The Celtics of game 1-6 played nothing like the Celtics today. The Celtics today are playing like the team we saw this whole season. There's no reason they don't get back on track after this series.
No they aren't, the Hawks just didn't come to play. The Celtics only shot 42% in the first half and are on pace to score about 100 which has been about their playoff average. The Hawks are just the worst road team in the NBA, and flat out can't compete in Boston.

What, why are you still complaining? You just beat the mighty Hawks in 7 games. Shouldn't you be out in the streets thumping your chest and screaming with KG?

I agree that as of right now he's not. Which is I said that if KG wins a few rings, and continues his level of play, that he could be #2. Those are very realistic standards.
Maybe. I don't think Malone should be looked down upon for not winning a championship. He was unfortunate enough to play against MJ for all those years. The NBA was extremely tough during that era.
Granted, he played with Stockton who is probably the third best PG in NBA history. I think it was easiest to see how good he was once he joined the Lakers. Once he got injured they collapsed and played terrible. Malone wasn't a long player and didn't block shots, but he was an underrated defender. He's easily the best PF offensively of all time.
Also, Garnett tends to disappear in big games during the 4th quarter. If he can have some big games at crucial times and the Celtics win a couple rings, then maybe. Until then, I think he remains number 3.

You see it as the Hawks not playing well. I see it as the Celtics playing suffocating Defense. You could have similar perspectives on Games 3,4, and 6.

Please, we've missed a billion layups that normally go in, and Horford and Smith are playing downright scared turning the ball over, shooting airballs, and just flatout choking.

KG showing his intensity in this blowout. Now he can take shots in the 4th quarter without having to be afraid.

LOL at Garnett not making eye contact with Zaza.
Clean pick though.

All he's done is win a trip to the second round let me know when he's hoisting the Larry O'Brien trophy

Believe it or not, no. They weren't nearly as aggressive.
Embarrassment and Elimination are a good motivator.
But, it's my impression that the Celtic were unmotived the entire 2nd half of the season. THeir play in the first 6 games of the playoffs was no different than their regular season play for at least half the season.

Zaza just got his bitch ass laid out on a CLEAN play. That's how you give hard fouls, Atlanta. A hard foul isn't supposed to be attempted murder.

We're the best road team in the league...
That means nothing. You're 0-3 on the road in the playoffs.
That being said, I can't see Cleveland beating Boston. Cleveland, I believe, is a better matchup for Boston than Atlanta was.

Perhaps you haven't watched this series.
Perhaps you haven't watched the rest of the season when Stern and his minions weren't trying to revive every franchise Boston played against on the road.

This is just sad. Complete and utter destruction at its finest. I thought the way my 76ers played the Pistons was bad. This is just horrible.
