I agree the celtics big three are overrated and just win in the regular season none of them have what it takes to win in the play offs.
My rationale that Celtics will be defeated by Hawks is that they are extremely young and not afraid of anything. Ray and Golam (Sam) are too y and i hate Ray because he never admit Bowen is a stud defender. Would it be nice "if" Hawks vs Spurs in the final so we can see how Duncan draws fouls on Josh Smith each time he goes for the pump fake.

I actually told timvp that the Hawks would win the series before it started.I didn't even believe myself at the time, but now anything is possible.
The Hawks will have a very hard time in Boston. But if they can stay composed and focused (something the Celtics couldn't do in Atlanta), they have a real good shot.
I'm hoping the Hawks win this series also, but even if the Celtics end up winning, they've shown that they are vulnerable, and aren't "almighty" like everyone put them out to be. Despite whoever comes out of this series, I think the Cavs will beat either team.
I hope so. The media has all but crowned the Celtics. I am tired of those Gatorade commercials and the NBA TV special "I am Celtic"
i pray to god they do
I bet they won't play that NBA ad with Badfinger's "Day After Day" anymore if that happens.
I want the Hawks to get rid of the Celtics... first of all because they are overrated and they think they are the champs , also I am sick of all the "NBA experts" saying that they will win ths year,and also because the Hawks showed that they have a HUGE heart .... any team that has Mike Bibby and can pull a win like last night deserves my respect

Well, the key will be if the Boston players can play with THAT much pressure. If they lose it will be one of the biggest upsets in the history of the NBA. The Hawks don't have anything to lose. Just go out there and play.
That said, Game 1 of Spurs: Hornets is more imporant.
Im a little conflicted on this one. Watching the Celtics flame out in the first round against and eight seed would be awesome, but then think how anti-climatic the finals would be. Do you really wants to see spurs v cavs again? Or even a spurs-pistons rematch at this point? What about orlando? Meh.
As long as the Spurs win, sure.
Give me a Spurs-Pistons rematch any day.
I want the Hawks to win, and of course, anyone can win one game. The Celtics have put themselves in a bad spot by allowing this to go to 7 games. But the Celts are winning by 20+ at home, and in the Hawk's last win on their own court, they got 47 free throw attempts.
I'll be cheering for the Hawks, but I just don't see it happening.
(btw, first post here. I'm a refugee from SR, which is having another round of technical trouble.)
The Hawks winning this series would make my heart happy.
I'm not entirely certain they will be able to pull it off in Boston, but I'll be certainly cheering for them.
I doubt it. Especially after the constant complaining the Celtics did about the officiating and foul shooting edge the Hawks had, I'm sure the Celtics are going to get about 40 FT's and blow out the Hawks.
Regardless though, it's nice to see the Celtics get humbled in the first round like this. The only first round series to go 7 games is ironically the one that everyone assumed would be a sweep.
I agree with you on this. But.....anything is possible.......So.....
Go Hawks Go
The Hawks have a 0% chance to win that series.
Bet the moneyline then, it is 14 to 1 odds.
And the Spread is two touchdowns!
Williams is out for game 7 and that team is not going to bring it. They are young and inexperienced game 6 was their game 7, they are probably going to lay down in game 7.
I hate this mentality. Why do people think like this? And especially a spurs fan? If your a laker fan I can see why you think like this but for spurs, no ones checking for the spurs outside of san antonio except spurs fans. Everyone wants the lakers and celtics in the finals. I wolud love to see another pistons vs spurs matchup though. I could care less about how the finals would be anti climatic without the celtics. What have the celtics proven? Celtics arent all of that in my opinion. If celtics don't make the finals and the lakers are in, No one would really care. Lakers vs the pistons, Lakers vs. Lebron...The lakers just get more ratings than the spurs. But bandwangoners and casual fans, give me my pistons vs. spurs rematch and I'll be happy.
The league will never allow the Celtics to lose a first round game 7 in Boston!
Celtics will do what the Pistons did in their closeout games. They'll get their heads out of their asses and get back to business.
They're clearly the better team. All the Hawks did was expose their weakness to the rest of the league this post-season.
Lebron should be able to get them into so much foul trouble it'll be ridiculous. That'll be a good series, since they already had enough trouble containing Joe Johnson...
I hope Bron's teammates deliver, while Lebron's setting them up.
I'll quote you on this.
Yeah, and ESPN can stop drinking all that green koolaid, and Gatorade can stop playing that celtics commercial everyother timeout.
Hollinger says the Celtics have a 100% chance of winning the championship.
