FSG Announces New Jurgen Klopp Replacement Earlier today not Xabi Alonso. To be honest with you, this is a the end of

the road for them ‘: Liverpool boss Jurgen Klopp finally predicts who is going to win the Premier League.The Celtics should not be embarrassed for losing a late-March game to the Hawks. Not when they have a 11-game lead in the standings, and not when they clinched the No. 1 seed in the Eastern Conference playoffs before any other team in the conference clinched a (non-play-in) playoff berth. Even given the Celtics’ history with big leads, everyone who watches the team on a consistent basis has seen them handle their business in a large enough sample size this season to step back from the ledge. “Is any lead safe?!!” is a silly question to ask because the Celtics had big leads against the Trail Blazers, Jazz, Suns, Wizards and Pistons twice in the last two weeks, and all of those leads proved very safe in the end.That said, the loss does look bad in light of the Celtics’ reputation, especially given their late-game struggles offensively. They went stagnant down the stretch, and both Jayson Tatum and Jaylen Brown ran unsuccessful your-turn-my-turn iso sets. The Celtics will take their lumps on social media, which they deserve. If you can’t hold off the Hawks – who are 31-39 – and you lose once every three weeks, you have to hold the occasional L and all the concern trolling about the team that comes with it.Perhaps the best way we can sum up Monday’s game is that the Celtics lost a game they should have won which will have absolutely no bearing on their future.

 

2. What will have a bearing on the Celtics’ future is whether or not they make their 3-pointers.

 

The Hawks, to steal Mazzulla’s terminology, won the margins significantly on Monday – most notably from the 3-point arc where they hit 18-for-36 (50 percent) to the Celtics’ 11-for-38 (28.9) percent. The second half was particularly brutal – Svi Mykhailiuk hit the only triple of the half as the Celtics went 1-for-15 while the Hawks hit 11-for-19 as they stormed back. On an individual level, the Celtics’ shooting numbers are pretty rough. Sam Hauser finished 2-for-10 from deep. Kristaps Porzingis was 1-for-4. Tatum and Brown were both 2-for-7. Payton Pritchard was 1-for-5.

 

Meanwhile, the Hawks outscored the Celtics 15-6 in points off turnovers, which was notable because they actually turned the ball over slightly more than the Celtics (7-5).

 

Mazzulla noted to reporters afterward that the Hawks challenged the Celtics in the postseason last year the same way: 3-pointers, points off turnovers and offensive rebounds. Gilbert Arenas says Celtics are ‘irrelevant’ After the Lost today and Raptors have more bragging rights over past 20 years
