CELTICS GREEN BLOG by and for boston celtics fans: Comments from the Other Side

Here are comments found around the Hawks boards during Game 2 against the Celtics. Most of their posts were talking about how bad Bibby is and how he should be quiet as well as how bad their coach is and should be fired. They realize that their team is over matched in this series, they still have hope that maybe the Hawks can pull out a game in Atlanta.

Bibby will be a marked man tonite for calling the Boston fans bandwagoners

Really no surprise since they are the best team in the NBA. It just gets old when people say they've been long time Boston fans in every sport when if they werent good they wouldn't be. Glad to hear someone speak up about it because they seemed quiet on TV.

Being a New Yorker it pains me to admit this, but Boston sports fans are some of the most die hard, live and breath for your team, sports fans around. Bibby doesn't know what he is talking about.

Well I'm guessing there will be a TON of those "bandwagon" fans in our building this Saturday night, probably at LEAST half the building. Maybe even more. Game 3 still isn't sold out. What does that make "Hawks fans?"

Mike Bibby will have a huge game tonight

I think Bibby is actually afraid to bring the ball up the court against Rondo because of how much pressure he puts on the ball.

Where is Ivey when you need him? Give a good punch to Rondo

The Hawks have to play a near perfect game to beat the Celtics...

I don't think we have to play a perfect game to beat the Celtics just a consistent one. The only question is if we can play consistent.

Horford was the best player on the floor last night. He out performed KG/Perkins on both ends.

Bibby made an unintelligent comment about the Boston fans so he's going to be heckled Wednesday. Deservingly so, I don't understand why he would want to add fuel to the fire.

Its so depressing to play Boston, their defense has NO holes.

OK..we can even up the series tonight!!
We had game one jitters...but now, we need to buckle down and play to our strengths. RUN....RUN....RUN....we give teams problems with our athleticism, and we need to speed the pace up tonight because Boston definitely wants to run a half-court offense

By the way...Acie can kill Cassell off the dribble. He really should play more...once he hits his groove, he will cause havoc out there. Am I the only one who sees this? If Rondo can learn to shoot, so can he.

Right now, this game is looking just like the regular season home game against them. Their bench is in and we're getting destroyed, mostly by Sam Cassell.

This might be the biggest mismatch in NBA playoff history.

Why did they leave, of all people, RAY ALLEN, open?

There is no way in HELL Sam Cassell should be out playing Mike Bibby????? How many open shots can you give Ray Allen and Paul Pierce????

How do you possibly miss open layups like Marvin Williams is missing right now. Chris Paul will haunt this franchise for the rest of there History. The guy is the MVP of the league and we got a guy who cant even hit layups

The Celtics might be better but there playing there A game and the Hawks are just not playing sound fundamental ball they could be in this game if they did.

Wouldn't matter if the Hawks were playing their 'A' game or not.
The Celtics have three playoff-savvy HOFers on their roster desperate for a championship, solid team defense, and a good bench.

Al Horford is being guarded by Leon Powe. Go to that? Nah.
Marvin Williams has Ray Allen on him. Go to that? Nah.
We go to Josh Smith who has the DPOY on him....why don't we run THOSE plays.

Kenny Smith making fun of us (our offense). The rest are joining in.

Kenny Smith is a Knicks' announcer, so he'd know what a bad offense looks like.

I'm tired of the Celtics getting every long rebound.

Bibby gonna get booed in Atlanta

Ya think the Suns wished they had Rondo instead of $3M?

This game is so unwatchable, they ran out of things to talk about. They had to bring in Joe Joe White to kill time....

Let me get my tissues out since Josh Smith was just knocked to the ground. I think I'm going to head to the Boston board and complain religiously about it. Boston fans should respect us as Hawk fans and tell us how sorry they are

Did Perkins just cheer on the bench when Smith fell?

What's the purpose of Boston leaving there starters in there? It would be a great time for a hard foul.

Maybe we should try to hire Tom Thibodeau as our next head coach?

Not a bad idea. I give more credit to him for the Boston's season than to Rivers.

Smith just took a charge on Big Baby in garbage time

Boston chants "RON-DO'S BE-TTER" at Mike Bibby

After making comments in the Atlanta Journal Constitution about the Cetlics fans being 'bandwagon jumpers,' Mike Bibby saw no end to the mocks and boos in Bean Town.

The Hawks managed to lose 8 straight quarters in the playoffs. I've never seen that before. Gotta give credit to Boston..they dominated as expected. I do hope some one smacks KG in games 3 or 4 though. He either has some kind of disorder or he tries way too hard to come off as a tough guy. It takes some one like Anthony Peeler to bring him down to Earth sometimes. Rondo is also a baller...I liked him as a prospect but there's no way I thought he would be a better pro than Marcus Williams.

That Boston team is just incredible. We are throwing everything we have at them and they are just systematically beating us.

Expect the Hawks to play better at home unless they've lost their confidence or the coach does some idiotic stuff. I'm hoping that our Hawks fight tooth and nail not to get swept.

Bibby needs to shut up. Nothing worse than a guy who talks a lot of smack off the court but looks like a fool on the court. Kind of like Stevenson calling LeBron overrated.

I'm also positive Bibby is letting the crowd get to him.

Talk about getting schooled! We are getting SCHOOLED. Gotta do better at Phillips

Two blow out losses where the big three didn't do much damage. We are [censored] jokes. Now I have to go into the office tomorrow and get laughed at all day. These guys look like streetball players that got together 10 minutes before the game and decided they wanted to play the Celtics. DAMN!!!!!!!

It's a shame that you can't limp into the playoffs with a losing record at the 8 spot and play the team in the 7th spot - now that would make it competitive. Nope - you gotta play the #1 seed with the best record in the NBA. Bottom line is...we play good and they play average and they still beat us by 10+ points. They have a considerably better starting five and a considerably better bench and a considerably better coach.
