Wow... a game 7 in the 1st round in Beantown

To an extent, how could you not be cheering for Atlanta??

Man, who doesn't love an underdog . . . . if Atlanta ends up winning this series . . . . huge if there in my opinion . . . it would have to rate as one of the greatest upsets in the NBA all time wouldn't it??

This has been a very fun series!

...I don't know if I would say "scared"...  It looked more like "we played the cushion, thinking we would win, and we were bit in the ass..."  (Is that possible for a "thought balloon" over the Celtics heads?)  Definately a case of the "OH S**T"s...

I hate to rant, but good GOD I wanted a dominant team to come out of the East this year and once again, I'm unpleasantly let-down...  Detriot did their usual "turn-on the switch"deal against the Sixers, which any mildly under-achieving college student can recognize as modus-operandi, D.C. took the Cavs to 6 before the Three-Rivers effect set in, and the Hawks have forced 7... And don't be suprised if the Magic dump the Pistons in five or six; the window is slamming shut...  

End result?  I don't care WHO comes out of the East (I lie like a drunken sailor; I hope the Cavs repeat), but GOOD GOD, could we PLEASE start to kick the West from under our own proverbial wet blanket?  I swear I would feel better if the Celtics swept three series, and showed the Spurs a fight...  Alas, I fear we're doomed to another unbalanced match-up...  Yes, East, the Spurs are THAT good... 

the NBA told the refs to make sure there was a game 7 and they got it.

22 more foul shots. ludicrous.

if the refs paid more attention to traveling as they did to ticky tack fouls and ridiculous calls maybe the league would be more respected.

with that said go Celts. game 7 is here like it or not. time to see what you're made of.

The Big 3 played poorly tonight Kevin Garnett was never a factor played soft which really surprised me (22 pts 8-17 FG 7 rebs 6 asst) numbers good but had no impact in the 4th when the Celtics need him most. Paul Pierce struggled all night with fouls never allowing him to get going finishing with 17 pts and Ray Allen never had his stroke all night hit shots but could never get warmed up.

Much credit has to be given to the Hawks they have played a great series Joe Johnson and Al Horford are becoming house hold names.

Game 7 in Beantown...Celtics by 10 plus...I think? Can the Hawks pull off the miracle?
