I expect the bench to be playing at least half the 4th quarter making the final slightly more respectable...

98 - 82

Hopefully we play the bench even more in this one. I want to see how Baby does against Horford.

Please!

Maybe even a few more points for the Celtics since Bibby was dissing the Boston fans.

Dude, my point margin was larger than yours, so if you're a C's fan, this makes no sense? Are you a C's fan or a Hawks troll?

^That close? I don't think so. On the road against the best team in the league? I kind of think Atlanta shot their collective wad and played their best game in Game 1.

Celtics win by 738. Bibby is kidnapped prior to tipoff ala "celtic pride"

the celtics players are much different than some guys on an internet message board.

Exactly. We can be as cocky as we want--has nothing to do with how the players play.

20-point win, anyone?

a) The Sixers are far superior to the Hawks.
b) The Celtics are superior to the Pistons.
c) I doubt Celtics players read game threads on the RealGM Celtics forum. (If not, hi there! Can I have your autograph? :pray:

)

I think the Celtics should be forced to watch game tape of that Philly-Detroit game 1 so they don't make the same mistake that Detroit did, e.g., sleepwalking through the game.

they dont' need to watch that tape, they don't need to see DAL v GS

Most of the rotation players have seen failures personally at the Confrence Finals or are young and trying to prove their worth.

We're not some fat cat team with a core that's already won a championship and is a concern to get too cocky.

After what he did in game 1 maybe it would be best to not kidnap him. Because they might start someone that is actually good.

But they just beat the Hawks by 23 without KG, Pierce or Ray playing 35 minutes, Rondo playing under 28 and Perk not even playing 20. I don't see this team sleepwalking. Perhaps sleeping on the bench in the fourth quarter after getting up 25 through 3, but not sleepwalking.
