Good start, guys!

 

[Demonjoe93]

I love how defenders are so scared of Korver that they'll leave guys like Millsap alone.

Celtics are now 4-18

 

[Demonjoe93]

Defense has been tight so far.

 

[Demonjoe93]

Just like that, Hawks up by double digits again.

 

[Demonjoe93]

Good first quarter, Hawks.

 

[bksballer89]

Typical Marcus Smart.

Doesn't deserve the benefit of the doubt

 

[Demonjoe93]

That's a flagrant. Damn it, Scott.

 

[Demonjoe93]

A lot of key Celtic players getting into foul trouble

 

[Demonjoe93]

Marcus Smart burned us on three last game too.

 

[Robotech]

This is a tough one to pick, but I'll go with Boston because of Coach Stevens and Isaiah Thomas.

 

[Demonjoe93]

Celtics just keep jacking up the threes.

They saw Miami do it on the 2nd half Wednesday

Like, I get it when teams like the Hawks do it because that's that their bread and butter, but the Celtics aren't even a three-point shooting team.

 

[bksballer89]

This is a repeat of their first half against Miami on Wednesday. Only difference is Atlanta didn't score as much

Wednesday night is why I feel very comfortable with this lead. Hawks need to step on their next in the third quarter.

Celts are fools gold, so far, as predicted.
Wonder if Wiggy still thinks the momentum from the 2nd half of Wednesday's game will lead Boston to the EC Finals?

He thought the Cavs were going to lose to the Celtics?

 

[Demonjoe93]

Solid half of basketball. Defense was a very tight. Play that type of defense in the second half and this game will definitely be ours.

You're right, winner of this series would play them next.
My point was he thought the momentum from that game would carry over for both teams.
It doesn't work that way.
