Shot lights out and down 7 lol. They better decide to start playing defense soon, or this will get ugly

They actually almost broke the record at 75. SMFH. When does Joe put it in their thick skulls that they need to put more effort on defense?

I mean I could respect a desperate home team going down fighting .. Fighting hard to get their points.. But this is not the case this is some of the worst effort I have ever seen in a f****** playoff game and unfortunately this is a common theme with this f****** team.

There are literally times all year long this team doesn't even try and this is a f****** playoff game.. In f****** excusable

Outrebounded by 7 on O boards.
Horrible D effort at the hoop & defending the 3.
Their **** bench outscored us by 1000.

Only good thing about this first half was incredible 3 point shooting by JT, Steph Smart, Grant & Brog.

Otherwise, we would be down 20*.

Told you guys not to assume ****. SMMFH.

BETTER COME OUT AND PLAY IN Q3.

That's because Brown isn't a great second option.

Capela, Bogdanovic and Bey 15/15 from the floor. Dunno if that's a fluke or the defense is just that bad.

I don't get how are they getting to the rim so easy. I can't put my finger on it, but it looks so easy. I can't even blame a particular player or two. It seems Hawks are doing something to remove the help out of equation or something.

They got everything at the rim and wide open 3s. It's not even that they're hot. Mostly great looks.

If anything, Celtics are red got from deep. Hopefully they can figure it out. It would be a shame to lose a game on a road when you made 15 3s in the first half.

No **** way ATL is gonna shoot 65% again in the 2nd half. Yeah, really not worried right now.
and that's "MR. Irrelevant" to you!!

Celts will turn up the defense in the 2nd half. Atlanta is playing for their lives, and in some cases, their jobs next season. This is their biggest punch, just got to stay close, and shut them down with the defense.

Oh yeah, almost forget. I HATE HUBIE BROWN !!!

Wow. Atlanta's bench have hit 13/14 and 7/7 from three. That's nuts.
