Boston Celtics vs. Atlanta Hawks - Open Game Thread: Game 3

Tonight I'm looking for the Celtics to be more like the Spurs than the Hornets, Jazz, Cavs and Magic. Although ultimately I just don't want Boston to emulate Detroit. Thankfully the Celtics are an incredibly hungry team. That was definitely evident from game one of the regular season through December. It reappeared again on the Texas Triangle trip and the home rematches against New Orleans and Phoenix. However, Doc Rivers seemed to limit that killer instinct a bit by monitoring minutes and integrating Sam Cassell and P.J. Brown. Well Celtics right now, even with the new additions and the improved play of Rajon Rondo and Leon Powe, remind me more of the squad that jumped out to a 29-3 start. Long story short I see the Celtics pulling this one out.

Atlanta

Atlanta’s home crowd is usually pathetic (I’m from Atlanta originally) but it’s their first playoff game in nearly a decade so there’s no telling how the turnout might be. It could be a bunch of Celtics fans with the Hawk faithful or it could be a bunch of rabid, crazed, Hawks fan. I’ll be interested in seeing this. A friend in the area an hour or so ago told me there really isn’t a buzz around Phillips Arena.

Not as easy

I think were going to win this game but it wont be as big of a blowout. And the noise volume will be nothing like it was in beantown.

Bad Refs

The refs were horrible last night, every time I see Violet Palmer ref a celtics game she always ruins our flow. She has to be the worst ref.

Selfish Play

I was more concerned by how selfish the C’s played. At times the ball movement was beautiful. But those times were few and far between. Doc Rivers was entirely correct when he said each guy tried to win the game by himself. That is not a recipe for success.
