Celtics/Hawks Official Game 7 Thread

[Tippecanoe]

celtics are 0-6 whenever i attend their home games.

i have tickets for tomorrow.

to go or not to go? that is the question.

[Armando]

Go watch the Celtics plastered the Hawks by 30.

[Armando]

If Marvin Williams does not play tomorrow the Hawks are in trouble. Their bench is not that deep.

[ManuTim_best of Fwiendz]

Go.

Superstitions are silly. Plus, you're due to attend a winning game. You'll regret it if Boston wins an exciting game 7 and if it's a Boston Blow-out, it'll are probably be more fun to watch there, than at home.

[SAtown]

There's nothing like going to a Game 7.

[BonnerDynasty]

Id sell them and spend money on games that won't be a blowout.

[ShoogarBear]

Go.

Yes, keep encouraging him. :tu

[MajicMan]

As much as I hate the Celtics they should prevail tomorrow. Keyword "should". You're prob safe to go to this one. Not going to a game because you think "you're" bad luck is just plain silly. These motherfuckers get paid gazillions of dollars to play basketball. You not going to a game = irrational fan boy. You think the Celtics are going to send you a Christmas card for your sacrifices?

[ManuTim_best of Fwiendz]

Yes, keep encouraging him. :tu

Shhh...

I kinda want Boston to win though :lol

Kinda...

[Vinnie_Johnson]

Boston wins this game going away. Hawks are a nice story but it's over Sunday.

[kingsfan]

IF the refs don't fuck it up for Atlanta, hawks got this. It won't be easy but they're not done shocking the world.
Let's GO HAWKS!! :toast

[SpursDynasty]

The Hawks will win this game and it won't be a surprise. Boston is a jump shooting team. The rim gets smaller in Game 7s.

[Red Hawk #21]

Hey thanks for jinxing my team Jeff.:bang

[Indazone]

Go Hawks! You can do it!

[Thunder Dan]

fucking go man. don't waste those tickets there are kids in China that would die for those




make it 0-7

[Mr.Bottomtooth]

Creer.
Hawks win.

[boutons_]

I'd love the Hawks to win, totally shaking up the EC bracket, but the odds! ........

Go Hawks, expose the Celts!

[Red Hawk #21]

Even if the Hawks lose this series I think the Cavs can OWN them, all they do is shoot jumpshots but their defense in the halfcourt makes up for them not having a post presence.

[Thunder Dan]

I think Lebron is better than Joe Johnson and Cleveland has better outside shooters plus an inside presence so it is possible, who knows though

[Red Hawk #21]

I don't think you guys can just beat them, I think you can OWN them.

[lurker]

Marvin Williams is gonna play. Showing some toughness. I like it.

[Thunder Dan]

Marvin Williams is gonna play. Showing some toughness. I like it.

Marvin who? who the hell is that?

[Kriz-Maxima]

Marvin who? who the hell is that?


Don't worry, the Celtics know who he is.

[NuGGeTs-FaN]

game over already? or can the Hawks make an unlikely run in boston?

[Johnny_Blaze_47]

Nice.

Josh Smith has a Warriors '07 playoff shirt in his locker.

[Johnny_Blaze_47]

Hawks needed to run a much better play on that final possession, but credit the C's for forcing Joe Johnson one-on-one.

[Red Hawk #21]

Hawks need to step up and attack the rim.

[Johnny_Blaze_47]

Hawks need to step up and attack the rim.

That and finish when they get there.

They're obviously nervous. Hopefully one quarter in they get calmed down.

[Thunder Dan]

God how have the Hawks won 3 games in this series?

[boutons_]

How many layups have Hawks missed in 1st qtr?

Will Hawks find their balls, or choke and shoot under 30% for the next 3 qtrs?

[Red Hawk #21]

Hawks need to get there minds right, they should be the aggressors in this game.

[Kriz-Maxima]

It looks like its about to get ugly.

[Shang Tsung]

Any working stream links..? please, private msg

[ace3g]

this is again one of those games where the Hawks need to get the deficit down to 10 or less before halftime, and start over in the 3rd

[JamStone]

Hawks are getting hacked a lot though when they do attack the rim. But, it's game 7 and in Boston, so they got to find a way to play through it.

[Red Hawk #21]

Come on Hawks get your minds right, we can turn this game around

[Capt Bringdown]

Come on Hawks get your minds right, we can turn this game around

LOL, they've played over a quarter and half, and the Celts have 3 fouls called against 'em.

3

[boutons_]

Hawks looked nervous, spooked, not unexpected given the situation.

Cold shooting, 9 TOs, that's nerves.
They've come from behind in the series, they can do it again. Gotta find their balls at halftime.

[romsey31]

LOL, they've played over a quarter and half, and the Celts have 3 fouls called against 'em.

Stern is doing everything he can to make sure bostons advances. Hawks are getting mugged

[Armando]

Stern is doing everything he can to make sure bostons advances. Hawks are getting mugged



Celtics are getting the calls the Hawks got at home. No one has pointed out that Pierce was getting mugged in Atlanta with no calls.

[Red Hawk #21]

This is a trashy performance

[Capt Bringdown]

It's over.

[MajicMan]

hawks laying an egg....this sucks..oh well got the laker game to look forward to

[Armando]

Is over still plenty of time but they fell too far behind to come back.

[Armando]

Ughhh ABC finds anyway to mention LeBron. I hate Stuart Scott.

[hive_attack]

Hawks look like the Hawks on the road. They look like a good team at home though. Who would've thought the Celtics would need home court to get by the Hawks.

[Red Hawk #21]

Stuart scott is a bitch

[SpursDynasty]

Boston is having this game handed to them.

Hawks will come back and pull out a W.

[shelshor]

:lolWay to go Atlanta--Game 7 and turn in a record breaking performance for Celtics opponent in a half--fewest points:rollin
No surprise-Hawks just sinking to their own level

[Red Hawk #21]

Stop Jinxing my team Jeff

[boutons_]

another missed Hawks layups at 9:35 in 3rd. Looks like they haven't found their balls. The blowout continues, shooting 25%, totally uncompetitive.

gameover (I'm great with these in-game predictions! :) )

[Cry Havoc]

Holy god that was a fantastic football tackle.

[shelshor]

And Williams shows his class and maturity

[Johnny_Blaze_47]

Holy god that was a fantastic football tackle.

That.

But yeah, this game is over.

[sribb43]

i dont know which one is a worse game 7....mavs/rox 2005; celtics/hawks 2008; phx/lakers 2006; pacers/celtics 2005

[Armando]

One day a player is not going to get up from a foul like that.

[Johnny_Blaze_47]

:lolWay to go Atlanta--Game 7 and turn in a record breaking performance for Celtics opponent in a half--fewest points:rollin
No surprise-Hawks just sinking to their own level

They're here. You can't fault the Hawks for much of anything this series considering very few people thought there would be a Game 7 at all, much less 5 or 6.

[Thunder Dan]

Can't wait to see Lebron shut these crowderheads up

[Armando]

Josh Smith

2 of 9 5 points


Good game those are Duncan numbers

[SpursFanFirst]

I thought this game started at 3:30ET. :(
Obviously, it's not going well for the Hawks.
Are the C's playing well or are they receiving a little help?

[BonnerDynasty]

lmao down by 30.

Called it.

[Kobayagi]

One day a player is not going to get up from a foul like that.


TJ Ford was close earlier this season after being fouled by Horford. Atlanta has a nice history of hard fouls.

[boutons_]

Well, Hawks ended playing like true 8th seed.

Congrats for taking 3 games off the Celts, which at least 2 more than anybody expected.

Celts exposed as being unable to win on the playoff road. :lol

Celts have HCA vs everybody, thanks to playing most of their games in the EC.

[SpursFanFirst]

This game is a bummer.

[BlackSwordsMan]

Damn what an early game. Didn't know it was on seems like I ain't missing much

[angel_luv]

Oh my gosh! I just got home from church and checked the score.
30 something points in the third quarter????

Seriously!

[Kriz-Maxima]

Mercy rule! Mercy rule!

[Armando]

The NBA needs to find away of dealing with that. Can imagine a player gets paralyzed from a foul like that. Maybe increase the fines and suspensions.

[remingtonbo2001]

Got home expecting a close game...:depressed

Wishuful thinking...

[Armando]

36 points in the 3rd quarter. Pathetic

[Kriz-Maxima]

The NBA needs to find away of dealing with that. Can imagine a player gets paralyzed from a foul like that. Maybe increase the fines and suspensions.

It wasnt intentional and Horford did get a suspension. Shit Happens.

[Armando]

So much for everybody saying the Celtics were going to be tight under pressure.

[sribb43]

ABC should stop broadcasting the game and switch over to some infomercials

[BonnerDynasty]

Fuck everybody.

That isn't dirty yet Bowen's little elbow on Stat in the reg season WAS?

Shut the fuck up.

[Spurminator]

If Bowen commits that foul he's suspended three games.

[BonnerDynasty]

I didn't think KG would make me do it, but I would be rooting for Kobe 100% to beat this douche.

[Armando]

It wasnt intentional and Horford did get a suspension. Shit Happens.



Yeah but intent or lack thereoff does not make a difference if a player is breathing thru a tube.

[Strike]

That was a bush league move by Garnett.

What a punk fuckin bitch.

[Armando]

What a punk fuckin bitch.



You will know about bush league :lol

[Strike]

You will know about bush league :lol

Go home Suns fan. Just like your bitch ass team.

[BonnerDynasty]

Props to Zaza for not attacking KG and getting suspended for next year.

A lot of guys in the league would have said "down by 40, fuck it." and done something.

[Armando]

Man I like blowouts.

[Kriz-Maxima]

Yeah but intent or lack thereoff does not make a difference if a player is breathing thru a tube.


This is basketball there is going to be contact, there wasn't evil intent behind the contact and the guy was crearly sorry about what happened. Shit happens.

[Strike]

Wait until the Garnett and the Celtics have to face a quality team in the playoffs. Then we'll see how many times that piece of shit pounds his chest or "shows his heart".

[Armando]

In the East that will mean waiting until the ECF for Orlando or Detroit.

[JamStone]

The Hawks are who we thought they were.

[Armando]

Someone has anger issues.

[Armando]

Why is Pierce even in the game now?

[Spurminator]

Congratulations to Kevin Garnett on his second trip past the first round.

[Strike]

Too bad for him, the result won't be a trip to the finals...again.

[TheMACHINE]

I blame Josh Smith for being the next big choker in the league.

[Armando]

I blame Josh Smith for being the next big choker in the league.



You can add Joe Johnson and Al Horford. Neither did anything in this game.

[SpursDynasty]

Classless move by Boston, dunking on Atlanta with a 30+ lead.

They are going to get swept next round.

[resistanze]

Does Garnett ever STFU? God damn :lol

[ShoogarBear]

There's gonna be some confetti in Beantown tonight!!!!!

[Fillmoe]

i hope boston gets shit on in the next round...

[Thunder Dan]

I wanna see Lebron do what he did in game 5 last year every game in Boston next series. I hate Boston fans and nothing would be more funny than seeing him put up 50 a night

[Armando]

He can put up 50 it won't matter if no one else is doing anything.

[Thunder Dan]

ugly kids

[Thunder Dan]

basically the Cavs just have 4 games to win one on the road since it's obvious Boston can't win on the road. If they think Atlanta is loud..Cleveland can be a little louder

[Banzai]

only took 7 games:rollin

[Deuces88]

Well that's it. Hawks didn't want to win, so they didn't win.

Cavs are different. Cavs can get themselves hype after 1 dunk on LeBron. I put money that before the series is done, Garnett will be on a poster being posterized by LeBron.

[Armando]

basically the Cavs just have 4 games to win one on the road since it's obvious Boston can't win on the road. If they think Atlanta is loud..Cleveland can be a little louder


And all Boston has to do is hold serve at home. How many games did the Cavs win in Boston this season? 0

[E20]

Wow, so David Stern is at the game, he probably was phoning the refs during the game and meeting up with them at half time, and paying the hawks to suck. There is no way possible that a team can play that sucky.

I'm fucking kidding so anybody takes this seriously you are a fucking moron and a fucking douchebag, quit taking an internet sports board so seriously and take your panties out of a fucking wad

[Deuces88]

And all Boston has to do is hold serve at home. How many games did the Cavs win in Boston this season? 0

Cavs don't get as flustered as Hawks do on the road. I can see the Cavs getting at least 1 win in Boston. The games will be close and if they are, you better look to LeBron to be the play-maker.

[td4mvp21]

:lmao I hate KG. All cocky "this is what Atlanta wanted this is what they got". Yeah, get cocky when it DOESN'T take your team 7 games to eliminate a 37 win team :rolleyes

[Vinnie_Johnson]

Cavs in 6 over this Boston team.

[Vinnie_Johnson]

:lmao I hate KG. All cocky "this is what Atlanta wanted this is what they got". Yeah, get cocky when it DOESN'T take your team 7 games to eliminate a 37 win team :rolleyes

What a prick. Way to give them credit:depressed

[Deuces88]

:lmao I hate KG. All cocky "this is what Atlanta wanted this is what they got". Yeah, get cocky when it DOESN'T take your team 7 games to eliminate a 37 win team :rolleyes

Even though I'm not a Cavs fan, I see Cavs splitting the first 2 games in Boston.

"What Garnett? You want my nuts in your face while I dunk? Thanks"

"No problem, LeBron *muffled sound*"

[Thunder Dan]

And all Boston has to do is hold serve at home. How many games did the Cavs win in Boston this season? 0

one was w/o Lebron, the other was 2 games after the big trade

[Armando]

Yeah I give you that but the Cavs are not playing the Wizards. The Celtics know in a tight game they have to get the ball out of his hands. Another thing I don't think the Cavs have enough balance on offense. The Celtics are not going to worry about Ben Wallace or Devin Brown.

[Deuces88]

I said LeBron would be the play-maker on the last play. I didn't say he would shoot the last shot. He has shooters he can pass it to and he automatically draws double teams. No one on Celtics can stop LeBron 1-on-1.

[Armando]

one was w/o Lebron, the other was 2 games after the big trade



Thats just an excuse. The Celtics have won games without KG and Ray Allen. And against quality teams I might add.

[Thunder Dan]

Balance? The Hawks took them 7 games with basically one player. The Cavs have 5 guys that can give you 20+ a night if you needed them to (Z,Lebron,Wally,Gibson,West)

[TampaDude]

Well, that was an asskicking... :lol

Delonte West are you kidding me? He is just a younger Mike Bibby.

Wizards were a higher seed than Atlanta so you could probably say the same thing about the Hawks

[Deuces88]

Well Ray Allen had a nice game together.

Pfft, he's just a simple scorer (but not even leading scorer). If he starts out cold, he finishes cold. I don't even consider him a big superstar anymore.

Yeah he has been hit and miss I think Posey has played better. Still you have to account for Ray on defense. You can't double off him.

[m33p0]

dallas will have to hold on to that recognition a little while longer. hawks sucked this one up big time.

[kingsfan]

I'm totally depressed :depressed and haven't even watched most of the game yet. It will be a week or so before I can do that.
I'm very proud of them though. They played great for 3 games and showed so much heart, nothing to be ashamed of at all.
They're still young and with a couple of changes can be a very good team. GO HAWKS!!! :clapI can't wait for next year.
