Series Thread: 4) Atlanta Hawks (48-34) vs 5) Boston Celtics (48-34)

Regardless of tonight's result, I think we still win this series.

 

[bksballer89]

That was a bad possession

 

[Demonjoe93]

Need at least two here. Another empty possession will be game over.

 

[Demonjoe93]

Likely game over. Millsap fucked up big time.

 

[Demonjoe93]

And that is definitely game over.

I'm still feeling pretty good about this series. Boston needed Thomas to get over forty points to win, and I doubt Horford and Millsap both score in single digits in one night again. Not to mention, they still can't beat us in Atlanta.

Wow Isaiah Thomas

 

[Demonjoe93]

Why are you even fouling at this point?

 

[WiggyRuss]

what is Bazemore doing taking 19 shots? While Horford and Korver each take 10....

Marcus Smart is a tough litte fucker.

 

[Ragingcroc]

Omg I can't stop laughing at this.

 

[bksballer89]

Thomas is likely suspended for game 4 due to this. What a damn clown

WATCH: Isaiah Thomas takes a swing at Dennis Schroder's head

Omg I can't stop laughing at this.

There's another part in the game where he flopped, and the refs called a foul on him. The most egregious flopper I've ever seen (at least Manu is sneaky about it). I can honestly say that there's not one player I dislike more than Marcus Smart.

2 words:

Contract year.

He's#2 on my list.

Draymond still holds the top spot.

I love his game, hate his mouth.

* It should be noted that I would feel totally different if he played for the Clippers

In the next round it will be:

Gone fishin

Mark Murphy: Stu Jackson, former NBA discipline czar, said on NBA TV last night that he believes, according to rules, that Thomas gets 1 game suspension.

No suspension. They decided to just slap him on the wrist with a flagrant 1

 

[bksballer89]

That's all?

Wow..going with the spirit of the law and not the letter of the law.

Could be that they know the game would be absolute SHIT if they made him sit and because most every first round series has been Tuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuurible, they didn't want to sink one of the only 2 that have been competitive.

 

[Heatles84]

That's all?

So from what we've just gathered. Celtics got off.
