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.
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.

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.
Celtic Thug RIP @ Healthpoint

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.

If 10 points in 2/3 games is a blowout, I want what your smoking.
Any double digit win is a blowout.

I don't understand why this one guy keeps bringing up the Pats. They are totally different sports. The NBA has 7 game series. I don't think many if any teams can beat the C's in 4 games.

I just found it funny how Boston fans act like their god in sports, Boston fans are clearly the new New York fans...annoying..But I do like the red sox's though.
Well all three of our major franchises are good to great.. So they are "gods" in sports - at least the franchises. I understand that some fans act like they PERSONALLY are superior because of this (and that's annoying) - but you got to admit its awesome to be a Boston Sports fan right now.
And despite what the pundits say the Patriots thing doesn't kill us. The Pats were still better then almost every other football team. I can live with that going forward. Gives the Pats something to shoot for this year..

Most Boston fans are basically saying what you said just a few days ago, only with a little more respect for your own team.
And before you edit your original post, I will quote you:
Hawks will most likely choke...make the playoffs or not, wouldn't make a difference because there is no way we can beat Boston in the playoffs.
So I ask you again: are you a troll? Or an idiot?
