I live in Atlanta - I know they have no chance at winning these series. Very slim indeed.
The only time I know things got scary was when the hawks were catching up and silvers had to send KG back into the game. Other than that i don;t think we can call the hawks hanging out with them just because the celtics were in foul trouble. The truth is for anyone who was really watching the game that the hawks had some very easy possessions more than one time and took advantage of them.

Slim indeed but Horford seems like he is going to hold his own in the series.
The front office still doesn't know what the heck to do - Horford shouldn't even be playing in atlanta, it's a waste of a heck of a player. Acie Law played 3 ing minutes another player to waste and Bibby got totally manhandled and went 2-10. That's a problem. They drafted Law because they desperately needed a PG and then landed Bibby so I can understand he's supposed to be the starter but come on Bibby had Rondo's kids last night. Give him an opportunity.
Is there any truth to the rumor Woodson is on his way out after the series is over?
I honestly don't know but it would be a bad decision in my opinion. It's not his fault the whole thing is messed up - he was actually able to put them in the playoffs this year but just happened to meet Boston. I would leave him there and trade off some of that young talent for some proven veteran that can play with johnson, al and bibby and who is looking for a run deep into the postseason. They need somebody other than zaza. The good thing about the team is that they are loaded with young talent and have the luxury of at least 2 quality trades under their sleeves. They need a great proven PF or Center. Look at what happened to NO... they put some pieces together from different teams and they are now geared to win it all.
and let me tell you something else to prove the FO s up things a bit. Before Rasheed went to Detroit, he was actually acquired by the hawks but he was an outcast. I think he played 10 minutes one game, drank a cup of coffee and was shipped out right away. Few months later he wins a ring with the pistons.
40 points
15 rebounds
3 blocks
5 assists
1-1 from 3.
There's your ing fountain of youth, you regular-season toting nozzle. What the kind of joke are you to use the first 82 (nearly) pointless games as a gauge for what would happen in the playoffs? The Nuggets and Cavs have owned the Spurs the past two seasons, how many rings do they have?
Just like a typical fan. Regular season is all you care about. Do you still jerk off to that 81 point performance that won them a championship of NOTHING?
It's a mute point as i said. last year the spurs were old as they could be people said and won it all. That means nothing, the big three are still in their primes - problem is most teams are so afraid of them they come up with all kind of excuses. And they are rightfully so as you are supposed to beat the champions to become one.
WERD...
You dumb , the Spurs are the OLDEST team in the league. I don't care how good Duncan is, he can't do it all by his lonesome.
Between Manu's Groin, Barry's calf, Finley's age, Horry's knees, Parker's ankle.........there is a huge possibility that key players are banged up or not as fresh as they need to be to take on a team like BOS. The Spurs have arguably the hardest path to the Finals.....Suns in the 1st round, NOH/DAL in the 2nd round, LAL in the WCF, and then BOS in the Finals. All of these series could potentially go 7 games, and no matter how motivated the Spurs are I can easily see their team being too worn down if they make it to the Finals.
dont wanna sound like a , but its "moot point"
sorry, it was really bothering me
...or not...
I haven't said it was going to be Spurs-Celts. I haven't said ANYTHING about what's going to happen past round one. And what the kind of moron uses speculation as a basis for what the outcome of the playoffs are going to be? Oh, the Spurs MIGHT get hurt. The Spurs MIGHT have a couple of players banged up. It's the ing playoffs, and since when has a team arrived to the finals in perfect health? My guess is never.
For the record:
Allen - 32 years old
Pierce - Over 30 years old.
KG - About to turn 32.
Well I guess we'll be seeing the Wizards in the Finals, since they're so young and the Celtics are obviously going to get injured due to old age. Thanks for clarifying that.
I guess it's a good thing he doesn't play one-on-five then. After Saturday's game I was starting to think he might be able to get that done. Luckily for Spurs fans, he's got a couple of decent players around him.You dumb , the Spurs are the OLDEST team in the league. I don't care how good Duncan is, he can't do it all by his lonesome.
If I were a Spurs fan I'd be more worried about getting out of the 1st round. A 2pt double OT win that required Tim Duncan hitting a buzzer-beater 3pt shot on your home floor.....not exactly a dominating win by any means.
isnt a question of dominating but rather getting through and win a ring. It's a "moot" point. again, thinking the spurs are going to win or lose games by miracle shots is ridiculous. the perfect path to glory doesn't exist, you are going to face obstacles and have to be resilient enough to get over them. that's how championships work. game by game - what happened last weekend isnt' in any way a snapshot of what the series will be.
Case in point the 06 Heat were not that dominant in thier championship run. with the exception of Game 4 were they blew out the Mavs they won Games3,5,6 by a combined 6 points.
I see a lot of similarities between this year's Spurs and the 2004 Lakers. By the time the Lakers made it to the Finals they were spent. Bruised, battered, and just completely not ready to take on a much fresher and younger Piston team.
The scary thing for the Spurs is their path will be one of the hardest in recent history should they make it to the Finals. Suns in the 1st round (6-7 games), Hornets/Mavs in the 2nd round (6-7 games), Lakers in the WCF (6-7 games).........only to face a likely BOS opponent in the Finals. Seeing as how they are the oldest team in the league I don't see them beating BOS if the above happens, which is why Pop is going to unorthodox methods like hack-a-shaq in the 2nd quarter. He knows his team needs to finish out each round as quickly as possible for the Spurs to have any chance at repeating.
I would think any coach in the league would want the same to happen.
I give you this path could be the toughest but that's better - more glory to the team.
Better? Please take your head out of your ass. This is the worst possible draw for the Spurs, and if Pop could trade places with the Lakers in terms of playoff positioning he'd do it in a heartbeat.
Bookmarked for after the Spurs 5th NBA le in June 2008...
I have no clue about what Pop has in his mind.
Yes. Spurs fans are the presumptuous ones. That's why you don't even list Utah as a possibility of beating the Lakers. If you think Bynum coming off injury or Gasol has a PRAYER of containing Boozer, I'm going to laugh when they dust you off in 6. But no, really, let's hear more homerism out of you. Please.
Odom guards Boozer, not Gasol. He did a very good job on him last game, his length and quickness help him to stay in front of Boozer and bother his shots. Fisher knows Williams inside and out since they used to be teammates, and he does an acceptable of containing him. Outside of these two there really isn't anyone else the Lakers need to worry about.
On the flipside, they really cannot stop any facet of our offense. No answer for Kobe and no answer for Gasol. They lack size in the interior and will struggle to keep us off the boards and out of the paint. We're 3-1 against them for a very good reason. In short, the Jazz don't matchup with us very well at all.
Did I mention we will have HCA and are one of the only teams to beat them on the road this season?
You are one dumb mother er.
Try getting out of the first round before you start spouting delusional bull like this.
