Celtics (20-22) at Hawks (24-18) 1/25

i don't know if its rondo, or the (old) guys he's usually running with. but when we had the younger guys in there, we were running, getting easy shots, and had a 27 point lead. maybe its rondo. but its not like he can play fast when his teammates are trotting up the court.

Our "old guys" were getting up the court and waiting for Rondo as he casually walked the ball up with no interest in hustling and actually running like any idiot would realize he needed to do.

Offense is bleed the shot clock and throw up a long jumper

Is it me or does Atlanta's crowd sound disappointed that the Celtics lost the lead? They really have no love for their team.

Silly reach in foul by Collins. He was in a good position. Just contest the shot.

this is what happens when you put the starters back in when the bench was kicking butt. this comeback started in the 2nd quarter when we benched lee and green when they were leading the onslaught.

Thank you.
I promise they thought that the Hawks would lie down and give up when they were down by halftime and are playing like it. I can't the stand lazy effort especially when the game is nowhere near over and you're playing like it.

Can't fault Celtics effort tonight. They are playing hard on both ends

I cant remember ever seeing a team give up a 19 point lead in 6 minutes.

I was out and recorded the game. When I got home, a little tired, I said to my wife: forget it, I am not even going to watch the first half, I cant take another half of bad play. So I turn on the game live, coming out of the half with the 19 point lead. I laugh...of course, the night I actually skip a half they dominate.

Then I say: of course, they will now blow the 19 point lead and be losing by the 4th.

Dear Basketball Gods: it was just a sarcastic joke after the last five ridiculous losses. I get the point, now stop messing with me.

bench > starters this game... feels like its been happening a lot more lately

[celticinorlando]

So underachieving it is frustrating

I've missed the game so far, but it looks like Green is having a night, huh?  8 FTs so far?  Gotta love the aggressiveness that that suggests.

[Kane3387]

For the first time ever I just cringed at seeing Pierce sub into a game.

Oh... There's why.

[mainevent]

PP...smh. Sad.

[esel1000]

i swear pierce has been numero uno involved in this losing streak... the offense seems to stall when hes in... look at that another run now that hes back in

[TheLegendaryClub]

Sit the captain. He's killing us out there.
