Fucking atrocious.

1. what about the stat below it

2. Most of those are wildly random long ass rebounds from them jacking up a wildly bad shot and then it just happens to bounce back to them and they hit an open one.

   Sometimes the basketball gods are cruel and when it came to wacky rebounds/deflections they were just atrocious.

3. This is a good part random chance because they bricked 28 3’s which lead to long rebounds, scrambling and more second chance points

4. Porzingis was abysmal on the boards.

5. Our defensive rebounding has been poor since the ASB. Hoping it’s just an effort thing because the Pacers, Knicks, and the Heat will crash the glass like maniacs

6. That’s the real reason we lost. A lot of it is effort but also Hawks got lucky bounces.

7. all effort

8. Uh oh, watch out. You’re gonna be called a doomer for this.

9. I really think Al should close games

10. These go hand in hand though, the hawks team stay at the rim on offense to focus on offensive rebounds but when they don’t get the rebound they give up a fast break because their defense isn’t back and thats what the Celtics took advantage of, they didn’t win but not just because of the rebounds

11. Joe’s clear that the o boards were the problem in post game interview. In his words “that’s the game right there.” Disappointing for sure

12. Nobody got injured!

    Take the W.

13. You could say 2 – 27 Fast Break points is fucking atrocious too. If you are leaking out you are going to give these up.

14. I wonder what the Celtics will do at the end of the game for the last shot. Hmm… I wonder if Tatum will dribble in place for 10 seconds while the rest of the team stands around before Tatum clunks a contested shot off the rim. Same thing every single time.

15. Do people realize that there’s a trade off between offensive rebounding and fast break defense? The Hawks crashed the boards and got lots of second chance points, but got murdered in transition because of it. The image attached here tells the story.

16. Another game where Kornet just isn’t physical enough. He has a great run, but then the Kornet of old comes back.

17. Horrible loss. They were on a back to back and had 10 times more energy. If everyone played with half the energy of PP we would be fine. Unfortunately they don’t.

18. The team has seen better days

19. You could also look at the Fast Break Points (and even greater differential).. and say the same thing 😃

20. I can’t wait till we get our ass worked by the Nuggets. Who knows.. maybe we’ll choke just trying to get out of the East. I have 0 faith in the Celtics getting the job done this year. All of their bullshit is still there for the world to see. We’ll all see come April/June.

21. I mean, look at the fast break points. Both points (and 3PA) show Atlanta were free to take their time on their possessions, get the boards and keep jacking shots up – they didn’t need to move fast or get the breaks. Those offensive boards don’t keep happening they need to focus on shot selection more, their offense was free to do what they wanted this game.

22. Yeah, Knicks or Heat winning the East

23. That and our last possesion shot selection

24. Only thing this team lacks is a physical big with size who is an elite rebounder. Could be queta next year, but for some reason they were averse to playing him this year and converting his contract. Kornet was definitely better this year than last, but the one thing you want from him is to be able to rebound like he’s seven foot, and he just cannot with his athleticism. Tillman is too short to be a force on the glass, and has also gotten pushed around by big seven footers at times. Can’t teach size or athleticism, and they are lacking a bit in those areas at center/big
