Celtics (15-17) at Hawks (20-11) 1/5

Not a bad drive by Zaza

Referees hate Jared Sullinger.  Just a known fact.

[Interceptor]

So, I hear that JET is a bad defender.

 

[blink]

I can't wait until every possible foul isn't called on Sully anymore.  He was moving out of the way on that one.  Why does ZP need a call?

[Change]

Pierce went on beastmode with 4 fouls. Very impressive.

[Neurotic Guy]

Keep hitting and keep up the D.  Playing physical.

[celticslove]

feels like we're playing at home with the number of C's fans in there.

I know the guard scored just a minute ago, but Sully's PnR defense is so much better than even a few weeks ago.

[BudweiserCeltic]

Doc going with Terry once again over Lee... don't understand it.

[AB_Celtic]

So, I hear that JET is a bad defender.

 

He's looking like AB out there.

Wow!

That quarter highlighted so much:

1) How good the Celtics can be when they put forth effort and they execute well.

2) Pierce is a flat-out HOF-er.

3) Why the Hawks cannot truly contend for a championship.  Too many 3's and long jumpers.  The Celtics sometimes suffer from this same issue.

4) Josh Smith's weaknesses, and why I've never really wanted him on the C's.  I mean, I'd take him straight up for Bass or Green, but I wouldn't base our future around him and Rondo.  His effort fluctuates and he too often settles for loooong jumpers when his natural athleticism can get him to the rim every time.

5) I love Sully more every game.

[Neurotic Guy]

CELTICS!

[BudweiserCeltic]

Great box out from Green on Horford.

[Who]

Terrific offensive rebound by Sullinger. Just muscled Smith in below the rim for the position.

Rondo saw him running up and decided to take the jumper because he knew Sully was going to be in rebounding position if he missed. A 2 for 1 opportunity. Very good job reading the play by Rondo.
