A win is a win.

Whether we win by 15 or 40, either way each win counts the same. Either way, we go up 1-0 in the series.

Hawks have the #3 ranked offense in the league. They were bound to make a run at some point.
Nothing wrong with having a different opinion - as long as it's done respectfully. It'd be lame if we all agreed on everything :)

K. Keep building those bad habits.


Curious, how much would they need to win a playoff game before you have anything positive to say? You've done nothing but piss and moan this entire **** game.

Got outscored by 20 most of the 2nd half and deservingly so. A++ first half F second half. Only these Celtics can do this what feels like often. This is the playoffs, knock your opponent out early and get valuable rest.

You've been criticized all year for lack of focus in games,blowing leads etc. Playoffs on deck and you announce to everyone just how focused you are and trot out unfinished business t shirts.

Then blow a 32 point lead?

Talk less...play harder.


They didn't blow it though.

I agree. Allowed more off. rebounds, had more turnovers, less free throws. Hard to win against a good team when you lose all of these categories.

Hawks shooting 17% from deep, C's 39%, was the difference tonight. Still feel like C's will lose most close games in these playoffs.

A team that took a week off. It’s a good win. Up 32 won by double digits. What in the hell u all hoping for? 40 point wins against playoff teams?
