1/13/17 - Celtics @ Hawks

Observations from the fourth quarter: Dennis and Dwight in the bench down the stretch as the Hawks tighten up the game behind Delaney and THJ...

Interesting.

THJ bet on himself last Fall and declined a contract extension. And he is going to get paid this summer.

I'd be okay adding Dunleavy into the starting lineup.

Boston wisely spread the floor with jump shooting bigs when D12 was in the game. Other teams will attempt to match in the playoffs.

Kent Bazemore is bad at offense.

Isaiah Thomas is very good at offense.

This is a career game for Delaney.

Celtics, with the addition of Horford, have surpassed us in the hierarchy of the Easter Conference. We got a solid replacement and remained competitive. Boston undeniably improved their roster.

Incredibly resilient effort in the 4th by that group off the bench (plus Millsap and Baze). I have no problem with Bud sticking with them throughout the game.

This one was there for the taking. We win if Muscala gives us anything more than wide open misses and dropped passes.

Hopefully next time we play these we don't double or trap nearly as much. Although knowing Coach Bud, I seriously doubt that.

I don't know what this is suppose to mean. Really the only shot you could say was pure luck was Tim Hardaway Jr's bank shot to cut it to 3. And even on that shot he might have been fouled.

Other than that it was players who could hit knock down 3s getting hot and knocking down those shots.
