Official Game Thread: Celtics at Hawks

[Guest]

Damn Celtics are too intelligent and efficient.

This is not a game for Capela. He's getting abused on the perimeter and not dominating the rebounds. JC can play small ball center to matchup better. 

[TheNorthCydeRises]

Crazy how quickly this game turned.

Celtics with 10 made threes already.

 

Once again, Murray is more worried about getting his midrange shot, than running the offense.  The biggest difference between he and Trae on offense, is that when Trae is looking for his shot, his brain is still wired to see people and get them the ball if open. With Murray, you can almost always tell when he's looking to shoot. 

So disappointing.

We've taken 11 3ptrs made 2. Celtics have hit 10.

[TheNorthCydeRises]

( sigh ) . . . just try to get this below 8 points at halftime, and don't let this balloon to a 20+ point lead for Boston.

[Peoriabird]

Murray is sucking again

[JayBirdHawk]

Murray cannot finish a fast break...geez

[Hawkmoor]

Jaylen Brown look like Batman reigning down 3 point shots.

[JayBirdHawk]

I would give the Mathews kid some run....he can hit 3s right?

[LucastheThird]

Trae, JC, and Hunter will win the game for us tonight.

Honestly, Dejountes playmaking leaves a lot to be desired

[JayBirdHawk]

So close to getting under double digits. Keep fighting.

[Hawkmoor]

Marcus Smart better stop arguing with Trae.  Trae make that phone call to Boston and have him traded.

[Peoriabird]

Hawks can't win with Capela on the floor.  Dude is slow as molasses and can't protect the rim anymore

[Hawkmoor]

Murray and A.J. got to get going.  Boston hasn't started trapping Trae yet.

Agreed.. And some people would rather have Murray over Trae.. lol

Trae has his flaws, but hes a better offensive player than Murray on one leg..

Murray defense is overrated too IMO....

He had the game vs Blazers and been pretty ass since..

Dude needs to wake up....

Clint been struggling on defense since ASB.

A 10 point deficit at halftime is doable, considering this could've easily been 20+.

It is imperative that Murray run this team properly when the bench gets in.  I know he wants to score, but we need to get our 3 point shooters quality looks, specifically Bey.  He either needs to start looking to drive and kick, or a big like Collins may need to get touches so that he can kick the ball out to shooters.

Outstanding 1st half by Trae.  He had some defensive breakdowns though with those back cuts when he's watching the ball.

Hunter's shooting has been huge so far.  We may need a lot more of that as the game goes on, especially in the 4th quarter.

As others have said, this may not be the game for Capela.  Quin may want to play Collins at the 5 and get another shooter in the game.

Hopefully he still has value around the league... He's just not the same this season.. Never understood why we extended him early..
