Official Playoff Game Thread: Hawks at Celtics -- GAME 2

[TheNorthCydeRises]

Good pass Bogi.

Just keep it close.

[Hawkmoor]

They can win this game if they start hitting those open looks.  Boston notoriously lets teams make a big run in the second half.

Celtics just gave Collins that 3.  Didn't even run out at him.

And he still hesitated. He's not feeling it.

Hunter has gone cold.

[Hawkmoor]

Thats where I want Hunter, in the paint taking short jumpers.

I think it's an open secret at this point that Johns shot broke when he injured his finger

Quin and Prunty yelling at the refs...should have been a foul on Hauser on the OO bucket.

Hawks are 8 - 19 from 3 . . . but it seems a lot worse.

Hunter, Trae, and Murray have made 2 threes each. 

Collins, JJ, Bey, and Bogi are 2 - 9

When Hunter forces a shot it's ugly.  When he just shoots confidently he's fine.  Also.....let dribbling.  More passing.

I said that last game, and it happened.

Hawks just need to keep this close, and possibly take the lead before the half.

All of our shooters are inconsistent.  It was actually good to see DJ hit two in a row.   We have to get our focus back and do what we were doing to start the game.

Especially that wide open dribble rhythm shot he just tried. Get him in the corner and in the flow and you might see it go in.

Somebody was blowing a whistle in the arena....

[GameTime]

Hunter's handles are elite

[JeffS17]

Hunters tunnel vision is soooo bad -- he never sees the help defender come in to swipe his slow dribbles

[JayBirdHawk]

We just giving up on defense.

Thank goodness Trae trade value is like bad property on Chavez Ravine

 I think we are better team with Trae on the bench..

And that isnt saying much..

Team just isnt any good...

 

[Diesel]

Three pointers leading to breaks...  If we don't hit our defense is in a bad place. 

Time to go inside.

I mean, they waiting on the pick and roll.  They have shut that thing down since that ECF run.
