This seems reasonable.Regular season trolling isn’t for you. Playoff trolling only.

It makes them look even more hopeless, like when a big brother lets a little brother make a few shots.Yeah not sure why the Hawks tried their hardest when the Celtics were already done. Kind of a dick move.
That's the difference between a legitimate contender and just a playoff team. The latter is great at maybe 1 thing, good in some aspects, and suck at others. The former is great at a few, good at the rest and suck at virtually none.Didn't love the rebounding, and a few too many careless turnovers, but otherwise they were pretty solid. Atlanta isn't some horrendous team. They are basically average, and beating average teams relatively easily is a job well done in the NBA.
It's a beautiful thing. Shame the Sox aren't on pace to end by 9:30, slackers.Over by 9:10, gotta love having the NBATV game
What is he worth? Can't win a ring with that guy as your best (or maybe even second best) player.I bet Atlanta moves on from Trae this off-season. Something just isn’t right there.
Unless the Hawks figure out how to both dominate the paint and outshoot the Celtics from three, they probably won’t win a game. Young is just too poor a defender to have a solid team d3fensevagainst a versatile offensive juggernaut like the CelticsI guess I could squint and see Atlanta treating Game 3 like Game 7 of the NBA Finals and stealing it, but then Boston wins Game 4 and Game 5 by like 50 at home so meh.
edit: seems like it was covered and more.I was joking in the sense that I want the best player on the Celtics to murder my family, yes.
I was not joking in that every time I turn on a Celtics game (which granted, isn't often), I get the sense that Tatum doesn't have a killer instinct, as good as he is.
Oh I agree, I think the Celtics win G3 and then as Scal says it's 1-2-3 Cancun in G4. Just that if the Hawks were to win a game it would probably be on Friday.Unless the Hawks figure out how to both dominate the paint and outshoot the Celtics from three, they probably won’t win a game.

Atlanta wins the three batter by three points, on 15 more shots, but Boston goes plus 20 in the paint. All those long misses and bad boxing out allowed the Hawks to grab 19 rebounds, to only 5 for Boston.
The producer sagely recommended that approach instead of, "Don't bother tuning in next time, this baby's over".Congrats. You only lost by 13 when we weren’t trying at the end. The Hawks local announcers were pretending like those late turnovers actually meant something going into Game 3.
They've done it making it look more or less pretty easy as well... I tuned in when they were down by 10 in the first quarter.. they Celtics were still at 63% chance to win even then.I don't give a shit how good or bad Atlanta is. They are an NBA team that made the playoffs, so obviously, they've played well at points.
It is hard to consistently beat anybody in the playoffs by double digits, and the C's have basically done exactly what they've needed to so far.
Meanwhile, GS is down 0-2 to the Kings, the Cavs need to finish this one off to get to 1-1 and needing a win on the road, the Bucks and Suns may be in must win situations in their games tonight and tomorrow, and the Grizzlies too.
Be happy folks, this is about as easy it gets in April.
I hope to see that in action. Would love to see the C's and the B's hoist up some banners.I appreciate that, hopefully you just saw Tatum make a block and then end the game with that dunk. Dude is 12/21 tonight for 29 points, 10 rebounds and 6 assists. I haven't always been the biggest Tatum fan, and when he gets into his head that the refs are screwing him, he can whine a bit, but he has the killer instinct that superstars have. There is no doubt about that.
It would be cool to do this on consecutive days in JuneI hope to see that in action. Would love to see the C's and the B's hoist up some banners.
In the Garden.It would be cool to do this on consecutive days in June
ExactlyIn the Garden.
Exactly
although I believe currently both NBA and NHL have game 7 on 6/18
can we have both games same day? (It IS a Sunday)
Wow, good call. The nerves going in would be entirely out of control for me.If the Bs and Cs both won championships in the Garden on the same day (say, the Cs in the afternoon and the Bs at night), I'd retire as a sports fan. Nothing more left to see.
Yeah, please God do NOT let this happen.Wow, good call. The nerves going in would be entirely out of control for me.
