A close one

Posted by Greg Lee, Globe Staff April 28, 2008 10:14 PM

The Hawks have not buckled under the pressure by scoring the quarter's first seven points, though they trail by one point with 5:53 left in the game.

It's the Josh Smith-Joe Johnson show as they have accounted for all of the Hawks 13 points in the first half of the quarter.

  1. Nice to see the Celts are getting hosed on just about every call in the 4th...pitiful officiating, David Stern should be appalled.

  1. Hello Doc Rivers - Let Pierce guard Joe Johnson and let Allen guard Childress
    Johnson is overpowering Allen - wake up Rivers!!!!

  1. Honestly what was Doc Rivers thinking, Johnson & Smith killed them for the entire quarter and he makes no adjustments at all.

  1. The Celtics looked OLD tonight. At least the original "Big 3" won championships before looking old.

  1. Doc rivers is an unbelievable moron, for one thing the celtics go completely cold in the 4th quarter, and any idiot would have run something for Ray Allen who was having a good game, which Doc doesn't do. Then on the other end he keeps Allen on Joe Johnson who is eating him alive! Simply incredible.

  1. This game was a COMPLETE embarassment to the Celtics, their fans, and the city of Boston! The Celtics had the game in the bag after three quarters and then they did what Boston teams do best when it matters; they got careless and stopped playing. I hope Doc Rivers read his team the riot act after this game. They are a disgrace to the city of Boston!

  1. Doc Rivers needs to put in Tony Allen. Tony Allen needs to be in this series!

  1. Tony Allen! We want Tony Allen in this game for defense and slashing to the hoop offense. We missed his sparked tonight and game 3 also.
