Game Thread – Celtics @ Hawks – 7:30PM, Thurs, March 28, 2024

The refs gotta see JT get smacked upside the head with a closed fist to even consider blowing the whistle?

Lmao these two Atlanta games have been CRAZY. Hawks players are straight up tackling this dude off ball. He drive to the rim 17 times last game, and got 4 FT’s out of them.

KP getting mugged too, and Jaylen’s charge was atrocious.

Rebounding sucks
And the refs also

Defense is also mediocre at best
We need to show these cocky bastards a lesson so please win

[NuckyPowell]

This seems way harder than it ought to be, but I think Atlanta deserves credit. They're playing well, and competing really hard.

[KillahGhostface]

I’m fine with refs letting players play physical like this FWIW. But don’t change the whistle in the 4th and call touch fouls one way.

It's really crazy how bad Porzingis is at rebounding with that much length and quickness for his size. We will be forced to play Tillman /Kornet in certain matchups.

Apart from the 8 pts, 3 fouls, and 2 TOs, Brown has 0s across the board. Might need to help out with the rebounds.

[Shak_Celts]

screw ceelo

Wow, the Hawks can get Cee-Lo but we get a hiphop violin lepraucaun.

[Riverwalk2021]

Celtics need to let Porzingis be a roamer or something or have somebody body up his man on a double. His on ball defense is dreadful. He really raises their offensive ceiling but we are 18-3 without him for a reason, and it's because of his defensive shortcomings.

We will never be forced to play Tillman / Kornet over Porzingis except by injuries.

Tron bike > Cee-lo

They're really playing hard. Similar to the Bulls last time until we smoked them late. It's up to the Cs to take this game. Our poor defense and rebounding are what's keeping ATL in it.

Cee Lo doing half time performance, and he's been dropping F bombs... pretty sure they told him not to do that lol now he's singing "**** you" and he remembered he's supposed to censor himself after a couple f bombs lol

and now that he's censoring himself he puts him his middle finger instead wow.... omg back to **** you, he keeps forgetting lol damn dude

WOW now he's just saying **** you into the mic over and over... wtf haha nbta tv cut him off

[KillahGhostface]

As physical as the Hawks have played Tatum these six quarters, he has 51 points on 34 shots so far lol.

The villain effect

[exculpatory]

Good thing we are getting all of the FTs - cause D sucks & we are getting killed on the O boards.

[Riverwalk2021]

I would like to see a lot more White/Tatum actions. Ball moves a lot better.

[KillahGhostface]

That Snyder gif is INSANE lol

Yeah, I was a little surprised at all that too. Unexpected at a supposedly family friendly NBA halftime show.

that's what they do to make up for how many calls they let go/missed
