3/27 Celtics @ Hawks

ATL DirtyBird · Post #1 » by **ATL DirtyBird** » Fri Mar 27, 2009 1:24 am

0-2 on the season againts the defending champs, but only loosing by a combined 3 points. I expect a win but im sure thats way to much to expect considering you never know what ur gonna get out of these birds. A win or loss wouldnt really do much for respect but it would help in sealing the 4th seed. KG will be limited in minutes again so they will be without their leader but still will give our anemic offense fits. Hopefully Josh will get his head out of his ass, but I know thats to much to ask for from a little kid. Lets get the W Hawks.

GO Hawks!!!!! I HATE THE CELTICS!!!

The Smoove One! (SIKE)

I wish Marvin Williams was playing.

Let's hope we see this Ray:

Who's going to guard PP ? The longer Marvin is out the more I miss him. I mean, i'm not a big fam of his game, but we got no one who can be good on D and show up a bit on offense. Every time we face a team that has their foundation based on fundamentals, J. Smith struggles, are you surprised ? Anyway, what he did in game 3 last year was more than I ever expected from him. I hope we come out determined to win. We can't afford to go down by 10 in the 1st qter against solid good teams, I hope we have learned our lesson well.

Rondo, KG game-time decisions for Celtics

Rajon Rondo and Kevin Garnett are both listed as game-time decisions for Friday's game at Atlanta, but it also sounds like both are leaning toward playing.
Rondo, who has sprained both ankles recently, was wearing ice packs on both ankles after this morning's shootaround, but said that he expects to play tonight. Garnett didn't do any physical activity in shootaround, but coach Doc Rivers also said he hasn't suffered a setback since his return from a knee injury, and that he is continuously day-to-day. http://www.boston.com/sports/basketball ... lay_a.html

Speedy in uniform tonight according to Sekou.

Vegas must have heard about Speedy. Celtics favored by 1 with o/u of 184.5

I have no idea what will happen and wouldn't put any money on this coin flip. I'm just going to drive down and hope to be happy at the end of the night.

I'm off to the game. A win tonight would give us some real confidence heading into the playoffs.

Speedy could be playing?!?!?!?

tony parker must have pissed woodson off alot more than i thought.

Most of the drives I remember were Tony Parker driving past Al Horford after an unnecessary switch for 2. If it take Speedy to stop the unnecessary switching then amen. Rondo is another guy who can hurt us if we switch on him. If he wants to launch a jumper while his man fights over or under the screen then great for us. You switch on screens for Ray Allen and Paul Pierce, but you play everyone else straight. It isn't rocket science.

Another Magic fan here. Hope you guys get a big win tonight. Give it to em.

This will be interesting. Zaza is starting. Glen Davis will be checking Horford so hopefully Al can exploit Big Baby.

2nd possesion Josh with the good post moves and the follow up and one. He needs to bring that all night and every game for the rest of his career.

The lineup change is surprising. It would make more sense if we used this lineup vs players who can get their shot off on us any time like Garnett or Illgauskus. I don't see the point of it vs a Big Baby/Perkins front court though because we lose our athletisicm advantage and we only have 2 shooters out there.

ATL DirtyBird · Post #16 » by **ATL DirtyBird** » Fri Mar 27, 2009 11:56 pm

I wonder if we plan on boxing out this game.

ATL DirtyBird · Post #17 » by **ATL DirtyBird** » Sat Mar 28, 2009 12:07 am

Thats a pretty weak call on Mo. Pierce is the man when it comes to drawing phantom calls.

I hate how nonchalant Bibby is about going after loose balls. He assumed it was going out of bounds and Ray Allen outran him.

ATL DirtyBird · Post #19 » by **ATL DirtyBird** » Sat Mar 28, 2009 12:11 am

All this swtiching on the pick and rolls is screwing us. Eddie House was just wide open. The best 3pt shooter on the team, wtfff

Philly is getting the crap beat out of them by Charlotte.
