A player who sets a screen shall not (1) assume a position nearer than a normal step from an opponent, if that opponent is stationary and unaware of the screener’s position, or (2) make illegal contact with an opponent when he assumes a position at the side or front of an opponent, or (3) assume a position so near to a moving opponent that he is not given an opportunity to stop and/or change direction before making illegal contact, or (4) move laterally or toward an opponent being screened, after having assumed a legal position. The screener may move in the same direction and path of the opponent being screened.

Sadly Hunter just don’t have it. It has nothing to do with Trae . Hunter misses too many shots he should be making .

Lol.  His body language after the miss was just as bad: head down, slow first step in transition.  I would’ve thought Nate would’ve driven home better PG habits by now.  I don’t think I’ve ever seen Chris Paul react to a shot like that but he also would never take that shot on a break.

Agree about HUnter.. His body language is off or something. Just doesnt look  the same..

But Trae has been beyond terrible this half. A bunch of terrible shots.

They basically took this game from the Hawks in the 3rd.

[benhillboy]

Good close out and challenge by Trae tho

Been saying we aint winning shit until we find a defensive monster to pair with Trae.. Trae/Huerter will never work.. Especially if Hunter and Capel arent ALL Worrld on D.. Kev might be worse than Trae and thats saying something...

Hunter has been the worse hawk of the second half easily not Trae.

[benhillboy]

I gotta give props any time you box out Robert Williams.

[hawkman]

GET A STOP!!!

[benhillboy]

Dre attack them bad close outs kid
