^ The refs will definitely not be on our side, that's for sure. They always screw us over, especially now that it's against Boston and 3 BIG name players.

Hawks won't get calls because they haven't earned them. The Celtics have three stars, they have earned the title of star, and so they will get star calls. That's a part of the game, and one of the many challenges of winning with a young team.

That's BS.

Games should be called fair and square period.

Probably why there is no parity in pro basketball compared to other sports with that silly logic

Yep, that's the one thing that is downright WRONG in the NBA.

And I got laughed at in the trade board before the season started when I said the Hawks would make the playoffs.

Here's to everyone who tried to trade the Hawks' first round pick for all stars before the season even started.

Having that been said, Boston in 4, maybe 5 if they hawks catch them off guard once. The hawks are just too young and inexperienced. I just hope it doesn't get ugly.

Star calls are the part of the game. There are human beings officiating these games, they are going to give stars more calls just like anyone would.

Sixers have ruined any chance Hawks have tonight

If there was any chance Boston was going to overlook us it's gone because of the Philly game

Boston isn't going to overlook anyone. I have a feeling this game 1 is going to be ugly.

Celtics came out on all cylinders to begin the game.

this game won't see a single digit margin for the remaining time left.

Nice sequence for Smith.

Celtics showing why they are the best team in the league.

Josh Smith is beast

Ballings7 · Post #218 » by **Ballings7** » Mon Apr 21, 2008 1:09 am

that was quite a sequence by Smith before

Block, coast to coast dribble, slashing lay-up on KG

Fun stuff

MalReyn · Post #219 » by **MalReyn** » Mon Apr 21, 2008 1:09 am

And this is a game again...

Bet Rondo didn't call that last shot. Probably should have counted too.
