You see it as the Hawks not playing well. I see it as the Celtics playing suffocating Defense. You could have similar perspectives on Games 3,4, and 6.

Please, we've missed a billion layups that normally go in, and Horford and Smith are playing downright scared turning the ball over, shooting airballs, and just flatout choking.

KG showing his intensity in this blowout. Now he can take shots in the 4th quarter without having to be afraid.

LOL at Garnett not making eye contact with Zaza.

Clean pick though.

All he's done is win a trip to the second round let me know when he's hoisting the Larry O'Brien trophy

Believe it or not, no. They weren't nearly as aggressive.


Embarrassment and Elimination are a good motivator.

But, it's my impression that the Celtic were unmotived the entire 2nd half of the season. THeir play in the first 6 games of the playoffs was no different than their regular season play for at least half the season.

Zaza just got his bitch ass laid out on a CLEAN play. That's how you give hard fouls, Atlanta. A hard foul isn't supposed to be attempted murder.

We're the best road team in the league...


That means nothing. You're 0-3 on the road in the playoffs.

That being said, I can't see Cleveland beating Boston. Cleveland, I believe, is a better matchup for Boston than Atlanta was.

Perhaps you haven't watched this series.


Perhaps you haven't watched the rest of the season when Stern and his minions weren't trying to revive every franchise Boston played against on the road.

This is just sad. Complete and utter destruction at its finest. I thought the way my 76ers played the Pistons was bad. This is just horrible.

How? By taking 7 games to beat a 30 win team? By passing up 4th quarter shots? This shouldn't have gone past 5 games max.

You could definitely say that about a lot of their games but they did show up for quite few like the ones against the texas triangles.

Also lol at Boston chanting MVP for both Pierce and KG.

Actually I live in Boston and watched 90% of their games this season. But thanks for trying.
