Because he was shooting horribly(getting frustrated) and just made 5 straight points plus 2 great defensive plays.

Smith didn't really shut down KG. KG took his regular shots they just didn't fall today. Most of them bounced around the rim before going out.

KG rarely got the shot he wanted. Few of them were high percentage. Smith has a good history against KG beyond just his time with the Celtics. That's why I don't know why Horford has spent so much time guarding him this year.

Anyways, Celtics just held serve. Hawks are taking both in Atlanta. :D

Those shots you are saying aren't high percentage is what he usually likes though and he makes most of them.

Celtics did what they had to do all right. The Hawks have a couple of more chances to show that they deserve to be in the playoffs.

The officials made the game unwatchable. How can you call all those crap touch fouls in a playoff game? Bibby got about 8 free throws as pure gifts. Terrible.

One way or another, the officials do their best to ruin the NBA product.

You Boston fans aren't willing to give any credit. Whatever you guys say. :rofl: KG didn't look comfortable at all and it affected him when he was open. He changed his shot on multiple occasions. But I guess he's the only offensive player in the league who likes that. :wink:

They deserve to be in the playoffs because they have the 8th best record in the East. They have two more games to prove they aren't completely (Please Use More Appropriate Word) and heartless, though.

KG shoots those shots every game. Atlanta has some very nice pieces, but KG did pretty much what KG wanted to do. If you want Atlanta to take credit for the shots not falling then thats fine, but those are his shots.

Garnett takes bad shots? What about the Hawks?

They are probably going to have to break 80 if they expect to win a game in this series. Tionight they got about 20 gift free throws and they still couldn't break 80.

Their good shots aren't even reliable. They probably figured they would have more success throwing up crap while trying to draw fouls.
