Pierce has a lower back strain, will return to the game.

Wow, I'm not sure if Detroit hates Artest more, or if Boston hates Bibby more.

I do think Boston will win the series handily, but don't underestimate Bibby. I remind everyone that Bibby has just as much and perhaps more playoff experience than anyone on the Boston team. He knows the playoff game.

Leon Powe with the huge flop.

Seriously, Atlanta is one of the dumbest NBA teams I have ever seen. Do they ever try to work it into the post, or are they just content shooting fallaway jumpers and getting blocked at the rim 24/7?

Can't blame Bibby for being scared of Rondo...I would be too if I was being abused on national television by a PG who "can't shoot".

The Hawks have to be the worst coached playoff team out there.

I just don't see any chance that Atlanta can even be competitive for an entire game much less win this series. Their degree of difficulty even when they make a shot is too high for them to sustain for an entire game.

The Hawks should try and pass the ball to Horford sometime. It can't be any worse than the absolute garbage they're tossing up at the rim right now.

LOL at Glen Davis being listed at 6'9.

I remember there was a newspaper clipping when LSU went to the final four, and it said Glen Davis(6'9) and Tyrus Thomas(6'9) etc... but Tyrus was like wayyy taller.

Gotta love big baby though, he's a terrific personality, and a unique player.

Sammy Cassell is great to, whichever coaching staff he decides to join is going to be lucky to have the guy.

Woodson is stupid, Bibby sucks, refs are generous and the Hawks can't grab a defensive rebound to save their lives. Pretty much sums up this game.

Not that it matters, but when you say that the refs are generous you obviously mean towards the Hawks.
