Official Playoff Game Thread: Hawks at Celtics -- GAME 1 (3 PM Tip!)

[Hawkmoor]

Murray playing like a Allstar!

[Diesel]

That was a travel....

I don't want Quin to get cute with the lineup.  Get Jalen in this game and see if he can provide some energy and get some transition baskets.

[Diesel]

We need to find out who can guard Tatum inside.   He comes in and takes what he wants.

So Boston's going to go through the entire first quarter without one personal foul?

Hope this isn’t one of those things where he thinks we have to have Hunter in the court whenever Tatum is out there, particularly when he’s getting abused. Wanna give JJ a shot at that matchup.

Hawks 0 - 8 from 3.

Let's see who can finally break through the ice.

Not liking this offense so far. Trae 1-7, Zero assists. Run the offense.

The refs haven't been bad.. they have missed two calls so far...

DJ was fouled on a steal...  No Call..

and 

White took 10,000 steps just a minute ago.. stopped and stepped again after picking up his dribble.

Well Tatum si destroying us o defense and Trae si destroying us on offense, even with that we are only 8 down, I am optimistic

[TheNorthCydeRises]

STop trying to make the perfect play Trae.   Just shoot the damn ball.

[terrell]

Trae is just a turnover machine.. Yall might as well accept it..

[TheNorthCydeRises]

LOL . . and of course he hits the 30 footer, after Smart flops to get the call on JJ.

[terrell]

FLOP but its the right call? wtf

[Diesel]

That's BS...

 

[Hawkmoor]

They brought back the 1980s Boston Garden referees.

JJ running in a path, Smart Slides over and Bumps him... Offensive foul. 

We're in Boston.

 

[TheNorthCydeRises]

Lucky to be down by 10, because that quarter could've been a lot worse.

[JayBirdHawk]

Not even 20 points.
