2 awesome defensive plays by Marcus!

Foul on Marcus? That's BS.

Just incredibly sloppy play the entire second half. Basically just tried to run the clock for 2 straight quarters

Don't even know what the refs thought they saw on that play, this should be an easy won challenge

They wouldn't be up by 30 at the half and then fall asleep against either team. I don't like seeing them sleepwalk either but this was never as close as the second half made it feel.

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.

They have to be the lowest basketball IQ "contender" in the league.

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.

We should have won this Game by 40 pts, at least.

How did the Cs have so few fast break points when the Hawks were so intent on crashing the boards?

Or were the Hawks really not so intent? They didn't get huge offensive rebound numbers, especially if you recall all the wild tips.

I don't know about the Bucks, since the Celtics seems quite superior this season, but the Warriors would
chew and spit the Celtics out if they play this way against them.

For an alleged Championship Team, there have been too many times this season, where they've lacked a killer instinct.

1 win down 15 to go. Don't give a **** about style points in the playoffs. That said, Mazzulla, no more double-big in this series. Period.
and that's "MR. Irrelevant" to you!!

Does it matter?

Only thing that matters is 16 wins
