If you are going to post, use English please.

Funny how Celtics in 7 only got one vote. This is like Hornets in 5.

OMG. Really surprising. A repeat of last years 1st round between Mavs and Warriors maybe? :shock:

man I just caught the game on ESPN replay because I saw highlights and that was one exciting finish. I wish I had seen it live.

the Showtime Laker fan in me hopes Boston goes down.

I can't wait for Sauru's post!

btw, that James Posey falling out of bounds 3 was ridiculous.

I saw the whole game but then had to go when there was 6 minutes left in the 4th when it was real excting. So im gonna watch the last 6 minutes tonight when the replay is aired, even though i know the result.
I was routing for the Hawks pretty hard...

GO HAWKS :cool:

Interesting. Out of all the first round series, who would've guessed this one was the one that went to 7 games?
Honestly, not me. :shock:

For now, I'm jumping on the Hawks bandwagon. 8-)

Me neither... I always knew Hawks wouldn't give up without fighting, but I wasn't expecting a 7-game series.

i saw it live, and it sucked. i cant even bitch about anything like the refs or shit, if anything it looked like boston had more favorable calls. the hawks are just out hustling the celtics, plain and simple. allen had some many good looks that he just could not connect on, no one wanted tob ox out anyone.

anyway the worst part was not the loss, it was walking out of the stadium, decked out head to toe in celts gear, having to listen to everyone, and i mean everyone. i heard so much shit it was unreal. to the credit of atlanta fans most of it was in good fun but a few people were assholes. lol one guy even tried calling me a poser. almost got in a fight in the bathroom when one guy told me garnett was a bitch, which caused me to call the entire city of atlanta a bunch of pussies. it was at that time i thought it best to get the fuck out of the bathroom.

overall great game by the hawks and another lame performance by the celtics. even if they win game 7 its hard to pick them to win the title if the hawks give them this much trouble.

The last team to win the championship after going the distance in the first round was the Lakers back in 2000, who also won over 65 games. The last time before that was the Rockets in 1995, who did so without homecourt advantage as the sixth seed. It's worrying that the Celtics are facing elimination in a seventh game in the first round but at the same time if they advance it might not mean anything in the later rounds.

Hopefully Atlanta will follow Sac-Town's example, and Bibby will once again have an elite team in two years.

Celtics are totally destroying the Hawks in game 7, offensively but more important defensively.
At the moment, with just over two minutes remaining in the 3rd quarter, they holding a 73-36 lead.

Nice to see that the Hawks made their best out of their chances, winning all their home games, but there's no way the could win in Boston.

The series is over. A 36 point lead with a quarter left in the game. I would feel bad for the hawks if it wern't for the cheap, hard foul Williams put on Rajon Rondo. Glad to see he was ejected and hopefully he gets slapped with a fine. Rondo came very close to landing on his head after being pretty high in the air. It could have been ER ugly. Thank goodness Rondo was fine.

It seems the Celtics just had a case of Pistonitis. They tend to slack off until their backs are on the wall.

by **Lamrock** on Mon May 05, 2008 5:32 am

On the bright side, Atlanta held Boston under 100 points.
