Posted: Mon Apr 21, 2008 3:02 amHey Rasho, Rasho didn't play well today, how come? I didn't watch the Orlando-Toronto game, but I looked at the box score.

Posted: Mon Apr 21, 2008 4:02 amChill out y'all, we played horrible tonight. Everyone on our entire team was playing their first playoff game except Bibby and JJ who both sucked. Rondo made some of the luckiest shots I've ever seen, and noone on our team could make ANYTHING. I still expect to at least win one.

That's the thing - I don't think the Hawks were horrible. They played okay but the C's are good enough to make them LOOK awful. That's how it's been all year with them.
People think they aren't so special - they go and kick some "awesome" team or in this case mediocre teams but like the Hawks, San Antonio, The Lakers, Houston etc and then suddenly that team had a "bad game."
Maybe the C's are just that good..

Posted: Mon Apr 21, 2008 5:31 am^^agreed. hawks played horrible because the celtics made them. they're the best defensive team in the league. celtics are going 16-3 this post season.
Posted: Mon Apr 21, 2008 6:43 amI do think the Hawks had a number of unforced turnovers in the first half, and they could have gotten it to close to a tie at halftime if they took better care of the ball.
In the second half, the Celtics were able to score on them at will or get to the foul line, which basically made it a half-court game. And there's no chance for the Hawks to win if they can't get any fast breaks.
Posted: Mon Apr 21, 2008 5:11 pmThe Celtics are just so good. I kept felt like we were playing okay and then I'd look up and we'd be down 12.
Posted: Mon Apr 21, 2008 6:18 pmFrankly I don't think either team played particularly well. The margin of victory was simply an indication of how much better the Celtics are.
