Comments From The Other Side - Hawks, Away, Playoff Game 1

http://celticsgreen.blogspot.com/2016/04/comments-from-other-side-hawks-41616.html




I can see the Hawks lose this series, or I can see them make it to the finals. I won’t be happy with the former, but I won’t get to down.

I expect the Celtics to come out strong riding the momentum from the comeback against the Heat. Hawks can handle it though.

Lets hope that they actually call fouls on the Celtics

No messing around today to give Boston hope and home court advantage. Take care of business and get it done!

Millsap and Sap gotta punish the Selts big. Paul will do his thing. I'm looking for Al's activity and aggressiveness in faking a shot and going to the rim and running the floor. Fatty Sullinger can't stay with Al.

Hopefully Detroit will wear down the Cavs so they are tired when we get them next round.  

let’s not look beyond the Celtics. They are a tough team and this will not be a cakewalk…the Hawks need to defend the home court in games 1 & 2. If we give the Celtics home court in this series, we could have an early summer.

Hawks in 5...And guarantee a win tonight from the Hawks Remember this comment

A SEA OF VOLT GREEN

I think the Hawks could be the surprise team in the East

Celtics already working on building that new practice facility for us with all their bricks

The Volt green in the stands is what ive been looking forward to ever since the new colors came out

The Hawks stink and Cleveland will easily dispose of them again if they get to the 2nd round. It's not even debatable.

I must admit this series has me rather nervous.

Going to be a fun one, not the matchup we wanted but here it goes. Shame the two teams can't meld into one to try to beat Cleveland.

It's weird, everyone else seems a lot more optimistic about our chances than our fanbase Milsap and Horford must be foaming at the mouth for this series.

Can't decide if this Volt out is going awesome or a crime against eyeballs

I can't even look at all that neon without going blind

Add these shirts to "Things you can see from space"

Wonder how many epilepsy attacks these t-shirts will cause

Our volt out would look a lot better if the fans would actually wear the shirt.

Our Hawks are favored to win game one by 5 points.

Maybe its better that the Hawks take on the Celtics rather than the Cats, because Al Jefferson is back.

If the Hawks had won Wednesday, then we'd be facing off against MIAMI.

Boston is fine with me. Miami would have been more difficult.

Boston has no answer for Millsap and Horford, that's where we'll win this series.

Foul calls definitely going our way early.

It had to be asked.. Does Crowder put tie-wraps around his dreads?

Clever from the Hawks front office Strategically blending in the green tshirts lol

Sullinger is like that guy at the YMCA that can only do one thing. And yet he is annoying as hell doing it.

Hawks getting calls in these playoffs

Celts taking some bad shots.

They look really indecisive, which is never good

Even Isaiah passed when he should have shot. They look nervous.

That's what I figured would happen They’re on the big stage. Hawks have been there more than once. They’ll (Celtics) settle down and that’s when the game really begins

Cmon man you cant sag off Olynyk

Thjr locking up smart ty Marcus not so smart

Smart flops then gets up and starts running his mouth #modusoperandi

Jon Barry on the call Not sure what I did to deserve this, but it must have been bad!

Jon Barry is about as bright as a bowl of oatmeal

That was a hell of a flop by Crowder I thought he had been shot

Celts in a lot of foul trouble.

Early foul trouble brewing for Celtics

The Celtics finally made a perimeter shot. Well, that's 2 of them now

Bricks....all white bricks.....Celtics shooting bricks....all types of bricks

I love Avery Bradley's defense. Boston is getting great looks right now they just aren't falling.

Celtics getting are getting manhandled in the paint

Bud has this team prepared really well for Sullinger. They are doubling him almost every time.  (MY NOTE:  Yeah, I mentioned that on the Game On thread.  And Sully repeatedly didn't see the double and turned the ball over)

Or it seems like they're doubling him. I think his ass is so fat, it’s pulling Hawks players in with it’s own gravitational pull.

Atlanta is ready, Boston not so much

I just hate the Celtics so damn much

17 point lead is great, but I'm afraid that Boston will get hot in the second half. They're getting the looks, just missing them.

Remember Boston's last game and come out intense in the 3rd

The amount of times they've mentioned that Boston had a comeback against Miami is outrageous

Yeah, like that game mattered Heat had the 3rd seed no matter the outcome. But the Celts came back against a good team.

Three fouls in one minute. WTG, Celts

Getting all those calls we didn't get in the regular season lol

Less than 2 minutes into the quarter and we are in the bonus already. Did one of these Celtics sleep with the ref's wife?

Hold on did ESPN announcers say that Thomas was the best player in this series? I must have misunderstood something

The best sub 6 footer.

Sullinger is a foul machine

Damn. Hawks getting all the calls

What in the world is going on? Hawks are getting calls??? This does not bode well for Game Two.

Celtics went small and offensive, Bud needs to adjust

All the fouls for us and still lead shrinks

Celts have come storming back. They looked she'll-shocked early, but that team has some serious heart. Brad Stevens makes great halftime adjustments as well.

Isaiah can ball…..can’t defend that any better

Celtics getting a lot of easy transition buckets this quarter

Celts doing much better with cutting action

Sully and Jared w/ 3 PFs now, Crowder w/ 4. Smart has a sprained finger but can play

Amir the fourth Celt w/ 3 PFs

"Mommy can we keep this referee crew?"

Brad Stevens got a tech

Brad Stevens hotter than a tamale soaked in lava

Simmer fown brad

Dennis needs to stop using his arm to try and get around defenders. Lucky to not get called for it.

Welcome to the no call club Brad from a charter member.

I think the ESPN analyst just said that the Hawks are going to get the All Star calls.

Congrats to Brad Stevens on his first playoff technical foul! Cheers

Celts stopped TO'ing the ball which is helping them stay in it

Our PGs need to stop testing Amir

If Al got fewer minutes we would be way ahead

4 of 5 Celts starters with 3+ fouls

No one should ever foul Marcus Smart...ever

Sully has cheeseburger hops

Man I'm loving these refs  (MY NOTE:  Hawk fans loving the refs.  When was the last time we saw that on this thread?)

So Kyle's missing 3 pointers shots Smart is making them Not fair.

Al's got me thinking the new contract might be worth the investment with tonight's play.

Korver washed up like a old crab shell

LOL ... Marcus Smart ... Ok 25% 3 pt shooter has 3 of them

I hate the Celtics

So fun sitting next to my wife who is from Boston after talking shit to her the whole first half

Ruh-roh someone's hurt for Boston, We're doomed!

Get him a wheelchair

Now the Celts are in WIN ONE FOR AVERY MODE

Marcus Smart ain't hurt...they'll be fine

Induction into the hawks killer club Marcus. Congrats!

Atlanta sports should be added in the dictionary as a synonym for soft.

Only Atlanta teams blow 20 pt playoff leads.

Sullinger is fat and stupid.

If Boston had Horf they'd be dominant.

The nba and their biased refs really make it tough to stay a fan of basketball at times

Looks like all people named Isaiah Thomas are pieces of shit.

Get the ball out if Thomas hands

Isaiah's mom works for the league

I wonder how Isiah Thomas will get a foul called on the next possession

So the genius Stevens draws up a 3pt play for Smart

Man Boston is scary when .. They go on a run

This is gonna be a tough series! I need some pills

I honestly blame ATL sports for the fact that I'm a borderline alcoholic

Barry finna get fired, criticized Saint Stevens

Evan Turner think he Big Shot Bob

Thomas expected an and 1 call But he expects that in the layup line, so grain of salt.

I think he's gotten enough calls for today

Lord Celtics just go away and regroup at the Hilton

Why is Sullinger so fat? He's like the Pablo Sandoval of basketball.

It's the great chowder up there

The NBA: where you can have an orange Mohawk, the last name Smart, and nobody calls attention to it.

Yep Celtics comeback gave Jon Barry a chance to heap praise on C's on espn

I think Boston movement wears Kyle down

Still don't see how this game ended soooo close?

Boston kept fighting.

But whatever a win against this crap Boston team is a win

White American basketball players over 6'8" are not good.

Bird was okay...

19 point lead and almost choked

67 points given up in second half….is that Boston’s ‘best shot’ or the start of our defensive problems? 67! 67!

Boston will be very confident in Game 2.

Bradley going down changes the series though. There is no one to guard Teague. If Bradley is there, we probably lose this game.

How long does it take a hamstring to heal? Do you guys think Bradley will be able to play on Tuesday?

If they can treat it well and right away he can play Monday I think

Bradley has never been one to be able to play thru injury though

I wish I was more excited about this win But I’m not.

We threw the WAS game to avoid Miami at all costs and it paid off big time.

Not sure I'd be so excited.  They played bad and still almost beat us.  They are a dangerous team.
