How many moving screens are the Celtics allowed to get away with?

Is Garnett really allowed to push him out of bounds? And then just shove the guy out of the way on the other end? Man...

this game is over, i dont think the hawks can compete on the road in boston against the celtics

they got nothing to feel bad about though, this has been a great series, great experience, and they took the best team to 7 games....they just cant compete on the road like they have at home

What irony. Wasn't the whole Celtics board in uproar about how the refs let the Hawks shoot more FTs than the Celtics in game 6?

you expect Boston and their fans to come out with energy, right now Atlanta just needs to stay close and weather the storm. Stay semi-close and the initial energy in boston will turn into pressure.

Yeah but we do realize that the players/coach are to blame not the refs, although they really can irritate a fan. Meanwhile most people will just blame the refs and not realize the Hawks are nervous. The refs in this game are allowing much more contact than usual which is good, because who wants a series to be decided at the FT line?

Forget about the refs, the Hawks look completely lost on offense....

I've never seen so many missed layups in a 1st quarter, in my life.

A lot of it has to do with Boston's defense, but good lord, Josh Smith has had 3 or 4 layups that he's normally converted this series.

Look at KG waving at Josh Smith to come at him, only to be burned.

Hey KG, why don't we see you doing that in the 4th quarter you career loser

This should be a 4-6 point game but none of the Hawks layups are falling. They need to calm down.

Well actually on the flip side Boston has also missed their open shots and a few layups. It's opening jitters they should be gone by the second quarter. Although expect them to come back if the 4th quarter is a close.

Not surprising seeing as he's the one of the few Hawks with playoff experience.
