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

[skimaskway23]

We gotta go small. We can't get past the wall they are forming on isos and screens.

 

They have too many points off turnovers. We don't have the 3pt shooting to punish them.

This team is SOFT as hell man.  I need a Zaza who will put some of these dudes on their ass instead of going through a layup line.  Good grief.  

And I'm sorry, but Quin is losing a lot of good will with playing CC so much against this 5 out lineup.  It just makes no sense.

I am officially done with Hunter. He is a low effort player and is not good defensively.

Lucky to be down by 12 right now.

Hawks were up 22 - 11.

Since then, we've been outscored 50 - 27.

 

 

Shocked not shocked...

Our fake superstar killed any momentum we had early...

[JayBirdHawk]

Get it together Trae.

Turnover … 10 - 5

pts odd … 5 - 13

pts in paint … 18 - 38

 

turnovers and letting them run layup lines is the difference so far. Where is some pride? We need someone to bring a different mentality to this team.

 

I want Pat Bev to accept a backup role and get this teAms head right. Royce O’Neal and Crowder both high up on that list too.

He disappointed me when he took the three and jogged back while his man beat him down the court on the run out.

The good news, Hunter had 9 rebounds...on the flip side he has been sitting at 10 points for awhile.

They are ultra soft.  Defensive effort in that 2nd quarter was non-existent, outside of maybe 3 plays.

I wish this forum could find something we all agree to hate and bash on it together. SquawkBonding and SquawkBuilding.

9 rebounds is CRAZY for him.

He cooled off with his shooting, but I appreciate the rebounding.

How long yall gonna say this.. Trae is who he is...

Not saying he cant come out and go bananas in the 2nd half..Because hes capable(well he used to be) But Im sure he'll find a way to fk that up somehow too if he does.. Because he's Very capable of that also...

Celtics are running hard on every miss, meanwhile we are taking an afternoon stroll getting back.

God I hope the FO doesnt just care about $ going forward..

This team needs some SERIOUS changes...

Been telling yall for years..

2021 fooled the hell out of some folks.....

Trae made some great shots, but his efficiency and turnovers were terrrible.. 

Hawks need to find a NEW best player in the worst way...

Hawks need to find players period. 

[Diesel]

Quin got his work cut out for him at the half... we have lost the last two quarters.

Im sick of us wanting Hawks players to be something they arent.. ALL of them....(except JJ/AJ) The rest are who they are at this point...

 

[JayBirdHawk]

OO had a couple blocks, Bogi hit a couple and a steal....otherwise, the bench is on the struggle bus....Bey is struggling from 3, JJ playing like a deer in headlights.
