Alert Alert. AL has shown up. He now has a double double in the first half with 45% shooting and 2 blocks. We will completely ignore the 5 TOs and the fact that J Smith is 4 for 4 shooting with 4 steals and blocks.

You also fail to mention that Josh Smith got all his points off of layups coming off turnovers. He hasn't scored against Al. But i do agree with you on the blocks. Al should do a Pump fake now and then to throw Smith off.

Wait wait wait. If Josh Smith has 4 steals, and AL has 5 TOs, I have to assume Josh stole the ball from AL then scored a layup, so that sort of is scoring on AL. I also might lay off Perk seeing as how he is probably hurt and winded since he only played 7 mins in the first half.

It's just very frustrating that the first 10 minutes of the game the only players that show up are Gomes and GG, then the rest of the game it's only Rondo, GG, and AL. And only 4 assists in the first half. 0 shots for Bassy. What the heck is that?

Ok Bassy has showed up. At least in shooting sort of. Rondo has faded.

The Atlanta guards are much taller and now they are taking advantage of the celtics. Boston has no choice because of injuries and Green being in foul trouble they have to play Telfair, Rondo and Ray.

Yeah Beefy. Guys like Josh Childress are having an easy time guarding guys like Ray. I also think I saw Smith guard Bassy quite well.

Powe should be in there instead of Gomes. On almost every possession it is one and done. Our shots aren't falling and we should have a rebounder in there to give us second chances.

Al took a foul just before the time out and that was his 5th. Hawks inboundM Williams misses and the rebound comes out to Bassy who starts to dribble up the floor with 3 seconds left and doesn't get off a shot. Score at the end of 3 is Atlanta 76 Boston 66.
