Matt Ryan against Atlanta. Never thought I’d see the day.


Why is Trae not wearing his seatbelt while driving again… is this a sign he’s not happy?

Cause he don't care about sh** like that. Just wants to be cool on social media and sh**. Our guy just needs to mature. Might take a while.

No matter how good or bad our season may end, at least we don't have Kyrie on our team and we aren't the Lakers.  (MY NOTE:  The key to happiness is having a good perspective on life)

Remember tonight is the tie breaker with Boston. That is why we need this game.  There is no way we finish with a better record than Boston. A tie is the only way.

We know what we want to do, and so does Boston. They can be very good at defensive scheming. I don't like this game at all.

I like how we couldn't get excited for regular season games, so we just decided to turn every game after the All-Star Break into a must-win playoff scenario.   Not sure I can live like this for 2 months, haha.

If the Hawks are a team of MEN they win this, if they are BOYS they lose.   Time to man up and dominate the league

Yeah, with that logic, if Hawks win, then he is saying that Jaylen Brown, Jayson Tatum, Marcus Smart, and Al Horford are "boys"?

Brad Stevens has been spackling Boston's shallow depth chart with ten-days (Malik Fitts, Kelan Martin) and two-ways since his midseason deals, but Udoka only goes nine-players-deep in a pinch anyway, and they're all active ahead of tonight's contest. Newest two-way signee Matt "Not The Human Cap Hit" Ryan joins Brodric Thomas are on G-League duty.  (MY NOTE:
"spackling Boston's shallow depth chart".  LOL.  Great description)

Forget the Celtics-they're old and the Hawks will officially pass them by in a month once the playoffs begin.

This could be one of those days we look back on and say, that was an awesome start to the month of March.  Trae on TNT with the Celts sitting in our 6th spot.  I like our chances

This game feels huge . Celtics have been way way way better than us but I have a good feeling about this tonight

TNT commentator really said “coming up: Boston vs Trae!” Like there aren’t 16(including sharife) other players on the hawks roster

I mean lets be real, without Trae, Hawks are just a bunch of guys

I’m ready to be sad

Exert your will on them tonight Trae.   Make them DESPISE YOU!

My life is ruined if Trae doesn't drop 40

I’m ready to be depressed.   (MY NOTE:  
)

Robert Williams looks like a bigger cam reddish

Clint has bricks for hands.

Ugliest 4 minutes of basketball Ive seen in 2022. And I watched a HS girls game last week.

Marcus Smart gonna have a bad night

Why tf is horford trying so hard

Trae not gonna let Al have the ball

I miss Al

Prayers up for jaylen

Jaylen Brown might be done!!!

i hope that’s not you being happy about an injury sir

Capela makes me want to stop watching basketball

Don’t get me wrong, Celtics defense is good. But we’re shooting like sh**. And the refs are not calling sh**

Tatum should have 50 tonight

super early but man Boston defends Trae in the paint better than pretty much any team...hope Jaylen Brown is ok but won't mind if he needs to rest that one off a bit and make it a fair fight w/ JC out

Hope JB is alright. Local Wheeler high school legend

I had Jaylen Brown in a parlay to hit at least two threes. You are all welcome.

Gallo is the biggest black hole I’ve ever seen lol

Trae is gonna drop 80 today i guess

Capela i can’t wait till you’re off this team. the fact you’re 7 feet tall d**n near and can’t finish at the rim yet being paid that much is horrible

The Celtics are really f***ing bad. We’re just worse right now

Jaylen Brown is literally my favorite player on the Celtics. I really hope he is fine. It's also a devastating loss to this team that's been playing really well recently. Never good to see.

Good thing the Celtics playing just as bad

lol announcer guy shoutouts celtics defense like they are blowing us out

ALL THE WHITE BOYS IN AT THE SAME TIME WHAT THE HE**

Pretty much Adam Silvers worst nightmare. Two of the biggest stars of the matchup get injured in the first 12 minutes

I hate Leltics before and I hate them even more now. Garbage a** team.

No Trae, no W. Marcus Smart did that on purpose. He stomped on Trae last season. Punk.

Worst case scenario. I’d rather lose the game than lose Trae like that

Boston mugging our shooters on 3s and their fans booing us tf

Boston Foultics

Celtics fouling every time

See, this is why you trade for Marcus Smart at the deadline, so he doesn't do dirty sh** to your team's players

man f*** the Ltics for real, poverty franchise desperately clinging on to the past

we’re better than the Celtics with a full roster. Hunter doesn’t get in foul trouble last game and we win that too

Nate is gonna keep pressing Williams at the 3 point line?

Celtics O board = made 3 pointer

Number 12 with a very aggressive post up.  (MY NOTE:  Grant playing bully ball)

A special talent to foul the opponent with your face.

Lmfao @ that Gallo flop. Outstanding

bruh people sh** on trae's hair but wtf is derrick white wearing

Derrick white hairline starts behind his ears

Derrick white looks like Trae Young you ordered from Wish

How funny that the Hawks white bois are demolishing Boston

Boston fans: "i thought them white bois were on our side!"

You know the Celtics fans covet Gallo, Bogi and especially Kev

Celtic fans SEETHING with jealousy rn

hate the city of boston. arrogant trash people that cheer/boo when opposing team gets hurt. no class.

F*** boston. Who wants to live in there??

A very walkable city with great education and food?

Just wanted to take a second and say, “f*** horford”.

You know who hates Al Horford?   Me. I hate Al Horford.


I see why Celtics fans love Williams so much

The thing about having a switchable defensive lineup on the floor - as the Celtics do often - is that the other team can often switch against you too. The Hawks have had a lot of success against the Celtics on defense this year switching because the Celtics' bigger players (Tatum especially) don't care to punish people inside much, and it bogs down the Celtics' offense a lot. Hawks match up well with this team.

Trae should've dunked. That would've destroyed the Celtics morale.

marcus smart is such a clown lol

Lol Al pointing like it was Celtics ball and he knew he didn’t even believe it

I can't wait for Leltics to lose 8 games in a row.

Celtics look terrible on offensive, guess they become one dimensional without Brown. We’ve got to keep up the good ball movement and execution and they won’t be able to keep up.

derrick white just going for faces today

first half looks very similar to our last game In boston. First 5 mins of the 3rd will decide the game  (MY NOTE:  They were up by 14, 65-51 at the half.  We were tied, 68-68, at the 7 minute mark of the 3rd.  That's a 17-3 Celtic run to start the 3rd)

65 in the first half on the Celtics. Pretty good. Pretty pretty good.

let's get the white bois goin in the 3rd when trae is out

Tuesday night TNT crew is shockingly bad, like a full step below mediocre

Seriously the most consistently terrible third quarter team I've ever seen

I give it 3 minutes till we lose the lead

We never come out ready at the beginning of the 1st or 3rd. This should be completely expected.

Hunter is gonna cost us another game by being an elite zero-way bum smh

Celtics play very physical defense. I'm surprised they aren't getting called for more fouls

Did udoka just out-adjust Nate?

Folding like a lawn chair to start the 3rd. Exactly how we choked last game away in Boston

We suck.

Weekly 3rd Quarter Collapse

We are getting called for tiny little fouls and they don't get called for the face smacking

No one throws a lead faster than the Atlanta Hawks

Hawks 65 point first half...  "... and that is why Boston is the best defense in the league"


No matter what halftime lead we have we know it’s not safe. Teams are pretty much guaranteed to go on a run to start the 3rd. Nate is legit one of the worst coaches in the league.

We just blew a 17 point lead yaaaaaaaayyyyy

We can't do anything when they decide to play def

the refs are selling. This needs an investigation

I f***ing hate Boston

Dre being an amazing 6th man for Boston

Refs sold this quarter real hard. I wonder who paid them at halftime?

I’d like to see the van gundy brothers kneecapped

Nate should be fired right now. For malpractice.

We still have to remember that the Celtics aren’t that good and Brown is out. Quit playing like a college team in a tough road environment and we can win the game.

Im not worried cuz we own the Ltics

wow derrick white is good. if only a player of his playstyle and caliber was on the trade block recently for us to get

Seein Derrick White - a deadline addition - kill the Hawks just gets me all kinda fired up.

Derrick White made them a good team. Literally.

is van gundy interviewing for a boston assistant coaching job during this game or what?

Celtics coach actually made adjustment

They are doing this sans Brown. It’s really embarrassing.

And of course the guy being guarded by Trae gets hot. Like clockwork lol. Nate won’t adjust tho

Derrick White is a muppet

I don't want to see Nate, Hunter, Gallo and Capela after this game. They need to go

somehow derrick white's headband makes his forehead look bigger, how

Derrick White trade has been a super W for Boston. The dude is a real difference maker.

Cooked by Derrick White wtf

Celtics playing smothering defense. We’ll adjust and figure it out.

Celtics fans gonna post a video titled "you just got cooked by Derrick White"

Derrick White is basically their second superstar rn

I'm still pi**ed we didn't get derrick white

Time for hard screens on Smart

Saying Trae young isn’t a good defender is an understatement ngl

We only scored 13 points in the 3rd quarter

LMAO Derrick White has 16 pts.   Trae is giving as much points as he scores


Smart going to injure every Hawk guard. Good strategy if you can get away with it.

No matter what has happened up until this point, we should win this game. Without Brown there is no reason not to win this game.

Boston is not good at all. They won’t win a first round series. They play iso ball, and switch everything on defense. I am not impressed at all.

Agreed. Not good. We’re worse.

Boston made a big mistake putting in Pritchard. Kev gon smell that caucasian blood in the water and get activated

Routinely you’ll see that the best defenses are the ones that also get away with the most contact

Y’all mad at the commentators for praising the Celtics why would they be applauding us rn we a** lmfaoo

Hindsight but if we had somehow traded for Derrick White we'd be much better

Tatum is just Dieng with a green light

I hate life

Bogi has blood on his face. He's been hurt twice outside of that. Maybe the celtics are just dirty Jeff.

guys boston is probably just better than us. They got their D together in the 2nd half

Luckily Bogi is white or else the Boston fans would be throwing slurs at him

If we all turn the game off, will it make a sound?

Derrick White has just been exceptional for the Celtics. They are nowhere close to being as good without him.

I am straight up not having a good time

Keep in mind Celtics are doing this to us without Jalen Brown

That Tatum put back was our season in a nutshell. 3 dudes standing around him hoping one of the other 2 will stop him and just watching him score.

I’m not sure waiting for Celtics to setup their defense is the right offensive plan.

The Celtics are just a better team. When was the last big Hawks road win?

Celtics coach outcoaching Nate lol

So only the first half counted tonight right?

I play at the park and I could see if a man is about to block my shot, you’re telling me Deandre didn’t see 6’3 Marcus Smart coming behind him, just pitiful

That Smart block was the last straw.

That Smart block is about to be plastered all over

We led by 17 but we're about to lose by double digits. That's wild

So many soft pieces of sh** on this team. Physically and mentally.

At least the lakers downfall is worse than ours

We came out strong in the first two quarters. What happened

Boston was loafing. We suck

Al Horford is top 5 ugliest dudes in the league  (MY NOTE:  FWIW Al's wife is a former Miss Universe)

We honestly needed someone like Smart at the trade deadline.

I hate Marcus smart

He’s annoying but we need a player like him. One that actually tries and is physical

You see all of the hustle plays that Marcus Smart makes?

Every team needs a player like that but there aren't that many out there.  

I don't know what it is, but I really dislike Marcus Smart

udoko is defecating all over nate mcmillan. just pure outcoaching

they need a real coach, a real gm, a real SF, a real starting SG, a real starting C   new fans most of all

This team is toast. Putrid play. It's over. Ressler needs to clean house from top to bottom.

Worst part of this game is the Celtics are bad, if not just terrible on offensive.  (MY NOTE:  For the record we shot 47% on the game.  Didn't shoot well from 3 but our assist-to-turnover ratio was 60%)

Lmao what do you expect when you got Gallo at the 5 with Robert Williams out there

I d**n near forgot that Jaylen Brown basically didn't play. How sorry is this team.

This team is garbage dude

Petition to outlaw third quarters, sign below

The roster isn’t good, let’s stop fooling ourselves. We should tank and try to get better players.

Insert the “Package everybody except Trae and Player that has played fairly well for two games, but I’ll say to trade the next game” comments

Same old story with this team. Steve Van Gundy is awful on commentary though.

I used to keep track of Trae’s career comparative +/- when going head to head with dudes like Smart.  After tonight (Smart +31) he may be up 200 points lol.
