What an awful loss by the Celtics! Fortunately for them, they are still pretty far ahead in the East standings. Additionally, WHAT AN AMAZING EFFORT BY THE Trae Young-less Hawks!

    Hear me and rejoice! Boston, you have the privilege of being screwed by the loss of The Great Forehead!

    Huge shoutout to the Washington Wizards for playing the second half for us so the Celtics could celebrate getting the one seedšŸ™šŸ™šŸ™

    Deandre hunter had a bargnani moment but good

    Also horford needs to stop telling other teams to call timeout

  7. BigBoyFroggy

    Iā€™ve been saying ATL owns Boston since Trae hit that game winner and while itā€™s not true, I will continue to say it.

    This help my Jrue Holiday for MVP agenda/s

    That Jaylen Brown possession was so incredibly bad

  10. Holiday and White were invisible out there tonight

  11. That Hunter dagger was almost a Bargnani moment šŸ˜‚

    Somehow the Celtics have topped losing to a Lakers team without AD and Lebron.

    here come the thinkpieces but at the end of the day it doesnā€™t matter what type of lead you had, no team is winning a game where they get outscored by 30 from deep in the second half. Hawks went 11/19 from 3 while the Celtics went 1/15

    GG Hawks weā€™ll see you Thursday

  14. i think going 1/18 from 3 in the second half was probably not ideal, but i am not a basketball doctor.

    Man watching this on NBA tv this result is hilarious. The Celtics announcers were unbearable just ripping the Hawks and talking about how good the celts are. Just a hilarious outcome.

  16. God damn what a fucking comeback what a baller dagger 3

  17. thestallion11

    Nah this is genuinely insane , we were starting Vit Krejci with half the team out. Jaylen Browns last possession was genuinely awful.

    Watch the Celtics beat us by 40 in a couple of days though

  18. VexoftheVex

    Celtics made 1 of their last 18 three attempts

    Thatā€™s just the brutal reality of being a three-point heavy team

  19. myhellcatgotRepod

    Get the FUCK out of my city Boston

    *checks schedule*

    Get the FUCK out of my city after Thursday night Boston

    Has any team blown more 20+ point leads than the Celtics this year?

  21. Wooden-Ad1987

    That Deandre Hunter dagger belongs to the r/nonononoyes sub

  22. The_Truth_Hurts_Yu

    Dre pulled a Ron Artestby taking a 3 point shot up 1 with the ball and no shot clock

  23. Down 30 comeback is the biggest this season right? Thats fucking crazy without Trae too

  24. FireworkFuse

    Celtics should be seriously embarrassed. We are so bad and injured

  25. GG Hawks

    Congrats to the C haters who get to feast tonight. Hopefully thats our one braindead game of the year. It’s at least the exception not the rule this year so far.

  26. ihateeuge

    lmao starting that big ass line up just to lose to Vƭt Krejčƭ

  27. This team is like a psychotic girlfriend. I canā€™t get off this roller coaster

  28. Slashers23

    This was a fun game to watch as the Hawks gradually made the comeback. The Hawks never put their head down and kept on fighting to get that win, great team win for them.

  29. DorkandPoon

    I didnā€™t even watch the game. I just came here to say FUCK BOSTON

  30. Elway7Sharpe84

    Is this the biggest blown lead ever involving professional sports teams from Boston and Atlanta?
