Feed still messing up really bad and it is getting irritating!!! Al hits the second FT to give the Celts an 8 point lead. Johnson hits a 3 to cut the lead to 5. PP misses a jumper and Hawks rebound. Childress drives to the basket and Al draws the charge. West hits a jumper from the foul line. Lue misses a 3 and Childress gets an O rebound. It looked like it missed the rim and should have been a shot clock violation but the refs gave them a fresh 24. Hawks shot blocked by Al who keeps it alive to Ricky and Celts miss a jumper that goes out of bounds. Williams front rims a 3 and Ricky chases down the rebound and passes inside to Tony who misses a layup at the buzzer. Celts lead by 7 50-43 at the half.

Here's to hoping that Tony Allen plays tonight!!! You got your wish, young man! Already, I see the difference in energy, passion, and emotion on this team. With Tony Allen in the game, the Celtics went from -4 to +8 at the half...... Enough said.

Other notes:
Blount has more turnovers than points and rebounds combined - enough said.
Raef LaFrentz missed two bunnies - but boxed out that Turkish PF
Orien Greene or O'Greene as I call him impressed me again.
Celtics got after the Hawks a little bit in the 2nd qtr for some control of the game. But don't run away saying things will be OK. Atlanta has beaten Indiana and San Antonio this year along with us.
I wish for any coach except Doc Rivers.
I want to see Perk in the 2nd half instead of Blount.
I will not be watching the Celtics @ Wizzards tomorrow due to the Patriots game. I'll tape it though.
The eyes of Texas are upon everybody - what a great Rose Bowl that was.
Does everyone understand why I am a Tony Allen fan?

Greene underneath to Allen who misses a layup and Hawks come up with it. Hawks miss and Greene goes to the floor to get the rebound and hits a jumper on the other end.

Raef snags the rebound and Pierce's 3 point shot at the buzzer is good to tie the game at 79.

The Celtics continue to be victims of opponents good play and their own lack of confidence.
Pierce has not come out in the 2nd half. Tony Allen is not in game shape, yet.
This is the 1st of a back to back and 4 games in 5 nights.
The Celtics have to pull this game out.

A great lively sequence - Tony Allen active inside and finishing.
Raef LaFrentz with a block to O'Greene to RD for the flying slam.
Good game going.
