All tied at 90 ------
I feel better with Tony Allen playing center for the Celtics than I do with Mark Blonut. Who shares my sentiment?

Ricky dribbles and tries to take Childress on the drive. Almost loses it but recovers and gets it to Pierce who shoots an airball at the shot clock and the Celts get called for a 24 second violation. Time out called.

Greene will inbound the ball. Pierce catches it at the top of the key and gets a wide open 3 but back rims the shot. Greene and Lue fighting on the floor for the rebound and Lue comes up with it and calls time out.

Hawks inbound on the side and Lue is fouled by West as he catches the ball. Lue makes the first. Banks in for Tony. Lue makes the 2nd to make it 5. West misses a 3 and long rebound goes out of bounds and the final score is 103 to 98.
Very very disappointing. But Greene and Allen were bright spots. We sure could have used Perk in there for some rebounding and toughness. Blount once again was a turnover machine.

Doc. What the are you doing? Your rotations are garbage.
You DO NOT play zone defense to a team that can shoot. What are you thinking? We get outrebounded in the end by Tyronne freakin Lue to lose the game because we HAVE 4 GUARDS ON THE FLOOR AND NO CENTER! I AM SO PISSED OFF RIGHT NOW. How can we expect to win any games when our coach is incompetent. I am sorry. I like Doc, he's a nice guy but Danny has got to talk to him. Perkins DNP? What the heck is that???
We lose to the Hawks? UNACCEPTABLE!
By the way, Delonte kicks ace, and good comeback game by T Allen. Too bad we LOST THE GAME!!!

Wow! What a crummy ending. All I can say is that it was Atlanta's night and it is not the Celtics season to do much.
Doc Rivers and the Celtics are losing altitude quickly as the Knicks and Toronto both soundly won their games at home and New Jersey beat Orlando.
Clearly, Blount does not fit in with the Celtics. Perkins got no time on the court and not surprisingly the Celtics backed off the Atlanta outside shooters resulting in 11 for 19 shooting from 3 point land. And so we let a Seven win team come into our house and beat us.
The Celtics continue to snatch defeat from the jaws of victory.
I guess we will be cleaning house and positioning ourselves for the lottery.
Or maybe we'll wise up and see if Perkins, Jefferson, West, Allen, and Orien Greene is our future nucleus.
I'm so disappointed in the Celtics overall this year, but I am a big Tony Allen fan.
Any takers for Blount and RD?
