good point.
Next to the Spurs repeating in 2008, nothing would fill me with more joy than to see the Celtics get bounced by the Hawks...I swear I would buy a Hawks jersey if that happened...
Outside of the Ray, Pierce and KG, the rest of the Celtics suck.
The Celtics' "Big Three" scored something like 6 points in the 4th quarter...
Do the Hawks have what it takes to win one in Boston?
if boston is pressing yes
Different situation. G-State controlled that series right from the start. Atlanta still has to show it can compete, let alone win, in Boston. If the C's close out this series in six and go on to the Finals this will barely register a blip.
C's played the whole season like it was the playoffs ALA all Kevin Garnett teams. Come money time, there is no extra level. When you have a big three that is all over 30, that will catch up with you.
Funny how the media overlooks this fact, but continually harps on the age of the Spurs
No. The Celtics are human. They'll win Games 5 and 6. I think they were shocked at the level of play and the intensity the Hawks showed in Games 3 and 4. My guess is that they thought the Hawks would just roll over and die.
the Celtics big 3 have a history of struggling in the Playoffs as well.The Celtics' "Big Three" scored something like 6 points in the 4th quarter...
I agree and in the end all the Hawks did was hold serve at home. Now Boston needs to get their together and win the next 2 games. They don't want the Hawks to push them to 7 games while LeBron possibly is home resting.
Did you see the look of deflation on Paul Pierce's grill?
Maybe not completely, but the Hawks are in the Celtic's heads right now.
I see no reason why Atlanta couldn't snag one game in Boston right now. Their confidence has to be through the roof.
My sentiments exactly.
As much as I'd like to see the Hawks pull the upset, I'd imagine the Celtics come prepared for Game 5.
Yup...if the Hawks win Game 5 in Boston, they will win the series. NFW the Celtics will win Game 6 in ATL after that. Book it.
Hawks can do this, I believe!
Hmm they are a similiar team come to think of it.
I think thats more them blowing a 10 point lead. I just don't see them winning up there. Granted the Hawks are playing with confidence but no. This is still a young team going into what will be a energized arena on Wednesday. If they keep it close maybe but they can't fall down 10-15 in the first period.
I'm sure the Celtics came prepared to not have to play more than 5 games against the Hawks. Look how that turned out.
As much as I'd like to see the Hawks pull the upset, I'd imagine the Celtics come prepared for Game 5.
After Denver upset Seattle back in the 90's, New York made the Finals as an 8 seed in '99, and GS owning Dallas last year, teams like Atlanta now know that it's not only not impossible to topple the #1 seed, but that if you play your balls off, anything can happen.
The Hawks have the advantage right now. They just beat the big, bad Celtics 2 straight games when no one, not even most of their fans, game them a altar boy's chance in the rectory.

I would hope they come prepared. They don't want to head back to Atlanta down 2-3 and have to play the Hawks at thier gym.
the bottom line is the intimidation these hawks put on them - they never backed down and there were some times it was just ridiculous. When KG was hitting the FTs and he missed one he was talking trash to JJ and him to KG - then in the following boston attack JJ blocked KG - so there was a lot of trash talking.
The funny point of the game was right after the Zazagate when E.T. tried to go on JJ's face and got T'd. He needs to take the next ship to the moon and get a clue and shut up.
I don't know but if the Celtics go down in the first round it might even be more of a joke than Dallas last year. A 66-16 team, with three superstars, with possibly the best role players in the league, with the deepest team in the league, going down to a team that only won 37 games?
Its too early to start saying this but I believe in my Hawks however.
They have a shot. A LONG shot, but a shot nonetheless.
