End of 3rd Q: C's ahead 105-92. It was a 25 point game just 2 minutes ago.
Gordon Hayward had been injured by his neck on a clear shoulder hit by Jason Collins just one minute after checking in.

It's a disastrously 3 point game with 7'25" to go: 109-106 C's.
C's had been ahead 103-78 with 2 min to left in the 3rd Q, getting outscored 28-6 in the following 6,5 minutes. Awful calls (and obvious non-calls) by the refs also helped.

Atlanta made it a tie game at 112, and then we lost the ball. And then Smart showed up, stole the ball, initiated the fast break and a Jaylen 3 gave us a breather. Jaylen also took a calculated charge on Vince Carter on the next play and we are leading 117-112 with 4min to play, and Morris to use 2 ft's.
The news? Tommy hates the refs.

C's win the game 129-120 after too many brainfarts I won't even mention. Smart, Irving, Brown, Morris and Tatum seemed like our best players out there.

Cs very fortunate to come away with a W. Horrible execution with the game on the line, ahead and needing to eat some clock.
And they are turning to ball over and taking stupid shots, giving the Hawks life.
Not pretty at all.
Up 25 in the 3rd and having to fight for their lives in the 4th.
I don't get it.... OUCH!!!!!!

Why did we lose the lead? Will watch it when i get home. Just by the boxscore, kyrie shot alot of 3s. I guess he is getting ready to start gunning in the playoffs which would be a shame.. I see a pattern here against young PGs, we cant contain them, Fox, Young etc etc

Kyrie was fine, after he got benched for a breather, our bench unit lost all the lead all of a sudden. We were not able to hit the net, and also fouled on almost every possession (either that or the Hawks hit a 3).
Smart looked tremendously good by the way, and we needed all his heroics to be honest.

Cs seem to lose serious BBIQ points when the game is up for grabs. Game announcer Dominique Wilkins kept shrieking.... "What are the Celtics thinking?" when the crazy shooting and TO's began with Cs comfortably ahead ans simply needing to take time off the clock.
UGH!!!
Teams reflect the style and character of their best players at crunch time, for better or for worse.
KI is our best player by far.
That the Cs would begin to play stupidly... does that somehow reflect on Kyrie of "Flat Earth" fame?
Seems like it to me.
Kyrie certainly sets the tone... or the lack of tone.
Either that or KI has a death wish.

Awesome defense by Smart.
He has the toughness and know how of a 2nd story burglar.

Thanks for all the updates Kivancb...went to the beach, been raining here (San Diego) for forty days and forty nights (honestly, more like 100, seriously)...truly biblical...everybody was there and it was super nice...the winter here was the most rain in something like seventy years...we needed it and I had tons of indoor work (carpentry) so it was pretty groovy...but sure was good to warm up today...and caught a great wave...and rode it well considering that I have not been in the water in forever...
Happy St. Patrick's day for all you crazy Irishmen! (Everybody is Irish on St. Paddy's...)
