It normally seems that way when a team has a FG% of .484, a 3 point % of .455 and when your opponent is shooting .408....I didn't even include a 3 point % for Atlanta because they don't have any at this point. It's been a weakness all year long.

Payback would have been if KG landed on him in addition. That's basically what happened to Pierce.

Powe does a pretty good job drawing three charges, and they are all called blocks. Perkins ducks in and its a charge. Johnson ducks his shoulder into Allen and sends him flying and its play on. Boston gets some momentum going, and they find an off the ball foul somewhere to put Atlanta on the line.

Foul shots are 20-12 Atlanta - but it isn't so much the stats. Just seems that every time that a call could go either way, it goes to Atlanta.

Posey blowing the lay-up turned into a five-point swing. The two Boston should have had, the one of two that Big Baby gave them going over the back on the rebound, and the two more that Atlanta got on the end because there was enough time for two possessions.


Agreed. This **** is ridiculous.

now that makes me so mad. Pierce was hit in the head and thrown down, and landed on by another, no flag.

Posey hits the ball and him, he goes down, exact same way, flag.

If that's payback, would "sweet revenge" be Davis landing on him??? ;)

I don't think I've seen KG miss as many jumpers as he has this game. Not sure what's going on there.

I love the intensity this team brings, they are up big and that just does not satisfy them. I also like how the hawks keep talking at least it makes the series interesting.

I doubt it. There was a time when the 3 pointer didn't even exist. :wink:

I'm wondering which Hawk is going to start talking trash in the media this time. First Childress, then Bibby...
