Official Playoff Game Thread: Hawks at Celtics -- GAME 5

Bench is ready tonight.

[MaceCase]

Need both the Bogis to pressure the basket and collect these fouls

[JeffS17]

We're getting a lot of calls and they're not (that Smart layup contact with OO is called like 90% of the time).  I worry the second half is going to a whistle fest for Hawks defenders.

That POA defense is what we need from Aaron 

[hawkman]

Move those feet JJ!

[JeffS17]

Jaylen Brown always surprises me with nice footwork

[benhillboy]

What kind of “finish” was that Jalen?

[Nash]

OO is just stupid with that push

He got a dominant shuffle step and wiggle for his size 

[Nash]

JJ missing wide open layup jc

I was hoping we'd just not talk about that one -- looked like something I'd put up

[Marvin24Williams]

Holiday was making their guards uncomfortable. I liked his minutes.

[JeffS17]

Time to bring Trae back in.  He should be playing 40+ minutes tonight

[TheNorthCydeRises]

Bad matchup for JJ on Brown.  Better off guarding Tatum.

It's OK though. Quin still needs to play him.

He needs to go right to the rim and OVER whoever is under the basket. Can't afford to shy away from contact.

I have them suckas on mute....listening to Steve Holman on radio...synced up perfectly  

I think Steve has real street beef with Zach Zorba.  Like he might legit ride down on him.

Right, I'd prefer he try to dunk it and live with the results.

[MaceCase]

Irrational confidence.  Trying to outmuscle 3 guys but I love it.

I detect no lies from Holman.

It’s so weird Horford isn’t a great three point shooter but Mazzula gives him the lime green light.
