Stop fouling at the end of the quarter!

Pretty pathetic end to the half for us. I'll take the 10 points though.

Is it just me or did every single possible marginal call that half go to Atlanta for some reason?

I dont know what the numbers are but it did seem pretty favorable towards the Hawks.

yeah, nba wants ratings higher is my only guess. if the call is close, it goes the hawks way.

The foul on pierce should have been flag 1.

only reason we r not up 30 is fouls.

Did I just hear that Pierce is injured?

Smith gave him a hard foul at the beginning of the game, trying to rough him up. Pierce has a back strain.

Just seems like Bibby trips over his own feet and falls into the lane, and they come up with a foul. Powe does a pretty good job drawing three charges, and they are all called blocks. Perkins ducks in and its a charge. Johnson ducks his shoulder into Allen and sends him flying and its play on. Boston gets some momentum going, and they find an off the ball foul somewhere to put Atlanta on the line.

Foul shots are 20-12 Atlanta - but it isn't so much the stats. Just seems that every time that a call could go either way, it goes to Atlanta.

Posey blowing the lay-up turned into a five-point swing. The two Boston should have had, the one of two that Big Baby gave them going over the back on the rebound, and the two more that Atlanta got on the end because there was enough time for two possessions.

Classy. Hope he's fully healthy by the next series.

Just stop fouling. They scored half of their points from the free throw line. It is ridiculous!

It's not like the guys are fouling on purpose, some of the calls are questionable..

Keep shooting, Bibby

Bibby's family probably has bags on their head if they are at the game.

KG shouldn't be trying to pick up Perk. We don't need another guy with a bad back!

If we can get a 5th on Josh Smith...

DJToLarry · Post #137 » by **DJToLarry** » Thu Apr 24, 2008 1:55 am

Rondo's shot is really looking good. Nice to see all his work paying off.

francishsu · Post #138 » by **francishsu** » Thu Apr 24, 2008 1:57 am

Seems like they've given up.

Joyeuse · Post #139 » by **Joyeuse** » Thu Apr 24, 2008 2:00 am

Frankly I don't think the Celtics are trying that hard either.

He's getting closer and closer to showing 3 point range.
