Josh Smith believes Hawks can upset Celtics

People needs to sit there and think for a good ol minute...just because your team is the best right now does not mean this team will win it all.

Boston could choke in the playoffs, just like the pats did in the superbowl. Anything can happen, just wish some Boston fans can see it.

Everybody deserved to say their own opinion. But for Josh Smith prediction........IT IS BIG IMPOSSIBLE considering an average of Celtics win are 14.2 AND at the time Sam was not yet on Celtics roster.
KG.Ray Allen,Sam,PP are hungry than hungier!

Probably hard to think differently considering they're among the East and they have possibly three future HOF'ers. Boston fans deserve to be cocky considering Atlanta is a below .500 team. If Atlanta wants any respect they need to prove the doubters wrong and actually win a game or two.

Yea that could happen but we're talking about Boston and Atlanta right now not the entire playoffs. The better analogy would've been if the Pats choked in the first round, which they didn't. Seriously though if you guys want to keep this up without getting attacked you should probably take this back to your board and stew about how the almighty Celtics are disrespecting your beloved Hawks. Good luck on Sunday.

If the hawks win a game in Boston this is a series. If you dont think your team can win your on crack. So what's the difference between the celtic's calling for a sweep and J-Smoove calling for an upset???

That's the whole point, the Celtics aren't talking sweep. The Celtics are showing far more respect to the Hawks team than the Hawks are giving back. You've got Childress saying what a great matchup this is for them. And I can barely make sense of Mike Woodson:

Q. Do you envision any way in which you and [Hawks general manager] Billy Knight both return in the same capacity next season and lead this franchise and team, respectively?

A. (Woodson) That's hard to say. It's hard to say. I don't know. But I will say this, as soon as we win the title this year, we're going to sit down and discuss it. I promise you that.

Haha post of the year right there... whats the difference? One is very likely to happen and one is very unlikely to happen.

Thats how predictions work, if you predict something decently likely people will roll with it without much question, if your prediction is incredibly unrealistic it raises eyebrows and will draw critisizm.

I have no problem with what Smith said personally, I agree with what other people were saying, you have to believe in your self, but to ask 'whats the difference between the C's calling for a sweep and Smith calling for an upset' is just a stupid question.

There is a reason we are a 1 seed and you are an 8... just get your brooms ready.

you can throw out all the numbers. Its the same thing calling for a sweep/ upset. Its motivation, Idk if you ever played sports in your life, but my football coach told us we could go out an compete with the eventual state champion's. We all had faith before that game that we could win, but loss 42-0. You are bashing the hawks and josh smith because he believes enough in his team to say to the public that they can beat the celtics and shock the world? No, thats what stupid.

Wow, you seem to be on every thread here tonight. If you dislike Boston fans so much, why on earth do you spend time on this board
