The Celtics will blow the Hawks out of the water in game 7

[Amuseddaysleeper]

oh well

[Borosai]

Probably, but it won't stop me from cheering for them. It would be an epic upset--oh so good.

[kingsfan]

:nope We should get vbookie on this, Kori? A lot of people are going to be surprised.

[Amuseddaysleeper]

I think children's dreams everywhere will be achieved if the Haws beat the Celtics in game 7

[JamStone]

I would be very surprised if they didn't. But, big ups to the Hawks for taking it that far.

[MajicMan]

The "Bustin" Celtics will choke. I guarantee it.

[QuietDynasty]

the hawks taking the celts to game 7 says alot about the team, they thought they were just gonna step in and cruise to the finals, and here are the lowly hawks putting up a fight against a so called elite team. props to the hawks for believing .....hope the celts lose game 7.....

[Amuseddaysleeper]

definitely.


and to think every hawks game I went to when I lived in Atlanta for 5 years was averaging less people than my high school football games.

If you got to the Hawks game 10 minutes early, they'd let you in for free.

Get there 20 minutes early, they even let you play for the team.

[PlayoffEx-static]

I would hope so, after fucking around and losing every road game to an 8 seed. What I'm seeing so far is that Boston isn't winning anything this year. All they did was add two playoff losers in Garnett and Allen. Vagina had two open looks at three pointers in the last minute. One of them almost missed everything. That denotes a difficult time breathing under pressure.

[JoeTait75]

+1

And a lot of veneer has been chipped from whatever aura Boston accumulated this year.

Now everyone knows they can be taken. Oh, can they be taken.

[sickdsm]

And they call Boston fans today bandwagoner's?

[ManuTim_best of Fwiendz]

Lebron will RETURN.

[NuGGeTs-FaN]

Celtics r done. even if they win now i bet they lose to the cavs

[SAtown]

And they call Boston fans today bandwagoner's?

Yes, because they are (in all sports).

[Fillmoe]

hawks hawks hawks hawks!

[Armando]

This is actually good for Boston. I am sure they thought they were going to go through the Hawks in 4 or 5 games. People forget this team is new to the playoffs. Which is why them having homecourt will be great for them.

[Pistons < Spurs]

Celtics by 25.

[sickdsm]

Not that i'm a stat whore but i can pretty much guarantee you the wolves never averaged less that a HS football game.

[armand0]

nah, they'll choke

[spursfan09]

I think this is team is good, but it is obvious they haven't been there before. Have Paul and Ray and KG ever not been the underdog? Now they have targets somewhat and I think they are starting to realize it is not easy to play as favorites. They will get it done this series. They need to start focusing better to get to the finals.

I think they have played down to their competition. Lets just chalk it up to Detroit mentality. Detroit had similiar problems with Philly.

[sickdsm]

Completely different. Detroit even when they were losing just weren't trying. There was a night and day when they picked it up.

Boston's trying hard and still spinning their wheels.

[spursfan09]

I think a few games before they have played down to the comp, but I have to believe they wanted to win this game 6 very badly. I didn't see the game though, so I'm not sure. I would imagine they wanted to get it out of the way already.

[Armando]

Meanwhile the LeBrons are resting happy they will get a tired Celtics team. I still expect the Celtics to beat Cleveland but is going 6 or 7 games.

[Pistons < Spurs]

I agree. But this being their first time feeling playoff pressure is also part of it. They obviously haven't figured out how to knuckle down for the last 5 minutes and close it out. And a lot of that comes from experience, and confidence knowing you've done it before in pressure situations. Boston doesn't have that blanket to wrap them selves under. They're learning, and will probably be better down the stretch from this adversity.

[Manu'sMagicalLeftHand]

Game 7, final score:
Hawks 128
Celtics 64
Garnett 2-26, 1ast, 2rb, 0blk, 0stl, 6TO, 6 PF

Riots a go-go between drunk micks.

[01Snake]

Steven A. just WENT OFF on the Celtics. haha

[Armando]

Steven A. just WENT OFF on the Celtics. haha



I agree with him though. :lol

[DDS4]

If there's a god, I hope the Hawks close it out.

No fucking way this Celtics team is winning the championship this year.

[m33p0]

i think they believed all they had to do to win was show up. welcome to the playoffs, boston!

total number of games-that-matter won: 0

i'll give the Cs a 51% advantage just because they're at home.

[NuGGeTs-FaN]

I bet Bibby finally shows up and takes the Hawks to the 2nd rd :smokin

[Strike]

Steven A. just WENT OFF on the Celtics. haha

Shocking! Stephen A. riding the bandwagon.

Hmm. Never would have thought.

[m33p0]

I bet Bibby finally shows up and takes the Hawks to the 2nd rd :smokin
hawks will have to find a way to stop bibby from taking shots to have a chance to win.

[Armando]

Stern is not letting the Hawks ruin his plans for a Lakers/Celtics Finals. I see alot of calls for Boston on Sunday.

[Mavs<Spurs]

Can Stern rescue his beloved Celtics?

Can he arbitrarily apply the rules only to the Suns and the Hawks, but not to the Celtics in game 7?

[CharlieMac]

If anyone on that Celtic's roster reads that they have an average win margin of 22 points at home in this series, they're fucked.

[Armando]

Doc Rivers seat is getting warmer

[reck21]

Well...

I was actually worry about the Celtics..but no more.

I was thinking that if the Boston Celtics make it to the finals..which will probably happen and if The Spurs do so as well I'm now confident that the Spurs will take it all.

If the Hawks can give "the best team" on the NBA hell, imagine what proven champs can do!

Oh boy.

Go Hawks..against all odds.

[Amuseddaysleeper]

Can anyone sum up what Stephen A said?


I can't believe I'm actually asking for Stephen A's thoughts

In a nutshell he said is disgraceful that a 37 win team forced a Game 7 in Boston.

[reck21]

And that they (Celtics) deserves to lose if they indeed do for letting this happen.

The other two dudes there had to actually stop him from further ripping on the Celtics. lol

[theMUHMEshow]

Game 7? LMFAO, the Celtics will sweep the Hawks!!


...shit, wait?

[Capt Bringdown]

I thought SA Smith wanted to have a sex change so that he could bear Garnett's love child.

How the worm turns!

[BUMP]

biggest upset ever if it happened

[NBA Junkie]

The only thing that will keep the Hawks in game 7 is that the game is on ABC, where blowouts seldomly occur.

[timvp]

You know DFW will be tuned in. The Mavs would be off the hook forever.

[E20]

Cavs would beat Boston. Cavs will likely be in the ECF and maybe Finals again.

[MaNuMaNiAc]

You know DFW will be tuned in. The Mavs would be off the hook forever.

:lol yeah, I can already see it.

"Celtics concede game 7 to Hawks due to good sportsmanship"

in other news "Dallas demands apology from world for choker label"

[Amuseddaysleeper]

LOL

The one guy left outside of Boston that is probably wanting the Celtics to win game 7

[Strike]

Can anyone sum up what Stephen A said?

Something like "blah blah blah blah i'm on the bandwagon of whatever team is winning blah blah blah blah."

[Deuces88]

Final Score (After Ray Allen's shot rims out
Hawks 112
Celtics 110

Oh wait, Stern has a new rule that no one heard about yet. Joe Johnson looked menacingly at Garnett and it counts as 5 technical shots, so Celtics squeeze out a win at the line. That'll teach the Hawks to win.

[TampaDude]

The only thing that will keep the Hawks in game 7 is that the game is on ABC, where blowouts seldomly occur.

What about Game 4 of the Spurs-Suns series this year??? Was that on ABC??? :lol

[Agloco]

You know DFW will be tuned in. The Mavs would be off the hook forever.

LOL...my thoughts exactly. How many Mavs fans will be in here quoting this series anytime we mention Golden State? Quite frequently I'd imagine.

[Indazone]

This is where regular season wins mean nada
